it actually makes me sick to see people share the BDS boycott list but continue to support companies on the list lmao
one of my mutuals just made 3 tweets in a row about getting mcdonalds when a month ago they were making a thread of helpful information, posting the bds list, and tweeting the watermelon emoji
like do you actually give a fuck about whats happening or are you only virtue signaling for retweets? this shit is so fucking mind numbing like im so pissed off and i know im directing my anger at something small retrospectively but how are you going to be a hypocrite in this situation how are you going to pretend to care how are you going to ignore the simple things we’ve been asked to do i want to just scream
when the bare minimum is not supporting corrupt brands, and self proclaimed leftists can’t even do that, how is anything going to change. am i going to be angry for the rest of my life

If you’re in the DC area, please make your voice heard. The more people, the louder it will be. There’s been 9 mass shootings in 2 days.

How we've trained our kids - to not protest peacefully
My son (18) asked me what I thought about the video of protestors barricading themselves in a building and then hitting a cop on the head with a large water jug.
I told him that was not a peaceful protest and that what I was taught when I first became an activist is to never resist arrest. Then I told him what my dad told me. Don't ever hang out with people who throw rocks at men with guns. Throwing rocks at men with guns isn't a smart thing to do.
My son stared at me.
Then he said - you know my entire life I've been taught to rush at men with guns and throw things at them and hit them and do whatever you need to do to get the gun away from them. And if you die doing this - at least you may save some of your classmates and friends in the process and die a hero.
WTF!!!!!
This is what he has been taught in every active shooter drill , which is twice a year for the entire time he's been in school. All because instead of keeping guns away from nut cases, we've taught kindergartners and up that if you can't hide from a man with a gun you should rush the gunman and hit them with whatever you have handy.
Cops - in case you were not aware - are men with guns. A man with a gun is a man with a gun, even if they are cops. If they are threatening you - this is what they have been taught to do. And it's the cops who taught them to do this!!!!
These protestors are doing EXACTLY what we've taught young people to do for decades now. If someone with a gun approaches, barricade the door and if they try to enter - hurl things at them - just - mob them as a group and get the gun away from them.
This is insane. This is what conservatives have turned our country into. Every single effing conservative who is complaining about the protests, if you didn't want young people to act this way - you should not have insisted we teach them this heroic fantasies about rushing gunmen like it's some sort of action movie. It would have been safer for everyone - if we just regulated guns!!!!!
For everyone else, be aware, our kids will respond instinctively to a man with a gun - even a cop - exactly as they've been trained to.

I think the reason they don’t ban guns in the USA is because they know that people are too scared to protest enmass as big as we all could is because of the fear of a mass shooting.
Like you already have to worry about cops tear gassing you. And THEN you have to worry about nut jobs who disagree with the movement being willing to kill everyone there.

I’m tired of war! It’s everywhere, Everyday, War lurks like A hulking bird, Beating its wings, Beak like a blade Ready to tear The tender flesh Of the innocent.   It makes me sick. The bodies turned To unrecognizable  Things, once loved As friends, family, Beloved and missing, Awaiting burial While bullets hail, Bombs rain down, and Tear what’s left Asunder. Why is the bird Still here? Why Don’t we smite That terrifying beast? Mighty thing that  Defies us all, Makes us like The mauling, hungry Children of beasts. What will the future Say of us When it all Finally falls silent? Monster. War is a monster, And the sowers Of war, The silent bystanders, Are the bastards  Of wretched bloodshed.

“The inane belief that the world can be neatly divided into oppressors and the oppressed drives a great deal of our political and cultural dialogue today, but it does not reflect the messy reality of the world we actually inhabit.”
