in light of Trump's inauguration speech declaring multiple national emergencies that require him to take god-knows-what executive actions immediately, I'd like to remember this chapter of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder:

[sootaitil]

he is literally signing away years of progress, soon enough the civil rights acts will probably be gone too

Two days in. TWO DAYS

Nazi salutes

Started mass deportations (and ICE raids in major cities)

Has sent the national guard to the Mexico border

Wants to rename the fucking Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America

Is targeting the cartels (cause that's gonna end well)

Shut down the CBP One app - which the Biden-Harris administration started to start process for immigrants to enter legally

Wants to get rid of "birthright citizenship" which GOES AGANIST the 14the amendment of the constitution. 18 states have pushed back against him.

Withdrew us from the Paris Climate Agreement.

Withdrew us from the World Health Organization

The government is only recognizing two sexes

Revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity order of 1965

He required a full-time return to in-office work for federal employees and ordered a hiring freeze on government positions.

The hiring freeze does not apply to the military or "immigration enforcement, national security, or public safety."

Pardoned the domestic terrorists who stormed the capitol on Jan 6.

Trump also rescinded a 2022 Biden order to lower the cost of prescription drugs.

And there's probably so much more that I'm leaving out or not seeing; because I can't fucking keep up.

He also owns the house and the senate….

musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

never mind the fact that claiming all palestinian fundraisers are scams is like an insanely racist thing to do, i'm filled w so much resentment that these people genuinely refuse to admit the utter harm that resulted directly from propagating this rhetoric. it's insane how many asks i get on a daily basis of people questioning the validity of the palestinians who're hard at work verifying these fundraisers so whole families can get the chance to live. not that the people who're so quick to question it actually wanted to help to begin with, but is this the kind of environment we want to normalize on this website. baselessly attacking people who're being firsthand affected by a genocide . is this really the hill we want to die on. it's actually shameful

for the past several months, palestinian men have shown a great amount courage and bravery in the face of danger.

they have dug people and children out of rubble, sometimes alive and sometimes dead. they have travelled miles and miles to provide food and water for their family.

they have come online pleading with everyone to help them. many travel long distances for internet connection. they have been on the frontlines for months, providing for their family, documenting the genocide, helping people and in many instances, dying.

in return, they have been dehumanised, their lives are not counted as 'precious' because they are men. people have been indifferent to their suffering and death. they have been called scammers, all while they face the dangers of airstrikes, food and water scarcity, and disease. they have been dehumanised to such an extent that people refuse to help their fundraisers.

i urge you all to share the linked posts and donate what you can spare to those who are suffering. we owe it to them, for we never talk about their suffering.

Your blog is a threat to a scam ring, and they are now actively trying to slander you to reduce your influence in exposing them.

Thousands of naked women were dancing upon my grave, there was a deafening howling, and the more they stumped upon the mucky ground, blood began oozing from their feet covering the soil resembling the barrel of grapes, the women having bronze, silver, and gold vases dipping into soil that now look like red wine.

it really hurts me to see so many gazans asking us for help, though that's through no fault of their own. they've been forced to use a social media site that they're probably not familiar with (because tumblr has kind of faded out of popular consciousness), to interact with us in a second language, to distinguish themselves from the scammers who are taking advantage of genocide, and to ask strangers for help. i don't think there are any cultures where it's easy to ask for help like this, but i'm intimately familiar with how humiliating it can be in arab culture. please be kind, gracious and helpful to the gazans in your inbox. this is a desperate time for them, and in addition to the physical danger inflicted by "israel", the prices of basic resources in gaza are extremely high due to scarcity, and those that manage to escape to egypt are financially exploited by landlords there and have an extremely difficult time finding work due to their unofficial status as refugees. these families will continue to need our help and i hope we can all continue to provide it to the best of our ability.
