This 14 girls are missing! Please share and if you see them please contact the police!

btw the pepe symbol used to be a white supremacist/fascist icon, but a while back the creator sued and worked to make it illegal for those groups to use the meme. hong king protestors seem to be using it as a symbol for their protest now!! pls signal boost so people don’t label them as white supremacists.

Success on the Pepe reclaim

goyoppressor-deactivated2019081

What are you clowns talking about??? This is LITERALLY a far-right protest to protect a man who murdered his girlfriend. Like I get you guys wanna make your "pepe redemption arc" memes so bad but. Consider thinking. For once.

Hey! HongKonger here. It looks like there's confusion about what the Hong Kong protests are really about, so I hope I can help clear it up.

We want justice for the murder victim too, and we're definitely not trying to protect the murderer. The thing is, the murder happened in Taiwan, outside of Hong Kong, and HK currently doesn't have any extradition agreement with Taiwan, so we can't give the man to Taiwan for legal proceedings right now.

Now, HK can certainly work out some sort of special agreements with Taiwan to make it happen for this murder case, and that's what a reasonable top HK leader should do. But no, the current Chief Executive (i.e. the top political leader), who's actually elected by mainland China but not democratically elected by the people of HK and thus doesn't really care about our opinion, decided not to work out a special arrangement for the murder case. You know what she did?

She decided to make a blanket change to the current HK extradition law, so that it allows everyone who lives or even just passing through HK to be handed over to places we currently don't have extradition deals with. Sounds good, right?

Wrong! Taiwan doesn't want to go down this route and it has explicitly stated that if that's the route HK takes, Taiwan will not request for the murderer to be handed over to Taiwan. For one, it's not the most time efficient way for HK to hand over the man to Taiwan and get justice for the murdered girlfriend.

The most important and underlying reason is: the proposed changes cover handing over people to mainland China, which we all don't trust bc of its "legal" system that frequently forces people to "confess" their "crime" without real proof of crime and the main victims are human rights activists. The proposed new extradition bill can't guarantee people turned over will be assumed innocent until proven guilty in the legal systems they're sent to, which is the foundation to protect people wrongfully charged of crime. And the HK court doesn't have enough power to overrule sending anyone to mainland China for any "crime".

Tl;dr:

HongKongers want justice for the murder victim, but not through the proposed changes to the law currently put forward by the HK government. If the proposed changes are passed, mainland China can bully the top HK political leader into handing over anyone who disagrees with mainland China to be sentenced in mainland China under any "crime" it can make up.

"You're protecting the murderer if you don't support the proposed new extradition bill" is exactly the kind of rhetoric the mainland China-appointed top HK political leader uses to try to make protestors fighting for freedom look bad.

Is that what you want for Hong Kong? To be turned into the express line for punishment in mainland China for fabricated crimes?

P.S. We identify as HongKongers / HongKongese to denote we're different from mainland Chinese. "Chinese" in our context refers to people from mainland China. Be mindful when you refer to people from Hong Kong.

I’m so glad I’ve finally found a post on my dash about why the Hong Kong protests are happening.

"Some of you have known this for a while now but I've been living in a physically abusive environment for years/ most of my life and have been homeless the majority of the summer. I got stabbed by a family member back in June and living at home was no longer an option. I've been relying on the kindness of those around me to sustain myself since then and am at a point where I need to ask my community as a whole for help!

Ways you can support me at this time:

Donating to my venmo and cashapp

Buying clothing off my depop (will be adding more clothes soon)

Commissioning art from my friend.

What your money is going to:

Helping me pay for school: $492 a month

Helping me buy a used car: $1700

Helping me eat on a monthly basis: $50

Monthly phone bill: $40

Gym membership: $10 (showers)

Trainfair: $50 (the transit system is ineffective and I have to take multiple buses/trains a day to travel)

Eventually first month of rent when I find a new place, but the priority at this point in time is school and the used car.

Thank you to everyone that is willing to lend a helping hand during this hard time. It's difficult reaching out and asking for help, but any help I do receive is appreciated immensely."

Please rb/boost and help one of my best friends out!

update: raised $108 / $1975!

Thanks to everyone who's helped until now, they have enough for their phone bill, gym membership, and enough to eat for the month.

but they still need enough for school, transit, and car. so please keep donating and sharing!

