Here’s the whole video. It’s called “Don’t Be A Sucker” and it’s 17 minutes long.

[republicansareahategroup]

don’t just scroll past this actually watch it, it’s only 2 minutes long. If you re-recorded this today word for word with modern actors and places, it wouldn’t even look out of place as a PSA

[deadredactedwalking-deactivated]

300,000 notes and i can’t find a transcript

[sky-squido]

Transcript: (sorry for the language!)

Speaker: “I see negroes holding jobs that belong to me! And you! I’ll ask you, if we allow this thing to go on, what’s gonna become of us real Americans!”

Hungarian man with clear foreign accent: “I’ve heard this kind of talk before, but I never expected to hear it in America.”

Young man: “This man seems to know what he’s talking about.“

Speaker: “What are us real Americans gonna do about it? You’ll find it right here in this little pamphlet—the truth about negroes and foreigners! The truth about the Catholic Church! You’ll find…” [audio grows quieter as camera shifts to the onlookers]

Hungarian man: “You believe in that kind of talk?“

Young man: “I dunno, it makes pretty good sense to me.“

Speaker: “And I tell you, friends, we’ll never be able to call this country our own until it’s a country without… without what?“

Other man: “Yeah? Without what?“

Speaker: “Without negroes, without alien foreigners,”—the young man is nodding, following along—“without Catholics, without Freemasons! You know these…“

Young man: “What’s wrong with the Masons, I’m a Mason.” Looks to European man worriedly, “hey, that fellow’s talking about me!“

Huungarian man: “And that makes a difference, doesn’t it.“

Speaker: “These are your enemies! These are the people who are trying to take over our country! Now you know them, you know what they stand for. And it’s up to you and me to fight them!” A bunch of the onlookers in the vicinity wave him off like he’s crazy and turn away, “fight them and destroy them before they destroy us!”

Speaker: “Thank you.“

One man in the now somewhat awkward crowd: “claps“

Young man: *is visibly uncomfortable*

Hungarian man: “Before he said Mason, you were ready to agree with him.”

Young man: “Well yes but, he was talking about… what about those other people?“ *the pair sit down on a park bench*

Hungarian man: “In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, of course.“

Young man: “What about you? You aren’t American, are you?“

Hungarian man: “I was born in Hungary. But now, I am an American citizen. And I have seen what this kind of talk can do. I saw it in Berlin.”

Young man: “What were you doing there?“

Hungarian man: “I was a professor at the university. I heard the same words we have heard today. But I was a fool, then. I thought Nazis were crazy people, stupid fanatics. But unfortunately it was not so. You see, they knew that they were not strong enough to conquer a unified country, so they split Germany into small groups. They used prejudice as a practical weapon to cripple the nation.”

As someone who’s reported alt-right harassment and rhetoric on various social media sites and been told “there’s nothing here that violates our TOS,” seeing what RPGnet is doing is a welcome breath of fresh air.

Please, more social media sites need to do this.

Trump Wants Snitches to Report on DEI. There’s Just One Problem.

Donald Trump wants people to expose diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the federal government. The idea is already flopping.

The threat was loud and clear: Report your so-called “DEI” employees or else. What exactly “DEIA or similar ideologies” means is up in the air, but the message was out there. And so was the email address of the DEIA snitching hotline. Fake emails quickly started to roll in. ‘I don’t care, fuck these McCarthyite bastards,” one BlueSky user said, with an screenshot attached of an email to the hotline where he ironically reported Donald Trump and JD Vance for being “put in their positions solely because of their race and/or gender despite the fact that they are wholly unqualified for their jobs and, in some cases, have criminal records.” “Anyone have a script to fire off a billion e-mails an hour??” another user asked in the replies. “Anyone can email anything of any size even if it crashes the site,” one X user noted. The scope and effectiveness of this latest phase of Trump’s anti-DEI crusade remains to be seen.

