Multiple punk symbols and sayings have been added to the FBI’s domestic terrorism guide

Things included are

The symbol for anarchy

ACAB and 1312

The three arrows pointing down in a circle

Eat the rich

Those are a few but it also mentions anything anti-fascist and anti capitalist

So if you live in the US please be careful

oh my godddddd “the new progress pride flag is uglyyyyy omg it’s so cluttered and bad we should get rid of it”

My entire country chose this bullshit on purpose

The inclusive pride flag is fine

[marionmabelle]

the words “women” and “female” being on a list of flagged words to censor research projects that might violate trump’s anti-DEI policies is absolutely insane. we literally make up half of the population.

"All inclusive" as it operates today isn't a concept born from the women's movement, civil rights movement, or gay rights movement—it's origins are in the MRA (men's rights activism) "egalitarianism" push in the early 2000s, which was an anti-feminist movement.

And this adoption of "all inclusive" is so similar to the "all lives matter" movement in the sense that it is in direct opposition to women attempting to discuss issues that disproportionately effect us in the axis of sex.

It's the "no sex but the human sex" spinoff to "no race but the human race".

It's not bad to have neutral groups or spaces where everyone is involved, but it's destructive when groups, events, and spaces centered on an oppressed population (including female human beings) are bullied away for not including everybody.

When everything ever becomes "all-inclusive" it is the ideology and culture of the population with the most power and social influence—the oppressor class—that dominates as the default.

Have your online discussions that focus on both men and women, but in addition to this we also need established environments that not only welcome but encourage discussions about how different forms of male violence and coercive control exploit women on the axis of sex without hearing shit about "all genders are welcome here!".

Have your "all-inclusive LGBTQ" bars and events but we also need areas where strictly gay men and lesbian women can freely be and resources that focus specifically on us.

Stop tearing down lesbian bars and women's centers we attempt to construct just simply because it doesn't include you—that is what MRAs and Christian homophobes do.

"All inclusive" is exclusionary to oppressed groups when it's the only option for spaces, resources, and perspectives of discussion because it operates a cultural form of assimilation, erasure, and coercive control.

An Incomplete List of US LGBTQ+ Helplines

I just saw the news that the Trump administration is ending funding for The Trevor Project as a 988 Lifeline partner.

First and foremost, the Trevor Project is not shutting down. They can be reached directly at 1-866-488-7386, or by texting START to 678-678. What is shutting down is the ability to call 988 and be directed to the Trevor Project’s LGBTQ+ youth lifeline.

However, I wanted to share the various LGBTQ+ helplines that I have bookmarked anyway, because god forbid one of these incredibly vital organizations DOES shut down, I want y’all to know what other support is out there.

Please feel free to add additional helplines in reblogs if I’ve missed anything!

LGBT National Youth Talkline. 800-246-7743. Open Mon-Sat

uggghh I kinda don’t want to start drama or police anyone’s account but omg some of y’all fellow tarot readers annoy me with your endless assumptions about your reader’s future spouse like why are you using “he” and “your man” for a general future spouse reading??? you don’t know if everyone reading is a straight or a woman even like many of you are but so its just strange to assume such a thing which leads me to wonder what else they assume….. be honest some of all just reading for YOUR desires and not anyone else’s its so obvi lmaooo

Regardless of how I'm feeling about the show, one thing is abundantly clear. Melissa McBride makes it worth fighting for.

"Feminism must be intersectional, or it is not feminism"

True feminism must recognize and address the different forms of oppression that affect women based on not just gender, but also race, class, sexuality, disability, age, religion, immigration status, and more.

The term "intersectionality" was coined by legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989 to describe how systems of oppression are interconnected and cannot be examined separately. For example, the experience of a Black woman is not just shaped by racism or sexism independently — it's a unique intersection of both. The same applies to queer women, disabled women, Indigenous women, trans women, and others who face overlapping systems of discrimination.

A feminism that only advocates for the needs and rights of white, middle-class, cisgender, able-bodied women excludes a vast number of people. Even if its only excluding trans individuals, its still deminishing the struggles women face. That’s not liberation — it’s selective empowerment. True feminism demands justice for all women, especially those most marginalized. It must confront not just sexism but also racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and economic inequality.

i think we all know what his “habits” are, and i don’t care to integrate them into my personal life because i actually have morals.

[she-is-ovarit]

"All inclusive" sure sounds like a way of saying "All lives matter" but to women and gay people.
