in case you missed it, the US recently vetoed a UN ceasefire resolution for the THIRD TIME in 137 days.

[stil-lindigo]

Long story short, post-WW2 the only way to get a lot of major global powers to join the UN was to give them the power to veto, and that being a make-or-break-it gesture.

Matt is harassing Avery on twitter now

[anneemay]

[boccher]

I wanna emphasise prev tags and ramble cuz it hits the nail on the head exactly. Exactly!!

What mr CEO is doing is fucking heinous: Revealing private information on a sex worker, placing her at risk of danger; Trying to use sexual language as a gotcha, knowing trans women are more likely to be profiled as sexual predators; Using his platform & disproportionate institutional power to amass extra attention & dogpiling on her; chasing her down, telling her that there's no safe place that she can run to without being pursued; threatening police on her. The entitlement to do all this just to win an argument and defend himself as an "lgbt ally". It's disgusting. And yet, it's so fucking common.

It's such commonly accepted behaviour among self-proclaimed "trans allies", among other queer people, even among other trans people. That's what trans women have been telling everyone for the past few months, for the past few years, for as long as we've existed. A significant proportion of TME people think this is totally justified behaviour when disagreeing with a trans woman, when they would rightfully condemn this behaviour if it were targeted towards a man, a cis person, a white person; y'know, people who are considered by default "more innocent" than those trans women who get 500 callout posts a day.

Self-declared trans ally Matt is perfectly replicating the everyday behaviour of all the transmisogynists and terfs running rampant on his website. This is his response to all of the ignored reports of harassment campaigns and witchhunting against trans women: He's joining in. He's replicating their behaviour to a T.

To place him in the broader situation, he's just one of many transmisogynists, all exhibiting the same kind of vile bigoted behaviour as him. He's the norm in a transmisogynistic society. But as a rich and powerful CEO with authoritative powers, he's also spearheading the current wave of transmisogyny, riling up and encouraging transphobes en masse to harass every trans women they see (many of my mutuals!) . This guy's actions are legitimately dangerous.

discomfort and disgust aren't the same thing as immorality and even though a lot of immoral things are also disgusting that isn't what makes them immoral, always keep this in mind when you judge other people for what they say, do or like

A 16 YEAR OLD NON-BINARY STUDENT WAS BEATEN TO DEATH BY HER PEERS & THE SCHOOL DID NOT CALL POLICE OR AN AMBULANCE.

local news did not report on the story at all. the school is trying to avoid talking about it altogether. they don’t want anyone to know that this happened.

say their name. NEX BENEDICT did not deserve to die. the oklahoma school district & state has blood on its hands.

🇵🇸 From BDS:

This year’s Israeli Apartheid Week will be the most important since IAW was launched 20 years ago! With the ongoing Nakba at its height, Israel is carrying out the world’s first ever live-streamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza while it continues to entrench its 75-year-old settler-colonial apartheid regime against all Indigenous Palestinians. Over the past few months, people around the world have carried out inspiring actions building people power to end state, corporate and institutional complicity in Israel’s #GazaGenocide and contribute to the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice, and equality. With the failure of the international system, under US and Western hegemony, on full display, we will organize IAW throughout the month of March to bring justice from below. Save the date - March 1st - March 30th; an entire month of action and BDS mobilizations to end complicity in genocide, build grassroots power towards liberation and the dismantling of Israel’s settler-colonial apartheid regime. Let’s make this year’s IAW our most impactful ever!

In anticipation of the upcoming Israeli Apartheid Week, BDS has called for an escalation of our boycott campaigns.

To find out how you can join a specific BDS campaign, or how you can contribute towards IAW, you can use the search function on their website to find a BDS-affiliated organization in your country.

If you and your organization have an event planned for Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW), you can register them with BDS here.

🇵🇸 For individuals unaffiliated with an org, you can still support and participate in IAW by:

Boycotting all products from Israel and from companies profiting off the occupation of Palestine. Here are the official BDS targets. For a more extensive list of products, check in with one of the BDS affiliated organizations in your country (they might tell you, for instance, what processed food items at your local grocery store should be avoided).

Share information about BDS on social media, with friends and family, and with your local community.

For BDS targeted brands, refrain from making or sharing any content that helps that company's outreach and branding. No more memes mentioning the brand, no pictures showing their logo, no more free advertising. Boycotting here isn't just about the loss you as a costumer can inflict on the company by not purchasing their product, it's also about damaging the brand's reputation, and limiting their customer outreach.

