"Ihr seid kriminell!"

Menschen retten und Menschen ausbeuten ist nicht das Gleiche

Diesen Ausruf von Elon Musk, den er bei eine Pressekonferenz bezog, auf der Sea-Watch rechtliche Schritte gegen italienische Behörden ankündigte, können wir gern an ihn zurückspiegeln. Sea-Watch rettet Tag für Tag Menschenleben, während er Menschen in seinen Fabriken ausbeutet, Gewerkschaften unterdrückt und neben bei für viel Geld Raketen bauen läßt.

Sea-Watch schreibt uns dazu:

"Wir retten Menschen vor dem Ertrinken, während Musk zum Spaß Raketen ins All schießt. Das Mittelmeer ist zur tödlichsten Grenze der Welt geworden – nicht durch Zufall, sondern durch eine gewollt mörderische Politik. Seit 2014 sind mehr als 30.000 Menschen bei ihrem Fluchtversuch ertrunken. Musks haltlose Verleumdungen sind ein Versuch, diejenigen zu diskreditieren, die diese tödliche Politik anprangern. Doch unsere Arbeit wird fortgesetzt, denn wir wissen: Die eigentlichen Kriminellen sind jene, die Mauern hochziehen, Grenzen militarisieren und dabei tausende Tote in Kauf nehmen. 

Wir stellen uns einem profitorientierten System entgegen, das Grenzen über Menschenleben stellt. Wir arbeiten rechtmäßig und transparent, angetrieben von Solidarität und dem Drang nach Gerechtigkeit in einer Welt, in der Milliardäre wie Elon Musk Ungleichheit vertiefen und Fehlinformationen verbreiten."

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

The manhunt just went nationwide five hours ago. They believe he's left NYC. I don't think y'all understand how serious it is for him to get away with this on an American Social scale. The police don't give a single fuck about 90% of Americans their job is to protect and serve property values and the rich. Even the company he worked for gave 0 fucks about him. That's how small a piece that high paying job is worth. But a linchpin is still a linchpin. The fact people realize direct action DOES INDEED lead to Change is a big issue for these shareholders. Because if we start taking action against CEOs eventually the population will start hunting the true villians. THEM. So they need to make an example of him. They need Americans to fear taking action against THEIR LOWEST RANKS and look back to their usual scapegoat POCs and each other. That's why they tried to describe him as "lightskined" when it first got out. Misdirection and distraction. Now that they know we rally him they can't let him be a symbol. Because they need Americans to focus on getting things back to "normal" instead of being brave and progressing. So while social media has definitely made us more aware it still gives them information to use against us. So yes once again I am saying be aware of what you post and reblog on any platform about this man. I get you want to celebrate him but don't make it easier for them to find him. Don't do their work for them.

There's this phenomenon on social media, especially TikTok, where someone will post a cute video of their pet doing something totally harmless, and someone will invariably chime in the comments with some piece of unsolicited advice which may or may not even be relevant, and it bugs me a lot! Offering someone unsolicited pet-care advice (or child-rearing advice, for that matter) is actually really rude, especially if you're not a vet and you're doing it in that way that seems calculated to show off that you know more than them rather than being genuinely helpful. Like, the latest version I saw of this was somebody's cat chasing a laser pointer quite happily, and someone in the comments saying "make sure you play with them using other toys, too! It's better enrichment!" Like, boss, you saw one video of somebody playing with their cat and couldn't help but extrapolate from that that they might be doing something wrong in general, and therefore that you just had to correct them? Go jump in a lake.

This is one of those things that I think we would instinctually recognize as kind of deranged if you did it face-to-face--if you were playing with your dog in the park and someone came up to you and was like, "actually, you shouldn't be doing that, you should be doing this instead," you would be well within your rights to tell them to fuck off, no matter how much they tried to defensively frame their intrusion as "just trying to help." But the faux familiarity of social media and the anonymity of random commenters reduces the social friction there, and the urge of the know-it-all to show that they indeed do know it all is unleashed.

