Everything feels awful right now but it isn't really. We still don't officially have a winner, but regardless of how the presidential election ends up, I wanted to take a minute and find what lights I can in the 3 a.m. darkness. Here's what I know:
* Kentucky overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to undermine the public education system by offering private school vouchers:
Amendment 2 to allow public funds to go to private and charter school education was rejected universally in Kentucky counties when the Assoc
* Delaware has elected a transgender woman to the House of Representatives, the first out trans person of any gender ever elected to congress:
McBride wins Delaware’s at-large House seat against Republican candidate John Whalen III, a former state police officer
* For the first time in history, two Black women will be serving in the senate at the same time, and they are only the fourth and fifth Black women ever elected to the senate:
Democrats Lisa Blunt Rochester from Delaware and Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland both saw victories
* New York State has passed a constitutional amendment enshrining the rights of pregnant people (including the right to an abortion), LGBTQIA+ people, the disabled, immigrants regardless of legal status, and other at-risk groups:
The constitutional amendment faced a tougher-than-expected fight after a right-wing campaign against anti-discrimination protections.
* Democrat Josh Stein has beaten self-avowed Nazi Mark Robinson to become governor of North Carolina:
Stein is the current attorney general and he noted his work winning opioid settlements. But it was controversy over Robinson’s inflammatory
That's everything I know off the top of my head. It's not many bright spots, but it's not zero. I'm going to try to find more and I'll add them to the post. It's the only thing I can think of to do that isn't sobbing and throwing up or looking up Canadian immigration rules.
If you know more good news, I encourage you to add it in reblogs.
* Nevada has amended their constitution to guarantee abortion rights, overturning a state ban:
Get live results and maps from the 2024 Nevada general election.
* Colorado has passed amendment 79, guaranteeing the right to an abortion, with more than a 20 point spread between the Yes and No vote:
This means that now, the right to an abortion is codified into the state constitution and a future state legislature cannot restrict it.
* Maryland Question 1, also focused on reproductive rights and abortion, has passed as well: https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/results/maryland/issue-1
Question 1 on the Maryland ballot offers voters the choice to enshrine reproductive rights in the state’s constitution. View the 2024 ballot
* Likewise, Amendment 3 has passed in Missouri, overturning a near-total ban to add reproductive rights to the state constitution:
Missourians voted to enshrine reproductive health rights into the state’s constitution Tuesday by voting yes on Amendment 3.
* Arizona Proposition 139 to protect abortion rights also passed:
Get live results and maps from the 2024 Arizona general election.
Every glimmer helps.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
* New Jersey has elected the first Korean-American senator in history:
Democratic U.S. Rep. Andy Kim was elected Tuesday to the U.S. Senate, defeating Republican businessman Curtis Bashaw for the seat that opene

Pride and Prejudice (2005) + tumblr posts (part 1)
"Zionism" is to the Left what "Woke" is to the Right--a minority's own term conceived of in relation to the prejudice they face, taken by the majority, twisted, and used as a pejorative, rather than come to terms with the bigotry that originally created it.
no. Zionism is a political ideology used to justify the illegal colonization, occupation, and genocide of Palestinians. it’s really NOT the same.
you are wrong. i suggest you educate yourself. There are many different forms of Zionism, and it is entirely possible to be Zionist and also support Palestinians' right to homeland.
We unpack the six schools of thought and the full range of Zionist ideas that continue to shape the conversation today.
I am a Pro-Palestinian Zionist. I believe in a homeland for the Jewish people. I believe in a homeland for the Palestinian people. What do y

