I AM BEGGING YOU TO HELP SAVE DUSTIN HIGGS
Dustin Higgs is a Maryland based artist on Death Row for a crime he did not commit -
He was convicted and sentenced to the federal death penalty as an accomplice to the 1996 murders of Tanji Jackson, Tamika Black and Mishann Chinn. It was the first federal death sentence handed down in Maryland in the modern era.
Dustin was not the person who actually shot the three women. Nor was he an accomplice. In fact, it was Willis Haynes who pulled the trigger, and he was sentenced to life in prison plus 45 years after a separate jury spared him the death penalty for the crime. With the resumption of federal executions in 2020, Dustin's life is at serious risk.
He is sentenced to be excecuted on Jan 15. 2021. 3 days before MLK Day and just 5 DAYS BEFORE THE NEW FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION IS PUT IN PLACE
Please if you have just one second or one spec of human decency, click these links.
Help save an an innocent man.

wow cool dystopia!
Not to make âwow cool robotâ meme but nobody missed the mark of what the cyberpunk genre is about more than the company that actively subjected their workers to abusive working conditions for months, engages in transphobia, uses Maori face tattoos for aesthetics, silences Maori person pointing that out, has a scene that causes seizures by recreating procedure done by doctors for testing epilepsy and stays silent as their ravenous fanbase attack anyone who so much as points it out including sending them flashing gifs which may very well cause seizures.
You canât make a piece of medium in the Cyberpunk genre, a genre meant to criticize modern and past issues with a futuristic aesthetic while actively harming people and aiding in those very same issues.
On December 10, 2020, Brandon Bernard is scheduled to be executed by the federal government for a crime he committed when he was 18 years old. He has spent 21 years on death row. Five out of the nine surviving jurors that found him guilty and one of his prosecutors no longer agree with his sentence. Please spread his story on social media, email President Trump, and call the Justice Department to ask them to commute his sentence to life without parole. Brandon Bernardâs crime is incompatible with his punishment and we cannot allow the federal government to follow through with this.
Please click the source link to be taken to his website, which details his life in prison and ways you can advocate for him. In the replies are a page with specific actions we can take to help his case and an Instagram post to share.

every time a new lesbian film comes out i see a dozen posts on how its a win for inclusion and the new best film ever and every time the couple looks exactly like this
lizard people is the most benign possible antisemitism but for some reason it hits me harder than overtly malicious antisemitism, i think bc itâs The Case Study of how easily an antisemitic trope can just become a normal part of everybodys vocab and after that ppl will fight you endlessly on whether or not its actually antisemiticÂ
i think also, to people who are not familiar with antisemitism (through experience or study or both), antisemitism often comes across as cartoonish or wildly antiquated, so that people are inclined to dismiss it as toothless. i mean, lizard people is super fucking silly. or, people donât really believe jews drink the blood of christian children anymore, thatâs medieval. then its on jews to put in the legwork pointing out the use of lizard people to describe zuckerbergâs physical appearance, how qanon is modern blood libel, how easter pogroms canât really be divorced from âthe war on christmasâ. and then, especially because conspiracy theory is now such a jokey quirky thing to so many people (âwhatâs your favorite conspiracy theoryâ) and not understood as an integral aspect of modern antisemitism, jews are suddenly The Fun Police, even tho all of these things share the same logic and imagery that drove an entire genocide not even a century ago
While I absolutely understand this, I think it is important to note that the majority of people believing in or making fun of this conspiracy are not aware of the antisemitic roots and thus do not so because of it. It has become its own thing.
Like words like âbitchâ or phrases like âsuck a fat oneâ. They have sexist/homophobic roots but most people do not use them in that way. They have become almost meaningless phrases. Lecturing people about them doesnât do much to help.
It is very important to be aware of casual anti-semitism, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. But not everything that might have started that way stayed that way.
Flat Earth is a fundamentalist Christian conspiracy. But not even a decade after it really took off (thanks, Youtube), a lot of people who believe in it arenât even aware of that. You have people of all faiths, and some without, following it.