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

FLOOD THIS :D

MAKE IT UTTERLY UNUSABLE :D

[genderaffirmingslurs]

The email is [email protected] btw

[theygender]

Don't just spam it today. Keep spamming it until they shut it down. Spam it for weeks, months, however long it takes. Queue this post to reblog periodically to remind other people. Set reminders on your phone or calendar to send Trump bullshit. Treat this like a challenge and win it

Don't let the momentum die down. Don't allow the tipline to become useable in a few weeks when this post stops spreading. Don't allow them to harm vulnerable people on your watch

[decemberwinter]

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

[perplexed-penguin]

If you’re an American federal employee and got an email saying “it’s ok to quit your job.” Do not, for the love of everything, quit your job. This is purely a scare tactic to get rid of as many people as possible without legal consequences.

[iamnmbr3]

Obviously, Trump has realized firing everyone in the government will be harder than he thought because of robust legal protections so he’s trying to scare or trick people into leaving instead because he knows they can block and slow his fascist agenda. Don’t let that happen. If you’re in the civil service, your country needs you; stay in your job and protect the constitution. And if you’re not in civil service, do what you can to support the civil service, including calling your representatives and asking them to protect civil servants.

[whatisthedeal]

Important addition: the email was almost WORD FOR WORD the same email sent to Twitter employees after Musk took over. It does not consider Federal employee rights or regulations, parts of it make NO SENSE WHATSOEVER (you resign but will be kept on active payroll and simply won’t be given work or need to come in. For 8 months.).

8 months pay with the ability to get a new job is very tempting, especially for lower-paid workers. All that extra money could really cover some gaps and relieve financial pressures. It’s tempting. I get it.

ITS ALSO NOT LIKELY LEGAL AS WRITTEN AND YOUR AGREEMENT COULD ACTUALLY SCREW YOU. There’s a reason so many of the recent EOs and initial memorandums are getting halted or rewritten - no thought or research was given to what they can do given actual regulations and union contracts. Because many are coming from Musk via DOGE, and Musk has NEVER had to deal with unions, federal employee regulations, and strong opponents capable of fighting back HARD with decades of legal precedent at their back.

Reality seems to be hitting as an afterthought to all the shit spewing like a firehose from this administration. Don’t react to the first edition of ANYTHING. Given it a few days and see what actually can be done.

[wyf-of-bathe]

Right now, r/fednews is the biggest social media hub for federal employees anywhere; you can find resources, advice, news, memes, and encouragement there.

If you're not a federal employee, feel free to pop over anyway for information, and please send well-wishes! They really need it right now, as their jobs are so so so important but not very popular or prestigious, and now the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world are trying to take their livelihoods.

The architect of Project 2025, Russell Vought, is now Trump's director for the Office of Managenent and Budget -

ie, the main guy who created Project 2025 is now the topmost-level manager and coordinator of all federal agencies.

His vision for federal civil servants, in his own words:

"We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.

We want their funding to be shut down so that the EPA can't do all of the rules against our energy industry because they have no bandwidth financially to do so.

We want to put them in trauma."

Project 2025 specifically targets federal civil servants for a reason. They are the essential first and second lines of defense of the US democracy and the fascists know it.

Support our civil servants, support your rights.

Til Death

Rated: E

“Guys!” Spider-Woman shouts, interrupting them. “Can you answer Morales’ question? Is there another way?”

Peter takes a breath, and shakes his head. “We’ve been trying—and we’ll keep trying. But this is our best bet. At the very least it might buy us time to find a solution. So,” he says with a raise of his eyebrows. “Miles Morales? Meet Gwen Stacy. Gwen Stacy—Miles Morales.”

There’s no proper way to describe the tension as the two face one another. It’s thick and anxious and Miles is surprised one of them hasn’t run from the room to escape it. He tries to smile, but he’s sure it looks more like a grimace. How can it not, with the news they’ve just gotten? But he’s a realist. The situation is what it is, and Miles can’t think of anything they have to lose. So the first time he says his future wife’s name, it’s in a shitty proposal.

“Well Gwen Stacy, what do you say? Will you marry me?”

-

or Gwen and Miles have been arranged to marry to save their universes

They're all weak, it sneers. So puny. Better for crunching, eating.

MJ agrees. Told you. Once you've had a taste of Parker, there's no going back. 

Peter is strong. We want more of Peter.

Sighing, she has to admit that she agrees with the sentient homicidal parasite again.

