I'm watching two documentaries of one of my familys' villages and Palestinian and 'Israeli' witness accounts from the Naksa and a Jewish tour guide comes to one of the villages (which were the 3 villages side by side, all of them affected) and points to a bathhouse with gravestones all around it. The area of all three villages is now completely demolished and the Jewish National Fund built the "Canada Park" (funded predominately by Canada! Through tax deductible donations!), as well as an Israeli settlement, on top of it. An Israeli woman sits, eating from the trees that my ancestors planted, and she says "this is war. I dont feel the pain from these places, the pain of the people. This is what happens in war." Can you imagine? She sits, eating from my ancestors trees and she says "it doesn't matter to me." The level of selfishness to be so confident in your theft!

In the documentary, a Palestinian elder from Yalo says, holding back tears, that her dream is to go back to Yalo and die and be buried in her home, where her husband died. That was my great grandmothers' dream that was never realized, just a few years ago in a village not far from Yalo.

They talk about how this was a war crime, a crime against humanity. Since '67 we have been having these discussions. Since '48 we have been talking about war crimes committed by Israelis! These are the same discussions we keep having! The same facts we keep repeating! Even Yitzhak Rabin says the same things, that this is war, this is what happens in a war! It's the same things over and over and it's happening in Gaza!

There are people still alive who participated in the ethnic cleansing of these villages. They participated in demolishing these villages. They participated in killing those village members. They participated in the generations of poverty that Palestinians experience. They're still alive and just walking around in Israeli society, encouraging the genocide in Gaza. How can I trust a society like that? Knowing that these people are lauded as heroes for erasing these villages. How can I trust them when barely anyone in this society acknowledges the violence done onto us? Abhorrent violence that they let happen so willingly!

Here are the documentaries. These three villages were ethnically cleansed in '67, and it's shocking to hear the same sort of stories we hear from Gaza today. The same playbook, the same places.

Villages: Yalo, 'Imwas, Bayt Nuba

[crazyintheeast]

Dishorable mentione to the people who said that Clinton would have been the same so they decided to vote for a third party / not vote at all because if you check the electoral college results from 2016 you will see that the election was insanely close in more then enough states needed to flip it. The reason Hillary Lost was exactly because this apathy / ignorance . One that was extensively encouraged by Republican/ Russian trolls

[progressiveprogressive]

Because we hate people for being misled and ignorant now.

Just know those who voted 3rd party don't regret it because Hillary looked like an absolutely horrible person at the time, misinformed or not, manipulated or not, you can't justify the DNC acting like she already had all of the superdelegate votes during the primary before they even voted when they were close to tied most of the primary, not to mention all the other petty stuff they did. Most Progressives who bowed down after that wish they hadn't, and it's only because Biden gave Progressives any kind of olive branch this time that he even won, so at least he understood her mistake. If you tell me over and over you don't want my vote you won't get it. That's what she did, actions speak louder than words.

Illustration about Native American boys who have to cut off their braids to follow school dress codes.

And black people have the same issue when it comes to finding jobs/careers.

[boihedonist-deactivated20171216]

^^^^ yes but it ain’t about us right now

[gloomypunks-deactivated20220717]

this is actually really important and pardon me for doing the cliche reblogging with a caption thing but i want to talk about braids and just how significant they are

to native people (and of course i can’t talk about every native tribe as there are very specific sects and i only really am coming from the perspective of seneca) hair is extremely important as it represents the walking of the Sacred Path as the physical extension of thought and self, and holy men, women and two-spirits are identified through specific styles of dress and even if not holy, the hair shows what a person has participated in, their feelings, their age, whether they are married or not, whether they are in mourning and their tribe

my grandfather is seneca and he had to remove his braids at a very young age and it was an act of assimilation because his mother knew they had to try to be white in order to proceed and it’s a tool of oppression and humiliation to cut (or force to cut) a native american person’s hair for both religious and cultural preservationist reasons

my mom is half-seneca and her choice for me to not cut my hair until i was 13 and for it to be worn in traditional manner was because of this and when i cut my hair then, i cut it off at the base of my head for also this reason; i was diagnosed with depression and was going through therapy, i wanted my hair and my treatment to signify that i was becoming a new, better person– eventually i started dying my hair but that is for separate reasons of colour symbolism and it’s still an important thing to me

please do not invalidate the struggles of other POC, i understand that this happens and it’s horrific to not be able to wear your natural hair, these are also children whose culture and religion is being stripped away from them and they can’t even participate in something so important within their culture simply because of white patriarchal ideas of masculinity

