CeCe Rogers on Facebook writes: "Two Black Tennessee lawmakers were physically escorted out of chambers this week while Republicans quietly held a hearing to approve gerrymandered maps that would eliminate the state's only majority-Black congressional district.

No referendum. No special election. No public vote.

Because they know what happens when voters actually get a say — just look at Virginia, where the people spoke so loudly that Republicans had to drag the courts in to override them.

This isn't new. During Reconstruction, Black Americans held more congressional seats than at any point in the prior 90 years of American history. And white supremacists spent the next several decades tearing that down, through gerrymandering, poll taxes, and voter intimidation.

150 years later, the same tools. Different suits.

The audacity of escorting Black lawmakers out of their own chambers while dismantling Black political representation, and then telling us the courts aren't political, is breathtaking. These are the same courts they're counting on to make it stick.

This is a coordinated, multi-front assault on Black Americans. And we need to say it exactly that plainly."

Hate to break it to you but basically every rural area in the US is culturally the same. There's basically no meaningful difference between a small town in the Midwest, a small town in the south, and a small town in New England, other then like accents and biome, and both the accents and the biomes are being destroyed, its all just McDonald's and fascism. Meanwhile cities, especially walkable cities, are so culturally distinct from eachother, New York, and Boston, and Philadelphia, and San Francisco, and Los Angeles are all such distinct and unique places even if you ignore the immigrant groups that define them. Philadelphia and NYC are like two hours away from eachother yet they're so different from eachother and so unique and cool, and meanwhile a town in Maine has all the same stores as a town in Arizona.

"All the same stores." Lmao. Okay commodity fetishist.

The Southernization of the rural North is a huge problem and increasingly making this post true (except for the parts about large cities, which are turning into interchangeable finance-surveillance-capitalism-slop as well, with the same underlying political-economic incentives as the fashy rurals), but the process is nowhere near complete, no thanks to idiots like you gloating about it.

look, im a city girl i hated living on the coast, but i could feel the difference between small towns in opposite parts of the same state, let alone medium sized ones across the country.

so congrats OP you singlehandedly made me understand what the hell the right means when it talks about urban elitism.

So I went and did some quick research and

Opinions are divided in the agrarian town of Chinchero, where the airport is slated to open in 2025

It’s basically as bad as it sounds

They started breaking ground in 2019 but the government has been trying to build this airport since 2011. More and more of the locals don’t want it because of how it’ll destroy the area even though they’ve been offered a lot of money for their land and promised jobs. None of the scientists who work in the area want it. South America like Chile/Bolivia/Peru/Ecuador/etc etc etc are such unique and old places. The ecology in South America is so special and has species that are nowhere else in the world. The landscape is unusual and special. The people there have been able to maintain traditions despite colonization in a lot of cases. The artifacts there are priceless, we’ve lost so so so much to colonization, knowledge, architecture, culture, artifacts. These areas are delicate and need protection. A lot of the governments in South America have corruption, like anywhere else. The people and land are constantly sacrificed. The Atacama desert in Chile has so so much to protect and they’re mining nonstop for copper, polluting water, evicting eighty year olds and disabled people to make way for construction, piping away their water and plowing through a delicate desert ecosystem. There’s a clothes dump so big there you can see it from space

There’s so so much to lose in South America. If you visit the altiplano in Bolivia, there are native farmers living out there essentially off grid. Chile has many indigenous groups still despite being so industrialized. We still have Quechua, Aymara and Mapuche being spoken every day. The landscape MATTERS to us. It breaks my heart to see the land so disrespected and ruined. The people are connected to the land. You can talk to almost any indigenous group and they’ll tell you the same thing. It’s a cultural thing that was passed down for thousands of years. The shapes the mountains make against the sky, the way a lake sits between the hills, flocks of guanaco and vicuña grazing. The landscape is sacred and old

I know there are ecological battles everywhere right now with the rich and powerful crushing anyone in their way. I just had to say something because this hits so close to home and I ache thinking about my homelands being destroyed beyond recognition. I’m haunted by the sculpture in the middle of Inca ruins that’s an exact tiny replica of the mountains on the opposite side of the valley. The very shape of the rocks is special to us

that's an old article, so here is one with updates. the project keeps getting pushed back, so I imagine there's still time to fight- I just don't know what international people can do to aid that battle

Machu Picchu has always been hard to reach, but a new airport will soon change that and bring 200% more visitors to the area – and some area

400+ people were killed in gaza last night.

my friend tarek has been doing some amazing community organizing in palestine — he’s been teaching classes for children with my other friend farah AND distributing water and providing iftar meals during ramadan throughout rafah! his brother just had a major orthopedic surgery he had to wait about a year for and since food and water is incredibly scarce he can’t properly recover. please donate to their efforts!!!

donate to tarek’s family

donate to provide iftar meals

donate to the water initiative

donate to the challenge classes

quick reminder: tarek isn’t just a word on your screen, he is my friend.

he’s 21, the same age as me. before the war he was studying to be a translator and he dreamt of voice acting, just like so many of you reading this. (he’s pretty good too actually.) he would probably not call himself a poet but every few days he posts something so beautifully worded that he might as well be a poet laureate. he recently wrote: “gaza is sick of being praised by anyone. gaza is tired that its image is on satellite tv. gaza is sick of its name in the sad poems. gaza is tired of the repeated endings.” the message is clear — sentiments are not enough, his people need HELP.

every day i tell him im doing everything i can. and it’s true, i am, but its barely anything, as i’m disabled and bedridden. i’ve kept that fact from him out of shame because i see what he has to endure each day, but i feel SO POWERLESS. every time an announcement breaks that more bombs have dropped in the night or more innocent people were gunned down in broad daylight, my heart sinks with terror and i wonder if i’ve lost my friend. it really would mean so much — not just to him, to me — if you could donate anything you can spare to tarek and his family. he deserves the whole world and more.

yesterday tarek almost got on a water distribution truck that was targeted with bombs. the day before his neighbors had their house bombed (during Eid) and that whole family died. please help my friend

fun fact sometimes languages sound weird to u because they're not commonly spoken, and sometimes they're not commonly spoken because a concerted effort was made in the past to eradicate them from existence. so. maybe not something to play into.

I’ve got the breast cancer clinic later today and although it’s purely a preventative checkup (a benign fibroid was identified on my mammogram a year ago, so they’re keeping an eye on it to make sure it stays benign) my anxiety always spikes like nothing else.

They should invent bodies that don’t get sick.

Boobs are still cancer free 👍

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3

They’re scared because they know that the public is with Luigi.

They’re violating his rights because they need to maintain capitalism.

Keep talking about Luigi.

The document from a state fusion center cites high health care costs as a key source of instability in the country.

“The dossier adds that the public ‘may view the ensuing manhunt and subsequent arrest of Mangione as NYPD, and largely policing as a whole, as a tool that is willing to expend massive resources to protect the wealthy, while the average citizen is left to their own means for personal security.’”