Hello 😇👋,

Our family is facing incredibly difficult times due to the ongoing war in Gaza 💔. Our dreams and future have been shattered, leaving us feeling lost and without purpose. Anas and Ahmad have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help them escape Gaza, continue their education, and support our family.

Making a small donation or sharing the campaign would mean the world to us.

PLEASE SHARE

[powersuitup]

Educate yourself on why you can be turned away.

There are only a few things that you can legally be challenged on.

Not a citizen, felon who hasn't had rights restored, and don't live in the voting precinct are the major ones I would expect.

You CANNOT be challenged as a non-citizen solely based on being an ESL speaker or having an accent and you should immediately call the Voter Protections Hotline if that happens.

If your state does Election Day registration you can't be challenged simply for registering on election day.

If anyone tries to challenge you for something that is not an approved challenge (Look up Poll Watcher rights in your state, this will vary and I don't want to overspeak) call the Voter Protection Hotline, call your county elections office, don't leave without casting a ballot, and insist as much as possible on casting an official ballot. Be calm, be polite, but know your rights and don't back down.

Officials at your polling place should give you a printout or instructions on what you need to do to cure your ballot and the deadline for doing this. DO NOT leave without written directions on exactly what you need to do and where you need to deliver this information by when.

The ONLY thing that can not be cured is voting at the wrong polling place. This may vary by state, but in many you MUST vote at your correct polling place, so double check that before you go, and try to vote early enough that if you do end up at the wrong place you can make it to the correct one before polls close.

Bitten

Rated T

Miles watches her finger trace the spider bite. She’s warm, soft, gentle. How he’d like to enjoy this moment with her skin on his, but all he feels is dread. What had bitten him? What had bitten her? He turns her hand over and sees the telltale two pricks of a spider bite. The skin around it is already slightly puffed with swelling. He runs his thumb over it, soothingly. His eyes lift to see Gwen doing the same. They’ve been catching eyes for months. This time is very different. “So,” she starts, but clearly doesn’t know what to say. Miles thinks he does. “Fuck.” She contemplates his response for a moment before nodding. “Fuck.” — Or Miles and Gwen both get bitten. Who knew that navigating new superpowers would be less complicated than navigating their feelings.

[awakening5]

I wrote a sequel! It took a bit longer to finish than I'd like, but if you're interested in how life is going for them several months later...

Smitten

Rated E

“Now isn’t the time,” she repeats, her gaze dipping to his lips. “Totally agree,” he says, even as he lets his hand move up and down her side, over her hip, back to her ass so he can touch it again. It isn’t the time. Wasn’t he just berating himself for not having his priorities straight? A pang of guilt comes and goes in an instant, as her hand dances up his arm to cup his face and soothes it away. “Miles, we said we’d keep our hands to ourselves when we’re in the suits.” Her words tell him to stop, but the way her lips draw closer makes it hard for him to take those words seriously. She presses her lips to his. - Or Miles and Gwen try to clean up New York City, but are firmly in their honeymoon phase

Mohammed is trying to escape to safety in Egypt, but the cost is staggering: $5,000 per person. Without these funds, their chance to flee their nightmare is slipping away. 😔💔

Here’s how you can make a REAL difference:

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support. Together, we can make a life-saving difference. 🙏✨

[spock-shock]

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

Salute to our troops (70s careerwomen who put their hard-earned dollars into homemade gay erotica)

[mrsmarymorstan]

It was women with secretarial jobs doing a lot of the heavy lifting, if memory serves correctly.

They had training in type setting, could churn things out quickly, knew how to organise mailing lists, and had easy access to Expensive High Tech like photocopiers.

Boss make a dollar, she makes a dime. That's why she's printing Kirk X Spock zines on company time.

Tesla is tanking so hard it is dragging the entire EV segment's sales down into the negative. When you omit Tesla from the equation, EV sales are up 13% across the board.

Don't let anyone tell you EV sales are in a slump.

[heartsnbruises]

"EV sales are in a slump" is actually a statistical error. Rolling Deathtrap Georg, who lives in South Africa and spends billions of dollars a day trying to convince people he's cool, is an outlier adn should not be counted.