Additionally, it is simply fact that Jewish people are indigenous to the Levant. You cannot fit this into a settler-colonialism model because that is not the reality.
To speak of the Jewish diaspora as though those people have always been splattered across the Earth is to deny their cohesive origin and the
The truth is that the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is the agonizing struggle between not one, but two indigenous peoples fight
Discover the archaeology, genealogy, and history that supports Jewish claim as the indigenous peoples of Israel.
Like I said, Zionism is to the Left what Woke is to the Right.
Recently, the geographical origins of Ashkenazic Jews (AJs) and their native language Yiddish were investigated by applying the Geographic P
Sharing this peer-reviewed study which, further to @skypalacearchitect's post, proves the Middle Eastern ancestry of Jewish people.
I remember reading this study, in fact--and I also remember that certain "antizionist" groups called it "racist science" because it went against their ideological dogma that Jews have no ties to the Levant.
Analysis reveals medieval genetic diversity, illuminates founder event
There's been several studies into the ancestry of Ashkenazi Jews and most agree that, at the very least, approximately 40% to 50% of their genetic markers are Middle Eastern in origin. The exact number will of course vary, as it would with any diaspora, because of intermingling with other populations.
It's worth noting that Arabs are not indigenous, insofar as being the "original" people to live in these lands, to most of the Middle East and North Africa. They originate from the Arabian peninsula that today comprises countries like Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Oman.
They conquered the Middle East from the Sassanian and Byzantine empires in around the 7th century CE. This is centuries after the Kingdom of Israel, Kingdom of Judah, and the writings in the Hebrew Bible.
The idea that the Middle East belongs exclusively to Arabs is as nationalistic and racist as saying that Europe belongs exclusively to Caucasians. Neither is historically true.
Which ties back to my original post quite neatly.
Something that also seems lost on supposed "activists" (I would love to see these same "activists" try living under the oppression of Hamas) is that Zionism does not mean defending the actions of current or past Israeli governments.
Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel. The vast majority of Jews around the world feel a connection or kinship with Israel, whether or not they explicitly identify as Zionists, and regardless of their opinions on the policies of the Israeli government.
It simply acknowledges the right to self-determination, a right which is enshrined within the Charter of the United Nations, for the Jewish people. You can even be a Zionist and still support Palestinian statehood.
But if you're arguing for Palestinian statehood and for Palestinian self-determination, whilst simultaneously arguing against the existence of Israel and Jewish self-determination, then you're being hypocritically antisemitic.
The right of self-determination for all peoples was first enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. It has however…
For all of my US followers for whom general public official election day is coming up (Nov. 7th) PLEASE do not become so disillusioned with the current state of higher power politicians that you skip out on voting for local offices; off year and local elections are already critically unemphasized but these are the people who have the most direct power over jails, police, school curriculum, etc. Do not let your grief be weaponized as a distraction from also continuing to fight police brutality, queer and bipoc censorship in schools, bodily autonomy, housing inequality, etc, on the smaller scale battlefields where every vote truly does count
It can be so frustrating to vote in small local elections because info is harder to find, but if you take the time to google vote411 and go to their website, get your personal ballot, and then look up the candidates, you will always find that two people are running for a local school board, and one is a lovely person who has slowly been effecting positive change for three decades and the other is a real estate broker who wants more money. And then you have the power to vote against the money asshole and for the nice person in a race that can genuinely go down to a handful of votes. Feels awesome, man. Vote out the bitch who voted against reasonable COVID measures in your local high school 3 years ago.

doctor voice hello yes im here returning your call about scheduling! ^_^ so the next appointment we have is tomorrow at 4am. after that the earliest we can get you in is december 2025... either of those sound good to you?
Anyways remember that time that JK Rowling, who has never spoken to an indigenous American person in her whole life, was like "but what if the Natives had four schools and they were also bloodthirsty savages who started the residential schools with their fictional beings as their mascots and Christians weren't actually at fault" right at the time when we started getting some traction around getting recognition for the heinous crimes that were the mass graves of children, then went on to make a whole spin-off franchise in America using that """lore""" and rhetoric, where the one wizard guy who tried to stop the Holocaust from happening was villainized and played by Johnny Depp (who played Tonto in the Lone Ranger and said he was going to buy the Black Hills and Wounded Knee and "give it back to Lakota people" then never did that at all) and who she later defended as saying he wasn't a domestic abuser because she believed him over a woman who has since been proven to be telling the truth several times over?
The woman's a violent colonizer.
Hello <3 I deleted this original post but in light of the fact that there's a Twilight TV series reboot/spinoff in the making let's talk about how these women are one and the same in their actions against indigenous American people!
Stephenie Meyer is a Mormon with Mormon views. Mormons have extremely racist ideology embedded within their religious texts about indigenous Americans and Jews - that indigenous people are quite literally the Actual Real Jews (I'm mixed, this is truly insane cult rhetoric). Through the decades the LDS church has successfully funded, advocated, and carried out forced conversion and cultural genocide. THEY ARE THE ONES ACTIVELY TRYING TO OVERTURN ICWA, THE INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT.
Her views on this are very, very clearly written into the pages of her books, here's clearer documentation about how she fucked over the Quileutes tribe and the inner workings of white supremacy in the book.
Are you seeing the pattern here? Are you seeing the undercurrent of antisemitism and anti-indigenous racist imperialism?
Get rid of your attachment to these franchises, stop making it a question of what media you will replace it with, get involved with US. We want your allyship and understanding more than these white supremacists even want to think about your humanhood.

because i love y’all, i’m sharing my family’s recipe for apple tea (traditional fall/winter drink in west asia, turkey, and many areas of the balkans)
it’s like a more delicate version of apple cider and i basically live off of this stuff when the weather starts to cool!
Apple Tea (for two)
1 large apple or 2 small, shredded (you can use a cheese grater)
3 cups water
1-2 cinnamon sticks
2-3 pc clove (optional)
honey to taste
1 tsp of lemon juice (add at end)
green tea (optional! some versions call for green tea but i actually prefer it without. up to you!)
throw it all in a pot and let it simmer on a low temperature for an hour or so. while it’s simmering, it will also make your home smell delicious! (if you make it with green tea, add the tea at the end, about five minutes before taking it off the heat so the flavor doesn’t become bitter from oversteeping). strain into your cups and enjoy hot.