[something-in-the-way-she-knows]

^^THIS

American Indian children (especially plains ndns) were forced to attend boarding schools where they were forbidden to speak their own language and had to cut off their hair and choose a “white” name from the bible. If you refused, the teacher would often ridicule you by ignoring you anytime you attempted to speak or participate in class, to the point of saying offensive, false things about your people to rile you up enough that you gave in and picked a white name so the teacher would let you speak and tell the truth. (This is shown in bury my heart at wounded knee). In fact, it is hard to trace records before the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries bc the govt considered the way native peoples often have several different names that they go by in different context and by different people to be too annoying to record them in a census, another reason they were forced to choose white names.

Being oppressed for your natural hair and the names you choose is a real thing other poc face and it’s wrong and it’s racist, but this specific post is about what it means to American Indians, and for them it was not only racist stereotyping, but forced assimilation and genocide of their cultures.

[kelpien]

dude holy shit being ridiculed for not assimilating was the least of your worries in a residential school. i know people who were forced to kneel on sharp rocks in a corner for speaking a single word in their native language

some fun facts abt residential schools:

• people who went to residential schools were abused physically, sexually, verbally, and emotionally. my mushum went through all of these until he turned 18 and was allowed to leave

• boys were not allowed to wear their braids. period. the point of the residential schools was to ‘kill the indian in the child’ and you can google literal before-and-after images of students that the schools would distribute as a source of PRIDE

• the government would experiment on the students, starving them to see how long they could go without food before it seriously affected them. officially, over 6,000 native children died in residential schools. our government admits the number was likely much higher

• residential schools were literally hitler’s source of inspiration for concentration camps during world war II

• where im working right now, there are people in their 30s who were forced to attend residential schools

• the last residential school closed in 1996, one year after i was born, two hours away from where i live, twenty minutes from my family’s reserve

native assimilation has been the goal from the very start

Or how about you don’t be a sexist?

Men can absolutely ask why they’re afraid, because their fear is trumped up and encouraged to be to the level of paranoia. Women are in SIGNIFICANTLY less danger from strangers than men are.

And frankly, using something that Totally Happened ™ as a reason why men shouldn’t ask women why they’re afraid just makes you an idiot. Nevermind that there’s literally no provided proof that this actually happened, but it’s one man. Who’s behavior is not the norm, as anyone who actually has real life experience with men can tell you. That’s like taking those examples of women raping children and being cleared of all charges AND still legally being allowed around them and using them to insist that women shouldn’t be allowed around children. Since not only will they hurt them, but they’ll get away with it even when the law fucking knows what they did.

It’s taking something that women by and large don’t do and using it to justify fear or hatred of the entire sex. Just like you’re doing here with men. And that’s fucking stupid.

[progressiveprogressive]

If you ask any woman she will likely have a story of a man who either hurt her or made her uncomfortable. That is reality and our paranoia is justified. The reason women are afraid of men is because of bad men. If a man is upset by this he should listen to stories like this and try not to be that guy.

Saying women are in less danger from strangers than men is ridiculous. If men take more risk around strangers of course they’d be attacked more, but no man has waited outside of a grocery store to harass another man, but someone did for my mother. And many accused of sexual assult have people saying what great people they are, so it’s not like personal experience with men means they won’t assult someone. Women don’t know if they don’t know them. If men ask why a woman is afraid it means they fail to understand their reality, they aren’t listening, or they don’t care.

[misshorrorotaku-deactivated2024]

And a lot of the time, they’re either lying for internet points or they were just “talked over” by a man who likely had autism and they took offense to it.

And no, your paranoia is NOT justified. That’s why it’s paranoia.

“The reason men don’t trust women is because women lie a lot. If women are upset by this, they should listen to stories men share and try not to he That Girl.” …. see how fucking stupid that sounds? The entire demographic doesn’t have to cater to your generalizing bullshit just because some of them hurt you. Get your fucking head out of your ass.

Men are 75% of all violent crime victims. BY FUCKING DEFINITION they have FAR more to fear from strangers than women do.

And yeah, actually, there are men waiting to harass other men outside of grocery stores. They just also happen to rob, physically assault, and sometimes kill them too.

