It would have been great if humanity just nuked it all in the 60s. Save us the trouble of having to continue living as members the world’s worst species until death finally frees us. And some members are even dumb enough to fear the release of death

When the rest of the world looks at the united states right now, we see a government who sends billions to support genocide but cannot help their own people starving on the streets.

We see a police force who won't go in to save children from school shootings, but deploy at a rapid rate to arrest peaceful protestors using their right to free speech to protest a genocide

America, you are a war mongering snake eating your own tail. You will protect and support war criminals in another country but let your own people starve and die

To the students bravely protesting now, we see your strength. We see what we saw when students protested the Vietnam War. We have faith you will prevail

Hey guys, this isn't fandom-related but just a PSA because I want you to be safe out there.

Whatever you do, DO NOT go to this form created to target trans people in Utah and DO NOT spam it with bogus reports such as:

The entire Bee Movie script

100k word fanfics

Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up"

The names of conservative lawmakers

Full-length movies

Keysmashes

PDFs of novels

etc.

Remember, since they have no limits on word count or file size, it's really easy to overload their system and we DO NOT want that to happen. Additionally, if you have a VPN, you should absolutely NOT change your location to Utah because that makes it more difficult for them to filter reports by IP address.

Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.

Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.

Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.

EDIT: Twitter banned @/nosferatusexgod, the student shot, whose tweet I linked to (as a primary source) at the top of the post. Screenshots of the tweet I originally linked to can be found here.

A pansexual wandered into the asexual tag with a shotgun.

A pansexual commited mass homocide of bots.

Even this pansexual respects asexuals.

As someone who is studying history with a big interest in 1940-1980, it is insane to see the crack down on the college protests. History does nothing but repeat itself. It happened with protests against segregation, against the Vietnam War, against the Iraq war… and how we view it looking back is always the same. People always ask why studying history is important. This is exactly why.

Why are Palestinians not allowed to have any allies? This is the same vein of people who lament about how “oh I only trust Palestinians to talk about Palestine” - we as Palestinians are asking you to speak up. It will always be just an excuse not to care or do anything. (And yes, what’s happening in Palestine actually does involve Americans!)

This elderly woman was one of the leaders of demonstrations against the Vietnam War in 1968, when she was a student at Columbia University. Today, 56 years later, she returns to the same place and says, "Palestine must be free."

To Jewish US citizens opposed to the actions of Israel in Palestine/Gaza,

The US government is attempting to silence free speech in your name. The House has voted to update the qualification of antisemitism to a definition that includes criticism of Israel. I know many of you have seen or experienced a rise of antisemitism recently. I know there are members of the free Palestine movement that have used this as an opportunity to be antisemitic and the movement have not done enough to decry those people. Your community has deserved an increase in protections against hate for decades, but despite how much the US and Israeli governments wish to make it so, Israel is not synonymous with Judaism and many members of the international Jewish community have condemned their actions and called for an end to the occupation in Gaza. The Jewish community has been so gracious to stand with Palestine despite the antisemitism allowed in from much of the movement.

I am unable to do anything in the wake of this bill. I am agnostic and was raised catholic. Any attempts by me to speak to my representatives would be disregarded as a person who wishes to keep using antisemitic speech against a community being targeted. You are able to do something. You know that condemnation of Israel’s actions is not an attack on Judaism because many of you have done it yourselves. I urge you to contact members of Congress to implore them to change the law to not include criticism of Israel in their updated definitions of hate speech. They pretend the change is to protect the Jewish community, but many of them are only trying to silence the student protests in order to continue the genocide being enacted in Gaza.
