Do you normally skip Gazan campaigns? Yes? Will pictures of an adorable baby get you to donate and share, then?

Noor Al-Anqar was born 5 months before Israel started their latest genocidal assault on Gaza. All she knows is war. Her first words were said in war, her first steps were taken in war. The world around her as she knows it exists like this. She is 19 months old, and in the picture above, she is helping carry the water jugs that help her family survive. How is this fair!?!

We do not know how long this ceasefire will last with the current governments. It is up to you, YES YOU, to raise the money so this child can escape Gaza. She is not receiving adequate nutrition, education, or enrichment in these CRUCIAL years of her development. If the ceasefire is broken, the chance of crossing the Rafah border will likely go away again—so while there are no bombs raining down around this baby, let’s raise the money to get her and her family (consisting of five other children under the age of 10!!) out of Gaza!!!!!

$12,145/$20,000

Thank you, my friends, for bringing us to 89,000. I want to thank everyone, but we still need help. The crossing is about to open, so I ask you to donate to us so that we can travel safely.

[elizabro]

yeah this is a self-evident biological hierarchy. that's why we have to enforce it with violence

There is no way of accidentally doing a nazi salute twice in a row while the entire world is watching. This man needs to be killed

Iman Al-Anqar, 6, has osteoporosis and desperately needs a foot brace to walk. While her family has raised some money towards this goal, they are still in need of more funds—liquidity takes out 30% of their funds when transferring money to Gaza, and GoFundMe takes another 21%. With the Rafah border crossing opening up, not only do the Al-Anqars need to raise money for the crossing fee, but for Iman’s foot brace so she can make the journey into Egypt. While the ceasefire is in effect, please use this time to organize and donate as much as you can.

"On his first day back in the White House, president Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders, including rescinding Biden-era executive actions and withdrawing the US from the Paris climate accord.

Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity during his campaign that he would be a dictator only on “day one” and use his presidential powers to close the southern border with Mexico and expand oil drilling.

“After that, I’m not a dictator,” he said.

As executive orders rolled in on Monday, the accelerated pace amounted to a shock-and-awe campaign. Trump promised in his inaugural speech that these orders would amount to a “complete restoration of America”.

Here’s what we know so far about themost significant executive orders and actions Trump signed on Monday.

Ending birthright citizenship

The order: Along with a slew of immigration-focused orders, Trump is targeting automatic citizenship for US-born children of immigrants in the country illegally, to begin 30 days from today.

What Trump said: The order specifies that it would limit birthright citizenship if a person’s “mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth”, or “when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States at the time of said person’s birth was lawful but temporary”.

What it means: Birthright citizenship, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born on US soil, is protected by the 14th amendment and any attempt to revoke it will likely bring immediate legal challenges. The order attempts to deny documents recognizing US citizenship for individuals who meet that criteria and are born in the US 30 days after the order was signed.

-via The Guardian, January 20, 2025. Article continues below.

Leaving the World Health Organization

The order: Trump signed an order to have the US exit the World Health Organization (WHO).

What Trump said: “World Health ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It’s not going to happen anymore,” Trump said at the signing. He accused the WHO mishandled the Covid-19 pandemic and other international health crises.

What it means: The US will leave the WHO in 12 months’ time and stop all financial contributions to its work. The US is biggest financial backer to the United Nations health agency.

Renaming the Gulf of Mexico

The order: Trump ordered two name changes: the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska’s Mount Denali.

What Trump said: “President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American Civilization,” the executive order said in part.

What it means: Trump ordered the Gulf of Mexico to be renamed the “Gulf of America”, something he promised earlier this month at a press conference. He will rechristen Alaska’s Mount Denali as Mount McKinley, a change first made by former president Barack Obama in 2015 to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives as well as the preference of many Alaska residents.

It will have no bearing on what names are used internationally.

Revoking electric vehicle targets

The order: Trump revoked a non-binding executive order signed by Biden aimed at making half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 electric.

What Trump said: “The United States will not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity,” Trump said on Monday afternoon.

What it means: Part of an effort to repeal Biden’s environmental protections, Trump has also promised to roll back auto pollution standards finalized by Biden’s administration last spring.

Reclassifying federal employees, making them easier to fire

The order: Trump’s executive order reclassified thousands of federal employees as political hires, making it much easier for them to be fired.

What Trump said: Aides to the president have long heralded mass government firings as part of an attack on the so-called “administrative” or “deep” state.

What it means: Trump effectively reinstates “Schedule F”, an executive order he signed in the last year of his first term, seeking to reclassify tens of thousands of federal workers. (Biden rescinded the order.)

Key aides to Trump have called for mass government firings. Project 2025 made attacks on the deep or administrative state a core part of Trump’s second term. The rightwing playbook called for civil servants deemed politically unreliable to be fired and replaced by conservatives.

