#us tax dollars

This is what Israel is doing to Gaza

This isn’t some post-apocalyptic movie scene.

This is what Israel is doing to Gaza.

And US tax dollars are paying for it.

This has nothing to do with fighting Hamas.

Israel wants to make Gaza unlivable and ultimately expel Palestinians.

As someone who's been a Team Starkid fan since the beginning, since 2009... do the young fans who only know hatchetfield know the old lore?? Do you know about crying in the choir room?? Do you know the door gag? Do you know Liam's got a phone call? Do you know about the iconic accidental sing along SanFran Con appearance? This isn't me being elitist or anything, I genuinely want to know! I just feel so very much older than all of you, all the time. Does anyone remember Tanya and her gay little blonde bob???

"This is more about your ego and pride than Palestine" No its about putting pressure on a party that is supporting genocide

It's about logic

Biden and the DNC would rather cause dissent and dissatisfaction within their own party rather than call for a ceasefire

They know they can get away with it because they're a better option than Trump, because they know they could murder babies in front of you and you'll still vote for them.

So why would they call for a ceasefire when they don't need to?

That's why putting the pressure on them, saying they won't get our vote or saying we are looking for other options is so important.

Because that's the only way they will change.

By saying "Vote Blue No Matter Who", you give him and the DNC permission to permit genocide despite the vast majority of public opinion. You say they can do whatever they want because you will vote for them anyways.

You tell them they don't need to do anything else. That in fact they can do whatever they want. You've shown them you are so terrified of your own government that you would rather lie down and let it walk all over you than put any pressure on them at all

They have a year to make a change. Biden could end this all tomorrow, but why would he when he has you doing his dirty work?

Things I love about this ad for the T in Boston:

The train only helps you avoid “traffic” related torment. Who’s to say what other kinds of torments you may or may not experience.

Just Take The Train. Just Take It. Don’t Worry About It. Just Take The Train. Take It.

I just think that if you pay a subscription for a service it should be illegal to then have pop-ups asking you to pay for more stuff. I want to kill intuit with hammers

US friends - now is an important time to apply pressure to our reps in congress and demand an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian aid entry into Gaza. This website has scripts and templates that make it especially easy. More info under the cut.

Over 2 million Palestinian people trapped in Gaza are living through genocide in real time as Israel bombs, starves, and displaces them. From Gaza to Jenin, we've witnessed Israel's massacres of Palestinians again and again. We've watched U.S. politicians and media ignore, minimize, and sometimes even sanction Israel's killings, while dehumanizing Palestinian people.

Stop the killing! Israel's massacres of Palestinian people are funded into existence by our U.S. tax dollars, with a blank check for $3.8+ billion to the Israeli military every year.

Your solidarity is vital. Call out the U.S. government's complicity. Demand an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian aid entry into Gaza. Urge your representatives to support the Ceasefire Now resolution led by Reps. Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib.

idc if its not true my only conspiracy theory is George made Rhaenyra’s tax policy a plot point that contributed to a huge event like the dragons being killed so people would stop making fun of him for the Aragorn comment

and he was SO real for that. i’m a high school history teacher so i gotta recognize george rr martin’s brave brave role being a frontline soldier in the war on “what’s aragorn’s tax policy” because turns out tax policy is actually that important for real. if you raise taxes marginally too high at the wrong time the people will rise up and burn their own city to the ground before they pay thirty cents extra for a stamp

Just for the record, there's a big post going around claiming that 20 million votes weren't counted in the election, and that has been debunked multiple times, and had zero evidence or sources to begin with other than someone on twitter claiming it out of thin air.

Kamala Harris has already publicly conceded her run.

Joe Biden just gave his own speech today at the White House, announcing that Trump won the election.

"Denying the results of the election (blue version, so it's Good This TIme)" is not something that is going to help anyone, least of all the people who are getting their hopes up that things can change, only to sink to even deeper despair come January when the handover happens.

Trump won. This is not something that can be magically "fixed" by "finding 20 million votes".

Trump won, and we need to accept, and absorb that reality to move forward.

You should have been preparing for this possibility as soon as Trump announced he was running again.

He had a 50-50 chance of becoming President, and now we are indeed in this "worst timeline" of a second Trump Presidency.

You need to stop denying this fact, work on accepting it, and make your plans to build a support network before things hit the fan.

Do not wait for January 6th, 2025 to accept the fact that Trump won the election.

Do not spend the next two months in denial.

If you think the world is going to go up in literal hellfire or nuclear apocalypse if Trump becomes President, then start prepping for that scenario now if you genuinely believe it:

Learn to grow your own food.

Learn to forage wild food safely.

Learn to live off the grid.

Learn to collect your own water.

Learn first aid.

Get a firearm license and learn how to use it properly.

If you truly believe the world is going to end and the apocalypse is gonna happen to America, then act like it and prep for it.

Otherwise, stop spreading fearmongering, stop doom posting, remember that America did not dissolve into a fallout-style lawless wasteland the last time Trump was President, take a deep breath, and start telling yourself the world is not going to end.

Join local neighborhood Facebook groups and start engaging with your neighbors and local community.

Start making friends and connections at the local level.

Join local political initiatives.

Join or start a community garden.

Don't trap yourself in denial, hoping the some miracle will happen and magically make it so Harris actually won the election.

The world is not going to end.

Do something that gets you out there and actively building a better future, one small step at a time.

My GI Track is messed up and I'm currently in the ER for it

Anytime I replay DAI and I get to that first conversation with Vivienne back at Haven, I take a long inhale Everytime she asks what I think about doing with the mages.

Like I know my Inky has not thought about this too much. She just knows her clan, but I think about it constantly and no answer I am offered is good enough to assuage my long rant that I yell at the computer for like 8 straight minutes before I choose the Mages Should Be Free line and get the inevitable Vivienne Greatly Disapproves

I love Vivienne a lot, I do, even with the differing political views, but Jesus Christ girlie pop never ask me that question again because I will go off Every Single Time
