THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

What Mohammed El Kurd said.

I'm Jewish, and unless you're talking about antisemitism *coming from white nationalists/supremacists*, I don't wanna hear it. The term has been so warped to silence and criminalize Palestinians and everyone with a heart who supports their right to exist that it barely has meaning anymore.

I've never felt more welcomed than in Palestinian spaces in part *because* of my position as an antizionist Jewish activist. And it is not OWED me, that generosity of spirit. Palestinians are if anything more understanding of and accepting of Jews than we often are of each other - and considering some Palestinians may never have met a Jewish person who didn't wish them harm, that's a damn miracle.

Swedish climate activist and Madleen humanitarian ship volunteer Greta Thunberg after being forcibly deported by Israel to Paris comments on Israeli forces giving out sandwiches to the crew on the Madleen saying “they probably posted a lot of PR stunt videos”.

She continues to say all eyes must be on the Israeli genocide, systematic starvation, blockade, and siege on Gaza.

Reporter: Why do you think so many countries’ governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?

Greta Thunberg: Because of racism, that’s the simple answer, I would say. Racism, and basically desperately trying to defend a deadly, destructive system that systematically maximizes short term economic profit and geopolitical power over the well being of humans and the planet. Right now, it is morally difficult to defend that �� it is impossible— but they’re desperately trying which is …. absurd is not the word, but there are no words to describe it.

The largest mass shooting in American history was a hate crime against gay people. Don’t ever forget that.

"there should be some kind of test you have to take before having kids" -> wrong, extremely dangerous and highkey eugenicist and racist "the youth should have safe and effective legal pathways at their disposal to make sure their human rights are constantly protected and upheld" -> based, centers the youth, gives minors more power to fight inequality and does not reinforce the idea that parents are immune to scrutiny from their kids

No one ever tells you that you can miss a cult years after you've left it.

And the worst part is, I think the reason I miss it is because I was so favored by it. I was the gifted poster child, everyone loved me, I was given status as a young child most wouldn't have even after years of dedication.

And it makes me feel evil. I'm missing the special treatment I got while others were (or still are to this day) being exploited.

I mean...I was being exploited, HEAVILY exploited, but I was reaping all the benefits of the cult's love.

Some days I wake up and just think about going back. It feels like I left my life behind. I had everything ahead of me with them. Nothing was uncertain. Now I have no clue what my future could be, and I want that safety net back.

I'm not allowed near any bibles anymore. I'm not allowed to look at any hymns or pictures of me from when I lived at the cult. I know it's for my safety, because of an incident that happened six months ago, where I (although leaving of my own free will) was technically kidnapped and brought back for a few days.

And I liked it.

When I was getting my associates degree I took a Mythology class that I loved. But one of the girls in class was absolutely off the rails conservative Christian which made things… interesting.

The professor started off the class by being like, “Mythology is stories associated with religion.”

This girl. Haaaated that. She was like, “No, Christianity is true. It’s not mythology.” Mythology was delivered in the same tone as someone trying to spit excrement from their mouth.

The professor raised her eyebrows and said laconically, “Yes, most people believe their religion is the real one, that’s part of it, and the stories surrounding religion are referred to as mythology.”

The girl stewed in a hateful sullen rage. I truly don’t understand why she didn���t drop the class but perhaps it was court mandated education. We all expected her to drop the class but she dug in like a tick and derailed discussions as often as she could.

On a different occasion the professor was drawing a comparison between social constructs like gender. The girl raised her hand. The class hushed to hear her announce, “It’s just a fact that women like domestic work and even though men are awful and stinky we just have to love them anyway. It’s biology, we’re just hardwired like that.”

I was sitting next to my friend a baby gay Jewish girl and our eyes met in mutual hilarity while the professor tried to pretend she hadn’t just been stricken with a stress induced migraine while she steered the class away from that landmine.

The next sticking point was a week later when the professor informed us that many mythologies have overlapping events like floods but these didn’t necessarily happen in such literal terms. It was a metaphorical way to process and understand the world.

This girls hand shot up. I watched the professor exercise extreme self control to keep her expression bland before calling on her.

“The world did flood. And Noah saved all the animals. Before the flood all the water was in a dome outside the earth and then the dome broke and the world flooded. All of it.”

The whole class stared at her as if struggling to comprehend the overlap of her acceptance that the world was round while also firmly believing that there had previously been a barrier that held up all of the earths water before god smashed it in a fit of pique.

She raged under the attention, glaring balefully at our astonished faces.

The professor stared at her blankly, unable to form words to such a bizarre belief. I wanted to ask clarifying questions- what they’d drunk before the dome broke, if there were rivers or lakes prior, or did the dome allow some rain in somehow, but then I really looked at her.

She had the eyes of a feral, cornered animal who regarded any deviation in worldview from her own to be a physical assault on her person. Like the professor, I said nothing, and after a wretchedly long pause class moved on.

The Madleen was captured this morning by Israeli forces. This is your reminder that it carried no weapons, flew under a British flag and sailed in international waters. The crew have been detained. This is your reminder for action. Do not let this go unanswered, do not abandon them. Say their names and make your voices heard.

No children are allowed in the Library of Congress.

It's not that kind of library.

In other words...

You are being lied to
