I’m going to scream. The grass is still green, I’m still seeing birds and the temperature is bearable. In the middle of November. In fucking Minnesota.
yet they still try to claim that climate change is a hoax and that everything’s fine, yeah “our best interest” my ass they fight for themselves not their people. I’m just a teenager but I can’t even try to worry about drama and celebrity shit because the adults in control of my country, my home are going to kill the world before I have a chance to grow up in it. How am I supposed to care about anything that doesn’t directly affect me when I’m wondering if I should by all of the classic books before the end up getting banned andd if the ones I’m going to write will fall to the same fate, because I’m not letting so many voices, MY VOICE go forgotten even if I have burn in place of the very words I and so many others write. so many people tell teenagers to just focus on grades which is practically impossible when I have to think about whether or not I’ll have to use the fact that three women in my mother’s family have had breast cancer including my mother herself to convince the doctors and government to let me have top surgery. How am I supposed to care about grades when I might not be able to get into college because it would be made harder or less acceptable for me to go just because I had the misfortune of being born female and that means I have something these men want. That is if I make it through high school without being shot of course. the politicians say they’re doing all of this for the children (obviously that’s why they want to ban drag you know/sar) but won’t listen to us when we cry for change as they instead walk in the other direction, they say this is for us but then they make a world where green grass and birds make me want to scream
they won’t listen to our screams now it’s about time to start biting and scratching
#us politics#transgender#nonbinary#Fuck this government#i hate this#but no matter what#im not leaving it’s just as much my home as there’s maybe even more because Im live with the people not money#This country’s my home this states my home and I’ll keep fighting for it to to be what it could be until I can’t#Wether that’s just by writing books and being true to myself#Or by fighting by screaming until my voice leaves me and and burning on a stake for that#So be it#I was raised in a country that was built on breaking rules and by a state that was one of the first Union legions to join the civil war#I grew up learning about the 1st Minnesota and how we still haven’t given Virginia its flag back#They want us to act like Americans right? Then let’s fight back#they want true American spirit then let’s give them revolution let’s revolt#Also if they must deport someone deport Elon Musk

macron just. bypassed the french parliament YET AGAIN to pass the law adding two years to the minimum age for retirement.
it's a thing that happened.
#FUCK HIM#FUCK THIS GOVERNMENT#for real the parliament should vote a motion of no confidence and make the government resign#bc what the fuck#how is this a democracy#he uses the 49.3 loophole way too much to even pretend not to be authoritarian#he bypassed the parliament about a dozen times if not more#whereas previous presidents almost never used the 49.3#also what's the point of having a constitutionnal right to demonstrate and strike if the government never takes notice of it#the country could be on fire and macron still would not care#this is not normal#i am BEGGING members of parliament of all sides to come together and show they're not puppets that can be silenced at the president's will#if they don't revoke the government for *this* it's setting a very dangerous precedent#all presidents will be able to bypass parliament as they please knowing that they will be no consequences#it's not even about whether you agree with his policies or not tbh#it's about the president overstepping his role#upthebaguette

Just found out our racist government wants to increase parliament's term to four years. Which is bad enough, but it gets worse!
The bill (pdf here) would allow parliament to extend to four years, but only if the makeup of Select Committees "...is proportionate to the non-Executive parliamentary party membership" instead of being proportional to the whole of parliament.
This means giving the opposition more power in Select Committees. Which smells like the kind of right-wing fuckery we've seen from the USA.
The role of the Select Committees is to take a bill after its first reading, go over it, collect expert and public input, and then report back to parliament with recommendations and amendments. If an amendment has been unanimously agreed on by the Select Committee, it's added to the bill in its second reading.
There's a couple of types of bills that don't go through Select Committee, most importantly bills under urgency.
(I've taken this information from the Effective Select Comittee Membership Guidebook)
What I see happening is a right-wing opposition being in a position to throw as many spanners in the way of the government as possible, through using up the maximum time, calling on unreliable "experts" and adding in stupid amendments to try get the bill thrown out.
And when they're in power, they can just avoid the process altogether and pass as much as possible under urgency.
Not only that, but the bill will be put to a binding referendum. That means that instead of needing the support of 75% of Parliament to pass (people well-informed about the power and roll of Select Committees), it will only require 50% of the public (people ill-informed about Select Committees). It will be sold as a "common sense" thing that "most everyone" supports.
Basically, this government is relying on being able to misinform the public into giving them more backroom power. If this passes at the next election, it wouldn't matter if they get a second term or not, they'll have secured a win for their power-hungry voids.

