Every president makes it their state policy and goal to inflict numerous horrors and injustices on the people of swana and this has been bipartisan since the first bush presidency, nonstop.

First bush: Iraq war

Clinton: somalia, Oslo Accords which solidified apartheid and occupation as status quo

Second bush: Iraq war and Afghanistan invasion, assaults on gaza

Obama: nato invasion of Libya, incessant bombing of Yemen, assaults on Gaza

Trump: Yemen bombings, syria bombings, just continuous bombings, Abraham accords

Biden: 2021 bombing of Gaza, bombing of yemen, 2023-2025 genocide of Palestinians

And even then I'm missing a lot. The American government is intent on ravaging swana.

Liberals still defending the democratic party in 2025 when by proven metrics in the aftermath of the election the democratic party failed by being genocidal and campaigning to republicans should shut the fuck up. Genuinely you need to learn from people who were calling this outcome out a year ago that you wrote off because they were “radical.”

Yeah people are going to be rude to you if you say “Joe Biden said to go vote what else could he have done.” A fucking fifth grader has better civics knowledge than you.

what really pisses me off is that all of the white queers screaming about trump and the supposed queer purge that they thought was gonna happen have been completely silent about ICE but you know maybe theyre all too busy figuring out that people living in china are real people to via xiaohongshu rather than paying attention to whats going on around them

The fact that I've already seen people pin Musk's "blunder" on his autism is deplorable. Really goes to show how whiteness and wealth interacts with perceptions of disability versus how disabled and poor people of color are treated.

A Black or brown person is autistic and sincerely having difficulties? People, and law enforcement foremostly, are quick to label them as violent threats.

People of color with disabilities, (or even those perceived as "weird") especially if they're poor or homeless, are always on thin ice, knowing they are never given the benefit of the doubt or any grace for honest mistakes, while that demon can make a Nazi salute and have his followers clamber to baby him and make excuses for him.

Noor's son, Mohammed, is disabled and needs daily treatment. He had been receiving regular physical therapy before the attacks in Gaza and he quickly deteriorated during the genocide. His mother is raising funds for him (vetted here) as their resources have been depleted. Please donate here.

I love the effect you have on Zionists on here. Every time you call one of them out they spent the next month obsessively posting about you. It's actually how I found you to begin with

Haha I know

They're obsessed with me. I'm their Boogeyman

It just goes to show you how important it is for us Jews to call out the Nazi-ideology that is Zionist tumblr.

Some facts, a little bit of logic, and some common sense is all it takes to completely dismantle any of their talking points and send them spiraling

Excerpt from this story from the Audubon Society:

For over 40 years, the Coastal Barrier Resources Act has been a little-known bipartisan environmental law—quietly protecting critical bird habitat, providing coastal communities with a natural buffer against storms and sea-level rise, and saving taxpayers billions of dollars, all while staying under the radar. Audubon has long been a champion of this law, and now we have reason to celebrate! Last week, President Biden signed the Bolstering Ecosystems Against Coastal Harm (BEACH) Act, updating the Coastal Barrier Resources Act and expanding its protected system of coastal areas that buffers people and birds from flooding on our coasts. 

Congress passed the BEACH Act with overwhelming bipartisan support just last month, adding nearly 300,000 acres of wetlands and beaches to the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) system, codifying its largest expansion since 1990. For years, Audubon has worked with a diverse coalition of partner organizations, multiple presidential administrations, and legislators on both sides of the aisle to massively expand the CBRA system, and the sweeping success of this bill is one of our most exciting accomplishments for the coast. 

Created in 1982, the CBRA protects coastal habitat and property while saving lives and federal taxpayer dollars in a distinctive way. Undeveloped beaches and coastal wetlands around our country provide vital habitat for birds and wildlife, especially in the face of climate change impacts such as sea-level rise and increased storm frequency and intensity. These coastal areas are also particularly prone to those climate impacts, endangering lives, property, and vulnerable species. The CBRA discourages development in these hazard-prone areas by removing most federal spending, including flood insurance, disaster recovery grants, and other federal expenditures on the CBRA’s system of protected areas. This market-based approach is working. A recent study demonstrates this in its finding that CBRA is highly effective at achieving its intended goals—reducing development by 85 percent compared to nearby areas, reducing flood damage by 25 percent, and adding ecologically important layers of protection to coastal areas. 

Currently, CBRA protects 3.5 million acres on the coasts of the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Great Lakes, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These largely undeveloped areas are an ideal habitat for birds like American Oystercatchers and Piping Plovers to nest and rest well away from any human disturbance. Intact coastal beaches and wetlands like this also serve as a natural buffer for nearby communities from storms and sea-level rise. Beach dunes act as speed bumps to slow down wind and waves, and marshes act as sponges soaking up floodwaters.

Would like to request everyone to continue supporting the fundraisers in whatever way you can please. There is a ceasefire- there is relief, there is sadness and so many other things that none of us who are outsiders will ever know...but i have been talking to some of my Gazan friends on here, and right now what is happening is people want to go back home- they want to clean the rubble and rebuild it. They want to rebuild their lives. They want to rebuild Gaza. The ceasefire is only the first step and our solidarity should go beyond it.
