Hey guys, a little note: even if you’re not belarusian, or you are but you’ve moved to another country, WE STILL APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. Even if you’re just rebloging, or speaking with your family/friends about the situation. Love you guys and thank you for being there for us.

[bulbacarp]

Belarusians are the most powerful, fearless, incredible people in the universe!!! ВЕРЫМ, МОЖАМ, ПЕРАМОЖАМ! 💖✊✌

[bulbacarp]

A friend of mine sent me this and asked for reblog. And I’m asking you to print some and post them around the neighborhood, so that more people will see and google it. Thanks

[bulbacarp]

I love the fact that my name literally means “raging glory” Thanks mom for choosing it

Belarusians are so neat that they even clean up the streets after peaceful protests. America, I guess we can teach you something...

I'm so proud of my people right now. Every evening and every night I'm looking for videos from every corner of my country where people fighting for their freedom. Soon The Republic of Belarus will be free! 🤍❤️🤍 #ЖЫВЕ_БЕЛАРУСЬ

Don't let what's happening in Belarus disappear. Tumblr almost got rid of the Black Lives Matter tag by shoving it into the politics, trump, and covid tags or putting things that weren't even tagged with black lives matter in that tag. People are being attacked and killed in Belarus because they are refusing the very obvious vote tampering, they are fighting back, don't let what's happening be forgotten.

Their internet is being blocked, please boost this and tag with Belarus and Belarus Protests in the tags!

americans on twitter commenting on protests in Belarus saying shit like "this is whats gonna happen in november look closely" like... FUCK YOU!!! this isnt about your problems with Trump, dont compare 25 years of Lukashenko's presidency, who's literally called the last dictator of europe, with 4 years of Trump okay. just dont.

it's painful to see, how time after time, people from countries of former soviet union are asking for help and to spread the information about the injustice that's being done to us and the world just don't want to listen. as if it's not bad enough. it's just a couple of rigged elections, couple of new laws, nothing crazy. but i can see, clear as day, how people on the other side of the border becoming prisoners in their own home. how the governers, who are suppose to protect us and help our countries grow, take the last of our money and kick us to the curb. for 6 years, there's war going on in my country and for some fucking reason it's nowhere near its finish. i know it's impossible to care about everything, especially right now, when there's just bad thing on a bad thing and it doesn't seem to end, but i guess i'm just tired and hopeless as i'm sure most people are. i can't even comprehend a possibility of everything being good, it's not in the books for us. who knows what can help. but it would be fucking great for someone to finally step in and take us somewhere great, but, unfortunately, it's never that simple.

Massive FEMALE protests all around Belarus.  Belarusian women is the most powerful, strong, outstanding women in the universe! Your parents, sibling, partners, friends and kids are so proud of you!

I downloaded this from Radio Liberty in telegram.  Look at the girl!

From the same Radio Liberty

even in my town!(this is not my photo, i’m sitting at home and hoping that i’ve caught flu, not covid but my aunt has it so... damn)

[bulbacarp]

The forces in my town literally check EVERY FUCKING PHONE to see if you’re having any pictures from the protests, or do you have telegram. If they see something that they won’t like - you’re in jail. They’re trying to make sure that everyone in the country thinks that my city didn’t participated at all and everything is under control. Belarusians know what kind of city it is. We’re with the people. Don’t let anyone thinks the opposite.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but for my fellow Westerners and/or Americans:

Please, be aware of what is happening in Eastern and Central Europe, particularly Belarus. The extremely shortened version of what is happening in Belarus is that they have been under a dictatorship for the past 26 years, and just recently had an election where Lushenko (i.e. the man who has been head of state the past 26 years) "won" by an overwhelming majority, which has led many to believe that the election was undoubtedly rigged. Citizens then came out to peacefully protest and were met with police brutality and violence from the State.

I've been seeing a few things float around about Belarus, but not nearly enough.

Learn as much as you can (historical information +current affairs) and consume information from reputable reporting sources. My personal choice is BBC for current affairs.

Don't center the dialog around yourself. Don't say "this is what it will look like in November with Trump", because not everything should be centered around American issues and it is such a horrible, self-serving thing to do. This is about Belarus, it needs to stay focused on Belarus, and we as outsiders need to not use this as an opportunity to self-insert our own political and social issues. Belaeus deserves the same respect and support from the world that was given to the US during the BLM protests.

Continue talking about what is happening with people in your circle and urge them to stay informed on the issues at hand.

Support in ways that you can. I know there are some fundraisers and reputable organizations that you can donate funds too. If you cannot financially donate then please stay informed and use your networks as a way to distribute accurate information.

If you know someone in Belarus or who is Belarusian and are in contact with them- simply listen. Be a support person for them if needed and don't offer unsolicited advice or viewpoints. If they want advice or your opinion they will ask. This goes back to the first point, don't center yourself into this conversation. As a friend, or just a fellow human being, it may be enough just to listen and be an external person to validate their experience and feelings.

As a side note, many of the guidlines I outlined above can be applied to other issues going on in the world. Right now it seems like the world is falling apart and many people are suffering. As an external observer we cannot pit tragedies against each other in some sort of macabre Olympics of suffering which we engage with from a safe distance.

We must all work to be informed and stay responsibly engaged in the world. Take care and stay safe!

I cant go on the streets to protest, because i’m too physically weak. I will get some severe injuries or even die. But i’m trying to spread the information to as many people as i can. So please, reblog anything about the hell we’re going through. Belarus need your help. We need people on our side. You can just talk to 5 of your friends about what’s going on here, then they can do the same thing and voila we have a huge awareness of PEACEFUL PROTESTS IN BELARUS. If you’re from Belarus and you know that there’s a protest in your city: leave some stuff like water, band-aids, medications on the bench near your front door and send a message in telegram accounts about it so that people can find and use it. You can probably save someone’s live. We will win. Hold on just a little while longer.

[yeet-wolf-in-the-stars]

Just some fucking news:

Police is using medical cars to catch people and beat them

They're literally drive into the crowds to hurt and kill people who are protesting

They beat up random people who are not even participating in demonstrations

They use some kind of grenades to threaten people

Please

Do not stay ignorant. Spread the information

"Americans, crying out that they will face with the same situation with Trump" VS "Belarus (+ Ukraine and Russia)".

DEAR EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN PEOPLE, if you support communism or really think that Lenin was right, shut the fuck up. Lenin and his company were criminals, who didn't care about people, who romanticized violence, executions, revolution and death.

The occupation of power by the bolsheviks and the creation of the Soviet Union led to authoritarianism throughout the former Republic of the USSR, to a complete lack of empathy in power in relation to the people.

In some places we still have free health care, which means that you are told not to whine and go to work. Free education is a huge, outdated and corrupt system.

Trump is an asshole and a criminal, but at least you have confidence that you can vote against him in a fair election. And we? We have no confidence :)

[bulbacarp]
