Thatās cause the things these right wing ppl are mad abt aināt EVER what they say theyāre mad abt. The masks? Itās abt being told what to do, being forced to respect the well being of others. Being affected by something ev else is also being affected by and their whiteness or wealth not protecting them.
They know the ppl getting snatched is not gonna be THEM. Heck, some of them might themselves be working for the dhs, CPD, army, and cops or have family members or friends at v least who do.
These ppl literally donāt gaf abt anybody but themselves. Itās not just privilege alone
I know itās a long post but please consider helping us out
Okay, so Iām Jay, a trans lesbian latinx woman and my partner and I are dealing with a very intense situation. We are trying to escape a toxic home in Arizona and really want to get back to California. We are barely making enough money to cover our bills and sometimes have no money for food or basic necessities. Weāve sold a lot of our things just to get as far as we have and itās getting to the point where if we stay here much longer, we absolutely will not survive. Last night I had a very close call and weāve decided we have to make a risky move to get out of a desperate situation.
Iāve made some calls to temp agencies in the city we are looking to move to and they said if I can get there to do interviews, they can get me a job that pays enough to get us evened out. We are trying to do whatever we can to get out of here by April 1st. To do this, I need to get together around $2500 to help us cover rent for a month and money to cover the bills that will follow us (This does not include money for food or gas but weāre desperate). This might be our last chance to get out of this situation and into one that could potentially turn our lives around.
The people we are staying with are absolutely destroying our mental health and are keeping us financially starved. They will not let me leave my current job to find better employment with the fear of being made homeless in a state where we have no one. They have also forced us to make financial decisions that have pushed us further and further into debt. Any food we have been able to afford we have to hide or else they will eat it, throw it away, or give it away to friends from their church. I have been hospitalized several times in the last few months due to symptoms associated with extreme emotional distress. I canāt do this anymore.
If anyone can help us, even a bit, please send some money our way. If you canāt just please boost this post so we can get seen. And please, do not send any hate our way. I just do not have the strength to deal with it anymore.
Some stuff went down and now the threat of being kicked out onto the street is hanging over me. I have no money, not even for food, so I would become homeless. Please help.
Things are getting desperate. I donāt know how much longer I can stay in this house, both due to emotional abuse and sure to the fact I might get kicked out any day now. No donations have come in yet and I had to go without food today because our bank account is completely empty.
At $115/2500 but we havenāt received any donations in days. Things are getting harder by the day and at issues with my partnerās job is making it hard to even pay our basic bills.

Holiday, who throughout her career called public attention to the devastating impact of white supremacy, drew the notice of the Commissioner for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. He ordered her to stop singing the song...
ā¦In the end, Billie Holidayās insistence on performing āStrange Fruitā may have been responsible for her demise.
One of the primary attempts to silence her came from a man named Harry Anslinger, the first commissioner for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, and an extreme racist, even for the 1930s. As Johann Hari details in Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs, Anslinger claimed that narcotics made black people forget their place in the fabric of American society, and that jazz musicians were dangerous in particular, creating āSatanicā music under the influence of marijuana.
Holiday, who throughout her career called public attention to the devastating impact of white supremacy, was also a drug user. Ā She drew Anslingerās notice, and he ordered Holiday to cease performing the song. Holiday refused, and Anslinger ramped up his efforts to silence her.
After one of Anslingerās men was paid to track Holiday and frame her with buying and using heroin, she spent eighteen months in prison. Upon her release in 1948, the federal government refused to renew her cabaret performerās license, mandatory for any performer playing or singing at any club or bar serving alcohol.
This utterly undermined her career. Although Holiday was able to perform multiple sold-out Carnegie Hall performances over the next several years, she could no longer travel the nightclub circuit.
Unable to perform regularly at the venues she loved, and to stop remembering a childhood that included being raped at age ten, and working in a brothel with her mother, Holiday eventually began using heroin again. Ā When she checked into a New York hospital in 1959, her liver was failing and cancerous. She was emaciated, and her heart and lungs were compromised. Despite her condition, she didnāt want to stay there. āTheyāre going to kill me. Theyāre going to kill me in there. Donāt let them,ā she presciently told friends and family.
Indeed, Anslingerās men, sensing a macabre opportunity, showed up at her hospital bedside, handcuffed her to the bed, took mugshots, removed giftsthat people had brought to the roomāflowers, radio, record player, chocolates, magazinesāand stationed two cops at the door.
Even so, as doctors began methadone treatment, Holiday began to improve, gaining some weight and improving slowly. But then Anslingerās men prevented hospital staff from administering any further methadone. She succumbed to death within days.
The only surviving filmed version of Holiday performing the song is from the British cabaret television show, āChelsea At Nine,ā recorded February 25, 1959 and released in March of the same year, just a few months before she died. Her voice is strong and impressive; the raw emotion simply devastating.
From their infancy in the US, drug laws and enforcement have been about controlling and murdering Black people.Ā
Empirical research shows bathroom predator concerns are baseless.
āOur side concocted the ābathroom safetyā male predator argument as a way to avoid an uncomfortable battle over LGBT ideology, and still fire up peopleās emotions.ā
I want people, in particular cis people, to read this and understand what it means.
It means that these groups, these organizations, are so Hellbent on getting trans people outlawed, hurt, and killed, that they will openly lie and admit to lying to stir up emotions. They have no qualms with actively lying and distorting reality.Ā
They have no qualms about misleading people. Actively lying to people.Ā
They donāt care how immoral their actions may be, how much their rhetoric flies in the face of reality, as long as it reaches their end goal of the destruction ofĀ ātransgender ideology.āĀ
MassResistance and all their ilk want us dead, and should never be trusted, not even for the most trivial of matters. They should be rejected, reviled, despised, because nothing they do is in service of anything but hatred and evil.Ā
And in case anyone actually doubts this, and wants to cryĀ āfake news,ā hereās MRās actual article. Should it get deleted, hereās an archived version.Ā Some choice bits under the cut, if you want to see how vile these people really are.Ā
āWe want the museum to understand that the moai are our family, not just rocks. For us [the statue] is a brother; but for them it is a souvenir or an attraction,ā said Anakena Manutomatoma, who serves on the islandās development commission. āOnce eyes are added to the statues, an energy is breathed into the moai and they become the living embodiment of ancestors whose role is to protect us.ā
The moai have been standing JUST fine in the open in the island for literal centuries. Believe it or not, the Rapa Nui are NOT stupid; they know their island, how to live in it, and what materials and treatment to those materials do or do not last in the island theyāve called their home for ages. The moai are MADE to be āoutside in the elementsā.
And preserved for whom? Iām sure my ancestors wouldnāt feel itās preservation to have a LIVING piece of their culture stolen by colonizers and kept away from them all this fucking long when I assure you, no one asked for their permission to take it in the first place.
Thatās not fucking āpreservingā, thatās just fucking stealing, and a loss of culture for the Rapa Nui.
Iām gonna steal the Mona Lisa, the Statue of Liberty, Queen Elizabethās crown, the stained glass pieces of Notre Dame, a sculpture by Michelangelo, keep āem in my house, charge white people for even just distantly looking at them, and call it preserving history.
In all seriousness tho it started going downhill after it got bought by yahoo. They only cared abt the profit from that sale not actually improving the product. So Iām not surprised this is how theyāve handled it.
i love how this image is made to look all historical when in reality itās a protest organized by or at least associated with the sylvia rivera law project, which was founded in 2002, and the earliest version of this image i could find was from 2014 and in full color.
like yeah sure nobody explicitly put a date on it but itās obviously intentionally deceptive.
