But they aren’t documented so they wouldn’t be pa…..nvm

[stayingwoke]

This is a huge misconception for regular Americans. When the government uses the phrase “undocumented” they’re using it incorrectly because if they were truly undocumented then they would’ve be in system. However these immigrants are in the system and they pay taxes, file tax returns and get no benefits that citizens and legal residents get. They also get to see ICE showing up at their doors because the government has their addresses. Fun fact. “Undocumented” workers pays $12 billion dollars every year in taxes. https://www.google.com/amp/www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2016/10/06/how-much-tax-do-americas-undocumented-immigrants-actually-pay-infographic/amp/

“Undocumented” just means “without papers,” i.e. a social security card, valid visa, etc. They’re still on databases and whatnot, they just don’t have the documentation that allows them to reap the benefits.

so if it didn’t click- the government is aware of their presence and gladly taking their money under the table while simultaneously promoting the idea that undocumented people are a threat and encouraging hatred and distrust of them it’s super messed up, literally the scheme of an evil villain, and it’s really happening

to all the people going "taylor swift is just a singer, how is she supposed to end the genocide in palestine?" you're right, she cannot. but, she can influence the right people to do something. she posts one link telling people to register to vote and over 35,000 people registered. ticketmaster fucks over her fans during presale for her tour and it ends up being a subject of discussion in the us house senate. when people created ai fakes of her, the white house tweeted about it. last night, in about 10 minutes over 400,000 people liked her tweet announcing her new album. think about how many people she could reach if she tweeted about a ceasefire, specifically the "right" people ie the people with power. think about how much money she could raise if she posted a donation link on IG. she's already a republican talking point, she could leverage the fact that politicians constantly have her name in their mouth and call for a ceasefire. she has reach, she has a voice, she has influence, she has an audience, and she is not using it.

[nicolasbitch]

and you know what? this doesn't just go for taylor swift. this goes for everyone, but especially people with influence. people with a spotlight on them. every actor or director or singer or influencer. from beyonce to ariana grande to margot robbie to harry styles to greta gerwig to brittany broski to chris olsen and every other trending person i can't think of rn and beyond. they all have platforms. they all have people who will doxx the fuck out of a person for speaking ill about their faves. they all have the opportunity to channel that to do some good. and they don't. if someone like me, with 141 followers who are mostly pornbots and abandoned blogs, can can scream into the void about palestine and have 50 people agree with me, think of what someone with millions of followers worldwide could do.

It’s the way that I would immediately get evicted or cancelled if I was to go on reality tv…like I can’t say

“Lame. Stupid. Psycho. Psychotic. Crazy.”

Btw the other words for psycho seems more offensive than just calling the person a psycho.

Can’t call the person Lame but I can call them

Obnoxious.

Nope just pack me up immediately

[awesomeuslovin]

it seems ridiculous b/c there’s no explanation as to why those words are offensive, but they are rooted in ableism. This was a great resource for me when understanding why the words that OP highlighted are ableist and should be replaced: https://www.autistichoya.com/p/ableist-words-and-terms-to-avoid.html.

Yeah so the Big Think is literally owned by big oil. They’re making shit up so people feel too exhausted to fight for any change. Ignore this kind of environmental nihilism, all it does it help the rich avoid change.

When I worked as a contractor I knocked on a heavily pregnant woman’s door and she said she’d “have to talk to the missus” in a heeeeavy outback accent and I actually forgot how to speak for a second and had to explain that I’m not homophobic I’m just super gay and hearing her say that launched my souls directly to nirvana

As a German this makes me physically uncomfortable to read about, how have so many people not learned from one of the biggest mistakes we’ve ever done? How can this still be happening today?

[evilkitten3]

as a jew, HELP

[thereschocolateonmykeyboard]

As a German, I want to reiterate something: If this horrifies you, VOTE FOR BIDEN!!!!! Again, Hitler was legally elected in Germany, then made it so he could stay in power indefinitely. In the US, you are definitely looking at the exact same situation unfolding. Vote him out of office without one shred of doubt! Learn from history, ffs.

By the time concentration camps were happening, there were no more democratic elections in Germany (not that it would have mattered, mind you). You already have concentration camps, but somehow the value of voting for Biden is still up for debate? Hell no.