Got a letter from my local congress representative because of the email I sent regarding the genocide in Palestine.
Their response was such dogshit and I was so pissed off that I immediately ripped up and tossed the letter... and also forgot what the hell it actually said.
But from what I remember, they're still on the side of Israel.
I'm fucking nauseous.
#Palestine#free palestine#stand with palestine#fuck this government#from the river to the sea palestine will be free

New York Times wrote a piece on Ghali 😭😭❤️ Mashallah khoya ❤️
Ghali recently turned 30 and has, he says, been using 2023 to recalibrate. In “Pare,” he sings, “Sometimes you have to be reborn, to leave behind things that I then destroy because they don’t destroy me.” He is deepening his knowledge about Islam and during Ramadan traveled to Saudi Arabia for the first time, making Umrah with his mother; he included Mediterranea in his prayers.
He is quick to note, though, that he has always believed in God. What is different is that after feeling for years he had to “suffocate my origins, traditions, beliefs to integrate into a society that does not accept you for who you are,” he is sharing them much more publicly. He wishes there had been even a single famous Italian doing the same when he was a child: “Some days would have been much better.”
In July, he traveled to Tunisia for the first time since the start of the pandemic. In the early-morning hours before he left, still awake after performing at another rapper’s concert in Milan, he scrolled through his long-ignored direct messages on Instagram. He was stunned at all the messages he had received over the previous several months from Tunisians begging for his help to fund the crossing. In a surreal twist, among the DMs was one from the young man who played the protagonist in the video for “Mamma.”
Speaking from a cafe in Tunisia perched above the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, Ghali said, “Despite all the bad news that comes, despite how dangerous it is, people are crossing more and more and are asking me to help them.”
Ghali said the argument he hears all the time — that, because they are not fleeing war, North Africans have no legitimate reason to leave — misses the point entirely.
“In Tunisia, you learn at a very young age that you can’t dream,” he said. “They disabuse you of dreaming right away. What does a person do, a person who is resigned to have no more dreams here, who maybe even stops dreaming? If in Italy, you can dream, then for a young Tunisian who wants to do something in life, they leave to at least dream, to have the right to dream.”
#fuck this government#going through the article right now such a read. it's about migration and very political#i love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️#ghali#migration

reminder that adhd medication isn't a luxury or preference, but a lifesaving medication. a 10 year long study in the usa showed that, when properly medicated, the rate of car crashes people with adhd get into goes down significantly--men's rate drops by 38%, and women's by 42%. the med shortage, denial of meds by doctors, rising prices, and the "war on drugs" has killed--with such a car dependent society, not driving frequently isn't an option, which means we need better healthcare and need it now.

edit because i forgot to explain: short link is to an article by the washington post, it should be free to read

Now that Eurovision is over, I want you all, especially the Americans, to take a good hard look at how the voting results turned out when people boycotted the event.
In the UK, the viewing figures were down about 2 million people compared to last year. Up to 2 million people made the conscious decision to not watch and not vote because of Israel's inclusion.
The final results of the public vote, Israel came in first place in the UK and got 12 points. Because the only people watching and voting were people who backed Israel or at least didn’t care one way or another.
This doesn't matter. It's a music contest. The boycott was still the right thing to do because it is just a show at the end of the day, and the viewing figures have more impact than the results.
But it is also a good object lesson to show you what happens if you boycott a vote over something that does matter. Choosing not to vote in, let's say, a presidential election will have similar results.
#eurovision#us politics#boycotting is for companies not for voting#if you think this post is about the minutiae of voting numbers in Eurovision congratulations on missing the entire point#for fuck's sake I'm turning off reblogs because I'm sick of all the assholes in the notes.#I am tired of humanity and may you all get the government you deserve
