#fuck off fascists

Tories out in Britain, Le Pen crushed in France.

Nice to feel positive about election results for a change.

the irony of leftists voting against biden to "own the libs" after making fun of conservatives for the same thing & end up voting against their own interests. i'm fucking tired & angry about having to "vitriol against the lesser of two evils" but trump will literally make everything worse. inflation ian't what's happening right now it's corporate greed. i loathe that my tax dollars is going towards funding a genocide but do you think voting for trump or at least making it so he gets back into office is going to make everything better? yes, our system is garbage but we do have some meager crumbs of good things that will be stripped away. take Project 2025 seriously. don't vote against your own interests to "own the libs." my grandparents being born in the late 1930s & early 1940s being more progressive than you is frankly fucking embarrassing & while the bar is in hell they look like heroes compared to how many people are mindlessly either involved with thus cult or keeping it on place because "liberals are the worst" fuck outta here that solves nothing you sanctimonious jerks.

This is where I first heard about it, my metaphorical hat goes off to Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke and the many politicians who stand with her on this

(The Betoota Advocate, an Australian satirical news source)

Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke, the youngest MP in Aotearoa, starts a haka to protest the first vote on a bill reinterpreting the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi

"man, every trans woman i meet has a shitty bed and small apartment and no money let's make fun of them for that, let's get self congratulatory assfaces in the reblogs saying they'll buy her a blanket, let's all point and laugh at the poor girl who is systemically discriminated against and therefore more likely to end up poor, unemployed, and homeless, isn't that so funny?????"

you guys talk about our poverty the way conservatives talk about iq

Part of the reason that Republicans are so desperately acting like they will never lose again is because they are deeply terrified that this is their last real chance to win. The big orange dipshit came in and gutted the party of everyone who wasn't a loyalist, which left it full of nasty little gremlins who have gaping voids where charisma and human decency is supposed to go.

They still hold a lot of power, but if we stop them this year the next presidential election may not be the Most Important One Of Your Life™, that's not a guarantee or anything, but if they don't win here and now their future looks grim, this dipshit is the only guy they have left and he's extremely diminished and has his brains leaking out of his ears at this point. We can beat him into the ground.

So that's what we're gonna fucking do. We're gonna break these fucking fash. They will crash upon us and we're gonna break their fucking necks. When they come for us they will lose because they're fucking losers and we have each other's backs which is something they fundamentally are incapable of comprehending.

Context: Israel “allowed” aid in the forms of flour bags to be airdropped into Gaza, waited for hundreds to congregate, and then opened fire into the crowd of desperate, starving Palestinians. 150 Palestinians were killed. Hundreds more wounded. This is being called “The Flourbag Massacre”.

hilarious that with each new day that passes a new bit of dirt from JD Vance's past gets discovered and plastered over the internet...it's almost as if this is why presidential campaigns have always announced their running mates well before the convention...so that if glaring issues with a candidate came to light quickly there would be time to replace them on the ticket before they were officially locked in...it's almost as if certain things in political campaigns were done for a reason, donald...because the very same critical failures had happened before...but no i'm sure you and your guys attempt to recreate a fantasy version of history while ignoring all the reasons that history was a disaster will work this time...because you are built different and the 10000th time trying fascism will work like a charm...

So long as the political and economic system remains intact, voter enfranchisement, though perhaps resisted by overt white supremacists, is still welcomed so long as nothing about the overall political arrangement fundamentally changes. The facade of political equality can occur under violent occupation, but liberation cannot be found in the occupier’s ballot box. In the context of settler colonialism voting is the “civic duty” of maintaining our own oppression. It is intrinsically bound to a strategy of extinguishing our cultural identities and autonomy.

[...]

Since we cannot expect those selected to rule in this system to make decisions that benefit our lands and peoples, we have to do it ourselves. Direct action, or the unmediated expression of individual or collective desire, has always been the most effective means by which we change the conditions of our communities. What do we get out of voting that we cannot directly provide for ourselves and our people? What ways can we organize and make decisions that are in harmony with our diverse lifeways? What ways can the immense amount of material resources and energy focused on persuading people to vote be redirected into services and support that we actually need? What ways can we direct our energy, individually and collectively, into efforts that have immediate impact in our lives and the lives of those around us? This is not only a moral but a practical position and so we embrace our contradictions. We’re not rallying for a perfect prescription for “decolonization” or a multitude of Indigenous Nationalisms, but for a great undoing of the settler colonial project that comprises the United States of America so that we may restore healthy and just relations with Mother Earth and all her beings. Our tendency is towards autonomous anti-colonial struggles that intervene and attack the critical infrastructure that the U.S. and its institutions rest on. Interestingly enough, these are the areas of our homelands under greatest threat by resource colonialism. This is where the system is most prone to rupture, it’s the fragility of colonial power. Our enemies are only as powerful as the infrastructure that sustains them. The brutal result of forced assimilation is that we know our enemies better than they know themselves. What strategies and actions can we devise to make it impossible for this system to govern on stolen land? We aren’t advocating for a state-based solution, redwashed European politic, or some other colonial fantasy of “utopia.” In our rejection of the abstraction of settler colonialism, we don’t aim to seize colonial state power but to abolish it. We seek nothing but total liberation.

The Antisemitic Awareness Act has passed in the US House of Representatives

This bill specifically cites the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which is as such:

Several parts of this specifically stick out, namely comparisons of the actions of the state of Israel to the actions of the Nazis/Holocaust, and the labelling of the state of Israel as a racist endeavor, as well as the idea that some citizens hold more concern for Israel than their own countries. If this passes the Senate, Joe Biden WILL sign it, and retroactively all of the police brutality inflicted across campuses in the country and every one of us that has spoken out will be labelled criminals as Rafah fucking burns to the ground.

I don't know what to do with this information, I don't know if I'm worrying too much, I hope somehow someone else does know more about this and how we can possibly hope to overcome this, so I'm sharing this, as our others, to hope we can figure this out and how to move forward.

Hey, Ludinus? Go fuck yourself. FCG is dead — so many people are dead, but let's focus for a second on something that happened very recently: FCG is dead — not because he died clinging to the Changebringer or the illusion of the Gods, but because he wanted to choose the course of his own (very alive) life. Fuck you.

the most vile anti science people in my life are making it very clear to me that God wanted to test me by putting all the people i can tolerate halfway across the planet

i wish it were as easy as just cutting these people off, who think that trans healthcare for kids is just genital mutilation and inhumane, and who sometimes also think that there were never as many autistic people as there are now and that something in the vaccines or medicines is causing these autistic kids to pop up all of a sudden

but unfortunately i live with the second one. yesssss everyone give it up for my mommmm