HA! They also most often lose their jobs, and are socially ousted by people that believe the accuser without question (which is most people). And when women are accused of sexual assault, they have the fucking law protecting them. They face barely any social consequences at all, and good fucking luck getting an employer to fire a woman for an accusation alone like they do men. They’d be flooded by feminists screaming sexism within an hour (and don’t bother bringing up RICH men to try and disprove this. Rich men mean nothing about men who aren’t rich).

No, if men question why they’re afraid it’s because they rightfully can’t understand why you’re afraid of an entire demographic for the actions of a minority of them. If they were afraid of all women, and treated y’all like crap like you do them as a result, you’d be screaming sexism and be accusing them of generalizing. You’d be shaming them and making jokes about their masculinity, calling them cowards “because women can’t hurt men. UwU”

Even IF they had the same excuse you do for fearing the entire demographic. So fuck outta here with that bullshit.

[progressiveprogressive]

"All women are liars" is a lame comparison but I wouldn't fault a man for distrusting women, just like I wouldn't fault a veteran for being triggered by fireworks. It's trauma. Women have trauma. We are raised in a society that blames us if we get assulted. If a woman is raped in an alley people will say she shouldn't have been in the alley, she shouldn't have put herself in that situation. So when women become extremely cautious of men in defense, they're still wrong, huh?

Here's the thing. A lot of women know there are good men but by saying that they'd be diminishing their own feelings to make men feel better and it would give the bad ones an out. We're the ones who have to experience our trauma and we have a right to feel how we feel. The real allies know who they are and understand that. They know things like the OP post happen, they understand our fear and our pain, whereas you dismiss it as not real and say he's just saying it for attention. The real allies know who they are, they know what they do when they see someone harassing a woman, they know they've stood up to men being disrespectful or creepy. You think all of those anecdotes must be lying? Fuck off.

Don't fucking tell me what I would think of a man being assulted. If anything your assertion that men get hurt more by men just proves men are dangerous in general and my point of how women are more cautious so of course men would be hurt more still stands. But women don't have to be victims of violence to be hurt by men and women often don't report when they are for fear of being blamed for it, or told we're making a big deal out of nothing when we were hurt. It's not just one instance, I just said that to make it simple, it's mutiple. Men have harassed me for walking down the street in shorts, scared me by honking from cars or screaming from bicycles just to get my attention. I've put my trust into someone and had it destroyed in a single moment and never spoken to them again. I didn't report it eventhough I had every right to, because I thought it was my fault and that I would destroy his life. I don't even remember his name but I told another man I couldn't interact with him because he looked like someone who hurt me, and he respected that. Oh, but I must just be lying for internet clout, right? You're an intellectual coward.

The whole mask hysteria is funny since, in my experience at least, the past couple of months ems and hospital staff have ditched most of the ppe unless it's a confirmed case. Most have switched over to cloth or surgical masks since hospital management mandated them in the building.

We were deep cleaning our rigs after every call front and back back in March and April as if we were transferring tb patients. And after going back to standard decon we haven't even had one person out with the kung flu.

Our company mandated masks be worn in the garage at all times (and in the rigs at all times, which no one followed) There are less than a dozen people wearing them, the only ones are the few hardcore (almost suicidal, pack and a half-two packs a day) smokers who cough everywhere and the people who are still freaking out about this (they're now only scheduled together because everyone else got sick of the complaining)

Most of the nursing homes have ditched their covid floors and basically put them in a corner. (At the psych ones they even get their own smoking time, lol)

Most of the dedicated Shanghai shiver's hospital floors are basically empty.

It seems like most of Chicago's new cases are because companies are mandating tests to return to work.

Last month the Starbucks by our garage had a minor panic because almost half their staff tested positive (they were being forced to get tested weekly) yet less than a week later were back to normal.

[abqryan]

Children are less at risk from Wuhan Flu than the normal seasonal flu that we never shut down anything for.

If a particular teacher is at risk due to other conditions they can do remote teaching with a younger and more healthy teacher's aid in the classroom so there is no reason left at all to not open the schools.

[progressiveprogressive]

Children were on break when this all started and the data that says they havn't been dying is soley because schools have been closed. To use that to say they have no excuses is incredibly ignorant.

To say they need to do electronic learning ignores the fact schools are underfunded and different cities may punish people for refusing to return to work. It wasn't a teacher but someone was told they'd have to use their sick days to be allowed to work from home. With the threat by the president to defund schools who refuse to reopen, who's to say a teacher won't lose their job for refusing to go to work, especially if they don't have the means to teach electronically as some lower income schools may not?