Heck, the US started as an Atheist country, separation of state and church, and now most laws are in some way or another linked to religion, mostly Christianity.
tl;dr: Time passes. Things change.
Consider the most recent prolific incident involving flat earth conspiracy theory. Remember when we thought it was hilarious that B.o.B wrote a song about how the earth is flat?
The thing is, conspiracy theory - like every other belief - needs to be able to draw upon an intellectual history in order to explain itself. But since conspiracy theory is, by its nature, bullshit, the only intellectual history available to it is the conspiracy theory that came before it. It must be self-referential or canât survive. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is the single greatest conspiracy document of the 20th century and directly contributed to the Holocaust. Thereâs essentially no 20th century conspiracy theory that doesnât draw upon the world of the Protocols to explain itself. This includes silly conspiracy theories like flat earth. âWell if the earth is flat, why isnât that common knowledge?â âBecause the elites are suppressing knowledge to keep you under their control.â
Of course I donât actually believe that every single person who makes a lizard person joke is antisemitic. Thatâs the very point of this post. They arenât, and when my non-Jewish friends make a lizard person joke I donât chase after them with a big stick and beat them for it, as you seem to believe.Â
A significant aspect of the way antisemitism has evolved is that dog whistles now make up much of its language. What Iâm referring to in this post is the overwhelming experience of Jewish users who combat coded antisemitism online - the fact that itâs coded makes it very easy for people to dismiss both our lived experience and expertise. Jews donât just decide willy-nilly when something is harmful so we can bask in the pleasures of making other people feel guilty. We know the history of this hate, where it comes from and what it can do.Â
So yeah, Zuckerberg is a weird guy. I, too, really dislike him. Do Nazis, in 2020, believe Zuckerberg is a literal lizard? No. Lizard people is a reference to a somewhat outdated antisemitic conspiracy theory popularized by David Icke. But Nazis are big into the idea that Zuckerberg isnât a person. Jokes about Zuckerberg looking like a robot or lizard masquerading as a person canât be isolated from his Jewishness and the white supremacist belief that Jews are an especially sinister force, capable of looking like ordinary (or white) people even though they really arenât people, theyâre a degenerate race in control of everything and bent on erasing white people entirely.Â
Would you like to see how this plays out in Nazi chats?Â
This is where Iâm putting in a read more, or a warning to Jews reading this post that Iâm about to add screencaps from Nazi social media.Â
Keep reading
american leftists seem extremely focused on anti imperialism (good) but rarely- if at all- discuss decolonization in their own fucking country, despite acknowledging that it is a settler colonial state.
im serious about this though. as an urban indian, i definitely cant speak on this as much as a rez indian could. but i know from talking to rez friends i have and from what the american indian movement has screamed for over the years that we need land we can grow on, we need clean water, we need to allow the wildlife that once lived in this land to live here again (meaning you need to listen to us before building those high speed rails you all get so hard over).
you cant drool over the zapatistas while ignoring people in your own country who have a similar goal
silly me I never provided things to read on the topic of decolonization! I'd personally suggest the following as "beginner level" essential reading to understand decolonization:
Discourse on Colonialism (Aimé Césaire) - this is more a focus on colonization, but I feel it's a necessary read in my opinion as in order to understand decolonization I believe it's important to first understand colonization.
Wretched of the Earth (Franz Fanon)
Decolonization is Not a Metaphor (Tuck, Yang)
also an "easy to process" read, to understand landback specifically here in Turtle Island, I'd suggest reading The Red Deal (there is a pdf, I don't mean the article with the same title)
Discourse on Colonialism (PDF, ebook, mobi)
The Wretched of the Earth (PDF, ebook)
Decolonization is Not a Metaphor (PDF)
The Red Deal (PDFs of Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)
want to make a post abt the pregnant 18yr old member of my tribe being found dead on Thanksgiving Eve but I dont feel like yall ignoring me while you repost generic links to Indigenous organizations you have no intention of donating to.
Her name was Jalajhia Finklee & she was a Mashpee Wampanoag. Tomorrow is going to be a different kind of pain for our tribe. Pray for us.
