#Speak Out

[punkspacepirate]

SHOUT IT

SAY HIS NAME: Nex Benedict, another 16 YEAR OLD was murdered in Oklahoma, news channels are deadnaming and misgendering him, just like with Brianna Ghey here in the UK. But I urge you to not let your grief drive you to despair. GET ANGRY. Do not become apathetic, do not let grief numb you. Stand united as a community, lean on each other, have each others back. Reach out to any trans individuals of any age and make sure they have support in some capacity. Speak with your family, your political representatives, your school, anywhere, with anyone, that may be able to make some change, whether big or small. Everything builds, that is the power of a movement, of solidarity. If you make life a bit safer for one trans youth once, then you may have saved their life that day. And that kid might then show some other kid that there is hope, and so they live as well. And it grows.

Fly high Nex.

being anti-genocide is not allowed on meta

like i said before, i don't mess with shaun king like that, but that being said, many things about one thing can be true at the same time. it is very clear that there is a wave of censorship happening across social media against pro-palestinian content in favor of israeli propaganda. so whether or not you like shaun or not, it is very clear what is happening and why. there is clearly a genocide happening in gaza that is being perpetuated by colonizing power. a genocide against an indigenous population for land, resources, and power. basically the same thing america did to the natives here. had it not been for people like shaun king (flawed as he may be), many people would not be aware of the heinous acts of israel against the palestinian people right now. so even as someone who is not a shaun king fan, i am not so myopic in my view of things to not realize that he served a positive purpose when it comes to the israeli genocide of palestinians.

on a much larger scale, whenever a platform or a power attacks someone popular, one of the goals is to send a message to everyone else that they are not safe and that they should back off. it's like a football coach picking on and cursing out their hall of fame quarterback. when everyone else who isn't as popular or powerful sees that on the team, they immediately realize that they must fall in line or worse can happen to them. that's the goal of banning shaun king from ig. however as a black man who understands how connected all oppressive systems are, we cannot slow down. may i remind all my brothers and sisters that israel is where police forces like the nypd go and train in abusive violent tactics, which they then come back to america and overwhelmingly exercise on black and brown bodies. so if you think this does not affect you, you are sadly and deeply mistaken. additionally, this kind of censorship is going to spread. if we don't fight back, it won't be long before you will be arrested for speaking out against israel. this is what israel wants, and they have the money and political power to make it happen. you can either sit back and let it happen or you can fight back. however, make no mistake, it's coming, and this is the first major blow that the enemy has struck in their offensive against our free speech.

ALL EYES ON RAFAH

Yes I’m gonna use the fucking jjk tag if you have a problem I could care less. I’m a jujutsu kaisen fanfic acc, yeah, but I’m also a person and there’s shit that’s more important than fiction going on.

If this is at least shown to someone from scrolling through jjk shit and they repost it I’ve done my job.

Here is a link to @ Erenhattamers link tree on Tik tok. Here you can help give aide to Palestinian families that need it.

Here is a link to @ operation olive branch’s link tree on Tik tok.

I know so many of you people on here have platforms. You have people who follow you. Sure it’s for fucking JJK shit. But why don’t you use it? I don’t care if it’s tumblr I don’t care if it’s your private instagram.

Use. It.

I DONT CARE: if it doesn’t go with your theme. I DONT CARE: if you don’t know enough. I DONT CARE: if you don’t post!!

I don’t care if you have ten followers or ten thousand. The algorithm needs engagement. So engage. Don’t spout bullshit when you can do shit to help.

I’m angry at my friends with Tik tok accounts or instagram accounts doing nothing. I’m angry at celebrities who want us to eat cake while they galavant around. I’m angry at people who sit and repost videos on Tik tok and think theyre model citizens.

I’m posting links. Re post those links. If you have money, donate. If you don’t. Repost. Protest, put stickers on benches, something. Block celebrities who don’t speak out, flood their comment sections. Pressure them. Do whatever the hell you can.

I might not have the most information and I might not have a lot to say other than pure anger. But I’m going to be pressuring everyone I know with platforms to say something.

FIA bans drivers from making ‘political statements’ without permission The FIA announces the end for freedom of speech.

It's never the same rules for everyone. It is blatant silencing of people speaking out. It is pushing down advocacy in hopes of money. Of hoping to appeal to sponsors that oppose human rights. It's never been about "preventing hate speech". The only protests I've seen have been peaceful. They've been of support and solidarity. They've been of the environment, human rights, kindness. This is a blatant attack disguised as necessary change. Why is it that after Seb left, this kind of ruling is set in place?

