We mourn. We remember.  We stand with the LGBTQ community against hate and violence.

[revolutionarykoolaid]

Today In Solidarity (6/12/18): As we remember the two year anniversary of the Pulse massacre, it is important that we reflect on narrative and who gets to write history. In the weeks following the tragedy, police were lauded as heroes for their response. In reality, they dragged their feet in responding to the shooting, sprayed bullets indiscriminately into the club, and have used the opportunity to muscle their way deeper into queer spaces, potentially threatening the safety of them. Survivors have recently filed a lawsuit around parts of this reality. 

Intermittently, we must remember that the victims of this massacre were predominantly Latinx, some even with hazy immigration statuses. The reality is that to this day member of the Latinx LGBTQ community (in Orlando and across the country) experience xenophobia, racism, and classism at the hands of police/authorities. We must not allow the Pulse tragedy to be white-washed. We must demand accountability for the lives lost not just at the hands of terrorists, but due to the cavalier and reckless way police acted in response. #nojusticenopeace #noprideforpolice

Dumbledore, died at age 115

Horcruxes made: 0

Voldemort, died at age 71

Horcruxes made: 7

Conclusion: Voldemort was the most useless, magic dependant wizard that ever existed. He could have lived till like 200 if he just ate well and exercised, but no he had to go and split up his soul and ruin perfectly good jewellery, fucking dumbass.

Can I punch Nazis? I don’t know. Can you? I am capable of the act, yes. Then you should. May I? The answer to that is also yes.

Can I punch Nazis?

I don’t know. Can you?

I am capable of the act, yes.

Then you should.

May I?

The answer to that is also yes.

My mother told me that violence was never the answer.

My mother told me I was handsome; you can’t always listen to your mother.

What happened to letting the other guy throw the first punch?

Nazis don’t throw the first punch. Nazis burn the first Reichstag.

Aren’t the Left supposed to be the tolerant ones?

Supposed to be the smart ones, too, but they keep falling for that “I thought you were supposed to be the tolerant ones” horseshit.

What about dialogue?

Dialogue is for reasonable people acting in good faith. Dialogue is between two acceptable positions. “Taxes need to be raised” vs. “taxes need to be lowered” is grounds for dialogue. “Taxes need to be raised” vs. “Jews should be thrown in ovens” is grounds for a beating.

But isn’t this sinking to their level?

That depends. After you punch the Nazi, do you espouse the tenets of National Socialism?

No.

Then you’re better than a Nazi.

But doesn’t this just give the other side ammunition?

The other side in this argument are lying fucks who can twist any piece of information into a swastika-shaped balloon animal if you engage them in good faith; lacking a piece of information, they’ll just make shit up. Might as well punch a Nazi.

What about peace, love, and understanding?

Great goals, and once we get rid of the Nazis we can get to work on them. All three are completely impossible when Nazis are about.

When should you punch a Nazi?

Whenever you get a chance. Preferably when they’re not looking.

What if they’re smaller than you?

Hit them with your fist.

What if they’re bigger?

Hit them with a bat.

Isn’t this a slippery slope?

After we defeated the Nazis in World War II, did we keep shooting people or did the troops come home and start having babies?

The second thing.

There you go. The slippery slope argument is nine times out of ten bullshit. Human beings are good with slippery slopes: we build stairs.

What if you think you’re punching a Nazi, but you just hit a white guy with a shitty haircut?

Run.

What should you do if you hit a Nazi?

You should run then, too. Don’t get me wrong: punching Nazis is still illegal. We’re discussing morality.

But I don’t want to punch anyone.

Then get off your duff, mister, and give aid and support to the boys on the front lines. We’re all in this together. Again.

Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor Met with the Head of a Neo-Nazi Party

We all need to pay attention to this.

There’s been a lot of discussion surrounding Donald Trump and the so-called “alt-right” (which is basically a term for white nationalism) in the weeks that have passed since the 2016 election. Many members of the white nationalist group have been outspoken Trump supporters, including the founder of the movement itself, Richard Spencer. Trump has also appointed Steve Bannon as his chief strategist — a man who has been heavily associated with the “alt-right.”

The “alt-right” is known for its extremist and racist views, as well as being severely anti-Semitic. It seems like the association between the Trump campaign and neo-Nazis won’t be broken any time soon, as his chosen national security advisor, General Mike Flynn, recently met with Heinz-Christian Strache — the head of Austria’s far-right Freedom Party, which was established by former Nazis after World War II.

The Freedom Party was originally created to be a safe haven for Nazis and Nazi sympathizers after World War II and the Holocaust. In the ‘80s, Jörg Haider became its leader, and the party took a turn toward right-wing populism with a strong anti-immigration stance. As the New York Times explains, today, the party is “anti-foreigner, anti-Islam and anti-globalization” making it an appealing party for Europe’s far-right — much like the white nationalist “alt-right” in the U.S.

It should be obvious that this meeting between Trump’s National Security Advisor and the leader of a neo-Nazi movement is extremely alarming. This meeting calls back to the words of representatives from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, who spoke out after the “alt-right” held a chilling conference in Washington D.C. praising Trump. They reminded us, through their statement, that the Holocaust didn’t begin with killing – it began with words.

Well we know which Magazine is getting shutdown on January 21st. Cause Teen Vogue is on fire with how much they hate Trump and it is commendable.

[veryfemmeandantifascist]

Teen Vogue’s editor in chief is Elaine Welteroth!

she’s the youngest editor in chief and the second black woman to hold such a title in the history of Conte Nast publishing.

[liberalsarecool]

Trump is a fascist. No Supreme Court. No Congress. No Constitution.

Just his bigoted, racist white nationalism.

G*psy is a slur. Change your username/Url if you aren't Romani and you got it in there

And if you don’t know, now you know

You can use other words to express that you are unique

[thelonelyjew]

I wish people would stop saying “I got gypped” like, Roma and Sinti communities got as destroyed by the Holocaust as Jewish ones, people of those identities were killed with way more immediacy in extermination camps, and Switzerland continued to take children from Roma and Sinti parents by force and send them to punitive residential schools until well into the 1970s. In Ukraine and other eastern European countries they are frequently relegated to areas where they are denied services such as EMS. It’s a pretty big deal.

[citrinecoven]

This is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to the witch/pagan/boho communities. So many blogs and insta people have this slur in their username and it’s so off putting. Even worse are the metaphysical- and crystal shops who use this in their names, all i can think when i see a business using the G word in their name is “0/10 would not support this racist business” 😤

[dynastylnoire]

Tattoo parlors Graphic t shirts Make up companies use it as a descriptor for their products

I just saw a faux loc tutorial and she was calling them g*psy locs and it was disgusting and she had quite a following so people think it’s okay… don’t partake in oppressive activity of any kind. Now that you know.. call it out.

[breelandwalker]

There’s a pagan shop in New Hope PA with this word in their name (G*psy Heaven), and they go by the alternate name of The Witch Shop. The owner has repeatedly been made aware of the racist connotations of her shop name, but she doesn’t believe it or seem to care.

[thewitchlibrary]

I see a lot of people reblogging stuff from this page with that slur in their username.   So change it