If everyone who reblogged this sent 5 on venmo or cashapp they'd be much closer to their goal

UPDATE: *22 Aug*

there's been a lot of notes but not that many donations.

the month is ending and it's URGENT!

this feels like a good time to mention that ecosia exists! this search engine is carbon negative as they plant 1 tree for every 40 something searches you run which currently amounts to 1 tree every 0.8 seconds. it’s just like any other search engine and switching now could make a positive impact on the amazon crisis 🌱

ugh fine my personal blog is not cutting so I’ll post here

DO! NOT! DONATE! TO! AMAZON! CONSERVATION! NGOs! DO NOT!

they don’t act on the root of the problem, they don’t mitigate the effects of deforestation, they do have limited action and they don’t help conserve the forest land outside their very small grounds besides doing little to nothing to help the people who actually live in the amazon and conserve it on a daily basis

DONATE TO THE INDIGENOUS MOVEMENTS INSTEAD

they are organized, they can keep woodcutting companies away from their land, they are getting murdered for it, they are the only reason there is any forest left at all

alicedrawslesmis

THIS is a a fund for indigenous peoples of the Amazon (Brasil only)

THIS is a link to donate from abroad to the indigenous women’s march, it has already happened but you can still donate to support the cause

THIS is a link to support the free land camp, and you can email them at [email protected] if you really want to find ways to support them, donations will go to APIB (Brazilian Articulation of Indigenous Peoples) and you can keep up with their news here

(APIB is coordinated by, among others, Sonia Guajajara! so if you know her you know this means shit will get done)

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE AMAZONIA?

So, as a brazillian, I'm desperate and so angry on what's happening with the world's biggest forest and, since I know there's not a lot of media coverage on this, I thought I could share some information.

THE AMAZONIA RAINFOREST HAS BEEN BURNING FOR 3 WEEKS

The Amazonia Rainforest is the biggest rainforest in the world and it's the home of millions of species of animals and plants, as well as to hundreds of indigenous tribes (also, they're the ones actually protecting the forest, the ones who warned everyone that this was going to happen, and now the ones who are going to suffer the most).

The Amazonia is responsible for about 20% of all oxygen on Earth and 20% of the fresh water on the planet flows on its rivers.

Brazil's current president is a racist, homophobic and stupid dude, who approves and promotes anti environment behaviour. He pardoned environmental criminals and suspended environmental laws.

In Brazil, large companies and landowners (and some politicians) are the ones benefiting from the deforestation and that's because the wood extracted illegally is sold to European Countries and the land devastated is used for livestock.

If the Amazonia is destroyed the rest of the world is likely to be destroyed as well.

PLEASE HELP. I know it may seem impossible to do anything from far away, but by spreading information, donating to NGOs and protesting, we may be able to pressure the government to do something.

If you have any questions and/or wants to know more, I'll be happy to help!

youmaysurviveus

Y'all. This is a fucking global emergency.

Some quick facts:

The Amazon rainforest is responsible for 20% of the world's oxygen.

It's home to numerous species of wildlife.

It is referred to as the lungs of the Earth.

And it's been burning for weeks, and no one is talking about it.

What is happening right now is an emergency that should be concerning all of us. The air we breath is at stake. This isn't exaggerating. Our lungs are destroyed as we speak and we are only just finding out.

This is our future. Are you upset about Spiderman? Same. Were you sad over Notre Dame? Same. But this is so much more important.

SPEAK UP. GET THIS KNOWN. Even if you can't do anything else, at least raise awareness to put some pressure out there on those who can do something. OUR HOME IS AT STAKE. The skies in Sao Paolo turned black. We are losing our most valued rainforest. WE CANNOT JUST SIT BACK.

By now, I think most of us are aware of the fires in the Amazon, but is there anything that we can do, especially those of us outside Brazil?

trans muslims and jews who wear the head coverings of their assigned gender at birth are great. trans muslims and jews who wear the head coverings of their actual gender are great. trans muslims and jews who have issues with covering their heads because they arent sure what theyre “allowed” to wear are great. trans muslims and jews who choose not to cover because it’s too complicated, or theyre afraid, or any other reason are great.

I’m kind of horrified that so few articles about the fires in Brazil are mentioning the indigenous women’s march and indigenous people on the frontlines and occupying Brazilian government offices. Indigenous resistance to the destruction is happening, this isn’t being passively accepted.

hey do you have a source/link for this? i wanna share w some friends