Lastly, healthy people can die from this too and the stress and fear from having to work under these conditions could compromise healthy people's immune systems, putting them at higher risk.

[bluejort]

real talk though: my almost 60-year old Jamaican immigrant mother is very much in love with Donald Trump. She's so libertarian, it's frightening. She was not at all raised with wealth and class privilege. Rather, she idealizes herself as someone who will one day attain those things. 

So, there’s a very real subset of people who like Trump not because they’re benefitting from his policies now, but they do hope to benefit from them sometime in the future. Wealth fetishization, if you will.

[thatwriterchickyouknow]

Unpopular opinion but I feel the need to say this as election year draws closer and Democratic candidates are being announced:

in 2020, the ONLY GOAL is getting that orange sludge out of office. 

That’s it. That is endgame for 2020. If you stick your head up your ass so far as to think anything is more important than that at this point, get an emergency head-ass-ectomy REAL fucking quick because we CANNOT pull another 2016.

I don’t care if the Dem nominee is someone you hate, if you’ve voted Green Party for 34 years, if your goddamn mother is on the ticket. If mama isn’t the official presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, then you DO NOT VOTE FOR HER.

2020 is about blocking another four years of nightmare hell. 2020 is about caring about other people’s realities over your “conscience” (read: online woke points). It’s about standing up for every person hurt, every person harassed, every person KILLED by the hate this piece of radioactive bile spews from every disgusting orifice.

ESPECIALLY my fellow white people better take this message to fucking heart, because WE are the ones who fucked this up, ESPECIALLY my fellow white women. You are not allowed to “vote your conscience.” You are not allowed to “weigh the options.” You are suddenly a single-issue voter, and that issue is Trump Is Evil. You are voting to evict, voting to BLOCK. If the Democratic candidate is less than ideal, you suck it the fuck up for 2020.  This election is not, CANNOT be about idealism, about perfection. It’s about starting to undo four years of damage.

So from the announcement of the nominee until November 3rd, 2020, you better be all fucking in. If you don’t like their stances on certain issues, if they’re not progressive enough, if they’ve reached across the aisle too many times, worry about it November 4th. Spend the next four years pushing them left, protesting everything you don’t like, picket the fucking White House if you need to. I will be right there with you. But that starts on November 4th. Until then, we are on a straight anti-Trump train and y’all better not fucking get off it.

[metawish]

Bad idea on my part to post these opinions here but I’ll just do that.

While we still have options for democratic nominees VOTE FOR THE BEST PERSON. I don’t want you voting for the one with “broadest support” or someone who is “willing to compromise”. For people pushed to the bottom rungs of society, we don’t want people who will compromise further our dignity and freedom, we want change and protection. Middle of the line is not going to work anymore. The 2016 elections could have gone FAR differently if we actually LISTENED to minorites and didn’t protect the people who are going to keep corporations safe.

There are many good candidates who fit this, but don’t vote for cops or corporate politicians. If we get the right candidate at nomination time, we can not only get the person out of office, but also actually have a chance at changing our society just a little bit. He isn’t the sole problem and getting him out will NOT fix much of anything. We have to keep actively pushing for our rights and lives to be respected and protected.

[progressiveprogressive]

To add onto this, if we pick the right candidate we have a real chance of beating him, which was the real problem in 2016. It's not just Democrats we have to win over, it's Republicans and Independents and you can't win them with posts like this. We all need real change. Hillary was the worst candidate ever, as in people actively voted against her for Trump on purpose, (I didn't but it's true) so maybe if we're lucky anyone else can beat him but let's not take any chances.

It doesn't seem like there are any serious injuries. The people who were around the truck after it stopped accelerating into people were pepper sprayed.

This is probably the biggest protest movement in american jewish history and it’s getting no coverage. We got hit with a truck DRIVEN BY A DETENTION CENTER GUARD and pepper sprayed and many people ended up in the hospital - one man in his sixties has a broken leg and a potentially broken back because of it. PLEASE REBLOG THIS. THOUSANDS OF YOUR JEWISH SIBLINGS ARE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN THE CENTERS AND WE’RE GETTING ZERO COVERAGE. PLEASE PLEASE SPREAD THIS AROUND.
