What's new(ish) in the settler-colonial state of the US is that a series of bills have been passed in the House (the Baby Senate as I like to say) and are on their way to the Senate that make it harder to voice support for Palestinians while also making sure your direct taxes aid the genocide in Gaza.

These bills affirm the US's stance on the settler-colonial Zionist Entity and the implicit ties that the government has with Israel and really — just goes to show you how Israel is just one big base for American Imperialism.

Anyways, there's still time to call your senate and tell them that you don't want these bills that only further spiral the US into fascism so even if you think it might not do much — it's important that we document our dissent in official sources. And while you're at it — call your congressperson and tell them that if they voted for this you're not voting for them next election. If they voted against the bills, still call your congresspeople and tell them you support their decision to vote against these bills.

Here are the bills:

📍Resolution: HR 6126

Resolution Name: Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act Description: Gives $14.3 Billion To Israel From The IRS (Taxes You Pay). Like straight up. Just takes it from an IRS project, which used our tax dollars to begin with, to give to Israel "defense." Link to check summary: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr6126

📍Resolution: HR 798

Resolution Name: "Condemning the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education, which may lead to the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff." Description: Will Penalize Students On American College Campuses For Supporting Palestine. This includes "Free Palestine" Protests as according to Rep Owens who introduced the bill (Click). Link to check who voted: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/118-2023/h578

📍Resolution: HR 3266

Resolution Name: "Tolerance in Palestinian Education Act" Description: They will be examining Palestinian education materials to see if it promotes "hate" or "violence" (aka are they teaching their children to become murderers??). Will inevitably require Revision Of Text Books In Palestinian Schools To Portray The Occupation In A Positive Light. Link to summary: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr3266

📍Resolution: HR 340

Resolution Name: "The Hamas International Financing Prevent Action" Description: Claims to stop financial support for "terrorist" organizations but considering that Gaza's government is run by Hamas, then this would mean Gaza will receive absolutely no aid and donating to people in Gaza could get you in legal trouble. Link to summary: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr340

There's a button for most of these bills that allows you to contact your representative directly. Please do take the time to contact them — while many of this isn't especially new to Palestinians, the difference is now that we have a larger power in numbers than we did in the past. Please make sure to advocate for you Palestinian comrades in the US whenever possible! Help us Free Palestine one step at a time!

Part 6: Pone Ocean 🦋 (3/3)

- Even though none of DIO’s other sons are unicorns, they all possess somewhat supernatural abilities (which turned more magical once Mantra found them)

- Sky Fly can communicate with bugs, and later on realized he could control them

- Rhapsody, originally a freeloader who would just daydream and stay in his own fantasy world, can now bring those fantasies to life

- Down Under would often find things buried underground- mementos, artifacts, even just things that people lost, which later became the power to dig up actual memories. Mantra found potential in this power especially and believed it would be the key to bringing back DIO (he would have to find another way to do that after D.U. defected)

- The thing with Mantra becoming an alicorn and DIO’s horn is that it’s so much magic, continuously becoming more and more powerful, that it becomes harder and harder to control as well (think to the Tirek episodes when the princesses had to give Twi their magic). There’s not really a certain place Mantra had to reach to “ascend” like in canon, he was mostly stalling till he grew powerful enough to do what he needed to do

- …which would be his downfall. with great power comes great possibility of erasing yourself from the universe apparently

Part 6: Pone Ocean 🦋 (2/3)

- Moon Mantra does magic through chants and spoken spells mostly

- also i made him a psychologist instead of a priest since religion isn’t rlly a thing in the mlpverse, he’s very philosophical and psychoanalyzes a lot

- DIO’s original plan was to have someone rule by his side (cause yknow, you gotta have a right hand man), and that pony happened to be Mantra. Unfortunately since he was a pegasus they had to come up with some other way to make him into an alicorn instead of vampirification

- so then after DIO’s defeat, Mantra’s main goal is to become an alicorn first, then find a way to bring him back

Part 6: Pone Ocean 🦋 (1/3)

Part 6: Pone Ocean 🦋 (1/3)

- takes place in Foalrida, a few years before The Last Problem

- all prisoners in Green Dolphin are stripped of magical abilities via the blue wristbands- unicorns can’t use magic, pegasi can’t fly, changelings can’t transform etc, but Hamon is somehow the exception

- recently in the prison, creatures other than ponies have been seen with cutie marks… it’s a real mystery 🤔

(3/3) unita speciale and ending hijinks

- i wish i didn’t have to split this part into 3 there’s too many gd freakshows in golden wind (also lots of dragons this part i just realized)

- once again, the arrow is way more unpredictable here than in canon, it’s effects could range from slightly improved physical abilities to creating a weird shadow creature to making someone an alicorn

- Chariot stabbed himself with the arrow before dying, but he was able to possess the magic turtle shell before disappearing, which he just lives in after that. the stabbing allowed his strong determination to keep the arrow away from Devil Darner manifest into a physical form, Requiem

- speaking of Devil the reason he wants the arrow in the first place is cause he sees anyone else having it as a threat, instead of whatever happened in canon

- Requiem was based on the pony of shadows kinda, it’s more of an apparition than anything. Devil (who has also ended up as a kind of phantom similar to ghosty Sombra) gets rid of him in a weird spirit battle kinda thing and reverts all the soul swaps. Devil stays in this form though, which is how Glory is able to throw him out of space-time in the first place

- (the whole phantom thing is supposed to be like when he was just a stand and possessing people and stuff) the diavolo fight and the requiem stuff still confuses me honestly lmfao

big bad and the assassination team! (2/3)

- Risotto is based off the gift givers in the Best Gift Ever special

- Devil Darner does not have time powers, he’s just really really good at sneak attacks and throwing opponents off

- Devil communicates and gives orders to his underlings via magic scrolls (a la Celestia)

- i was gonna make a joke about how phones haven’t been invented yet so Dialtone is literally just making weird noises and talking to objects, but then i looked it up and turns out there ARE phones in equestria so. that’s out the window

- anyways some more bad italy puns: Shiredinia, Reinezia (or Reinice), Coatpri, Foalrence, Maneila, Marelan

Part 5: Pinto Aureo/Golden Wing 🐞 (1/3)

- might have stolen @/toytle’s fugo and trish/diavolo concepts my bad

- this part takes place a little bit after twilight would become ruler

- Morning Glory already knows how to heal cause of hamon (he doesn’t actually know it’s hamon though)

- poor Glory got thrown out after turning gold cause his parents didn’t recognize him at all :(

- i made Guido flightless because i liked his design too much to make him not a griffin, but at the same time i liked the idea of Divebomb being the team’s sole eye in the sky. plus it’s a lot easier to shoot arrows with digits than hooves

- not a whole lot else to say atm, stay tuned for more
