🇵🇸 From BDS - What to Boycott:

Fruits, vegetables and wines from Israel are often wrongly labelled as “Produce in Israel” when they come from stolen Palestinian land. Boycott all produce from Israel in your supermarket and demand they are removed from shelves.

thank you @leandra-winchester for making the graphic above! if any of you are active on other social platforms, you have her permission to use the image however you want (no credit required)

keep in mind, though, that this isn't a complete list: you should still check the origin labels on other types of fruit and veggies, and see if any local orgs have produced a more complete breakdown of israeli produce that's specific to your country

Say it for the people in the back 🗣️

Not ALL opinions are valid, nor should ALL opinions be valid, as time goes on compromise gets pushed to the back burner because it’s either I’m right and your wrong, or your right and I’m wrong. And if we can’t reach a compromise it’s “well let’s agree to disagree”, but the issue is I don’t agree with you, I don’t agree with you now so what makes you assume that upon later reflection I would agree with you then? Then that means that I agree with your invalid opinion when in all actuality I don’t. The purpose of debates is to reach an point in which both parties can confidently say or reach a compromise that everyone can benefit from, so what do I benefit or gain from eliminating abortion laws, gender-affirming care, and book bans?

I gain a higher death rate should I ever become pregnant, I can’t easily get access to birth control, plastic surgery, and mental health care, which are already things that as a person of color I already have to jump through hoops to achieve access to these ‘basic’ amenities, and also measures are being put into place so that the history that is being taught is the history that is nitpicked and dissected before being taught to people. I don’t want or need all of the above, I want accessible and affordable abortion, accessible and affordable health care and books that aren’t banned for speaking on or about Americas true history, we still have people living from Tulsa ,Oklahoma who are still looking for reparations to this day. I don’t agree with y’all , I do disagree so what are we going to do to achieve a compromise.

At Moms for Liberty summit 'Mama Bears' declare spiritual war on the 'Radical Left’, Annika Brockschmidt, Religion Dispatches:

Given that Moms for Liberty is a very young group on the conservative circuit it’s remarkable that both Trump and DeSantis, in addition to other presidential hopefuls, made the pilgrimage to Philadelphia to laud Moms for Liberty’s message—and, in Nikki Haley’s case, to portray herself as one of them. None of the candidates appears to have been at all concerned by the fact that Moms for Liberty was just designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. According to the report by the SPLC, the group’s main goals are to “fuel rightwing hysteria and to make the world a less comfortable or safe place for certain students—primarily those who are Black, LGBTQ or who come from LGBTQ families.”

In fact, this designation sparked numerous jokes and gripes about being “the face of domestic terrorism” during the summit—eerily similar to CPAC’s announcement and display of a “we are all domestic terrorists” banner at its 2022 meeting in Dallas. There was a great deal of talk of revolution, sacrifice, and of war in general for a supposedly “apolitical” event in Philadelphia. During the event I repeatedly heard the refrain that “not every mom for liberty is conservative”—despite the backdrop, which included a Turning Point USA booth with stickers of a milk carton with “liberal tears” and “pro-life” pins, and a merchandise corner with T-shirts like “Joe and the Hoe gotta go” and the Palin-esque “Mamma Bear—don’t mess with my cubs!”

The summit took place under heavy police presence—something the organizers made sure to exploit. “Thank the police officers for protecting us, ok? Every single one,” a staffer advised eagerly as we were escorted by a throng of police officers out of the Museum of the American Revolution, where Wallbuilders president Tim Barton had just butchered American history in a speech punctuated by his plea that “we have to make America great again!” In between speeches, speakers would hold prayers to bless the “hotel staff, those who serve our food, who make our beds,” and praise to God for not letting “hotel staff” be swayed by the protesters outside.

The vibe was strange, eerie, and excited—a cross between a White supremacist sorority meeting; a capitalist love-fest with deep bonding over hatred for “the Left,” the LGBTQ+ community, and anti-racism efforts (all dressed up as expressions of love for their children); and a pentecostal revival with some distinct NAR overtones. “Our children belong to the Lord, not the government,” declared Patriot Mobile spokeswoman Leigh Wambsganss. “This is not a political war, it is a spiritual war!

Oklahoma judge dismisses Tulsa race massacre reparations case filed by last known survivors, Omar Jimenez and Rebekah Riess, CNN:

An Oklahoma judge dismissed the reparations lawsuit filed by the last three known survivors of the Tulsa race massacre on Friday, court records show.

The three had been locked in a yearslong court battle against the City of Tulsa and other groups and officials over the opportunities taken from them when the city’s Greenwood neighborhood was burned to the ground in 1921.

Contemporary reports of deaths began at 36, but historians now believe as many as 300 people may have died, according to the Tulsa Historical Society and Museum. Thousands were left homeless.

