If you're going to a protest, wear a mask, not makeup. Makeup designed to confuse AI can still get you recognized by law enforcement, and Juggalo makeup won't be helpful as Juggalo's are recognized as a gang by the FBI. Stay safe. Wear full face masks, hide piercings and tattoos or any other distinguishing features.

⠀Project 2025 — the plan that puts a twinkle in racists' eyes, smiles on misogynists' lips, and an extra pep in the fascists' goose-step — is coming one step closer to reality. The American Accountability Foundation (AAF), an advisor to Project 2025, has compiled a list of 20 general officers and senior admirals (including a disproportionately high number of female officers), urging Pete Hegseth (or anyone who becomes the next Secretary of Defense) to terminate them. Why? Because they made statements approving of diversity and equity in the military. To be clear, the AAF is not asking for the firing of officers who made racist comments, or derogatory remarks about women. They seem to be totally fine with the bigotry. Unbelievably, they are asking to end the distinguished careers of officers who have made statements opposing racism and misogyny in the armed forces. Hegseth has embraced Trump’s effort to end programs that promote diversity in the ranks, and fire those who reflect those values. Other Trump picks, like Kash Patel for FBI director, have suggested targeting those in government who are not aligned with Trump. Imagine being fired from your job because the boss doesn't like who you voted for. Even though Trump has repeatedly disavowed Project 2025, due to his status as a world famous pathological liar, no one is shocked that he is filling his administration with extremists who are advocates of the Project. But every decent person who is paying attention to Trump's cabinet picks is rightly alarmed and appalled.

It's important to recognise that what's happening in Palestine, what we are witnessing and what people are experiencing, are not isolated to Palestine.

You may hear people talk about the war in Sudan, the silent holocaust in Congo.

It's because these and so many more atrocities in the world are linked. They are preperuated by the same systems.

[Video Transcript:

So as a Palestinian when I say Free Palestine, I am not just talking about Palestine. I started nursing school in 2015 at Saint Louis, just a few miles away from where Michael Brown was killed by police.

Being in that city at that time, watching Black Lives Matter being born, stirred up a lot of feelings for me as a Palestinian.

I saw a country justifying a child being murdered by the state, in the street. I saw the people protesting that murder being vilified.

Standing there, protesting, watching a militarised police force with tear gas and rubber bullets matching towards me.

And I thought, this is that.

As a Palestinian to understand what is going on in Palestine is to understand the de facto aphartied that black Americans experience here in the states.

It's not an accident that when my grandfather came here, he was told to sit and the back of the bus. And it's not an accident that he marched with MLK.

It has been black and Palestinian solidarity, and it continues to be black and Palestinian solidarity.

Because yes, Free Palestine is about Palestine ceasefire now and the military occupation of the Palestinian people. It's also about resisting the global colonial hegemonic structure.

Because the shit happening there is happening here. If it isn't Palestinian women and babies being killed by bombs in Gaza, it's black women and babies being killed in American hospitals.

If its not Palestinian girls missing in the rubble. It is missing and murdered indigenous women here in the United States.

The rage I feel when I hear the names Michael Brown and Treyvon Martin is the same rage I feel when I hear the names Shireen Abu Akleh and Ahmad Manasra.

That's not to say that allyship is transactional, it is to say that the only thing we have is each other.

There's a reason that when people ask me about Free Palestine, I will point them to books on Black Lives matter.

When I say Free Palestine, yes I mean Free Palestine but I also mean Black Lives Matter, I also mean abolition now. I also mean reparations, I also mean land back.

This movement cannot lose steam, not just because there is currently a genocide being perpetuated against my people. And every minute we don't do something Palestinian lives are being lost.

But because this is a global struggle for justice. It does not start and end with Palestine, we will not be free until all of us are free.

The world is waking up, there has never been global solidarity for Palestine like this.

And we have them so scared. The violence is so disproportional because we are challenging a global power structure. Don't let the momentum die because this is about all of us.

Ceasefire now.

End the occupation.

But know what I mean when I say, Free Palestine.

”vote red to make America great again!”

Make America great again? Haha, more like take a fat shit on the graves of everyone who fought in the revolutionary war by letting Trump create a dictatorship and completely tear down everything they fought to stop.

Look, we all hate Joe Biden. We all wanna stop the genocide in Gaza. But Trump is gonna support Israel just as much as Biden is, so our choices are basically “genocide” or “dictatorship AND genocide”. And voting third party is just gonna increase Trump’s chances of winning, or else that would be my advice.

if you don’t want America to oppress every minority, women, people of color, LGBTQIA+, ANYTHING that’s not straight, cis, white, male, and christian, than clench your fist, grit your teeth, and VOTE BLUE.

TikTok is now limiting transgender creators discussing gender affirming surgery and hormones. Certain tags are being limited, left and alt leaning videos are being shadow banned or less pushed, and Meta now has multiple accounts on the platform. TikTok is no longer a place where you can speak freely.

Abbott elementary succeeded in where many black shows have failed. Not in ratings but in terms of trying to be pro black.

The reason for this is because Abbott elementary portrays black (and crucially black children) as mundane people. There are no gifted kids, no super talented athletes or artists, no teachers saving the under privileged kids. Every black person on that show is just extremely mundane.

Abbott doesn’t try to explain the black experience to a white audience unlike other black shows. It doesn’t try to say “hey look at how talented this black person is, isn’t he worthy of dignity?” It’s just mundane every day life for these kids and honestly this is the best way to humanise a minority group in a country built on anti-blackness