But here's your modern etiquette tip for the day: knock that shit off! It's really fucking rude!

honestly it's heartbreaking to see more and more people dismiss all the Palestinian GFMs on Tumblr as scams, no matter how many people are working tirelessly to make sure real people get direct aid. like literally nobody is denying there is a scambot problem. people are trying to debunk the scambots, but people will still be like "oh i didn't say you shouldn't donate to Palestine. I just said I block and report literally everything I get without looking at it anymore and outright said multiple times that you really can't trust the vetters either." and then when they get called on this because it is frankly a bad take, they get patted on the back by the fucking Tumblr hug circle of utterly spineless uwu white liberals who honestly just didn't want to have to feel a negative emotion about themselves like "oh you're so brave for saying this. having to think about bad things happening to other people was practically an assault on my mental health. thank you for validating that I'm the real victim here."

It’s literally not my fault that the themes of Breaking Bad become that much stronger if you read Walter as a closeted gay man… like where to even start okay it’s 2008 and this guy is so, so insecure in his masculinity and so, so resentful of his picket fence family life. He’s done what he was “supposed” to do by societal standards and he still doesn’t feel like enough of a man compared to his brodude brother-in-law specifically. He can’t escape the feeling that something is missing, that it’s all a charade, and he finds it hard to believe the rest of the people in his life really are content with this lifestyle. Nobody seems to understand, and he hates them all for not seeing how unhappy he is. He gets his cancer diagnosis and is suddenly acutely aware that he feels burdened and unfulfilled by the life he’s built for himself, and that time is running out to change things.

It’s when he sees Jesse Pinkman fall half naked out of a window that everything changes. He’s pretty, and young, and floundering without guidance or a support system. He desperately craves human connection and lacks the self-esteem to take his life in any particular direction without someone instructing him. He’s grieving his aunt, the only person he had looking out for him, who died of cancer. He already views Walter as an authority figure. He’s alone.

And with Jesse around, Walter doesn’t have to come to terms with anything about himself that might challenge his masculinity, because it isn’t an equal relationship. Because he’s still “the man” in this dynamic, the one with the power, the one calling the shots, the dominant one, the firm hand. Moreso than in his relationship with Skyler, who refuses to be bullied into the role he would assign her, that of the submissive, subservient little wife who looks to him for guidance and permission. As a criminal, Walt can express care for another man in the only way that traditional masculinity would deem acceptable; through violence. His love language is violence. Violence toward Jesse and violence on Jesse’s behalf. He runs over two men with a car for Jesse. He kills Jane and Mike, a romantic and paternal threat respectively, because they were going to take Jesse away from him. He tries on occasion to verbalize their relationship into something more traditionally familial, as if saying it might make it true, but it never quite fits the mold exactly. He reasserts, over and over again in what he later admits is a lie, that he is doing this for his family, that everything he does is an extension of his masculine role rather than deviant from it. He would kill and die for Jesse, he does kill and die for Jesse. In fact, in a story of self-actualization that still has Walt cling to his delusions of grandeur up until the very end (almost as though becoming Heisenberg wasn’t actually self-actualization so much as an escapist fantasy) his arc concludes with him actually self-actualizing by committing one last act of violence on Jesse’s behalf. In Ozymandias, he tells Jesse about Jane as a way of playing into Jesse’s worst fear that Walter never cared about him, that everything they did to and for each other meant nothing. Walter’s last act on Earth is a refutation of that; it’s an admission of care. His last act of self-actualization was a confession of love for another man.

It is… terrifying to me that big-name transfeminists are seeing radical feminism with the hatred of trans women removed from it as compelling.

Shut down FRONTex

Auch 20 Jahre FRONTEX sind kein Grund zum Feiern

Vor 10 Jahren waren wir gemeinsam mit einer Berliner Flüchtlingsorganisation vor dem Brandenburger Tor zu einer Kundgebung zusammengekommen, um die Menschenrechtsverletzungen dieser EU Organisation zu kritisieren. Schon damals hatten wir gegen die Mittelverschwendung  von Milliarden Euro für diese Form der "militärischen Flüchtlingsabwehr" protestiert.

Frontex feiert 20 – aber wer schützt die Menschen?

