Okay, in light of the "vote blue or don't vote blue" argument I'm seeing around here, I'm gonna tell you all a story.
I'm Australian and I voted for the Labour Party in the last election. For context, the Labour Party is essentially the left democrat party for Australia, while the Liberal Party is the ring wing republican one. So, I did what you'd all call "voting blue" in the USA, but in Australia. Anthony Albanese is the leader of Labour Left, a faction within the Labour Party to push it towards more leftist policies and ideals. He promised to protect minorities and said he would advocate for a free Palestine. We all voted for him believing it would help and so far, it sounds good doesn't it?
Well, here we are and Anthony Albanese has so far been pushing against pro Palestine protests, trying to implement anti protest legislation and made things actively harder for minorities in Australia. He's done nothing that he promised and of course acted almost as bad as the Liberals when they were in just before. In fact, it's arguably worse since the Labour Party has been attacking the right to protest over the last several months. They haven't done shit for minorities and if argue the ALP has actively made our lives harder.
Is voting important or not important? I don't know if u can answer that, but I can say this; politicians shouldn't be trusted to carry out promises when they're only there for self interest, regardless of what label they use to advertise that self interest. You shouldn't depend on them for change and sit around waiting for that change to come from these people. And, most importantly? There is no difference between those who voted and those who didn't when the most left leaning candidate we had has now just become legally complicit in the ICJ for genocide. There is no lesser evil when even one of us is harmed, and there is no "well at least it's not as bad" when that means sacrificing each other for the sake of a few benefits, so we have to band together and fight the whole damn system. It doesn't matter who did what, because at the end of the day the power is to the people, not the politicians who clearly can't be trusted no matter if you voted for "the right one", or chose not to vote at all. So, sure, vote. But don't expect that to change the world. You change the world through getting up with your fellow community and making a stand through your own physical actions against he system, not waiting for a politician to change anything when it's their job to lie and cheat. Reliance on the system is how we all come to lose and division is how we're silenced.
We're in this together and we need to remember what's important; each other and the power WE hold when we work together and fight against the entire system itself, not some representative in a suit.

Before I speak and describe a part of my story,❤️🇵🇸
Your support with one dollar or by sharing the link can save an entire family from death.🕊️
"To donate, click here."
"To donate, click here."
"To donate, click here."
Hello everyone,
Welcome, friends who cherish life and spread hope and support to others.
I'm Mohammed, a 30-year-old husband and proud father. My daughter, Mona, just celebrated her fifth birthday on July 15, 2024. I named her after my strong mother, who raised and educated my four siblings and me despite losing our father, our backbone, to cancer during our childhood.
Our home was destroyed after escaping death and evacuating to the areas designated by the army, living under a piece of cloth (a tent).
What is a tent ?⛺️
Burning inside while sitting within it, feeling it squeeze your breath out, with no air or any means of cooling—it's like being in a suffocating agricultural incubator for hours during the day. The tent is living on the ground with nothing around you but fabric, coexisting with insects on the ground, as you are all its guests now.
I also volunteer to help thousands of displaced people with food and support, despite the risks involved. Compassion and assistance are vital for creating life and saving innocent lives with dignity.
After 9 months of hardship in tents, extreme heat, and contaminated water, my family—including my mother, sisters, their children, my wife, and daughter—are suffering from health issues. Recently, my sister was diagnosed with hepatitis, and my daughter has sebaceous cysts near her eyes.
Your assistance is capable of saving the lives of an entire family.
We know the challenges ahead are immense, but we believe in the strength of human solidarity. With your support, we are confident we can overcome these trials.
Please donate here

Thank you, dear friends and supporters, for your love and hope.

I lost our only source of livelihood when the war destroyed my technology startup, which I had built with dedication and hard work. My children, Sama and Louaa, were deprived of an education after their schools were destroyed, severely threatening their future. Under these harsh circumstances, my wife gave birth to our third child, Youssef, in the midst of the war, which increased the state of hopelessness and despair in which we were living.
This is why we have launched this GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to evacuate our family to a safe area. We need your support and assistance to achieve this goal and save our family from this perilous situation. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in our lives. Thank you for your support and concern.♥️

I left my YouTube on autoplay while I've been working and somehow ended up listening to a true crime thing and I would be absolutely fucked in a police interrogation.
"Repetition and forgetfulness during storytelling are signs of guilt," the detective says with certainty.
Worstie, you can ask me the same question multiple times in a row, and I will think of new details to tell you each time while simultaneously forgetting everything else I previously told you. That doesn't mean I murdered Karen, it just means I've got mental illness and ADHD.