Declaring a national energy emergency

The order: Trump declared a national energy emergency as part of a barrage of pro-fossil fuel actions and efforts to “unleash” already booming US energy production that included also rolling back restrictions in drilling in Alaska and undoing a pause on gas exports.

What Trump said: The order means “you can do whatever you have to do to get out of that problem and we do have that kind of emergency,” Trump said at the White House late on Monday.

What it means: The declaration would allow his administration to fast-track permits for new fossil fuel infrastructure. It is likely that the order, part of a broader effort to roll back climate policy, will face legal challenges.

Creating a policy recognizing only two genders

The order: Trump signed an order to remove “gender ideology guidance” from federal government communication, policies and forms. The order makes it official policy that there are “only two genders, male and female”.

What Trump said: “Agencies will cease pretending that men can be women and women can be men when enforcing laws that protect against sex discrimination,” the order states.

What it means: The order reverses a Biden-era executive action on the acceptance of gender identity.

Pausing the TikTok ban

The order: Trump signed an executive order temporarily delaying the enforcement of a federal ban on TikTok for at least 75 days.

What Trump said: “I guess I have a warm spot for TikTok that I didn’t have originally,” Trump said at the White House, as he signed executive orders according to the New York Times.

What it means: Trump ordered his attorney general to not enforce the law requiring TikTok’s sale. Trump says the pause allows for time to chart an “appropriate course forward” to protect national security and not abruptly shut down the popular app. In his first term, Trump favored a TikTok ban, but has since changed his position due to factors including his own popularity on the app.

Rescinding 78 Biden-era executive actions

The order: Trump ordered 78 Biden-era executive actions to be rescinded, including at least a dozen measures supporting racial equity and combating discrimination against gay and transgender people.

What Trump said: “I’ll revoke nearly 80 destructive and radical executive actions of the previous administration,” Trump told a crowd in Washington after his inaugural speech. He also said he would end policy “trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life” and push for a “color blind and merit-based” society.

What it means: The orders signal a reversal of Biden-era policy that prioritized implementing diversity measures across the federal government. Trump repealed orders signed by Biden advancing racial equity for underserved communities and the aforementioned order combating discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation.

Declaring a national border emergency

The order: Trump signed an order at the White House declaring an emergency at the southern US border, along with several other immigration-related policies.

What Trump said: “All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came,” Trump said in his inauguration speech.

What it means: The executive action paves the way to send US troops to the southern border and makes good on campaign promises to implement hardline immigration policies. There are limited details about how the administration planned to execute its sprawling set of immigration actions that were all but certain to face legal and logistical challenges.

Immigrant communities across the country are bracing for Trump’s promise to carry out the “largest deportation program in American history”, beginning as early as Tuesday morning.

Issuing pardons for January 6 defendants

The order: Trump issued pardons for offenders and commutations related to the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He will direct the Department of Justice to dismiss cases currently in progress.

What Trump said: “I’m going to be signing on the J6 hostages, pardons, to get them out,” Trump said during his rally speech. “We’ll be signing pardons for a lot of people, a lot of people.” Trump said he has pardoned about 1,500 defendants charged in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol and issued six commutations.

What it means: Trump made his pledge to issue pardons for those with convictions related to the January 6 Capitol attack a core part of his re-election campaign. On the campaign trail, Trump often featured the national anthem sung by prisoners in a Washington DC jail. There are more than 1,500 people federally charged with associated charges.

With Trump back in the White House, justice department investigations into January 6 crimes are expected to cease.

Withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement

The order: Trump issued executive action withdrawing the US from the 2015 Paris agreement, along with a letter informing the United Nations of the decision.

What Trump said: “I am immediately withdrawing from the unfair, one-sided Paris Climate Accord rip off” Trump said during a rally at the Capital One Arena. In his inaugural speech, Trump said he would use executive action to “end the Green New Deal”.

What it means: In 2017, Trump exited the Paris agreement. Upon taking office in 2021, Biden rejoined. Monday’s order makes good on a Trump election promise to withdraw from the 2015 global treaty seeking to avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis.

Exiting the Paris agreement is part of Trump’s broader efforts to roll back climate protections and policy. Trump has described Biden’s efforts to grow the US’s clean energy sector as “the green new scam”.

alright, here's the actual text of the antitrans EO

not sure what the timeframe will be like on its enforcement so get those documents changed fast if you still can

if you get all liberal on this post i will block you this is a communist post

[elizabro]

via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.

Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.

btw if you’re not wearing a mask now is a good time to start

For the second day in a row, civil defense crews are recovering dozens of skeletons that were brutally killed without allowing international organizations to recover their bodies. This is what the world says about the army, the most humane. This army is nothing but an army that treats us as if we were all criminals. It treats the child as a criminal, the young man as a criminal, and the old man as a criminal. This is the reality of the Zionist Israeli army.

Just found out this hobby I got into is actually leftist, so engaging in it’s effectively the same as taking action.

“From the joking that went on among the actors painting the theater lobby that afternoon, I learned that ‘coming out’ meant having your first homosexual experience. And what you came into, of course, was homosexual society. [...] The origins of the term were debutante cotillions, those sprawling, formal society balls where, squired by equally young and uncomfortable cousins, brothers, or schoolmates, young ladies of sixteen or so ‘came out’ into society. [...] During that afternoon’s painting, I first learned what ‘a camp’ was—the color scheme the directors had chosen for the theater (peach, gold, and azure), for one. I also learned that ‘to camp’ (and the gerund ‘camping’) denoted dressing up in drag and, by extension, acting in a particularly effeminate manner, either in private or in public—flouting the notions of the straight world by flaunting the customs of the queer one. The noun form was the base form: ‘Oh, my dear, she is such a camp!’ (‘she,’ in such cases, almost always referring to a male.) Etymologically, of course, ‘camp’ was an apocopation of ‘camp follower.’ Camp followers were the women, frequently prostitutes, who followed the armies across Europe from military camp to military camp. Since the military have always had a special place in homosexual mythology, and presumably because the advent of a large group of young, generally womenless men was as good an excuse as any for cross-dressing among the local male populace so inclined, the then-new meaning of the term—’to go out and camp it up’; ‘to have a mad camp’ (and ‘a mad camp’ was the phrase most commonly in use)—gained currency in England during World War I and had been brought back to the United States by American soldiers. Calling something ‘a camp’ followed the same linguistic template as calling a funny experience ‘a riot.’ Indeed the two were often synonymous.

[…]

Differences are what create individuals. Identities are what create groups and categories. Identities are thus conditions of comparative simplicity that complex individuals might move toward but (fortunately) never achieve—until society, tired of the complexity of so much individual difference, finally, one way or the other, imposes an identity on us.

Identities are thus, by their nature, reductive. (You do not need an identity to become yourself; you need an identity to become like someone else.) Without identities, yes, language would be impossible (because categories would not be possible, and language requires categories). Still, in terms of persons, identity remains a highly problematic sort of reduction and cultural imposition.

Through the late sixties a sensation-hungry media began rummaging through various marginal social areas for new and exciting vocabulary. In almost every case, once a new term was found an almost complete change in meaning occurred as the term was applied to more or less bourgeois experiences and concerns. ‘Rap’ had already been appropriated from the world of down-and-out amphetamine druggies [...] ‘camp’ had already been borrowed from gay slang, largely in the wake of a popular 1964 Partisan Review essay by Susan Sontag (“Notes on ‘Camp’”), after which it all but lost its meaning of ‘cross-dressing’ and became a general synonym for ‘just too much.’ Spurred on by June ‘69’s Stonewall Riots and the rapid formation right afterward of the Gay Liberation Front, the term ‘coming out’ over the next eighteen months changed its meaning radically.

Gay Liberation proponents began to speak about ‘coming out’ of ‘the closet’—the first time either the words or the concepts had been linked. [...]

The logic of coming out—in this new sense—was impeccable. Sixteen and seventeen years before, the House Un-American Activities Committee, along with its hounding of Communists, had been equally vigilant in its crusade against homosexuals. HUAC’s logic was that homosexuals were security risks because we were susceptible to blackmail. Said the Gay Liberationists, if we’re ‘out,’ nobody can blackmail us and nobody can accuse us of being blackmailable. So let them all know who we are, how many of us there are, and that we’re proud to be what we are.

[…]

As a result of Stonewall and the redefinition of coming out, I had to consider that while I approved vigorously of coming out as a necessary strategy to avoid blackmail and to promote liberation, there seemed to be an oppressive aspect of surveillance and containment intertwined with it, especially when compared to the term’s older meaning. Before, one came out into the gay community. Now, coming out had become something entirely aimed at straights. Its initial meaning had been a matter of bodily performance. (It involved coming.) Now it had become a purely verbal one. Despite its political goals, was this change really as beneficial as it was touted to be? Since it had been a case of displacing a term rather than adding a term, hadn’t we lost something in that displacement?

We heard the phrase more and more; it became almost a single word. The straight media began to take it over. [...] I found myself wanting to stop people every time they began to say the phrase—to slow them, startle them with a slash struck down between the words, make them consider what each word meant separately, remind them of all the possible meanings—historical, new, and revolutionary—that the two could be packed with, either apart or joined.”
