DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMY 

[jackharknessday]

I can back this up. It isn’t only their shelters.

I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.

My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.

Do not give to the Salvation Army.

Do Not. Give. To. Salvation. Army

[rab-it-deactivated20231030]

My turn.

I’m a wildfire and disaster logistics specialist.

I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.

I used to say the Salvation Army’s disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.

They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.

Then I found out.

Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. That’s not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONE’s Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.

Don’t FUCKING give to the Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army is also ass to the workers. A good number of people join it, naively thinking that it’s doing good, and end up leaving cynical and beaten down. The management is hostile, if not outright abusive, and demand some ridiculous hours of it lower to mid-level staff. Don’t support these people.

[fisharescary802]

Unsettling update

[oldearthaccretionist]

Find better local charities and shelters and give to them instead!

[moonybyte]

Also just for even more horrific context on the original twitter thread?

Salvation Army reached out to Milknmuffins and asked what shelter she’s at with the promise to address the abuse in it. She…ended up saying where she was. She was thrown out onto the street. It’s also all on Twitter.

They invited her to a personal talk so she could explain the situation in person.

And then they threatened her with a screenshot of a rape-threat made supposedly by her:

And then threw her out into the street while claiming she broke house rules that

So yeah, the Salvation Army is a bunch of entitled assholes that will treat the most vulnerable like shit if they dare try to do anything that makes them look bad

# 2020 in a nutshell

[morimallow]

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE PHILIPPINES?

Active volcanoes Mayon, Kanlaon, and Taal are on Alert Level 1.

#OustDuterteNOW, until now, no further actions have been announced by the president.

Kita Shinsuke, of course, because supremacy.

DDS — people who keeps supporting President Duterte even after TONS AND TONS OF FAILS. They're fucking blind.

#LetLeniLead, Leni Robredo is the vice president of the Philippines. So far, she is the only high-ranking government official moving and executing actions to save the people.

DEBOLD SINAS WAS SEEN BEING RESCUED WITH THREE RESCUE BOATS.

Project NOAH — the Philippines' primary disaster risk reduction management program which was handled by the Department of Science and Technology — was DEFUNDED back in 2017. It is now managed by the University of the Philippines.

Gina Lopez was the late secretary of the Department Environment and Natural Resources. Along with the also late Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago, they've posted warnings about the possible effects of the continuation of quarrying.

SIERRA MADRE, a mountain range that has helped weaken incoming typhoons in Luzon, IS IN DANGER.

A netizen claimed that the construction for Kaliwa Dam has commenced. Even so, people are still signing the petition to save Sierra Madre.

I have also seen posts from foreigners that Duterte is the best president they never had. They say that because news from the Philippines are filtered.

The president claims that he did not kill anyone with his bare hands but year/s prior to that, he said on National TV that he killed people.

HE MADE RAPE JOKES. ON NATIONAL TV. AND PEOPLE (especially DDS) DEMAND TO STILL RESPECT HIM??? HOW DARE YOU?

Extrajudicial Killings! War on Drugs! THEY KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE OF SLIGHT ACCUSATIONS.

“One whiff of corruption and you're dead,” is what he said back then but when the news about PhilHealth erupted, he demanded an investigation and I think it's still on process right now.

DEBOLD SINAS WAS PROMOTED DESPITE HAVING A MAÑANITA DURING LOCKDOWN.

DENR threw artificial white sand (dolomite — used in construction, might cause skin and eye irritation due to long exposure, might also affect the lungs) in Manila Bay for “beautification.” People visited the site despite of health protocols.

ANTI-TERRORISM BILL (which is now a law) caused a ruckus. The content of this law is so vague, it didn't even elaborate on how and when a person is considered a terrorist. This is his way to shut up the activist.

DRAGGING ACTIVISTS INTO JAIL WITHOUT WARRANT OF ARREST!!!

FUCK THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT. FUCK THEIR INCOMPETENCY. I'M TIRED BUT NOT FOR SPEAKING UP FOR MY COUNTRY.

[artissijamm]

As a Filipino myself, I can agree that this country is a mess. I want to use my platform to spread awareness somehow so- please please share these information around. 

[liverinthemailbox0-0]

Spread even if you're not Filipino!

[lilias-amell]

+ helped shut down a major channel with a big reach during a pandemic and is now having issues communicating the typhoon cause of lack of media coverage. People were quick to point out that the one time this happened was when we were in martial law

+ pardoned an american soldier who killed a trans woman because of his "good behaviour"

+ His critics and progressive groups are constantly "red tagged" or accused of being in a communist rebel group. If they werent accused of being a communist rebel, they were accused of being a drug lord or is part of a drug matrix.

+ During the pandemic, the police has been arresting protestors and activists and even donation drives and cause they were breaking quarantine and social distancing rules meanwhile one top policeman celebrates his birthday with a party and is promoted

+ somehow despite all this the guy has like a 91% approval rating
