there needs to be a cultural shift in america like im not talking about culture war bullshit i mean the average american needs to learn to care about their community and the rest of the world and not be a self-absorbed asshole with a "fuck you i got mine" attitude.

Is she genuinely losing?! How are the democrats so good at losing

To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

I'm seeing a lot of "how could this happen" and other forms of bewilderment on this platform right now and as gently as possible I need to tell you all to wake up and pay attention.

our country has been falling to fascism for the past 20 years. even our democratic presidents have been fascists. Obama was a fascist. Biden was a fascist.

you cannot vote your way out of this problem. the most voting can do is momentarily forestall the fall, it cannot stop it.

the only thing you can do is rise up. you need to build the new world in the shell of the old. get on the streets. form unions. riot. form food banks. create underground networks of medical support. organize in a real way. no amount of voting will save us in the long run. it will not work.

sitting there feeling powerless is where they want you to be. they want you to feel disempowered. they want you to feel hopeless. you need to Get Up and Do Something about it.

Kamala Harris after running one of the worst campaigns in US history and seeing she still lost despite using the Masterful "Vote blue no matter who" strategy.

[stardust-gamecube]

What’s also crazy is that the losses likely probably came from people whose only political view is that eggs are two expensive and they voted for a guy whose explicit economic plan is to intentionally cause a major depression

[stardust-gamecube]

If Kamala loses tonight I don’t want to see anyone blaming the voters. Presidents must earn our votes, if she failed to do so that’s on her and the Democratic Party. Arab voters and POC didn’t fail her, she failed them

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.

Maybe you shouldn’t have responded to people’s despair over a genocide with barely concealed contempt?

[stardust-gamecube]

just want to say if trump wins it's bc kamala ran one of the most evil and braindead campaigns ever run by a democrat

[stardust-gamecube]

whatever happens tomorrow, just know its white people’s fault

Please block gaza-scam-alerts. The account is not a real scam busting blog, they are sharing posts that accuse all Palestinian gfms of being scams if you take a glance. Don’t harass/etc. Just block.

Don’t trust any ‘scam alerts’ they might make.

My friend is organising for their family to evacuate Gaza.

Please share and contribute if possible!

look if one thing reaches the vast majority of american blue voters on this website please just vote for kamala without mentioning palestine or the middle east at all. please. i respect people who are honest about being afraid and not knowing what else to do. just vote and ask other people to vote without trying to justify it for palestinians, even if this is something troubling you morally or something you feel sure you are right about. nine times out of ten when you try to do this you end up saying something extraordinarily hurtful and callous and i know a lot of you aren't cruel, you're just scared. just say "im scared and i'm going to vote for kamala" and let it go.

if anyone is trying to donate to help in Gaza through orgs, these ones were just banned by the Israeli government with no reason given and can no longer operate in Gaza (at least for now).

these are the orgs: Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association, Glia Project, Palestinian American Bridge, PalMed, Baitulmaal, FAJR, Palestinian American Medical Association, Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund

from what i’ve been told by people who have been working in/coordinating aid in Gaza, Palestinian Red Crescent Society, World Central Kitchen, and Anera are unaffected by this order, but everyone has been limited in what they can bring in. while the middle two aren’t medical orgs, they have been bringing in some medicine. PRCS is a red cross affiliate providing medical care.

(not trying to sway anyone’s donations but wanted to put this out there since PCRF has been the org i’ve recommended several people donate to previously.)

Donate to Mohammed Ayesh, who has helped hundreds of Gazan families in such a short time.