I highly encourage you to join a BDS-affiliated org, but if for whatever reason you can't, then these are concrete and actionable steps you can take.

Again, for more information about BDS and Israeli Apartheid Week, you check in with the official BDS website.

UN warns of child deaths due to rising malnutrition, disease in Gaza Strip

UN agencies say war-torn Gaza Strip could ‘witness an explosion’ in child deaths amid growing ‘hunger and disease’.

On February 8th, this nonbinary child was violently beaten by three cis girls. The school did not call them an ambulance after the beating was stopped, and they later died in the hospital from head trauma. They have also been deadnamed and misgendered in their obituary and in the news. As the author of the article puts it:

How is that not national news? A 16 year old beaten to death in a public school bathroom? By other students. All these unanswered seemingly obvious questions about what transpired, and how the adults involved acted. That should be every headline. In fact, almost every local outlet covering the story misgender and deadnames Nex, using their same assigned at birth. The indignities pile on. We don’t yet know if Nex’s nonbinary identity is directly tied to this incident. But, my God, it sure matters to me that this would happen to any child. A nonbinary kid assaulted in a girl’s bathroom. That outcome from the narrative of anti-trans rhetoric these past years. Still why wasn’t this story breaking news? It involves a nonbinary student in a public school. And school violence and school police resource officers. It involves the deep fear so many trans youth have shared with me about their schools.

[luckynein]

And everywhere you look they are misgendered and deadnamed. This kid didn’t even get a chance to really start life.

This year’s Super Bowl was a weapon of mass distraction. If there’s any justice, future generations will remember the game not for Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, or Taylor Swift but for the US-funded attacks on Palestinian civilians that occurred while so many Americans were glued to their TVs. During the game, watched by well over 100 million people in the United States, Israel launched a bombing raid of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, the most densely populated area on earth. More than 1 million people had fled now-leveled Gaza City to the refugee camps in Rafah and surrounding areas. Palestinians who have survived previous Israeli strikes are now staving off disease, destitution, and fear.

Meanwhile, CBS granted the Israeli government space for an ad about the 130 hostages left in Gaza. This ad, meant to build public support and justify the slaughter of nearly 30,000 civilians in Gaza, spurred 10,000 people to register complaints with the FCC, because the commercial did not disclose that a foreign government had paid for it. Coupled with the Rafah raid, this looks more like military synergy than happenstance. 

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft also spent $7 million on an ad from his organization Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism. It features Clarence Jones, a 93-year-old former speech writer for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Kraft and other pro-war billionaires use the memory of King so much, they should be paying his family indulgences for slandering his name. The ad failed to mention that Kraft has given $1 million to pro-war AIPAC and donated $1 million in 2016 to Donald Trump’s inauguration. Given that Kraft says that the Nazi march in Charlottesville was his motivation to start his foundation (Charlottesville was the one with “good people on both sides,” according to Trump), his hypocrisy is insidious.

Kraft and Israel want the same thing: a blank check to uproot Palestinians from Gaza and build settlements. One can also only imagine if a peace organization tried to buy an ad asking Israel and the United States the question: “How many dead children will be enough?” I suspect it would be denied faster than a public-service announcement about concussions.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM BISAN ON HER INSTAGRAM

Today in Khan Yunis! This might be our last call, we are dying! Gaza is completely collapsing! Everything in it collapses. There were dozens of raids and three hospitals were besieged in Khanyounis: Al-Amal Hospital affiliated with the Red Crescent, Al-Khair Private Hospital, and Nasser Medical Complex, the largest health institution in the Gaza Strip. People killed in the bombing were buried on front of our eyes in the hospital yard due to tanks blockading the streets, the wounded were on the ground without treatment and there was not enough medical staff! Massacres are still being committed On the 109th day of the war, Khan Yunis, the largest governorate in the Gaza Strip and the one that receives the most displaced people, is under bombardment, and the number of displaced people in Rafah is more than one and a half million people, in an area of 151 square kilometers!! We are facing hepatitis and intestinal diseases in the southern Gaza Strip, and starvation to death in the northern Gaza Strip! Yesterday, people in the northern Gaza Strip began grinding animal feed to get flour! Take to the streets, protest, strike.. make pressure on the decision makers by striking the economic movement! Call for a ceasefire!

It’s still happening. The genocide is still happening and we as humans can’t continue to let this slide by, while everyday lives are taken. Something must give.
