[darkwhimsycreations]

The RESTRICT Act, Jim Crow laws, police brutality directed towards bipoc communities, ICWA, train derailment with chemicals poisoning major water sources, anti-Trans laws, controlling education, active hate groups, militarized police force, extremist values in government....the list goes on. Does anyone else see the parallels to how fascism rose in 1930s Nazi Germany? I feel it would be wise to know what exactly we are fighting for and against at this point. It's not just individual issues. This has been planned for years. It comes after marginalized communities first. Now it's big enough that it's noticeable almost at a glance. Keep on being loud. It doesn't have to be protest, it can be emails, petitions, it can be building your local community and then when the day comes that we have no more options, we band together. Silence and compliance is where fascism gains ground and thrives. Stay strong everyone! 🤝 🩷💜💙 I will continue to add links and resources in the comments when I come across them. https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative <----- email, call your representative.

Updates of actions and research opportunities are being added constantly in the comments of this post!

If you think your government can't or won't participate in atrocities, they absolutely can and probably already have.

[darkwhimsycreations]

I started this post so that people who are new to the idea their government is not working have resources to learn and actions to take. Feel free to share this across platforms and with people outside of the internet. It is easy to give into the apathetic thought that we are already doomed but that is far from the truth. Even a little bit of resistance matters. Remember, this government is supposed to work for us! Comments of research and actions updated 4/4

Comments updated 4/20 I hope people will find these resources helpful! This isn't centered on one single subject. I wanted this post to be a hub for any resources, petitions, actions, etc I find throughout my free time.

THEY FUCKING OVERTURNED CHEVRON!

Jesus fuck, I cannot think.

They overturned the US federal gov'ts ability to regulate things.

Say, for example, Congress writes a law and its say, we have to regulate clean water. But it doesn't say how. The EPA would come in and say how. Chevron said courts had to defer to the agency's expertise.

Now, it says, Congress needs to explicate it and therefore agencies have no power.

And we';ve had do nothing Congresses since the middle of Obama's term. 2010 at least, when the TEA party came into power. Oh sure they pass some laws, but things like this will LINGER.

So now, the EPA, just one example, has lost the ability to say, hey you can't put this pollutant in water.

DEA wants to reclassify marijuana. How you think its gonna go now?

A lot of federal agencies issue regulations protecting LGBTQ+ community and disabled people. Gone.

And, combine that with the ruling yesterday that gov't officials can take bribes if they are considered gratuities, can you imagine how this will go?

A goddamn banana republic.

Add on disability is forced poverty and jail is modern day slavery.

As always, the Irish speak nothing but facts.

How many more innocent civilians have to be killed by Israel before you condemn that for it?

That is a genocide.

That this is a crime on all accounts.

And deserves to be punished to the full extent off the law.

[brendering]

This plea to do something and not stand idly by reminded me of what Elie Weisel said in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in 1986. He warned the international audience about the danger of inaction and detachment. Weisel (a famous Holocaust survivor and author) mentioned Palestinian oppression specifically in this speech, stating that "human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere [...] that principle applies in my life also, to the Palestinians".

In discussing genocide and indifference, Weisel said:

This is the twentieth century, not the Middle Ages. Who would allow such crimes to be committed? How could the world remain silent? [...] And then I explained to him how naive we were, that the world did know and remain silent. And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must–at that moment–become the center of the universe.  And action is the only remedy to indifference: the most insidious danger of all. Isn’t this the meaning of Alfred Nobel’s legacy? Wasn’t his fear of war a shield against war? [...] There is much to be done, there is much that can be done. One person–a Raoul Wallenberg, an Albert Schweitzer–one person of integrity, can make a difference, a difference of life and death.

Hi I want to let you kids know how effective these walk outs are: public schools are payed by attendance. Meaning if you’re not going to class the whole school isn’t getting payed their share. Now if it’s just like the normal kid has a sick day that’s normal.

But a class of 200? And you know who’s getting the blame? Administration. So kids continue to plan your walk outs in DROVES. Convince the kid with perfect attendance to join you, get your teacher involved by having them accept your homework at a later time.

You kids deserve a proper education and school experience. Don’t let these adults take that away from you.

[glacecakes]

My high school was 2 THOUSAND. Back in 2018, we had a beloved teacher put on leave for talking about the Parkland shooting. Nearly 300 students + staff did an impromptu walkout. We were threatened with loss of prom and graduation… until a certain magazine caught wind of us. It was TIME. Our random high school was now national news. One of my classmates went on primetime news. We had helicopters for days. The next time we walked out, over half the school participated. We were blocked in on all sides by cops.

Walkouts make them scared. Walkouts get attention. Walkouts work.

[liluglydudefromdetroit]

When people say "defund the police is too scary" ask them how scary this graphic is and ask if the funding police get correlates to the conditions in the city or if that same money would be better off reallocated to... Let's say a fucking library
