Gaza is being bombed at this very moment in the “designated safe zone”

[embraceyourdestiny]

Within less than an half an hour of the original posting the Martyrs jumped from 22 to 60 and it’s still counting

[embraceyourdestiny]

100 killed this night just now

[wearenotjustnumbers2]

This is Rafah, The "safe" zone, where 1.5 million Palestinian fled to. You have to understand, what bombing Rafah means.

Please don't look away, while everybody is busy watching the super bowl, Israel commits one of its most deadly and openly genocidal attacks on Rafah. Please don't look away.

Palestinian-American teen one of hundreds killed by Israelis in West Bank

They are using US tax dollars to ‘kill our own children’, says father of slain Palestinian-American Tawfiq Ajaq.

Eyes on the West Bank, please.

(And a reminder - 'Israeli' settlers are not innocent bystanders and at this time especially they're being armed by the likes of Ben Gvir - and military service is mandatory for 'citizens'.)

[autisticadvocacy]

Anti-trans laws are targeting autistic youth and those with mental health conditions

States are suggesting doctors withhold gender-affirming care from autistic youth or to ensure symptoms of depression and ADHD are “resolved.

"There’s a perception of autistic people and people with [intellectual and developmental disabilities] overall, that we’re not able to make our own decisions. Big decisions like those around health care, education, living arrangements."

[liminalweirdo]

If you're trans I think it's important that you know that TERFs are using anti-trans rhetoric to stop autistic people from transitioning. Autistic people are highly likely to be trans, genderqueer, nb, or otherwise gnc.

We deserve the right to transition.

[queeranarchism]

Autistic people already face frequent barriers to transition within existing medical systems. Here in the Netherlands those can range from longer diagnosis to being told to ‘work on your autism first’ to simple refusals to diagnose and prescribe care to a trans person because they are autistic.

One of the many examples of why our fight for self determination and access to transition care must be intersectional. 

[haltraveler]

The trans rights movement is also fundamentally a fight for the right of autistic people for self determination. All autistic people need to be paying attention whether or not we’re trans.

[chavisory]

Right, like they’re not just throwing up additional barriers to care for autistic trans people here.

They’re setting a precedent that if you’re autistic or mentally ill, they can arbitrarily decide what kinds of medical care are off-limits to you.

And who thinks that’ll even stop with us? Or with gender-affirming care?

[hyperlexichypatia]

The fight is for universal competence, universal bodily autonomy, universal cognitive liberty. As long as anyone, anywhere, is presumed "too (disabled/ autistic/ 'mentally ill'/ traumatized/ minoritized/ uneducated/ immature/ 'lacking insight into their condition'/ etc.)" to make xyr own decisions about xyr own life, mind, and body, then everyone is in danger.

Palestinians are starving!!!!

[mhizzberry]

I just wanted to share this article about Palestine's right to revolt and why it is important that we support it. It also has sources embedded in the text that debunk misinformation about them and Hamas. I implore everyone to read it and spread this information around.

[el-shab-hussein]

Always remember that Palestine was explicitly granted the right to armed resistance by the United Nations, against the zionist occupation. The article mentions the U.N. enshrining that right for occupied and colonized people, but the U.N. also explicitly named Palestine in the resolution, as well as Namibia and Zimbabwe who were also fighting against apartheid and illegal occupation.

[thegroundsofbrooklyn]

guys why the fuck aren't we talking about what's happening in the uk right now

nobody outside the uk is talking about this. why is nobody talking about it

[thegroundsofbrooklyn]

prev!!!!!!

again, i know it's depressing and i'm sorry for putting negative stuff on everyone's dash but it's so fucking frustrating that nobody is talking about this because if nobody listens to us then nothing will happen and nothing will change, please please please start speaking up

11/30/23: KOSA is an anti-LGBTQIA+ censorship bill. It is essential you call THIS week. Tell them you are specifically against KOSA and especially against hotlining the bill.

Call the Capitol Switchboard at [phone] and ask to be connected to the Senator of your choice.

Here is one that will send your reps a fax: https://resist.bot/

[secondbeatsongs]

the resist bot wasn't working for me when I tried it just now, but the Bad Internet Bills website was - please click the link, fill out the info, and do what you can to contact your representatives about KOSA and other, similar pieces of legislation!

the site also has a really neat feature where you enter your phone number, and then it calls your representatives for you! it connects you to the right offices, shows a script for you on the screen, and then when you're done leaving a message for one person, you hit the * key and it takes you to the next one.

for me, the whole process took about 18 minutes, and I gave comments to a whole bunch of people - it was really easy!

if you're in the USA, please do this, if you can! this is a situation where our voices matter!

[thecrownedgoddess]

I keep thinking about how the media frames Palestinian children, stripping them rhetorically of their childhood by convoluted phrases like 'people under 18' and 'minors as they call them'. I know this language. It is used for black children all the time. Black children aren't children. They're 'young men' and 'twelve-year-olds in adult bodies'. Colonial dehumanisation.

[littlestpersimmon]

Click the actual post, it will take you to the tweet itself and the article. And tw only for my palestinian friends, but this is harrowing. And just.. depraved. No words. I really think it is worth reading.

"There is a feeling that senior officials in the army are aware of their failure on October 7, and are busy with the question of how to provide the Israeli public with an image [of victory] that will salvage their reputation.”

To be clear, the framing of the article is shaky, but the details of it is stomach churning. IDF is using AI to generate targets. Every civilian death was intentional.

“These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home.”

I also want to add something that became clearer to me from philippine politics, as a survivor of Duterte's war on drugs where cops literally shot at me.

The duterte administration called every single leftist voice "terrorists", using that to push out laws making it legal to redtag, leading to arrests and imprisonment, literally murdering activists in broad daylight- it should have made it clear to everyone that the word "terrorist" as a descriptor is just a boogeyman. A tool of the fascist.

[faggots-wilde]

And mink and coyote and fox!

Listen, fellas.

The problem isn't fur, the problem is factory farming. That's always the problem. Buying fur and bones and shells from Indigenous folks who know how to get them correctly and respectfully is the best practise.

But you know what kind of winter coat eventually decomposes and doesn't cause pollution and doesn't contain microplastics? FUR. You know what kind of fabric stays warm even when wet? WOOL. You know what kinds of shoes last forever? LEATHER ONES.

Plastic is bad for the environment. Are you going to kill a thousand animals or one? Those are your choices at this point, there is no zero. You have to square with the idea that you cannot get the blood off your hands, and you shouldn't feel you have to. We all depend on one another, and it's possible to want an animal to have the best life it can before you kill it for food and whatever else. Domesticity is a good deal for most animals when it's done properly--they get protection from predators, free food, and medical care that they wouldn't get in the wild, and a longer life and a painless death.

Pleather is plastic. Faux fur is plastic. Vegan leather is plastic. It's all plastic and it all releases microplastics into the water supply every time you wash it. It is not 'cruelty free' that is a lie advertising is selling you. You have got to stop thinking with your disgust reaction.
