once again i ask of you to please stop looking towards celebrities and influencers for political commentary and their takes on catastrophic and inhumane world events and to instead focus your attention on experts, journalists and world leaders

Reminder for anyone scared about KOSA

KOSA has a good chance of not passing! The Senate is only the first part, and even if The Senate doesn’t pass the bill, it’ll go to the house, which has even more opposition! Still, don’t refuse to call, as your call may help oppose the bill! I cannot call, but please, pass on this message along with anything else you reblog regarding World/US events, it may save our fandoms!

These 2 photos are alike yet so so very different from each other and only one of them holds actual power

Starmer has phoned Netanyahu urging a ceasefire calling it an ‘urgent and clear need’. He’s also told the Palestinian president that recognition of a Palestinian state was an undeniable right.

THE TWO PARTIES ARE NOT THE SAME

in case you didn't know already, chinese coast guard personnel have been harassing and displaying aggressive behavior towards filipino vessels--using knives, axes, pointed sticks, and tear gas--to intimidate and prevent philippine navy rubber boats from delivering necessities to filipino troops stationed in the shoal that is within the philippines' exclusive economic zone.

you can watch this video for more information

Call me insensitive, but I don’t understand why is everyone making such a big deal out of the billionaire’s submarine disappearing.

These guys spend way too much money on an unsafe rich tourist trap. And the news haven’t stopped talking about it all week.

But I barely heard about the ship carrying 700 migrants that sunk in the Mediterranean Sea. There is already at least 79 confirmed death, and 500 are still missing, but people want to know about the 4 billionaires.

It is so maddening to see that so many lives that could have been saved by Europeans authorities are considered less important than those idiots.

The historian in me is thinking about how tumblr blog posts might be used as first person sources/accounts for the political decline of the UK/Scottish Independence

There are going to be academic papers addressing the significance of the Star Trek meme and I hope I get to write one of them

Quick Heads-Up: The US House of Representatives will be voting on aid for Ukraine, possibly on Saturday! Now would be a good time to reach out to your local Representative to send in your support!

I'm reposting this from another website, but I found the information incredibly helpful with the process! (Original Post)

How to Contact Your Representative: 1. Click www.house.gov to search for your Representative by Zip Code (in the upper right-hand corner) 2. Write a brief message about how you feel about the proposed bill into the contact form and press send. Sample Correspondence: Dear Representative (name): I am aware of the House Appropriations Committee's initiative for critical supplemental funding for Ukraine. As your constituent, I urge you to support Ukraine. The supplemental initiative is not only about Ukraine defending its own country, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, it is also an investment in the international law-based security dynamic. Assisting Ukraine and curbing Russian aggression now will prevent prolonged American involvement in a future worldwide conflict. I look forward to your affirmative vote for the Ukraine supplemental bill. Thank you!
