Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.

This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.

All i want to say that’s my brother is hungry and there’s nothing to eat just the bread

i’m proud of the ten people in vermont who recognized what was at stake, recognized that great is the enemy of good, held their nose, and voted for joe biden

If enacted, the change would make it much easier for border agents to remove migrants before they can meet with an attorney. None of the unilateral asylum bars passed by the Biden administration are part of statute, leading some to question their legality.

Seeing someone’s extremely curated looking queer friend group of all skinny afab people who have the same ironically trendy dress sense gives me an identical ick to seeing a bunch of blonde sorority girls traveling in a pack sorry. Get one bear or a normal ass butch in khakis in there for the love of god

What do you mean all my problems can't be solved by cleaving things in twain with an ancient mighty blade. You're sounding awful cleavable right now.

“Men go down the alt right pipeline because women/feminists are too mean to them”

have you seen the way alt right men talk to each other? They are so fucking mean to each other. If someone being mean is what’s causing people to shift away from an ideology then more men should be shifting towards being a feminist. Maybe men are going down the alt right pipeline because they hate women. Crazy idea I know.

watching a film and then checking the tag for the film for a little photo or gifset you can reblog to tell everyone you just watched a film but all the options suck. I might as well die

what I wish people would understand about fundraising for gaza is that while everyone is desperate and I would never say not to fundraise for or donate to individual families-- I currently fundraise to support multiple friends' families-- the overwhelming narrative I see on Tumblr that the best and most ethical thing you can do is send money to individuals and there is no option for anything else is so so incredibly damaging and inadvertently lends support to the marginalization and distrust of any remaining communal social infrastructure. the sameer project, which you should donate to, talks about this in a recent video they put out. the situation in gaza is unimaginable and everyone is in need of a huge level of support, and yet this fundraising discourse by well-meaning people in the west that donating money to individuals is the only moral way reproduces societal divides wherein resources are directed to people who speak English, who have relationships with people outside of gaza, and who have internet access while hundreds of thousands are left behind.

there ARE non-ngo locally based grassroots initiatives working to meet those needs however they can, and your small donation goes a lot further with them because they are able to buy food/water/supplies in bulk at a reduced price and reach more people with less money. again I'm not saying people shouldn't fundraise for individuals because these initiatives are so limited and many people cannot access them -- but as an example, the group I fundraise with is currently serving people fleeing north gaza who are starving and have nothing, and when we fundraise enough to do cash aid distribution there's so much need that our partners can only distribute 100-200 per large family. and then I go online and see people who have absolutely no understanding of this context at all exclusively working towards raising tens of thousands for just a few people when evacuations haven't been possible for months. it's good to do whatever you can but please consider how this narrative being reproduced among westerners trying to help that there are no other options has the potential to damage groups working towards equity and wider reach however is still possible

I've been thinking of nothing but the harris campaign for days and I still can't fully comprehend that it was real

i grew up pretty right wing and veered pretty hard left before normalizing as an annoying liberal but i don't know if it goes the other way. most of the guys i know my age who are like right-ish are definitely status quo types, but the constant rightwing propaganda definitely helped drive them that way, along with like, buzzfeed feminism type teachers in highschool making really bad impressions them (commonly cited at least)

'my teacher was a bitch so now i think abortion should be illegal' lol. really convincing

the thing about this whole feminism is sending men rightward thing... as a girl, your very existence is annoying to sexists. your voice is too shrill, you're hysterical, you're bossy, your confidence is disgusting, your insecurity is pathetic. i have no doubt that rightwing men think that women and queer people are fucking annoying, and i don't care

rightwing men don't like us and then when they say they don't like us this is treated as some deep and important insight we should learn from. no thank you

reddit is absolutely unhinged right now it has me feeling like I'M the weird one for saying don't fucking get your neighbor's family deported by ICE because one family member voted trump. actually I got hate before on *this site* for saying don't make fun of a teen girl dying in childbirth just because she was pro life so maybe some people need to grow and change as a person. it's deranged to fantasize about these things especially when you portray yourself as otherwise progressive? i'm not sure you were the one most scared of a trump presidency if you feel you can so easily leverage these policies against others without consequence anyway
