Messes Making Messes

[captainsnoop-deactivated2020041]

The FCC voted to repeal Net Neutrality, but I would like to reiterate to all of you that now is not the time to panic. It’s time to get angry and active, but not time to panic.

Clickbait sites are painting today as the definitive “end” of it all, but it’s not. This shit’s still got to go through the courts.

The FCC has tried to repeal net neutrality twice before, and both times it got denied by the courts.

The voting public’s support for Net Neutrality is overwhelming. Last I checked, 83% of polled voters nationwide are in support of Net Neutrality staying.

Republican politicians and lawmakers are aware of this overwhelming support and have been voicing their support as well.

Doug Jones victory in Alabama was a wake-up call for Republican politicians, letting them know they are not invincible. 

Join the millions of Americans making their voices heard. Contact your representatives. Call them. Email them. Tweet at them. Anything you can do helps. Use the links provided on this website:

This is not a time for panic, it is a time for anger and for action. Let them know that this is not the end, only the beginning.

CALM DOWN ABOUT NET NEUTRALITY.

Don’t worry. They still have to go to court.

But guess what? There’s something you didn’t know about the vote.

Get this: the vote was basically illegal.

You heard me right. Eric Schneiderman, American lawyer, said in Twitter: “I will sue to stop the FCC’s illegal rollback of #netneutrality. New Yorkers and all Americans deserve a free and open internet.”

Not only do we have another ally, but now we know that the vote wasn’t supposed to happen.

We’ve got this. Now the REAL FIGHT starts now.

the united states government: hey ... you know what sounds like a great idea?

the american people: what

the united states government: how about we have five people vote for something that impacts each and every one of you severely but get this, here's the best part, none of you get to vote for who these five people are

the american people: that doesn't... sound ... like a democracy...

the united states government: that's because it isn't (:

Honestly, a hero like Captain Obvious would probably save more lives than Superman in today’s society

Small vent about TLJ

One of the many things that makes me feel strange about this movie is that the Star Wars saga has always been about hope, even after all the tragic events in Rogue One, the movie still ended with a message of hope, you could feel it. But after TLJ, i actually feel hopeless. I have no hope for the next one, no excitement, no theories, no nothing. I just feel numb and detached from all this.

Admiral Holdo: For this to work someone has to stay on the ship to steer it

Leia: yeah, it’s a shame we don’t have like droids and systems capable of steering a ship, eh?

Holdo: I will do it

Leia: yeah sure, you’re a famous, incredibly valuable high-ranking officer in our rapidly shrinking army, so from the strategic point of view, leaving you here in case some buttons need to be clicked is a pretty sound decision. Pitty about the droids tho

Holdo: You taught me about loss

Leia [shoving rusty droid parts into her purse]: yea, don’t mention it

[shingojira]

Let’s not forget phantom menace got great press at release

you know, I didn’t realize how much Star Wars meant to me until The Last Jedi ruined it all

If a man ever tells you to hold back don’t.

If you are a strong woman your existence is inherently alienating.

Ummm… I’m pretty sure this is romantic. If he was following her around or doing this in front of her door it’s creepy, but a guy doing something that hurts literally no one to try to romance a woman is not a creep. You are just hyper sensitive.

[halfhardtorock]

??? Men literally do these things publicly to make women feel pressured to respond the way they want.

You know what is actually romantic?? Respecting boundaries and choices.

If he fucking HAD to do some stunt, he could of at least kept it between him and her, not turned it into a public spectacle so she would be forced to respond or be labeled a cold bitch for holding her ground.

[phantom-solitaire]

4 months they were together.

He got punched in the side of the head and told to stop being a fucking stalker. This isn’t romantic at all. It’s controlling, manipulative and evil. He was embarrassing a woman he dated for 4 months, stalking her, ruining her life. He was and is a totally pathetically creeper

fun fact: any policy on drugs that isn’t harm reduction is going to cause addicts to suffer and die

[uncanney]

fun fact: Drug addiction is a public health issue, and approaching it as if it were a law enforcement issue is prejudicial to addicts and will result in their suffering and death

[breadandflowers]

Honestly the best piece of advice I can give to younger girls trying to figure life out is to completely ignore men. I’m not being quirky or cute when I say that, I mean it seriously. Ignore men’s judgments of you, ignore their insincere compliments, ignore their half-assed romance. Focus on developing yourself. Practice your art, play sports, do theater, volunteer, spend time with your friends, but do not put substantial effort into pleasing men. They’ll be there for you to pursue when the time comes and if you want to. But nothing will waste your youth more than fighting for male acceptance.

I don’t know how to explain to libfems that in a world of patriarchal domination, the idea of choice is a meaningless category. “I choose to embody feminine ideals” is like very much a statement that is already loaded with so much baggage that you can’t simply assert it as an apolitical reality.

The you who chooses, is a you who has grown up with constant demands imposed upon you by patriarchy, who has been trained to view the world through the male gaze, to see your own subjectivity as a male fatansy. Choice is not beyond critique. We need to think about the structural forces which lead to choices, the modes of consciousness which cause us to find some choices preferable to others.

“Feminism” that venerates choice and makes it beyond critique based purely on the idea that choice is a free expression of agency is worthless, its garbage that holds us back from making useful critiques, and its exactly the type of feminism that patriarchy wants you to buy into.

The soccer gender pay gap is ridiculous

Update from April 2017: Source: CNN Money, http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/05/news/us-womens-soccer-equal-pay/index.html “The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team is getting a raise, bigger bonuses and the same per diems as the men. The women’s team announced Wednesday that it had struck a new labor deal with U.S. Soccer, the sport’s governing body. For months, the women have said that their pay and treatment is unequal to the men’s team. The women will also get better hotel and travel accommodations and will be reimbursed for the years when their per diems were less than those of the men.” Finally some good news for the USWNT!

Reblogging with the bit that gives the outrage some closure.

Man, I can’t imagine a black person getting away with this but it’s legal

[clarknokent]

Yup. So all those people that were like “just comply even if you did nothing wrong”, hell no! They shouldn’t be arresting you if you did nothing wrong. Especially how rough some of these cops are. More people knowing about this will cut down on these power hungry bad cops.
