genuine piece of advice for punks, activists, and everyone else honestly: any form of leftist infighting is a waste of your time.

focus on the task at hand: improving living and quality of life conditions for your community. unionize. donate to food banks. cooperate with organizations like food not bombs to distribute free hot meals. volunteer at libraries. participate in homeless outreach. give people access to resources in your community. organize and participate in protests. create organizations, groups, and gathering spots for queer folk in your area who need safe places to go and find community.

help people find access to HRT, surgery and other gender affirming care. carry, hand out, and administer narcan (naloxone). help recovering people get to rehabilitation, methadone clinics and so on. help addicted people practice harm reduction and use safely. help give out menstrual kits to homeless and low income people who have periods. help people get into housing programs. help disabled people apply for disability (SSI and SSDI) and disability lawyers. help disabled people find work or income resources that are accessible to them. donate blood and/or plasma if you can. care for people with HIV and AIDS.

help people apply for food stamps, medicaid, bill and rent assistance. help disabled people find case managers and caregivers. call local lawmakers to voice your opinions on current events. advocate for disadvantaged queers in your area. establish and participate in mutual aid funds. spread awareness and advocate online. write about and share your experiences with disadvantages, abuse and other problems you've faced in life for who you are. gather and organize with people with shared experiences. start or volunteer at a community garden. deliver meals to the elderly. volunteer at a homeless shelter.

organize fundraisers for, spread awareness of, and donate to:

i don't care if someone's activism looks different from yours: there are a TON of ways to improve and make change in your and the global community. doing ONE of these is enough, finding a singular way to improve your community is a better use of your time than arguing. everyone can find ways to be good to each other.

rehashing the same talking points, reading between the lines, accusing someone of identifying with politics they've never advocated for, and making baseless accusations isn't helping. it's not fixing anything. mobilize. advocate. stand up for your community and its rights. take action. now. i mean it. we must.

help each other.

Some health officials say mpox cases in Congo appear to be “stabilizing” — a possible sign that the main epidemic for which the World Health Organization made a global emergency declaration in August might be on the decline. In recent weeks, Congo has reported about 200 to 300 lab-confirmed mpox cases every week, according to WHO. That’s down from nearly 400 cases a week in July. The decline is also apparent in Kamituga, the mining city in the eastern part of Congo where the new, more infectious variant of mpox first emerged. But the U.N. health agency acknowledged Friday that only 40% to 50% of suspected infections in Congo were being tested — and that the virus is continuing to spread in some parts of the country and elsewhere, including Uganda. While doctors are encouraged by the drop in infections in some parts of Congo, it’s still not clear what kinds of physical contact is driving the outbreak. Health experts are also frustrated by the low number of vaccine doses the central African nation has received — 265,000 — and say that delivering the vaccine to where it’s needed in the sprawling country is proving difficult. WHO estimates 50,000 people have been immunized in Congo, which has a population of 110 million.

Not to do a 'hot take' but the idea that the Soviet Union was uniquely awful in the 20th century just doesn't really make sense.

Important for reading comprehension: the Soviet Union was an imperialist power that did stamp down on mass movements and did kill millions of people, overthrow peacefully elected regimes, and repressed much of its population. This post is about how it is characterized as uniquely evil and awful and terrible

The important point is that so many other nations in the 20th century did terrible shit on the order of the atrocities committed by and in the Soviet Union. For example, Britain perpetuated the Bengal Famine (0.8-3.8 million deaths), the US overthrew peacefully elected governments across Latin America (eg Peru), Africa (eg Congo), and Asia (eg Iran), the Belgians committed atrocities in the Congo and instigated genocide and instability in the region (eg Rwanda/Burundi genocides), etc etc etc. The constant need to disavow the Soviet Union is just anticommunism and is pro-capitalist and is not well informed by history. It is a relic of the Cold War.

You literally cannot say a single positive thing about what people in the Soviet Union did, or even what the Communist Party did, without someone chiming in to say "well actually, it was evil, remember?" So is the US, so is the UK, etc. etc. But we (generally) don't feel a need to add that same kind of disclaimer if a US citizen did something good in the 20th century or if the French government did a good thing after WWII.

Raising 10k over a few months vs raising 21k for a billboard in a matter of hours, and having donaters be upset the extra is going to some vague charity makes yall sound worst

At this point in time, Our Flag For Palestine has raised $17,373 for Care for Gaza. $10,925 was in one single fundraiser in a day - I don't have time stamps for how quickly in that day it was raised. That's not including people who have directly donated to other organizations outside of a fan-based charity.

$10,000 of a separate fundraiser is going to ads, the overflow of which ($11,000) is being donated to charities (and the organizers have been very up front in that all moving of money will be recorded and publicly available). From what I understand, many people continued donating to the pool after it hit 10k AFTER it was announced the extra would be donated. Adults are allowed to spend their money however they want, and just because you see someone raise money for one cause, doesn't mean they aren't donating somewhere else.

There's also the fact that the ad campaign has a single donation pool, whereas money for Palestine and other critical organizations supporting them, Sudan, Congo, etc, are spread out in many different areas. So you're seeing a very direct, concentrated effort, as opposed to many different efforts.

No one I've heard of is upset that the extra money is going to charity? Everyone I've seen commenting is applauding @renewasacrew for being transparent about money and making sure the extra goes to a good cause.

I hope this helps, happy to explain further!