... fragt Sea-Watch.org nun 10 Jahre später. Während Europa Milliarden in diese Form der Grenzüberwachung investiert, bleiben die von Kanzlerin Merkel immer wieder versprochenen sicheren Fluchtwege eine Illusion. Sea-Watch.org prangert die täglichen Menschenrechtsverletzungen an:

Zahlreiche Dokumente belegen, dass Frontex systematisch in Menschenrechtsverletzungen involviert ist. Dennoch ist die finanzielle und politische Unterstützung der Agentur so hoch wie noch nie. Besonders zynisch ist, dass trotz Milliardeninvestitionen in unsere Außengrenzen immer noch jährlich tausende Menschen dort ertrinken: Kein einziger Cent des Frontex-Budgets wird in die Rettung von Menschen investiert.

Frontex hat Menschenrechte nicht auf ihrer Agenda. Im Gegenteil – die Luftüberwachung von Frontex macht Pull-Backs von Flüchtenden nach Libyen überhaupt erst möglich.

So auch am 2. Februar dieses Jahres, als unser Aufklärungsflugzeug Seabird einen Seenotfall in maltesischen Gewässern ausfindig macht. Zwei Stunden später taucht wie aus dem Nichts ein Boot der sogenannten libyschen Küstenwache auf – und das mitten in der maltesischen Rettungszone. Zuvor konnte unsere Bodencrew auf dem Radar sehen, dass ein Frontex-Flugzeug vor Ort war und den Seenotfall umkreiste. Wir müssen davon ausgehen, dass Frontex Koordinaten des Fluchtbootes an die Libyer weitergegeben hat und somit für diesen rechtswidrigen Pull-Back verantwortlich ist.

Mit einem immer größeren Budget betreibt Europa diesen vermeintlichen Grenzschutz. Doch von „Schutz“ kann keine Rede sein, weil es die Menschen in den Fluchtbooten sind, die geschützt werden müssen – vor Krieg, Vertreibung, Diskriminierung, und dem Tod durch Ertrinken. Der Zuspruch, den Frontex von den europäischen Mitgliedsstaaten erhält, sorgt dafür, dass dieses gewalttätige Grenzregime weitergeführt und normalisiert wird.

Gemeinsam mit Sea-Watch.org fordern wir das sofortige Ende von Frontex. Die letzten 20 Jahre haben eines gezeigt: Die Agentur begeht systematisch Menschenrechtsverbrechen, arbeitet intransparent wie ein Geheimdienst und ist nicht reformierbar. Was wir stattdessen dringend benötigen, sind sichere und legale Fluchtwege sowie ein europäisches Seenotrettungsprogramm, das im Einklang mit internationalem Recht steht und Menschenleben rettet.

GREEN HELL

image 2: wake up & pack ur shit cause someone in the Green Hell between poland and belarus needs help. 

image 3: gotta hide in the wet bushes from border patrol, but u just navigated an hour thru swamp so it doesn't make a difference at this point. soaked is soaked.

image 4: You don't risk a headlamp in these woods. its slow going but otherwise you'd never notice the blue glow of some fungi. 

image 5: The Folks you meet don't share your language, but indicate razor wire injuries from the crossing. A red light is needed to treat the wounds, and while the rest of the group drinks the tea and trades in their soaked gear, you try to ask why they left home. Only a few recognizable words but you've heard this story before.

image 6: The next day, a local with good knowledge of the Green Hell shows you some choice forest snacks, and on your way home you pass the fence where last night's wet boots dry. This place, and the people of this place give. so. much. The forest isn't naturally a refugee meat grinder, the state had to work really hard to turn it into one.

-----

for the last few years, Poland and Belarus are chewing up people trying to make their way into the EU. maiming, starving, killing, dividing families, and imprisoning whoever doesn't match their criteria for human. Even despite changing out their last ruling party for a gentler liberaler party, Poland has been diligently performing its role in the violence outsourced to them by the rest of Fortress Europe. dedicated anarchists and grupa ganica together with other kooks, punks, sweethearts, locals and internationals have been throwing down against their own kurwa government - on this front and others. i love them hella

I've listened to Sawbones for over a decade and read a decent amount of medical/science history nonfiction as well and the number of fandom arguments for female characters that sound like what doctors said (or uhhh. Say.) about women with real medical conditions is. Bad.