Opinions can be invalid and wrong.

Duuuhh.

[mysticalamity]

Let's talk about children's rights, and how time goes on we go back in time in regards of the laws and legislation that is created in order to “protect” our children. But we can’t properly protect the children until the majority of people start viewing children as something to protect, because it’s quite easy to say “yes I support children’s rights and believe in protecting children” and yet none of their actions match their intentions, in fact the majority of people believe that children are incapable of thinking for themselves to such a degree that they would strip the right to receiving proper medical care just because of fear and anger towards the LGBTQIA+ community they themselves have not took the time to properly educate themselves and learn from history, this is unacceptable when we have knowledge literally at our fingertips and common sense which seems to be on the decline for the majority of people supporting child labor laws that have young teens working in slaughter houses and put into the hands of corporations because this is how America always functioned.

July 1st in Indiana anyone under the age of 18 will stop receiving gender-affirming care, anyone on blockers or is receiving hormone therapy will stop receiving treatment, mental health checks will be paused, and plastic surgery will be put on hold as well, the ACLU of Indiana has challenged this ruling and posted an article on the app NewsBreak and I will post some of the comments received on this article because these are the people who are “fighting to protect” children,here are the comments:

It’s frankly fucking disappointing how far the rabbit hole of indoctrination is and how many people have fallen into it and refuse to let themselves out, I found a Tiktok video that explains and answers all of what you see above “we have choices women. If you don’t want to become pregnant use protection to prevent it” birth control is a way to protect against pregnancy but it falls under gender affirming care so people under 18 who need birth control to help regulate their cycles and hormones won’t have access to this form of protection along with Florida banning talks of menstrual cycles and sex ed to children which means an influx of confused vulnerable people ripe for the picking by abusers and predators, I was in 5th grade when my cycle started, and most people don’t know that cycles can start earlier than 5th grade thanks to the chemicals and hormones our food is saturated with and yet no one is demanding we do something about our food, no the vast majority are in support of what impedes children and people. Opinions can be wrong the minute they impede basic fucking rights such as the right to receive medical care for children due to them “being young” so both of those opinions are wrong and showing of what people actually think is “protecting the children” and the best way to do that is by keeping them uneducated by banning books because they might be inappropriate but in order to “protect” children we took their right of making basic choices away along with ignoring the facts that librarians are there to help guide young readers to books and content that is appropriate for the kids I mean these comments really sums up all of what the vast majority of Hoosiers think about children and how we should go about “protecting them” and yet nothing on the fact that colored children are constantly being yanked from their homes/families to be placed in white households or even CPS or about the fact that child marriage is still legal in some states but Hoosiers can agree on the fact that children making choices for themselves is a very serious threat.

As explained by Hagatha “not people, CHILDREN” but wait 🤨 what are children if not people? Children are people, in fact their one of the most exploitable people and each day they are exploited. To the majority they don’t care about children’s rights because if they did they would be fighting like hell to make sure the ACLU will win, they would be fighting back against senator Todd Rokita and his 18 state lawsuit against immigrants, child labor is not “needed” this system needs children in order to work and the vast majority of you willfully chose to let your child be at mercy of this system, I wonder what’s going to happen to the the children who went “missing” by the border since 2020? Oh wait we do know they are now found working night shifts in fucking slaughter houses dealing with chemical burns while on the job so the next question is are they going back to their parents? Along with the others who were working at fast food shops dealing with hot grease and the stoves while barely even turning 11 are you fucking kidding me Dairy Queen is guilty of this along with Taco Bell and a couple other restaurants because the people who want your children working for them are all in the fast food/food biz the articles are out there and google is right there. Hoosiers are complacent, they don’t view children as being worthy to protect because they care to much about pleasing the system that might one day finally reward them even though history has shown that the people in power only care about being in power, it’s like all of a sudden every one is very pro government even though Watergate cemented the fact that the government/legislators should not be completely trusted in. In Indiana they banned Kindergartener’s through 3rd graders from talking about anything to pertain to the LGBTQIA+ community, they even went so far as to add that if any child is to “act outside their gender” teachers have the right to inform parents, like for example if a teacher just “can’t get your name right” they give you a nickname to call you by but you prefer them to call you by their name, the teacher can then mark you up or whatever and then they will inform your parents of what happened regardless of how that parent might react to the child because to be truthful people don’t like children and it’s showing through the fact that people forget or willfully ignore that homophobia/transphobia and racism are a packaged deal meaning you can be transphobic and racist, homophobic and racist, sexist and racist because at this very point of time Hoosiers are allowing for and welcoming legalized child abuse because they don’t want/like children/people who challenge white supremacies ideal’s.