"Don’t post politics!" NO. Post them. Raise your voice. Exercise your right to question, to challenge, to speak up. Awareness is our weapon, our shield against the injustices we face and the oppression that threatens to come. Use your voice to shine a light, to resist, to remind those in power that we see, we hear, and we refuse to be silenced.

women around the world are dying and we’ve still not learned our lesson? That man who claims to be ‘protecting men’? He doesn’t want us. He doesn’t care about women and girls.

i dunno guys project 2025 pisses me off.

like genuinely none of the shit in there would benefit you if you aren’t a rich straight white man. then on top of that it’s 900 pages of ignoring the constitutional rights put in place two hunad years ago?

like if i genuinely had the financial situation america would no longer be my home, much less the south. but the thing is people aren’t paying attention to our choices right now. the winner doesn’t have to be trump it just has to be republican, and it’s not like the democrats are much better. COUGH COUGH BIDEN.

Biden who funds war crimes overseas in israel and sends artillery over to fuel the genocide in palestine. he’s does all that funding and doesn’t focus on his own country that is struggling itself with housing and inflation. i’ve never been big into politics except for the fact that i’ve dabbled in presidential stuff so if what i say is misinformation correct me and i’ll edit the post.

But it is way more important then ever to GO VOTE. PROTEST. BOYCOTT. SPEAK OUTTTT.

closed mouths don’t get fed and your voice is your weapon use that shit to its full potential.

The loudest voices won't dictate the way I speak

Surrounded by the herd of elephants, I won't be meek

They scream because they're hurt

I scream so I can be heard

At the end of the day, they communicate while I try to comprehend

I will speak with respect and will not act like them with condescend

I wish I could be there at the encampment protests at colleges. Students are being detained, graduations are being cancelled. People are risking their education and futures for Palestine. That is incredible and beautiful. The protests are peaceful and not at all hateful. The opposite in fact, the demonstrations are for love and peace and freedom. All of the things America is supposed to stand for. But students and professors are getting arrested. What happens to our constitutional right to peacefully protest when the US government doesn't want you to know the role they's played in this apartheid, oppression, and genocide for decades? Suddenly they come up with a scapegoat of antisemitism to silence us. Thousands of Jewish students are protesting alongside Palestinians. We need to learn from history to not repeat the same mistakes, Never Again means something.

If you are like me, and are unable to participate in these protests for whatever reasons (personally I do not live anywhere near one and cannot drive, as I am still in high school and living with my parents), continue to speak up. Post about it, educate your friends and families, use your voice. Our generation is blessed with a tool to speak out. We have something our past generations did not have, which is a way to spread information and advocate to people who may not even know about this. Use it to our advantage. Make the world acknowledge this.

Netanyahu has just passed the ground invasion of Rafah, the place Palestinians were told would be safe. It doesn't take a master's degree in history or any higher education to see that this is wrong. Please, do whatever you can to speak out. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤

never ever ever stop talking about palestine bo matter how small or how big of a post/message/anything you say/make/do. Always draw attention back to the causes, always draw attention back to the ways anybody can help, always draw attention back to the brands we need to boycott.

It's not just McDonalds, its not just Starbucks. there are so many more than that that we need to cut out of our lives who support Isn'tReal. Reblog with more brands to boycott, reblog with more brands to support (who help and donate to Palestine), reblog with charity and donation sites, do anything and everything that you can to help out the people in need. The starved, the killed, the tortured, the orphaned, the sickly, the silenced, and all those in between. They are human just like us. They feel like we do, they see the same world as us, and yet they are still being treated like animals and like they are lesser than. They are human and so are we.

Stay safe and make sure to support the greater cause here. Do not stay silent about the massacres. Do not stay silent about the zionists. Do not stay silent about these horrible people. Keep speaking out. Keep boycotting. Keep on going. Our cries for justice are not in vain. Things are slowly but surely changing, political people are realizing what they're doing and what's happening, we are getting to them. We are beginning to make changes. Keep on speaking up and speaking out. Never give up.

Show everybody what is REALLY happening in Gaza. We don't just need a temporary ceasefire. We need this all to end for good, once and for all. We need this to stop and never start back up again.

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE.

LIKING THE POST BY ITSELF DOES NOTHING. REBLOG THE POST AS WELL. 🫶🏻

I cannot forgive brutal killing of innocent children, I cannot forget the sight of kids looking for their mother's remnants in the rubble, I cannot take the silence of every single person who could help things get better for Palestinians lightly. I cannot erase this shame I feel for failing them as humans. If you haven't spoken up against merciless killings in Gaza, the endless violence in Kashmir and Manipur, and every other thing that went wrong with mankind, then REMEMBER, you were a part of it.
