PLEASE DO NOT THINK FOR EVEN A SECOND THAT YOUR VOICE WILL NOT HAVE AN IMPACT THIS IS LITERALLY THE BARE MINIMUM
I'm sorry for putting this in the BLM and stop Asian hate tag but in the last few days posts tagged with "Palestine" have not been showing up.
If you're celebrating Biden's win, consider celebrating by donating to a bail fund, planned parenthood, or the Navajo Water project.
Your action to help the marginalized shouldnt end at presidential candidates and voting.
just heard the new number is ~9000 arrests of protestors in the US so i think today would be a good day to donate to bail funds if you have not already!!
and if you don’t have the financial ability to give money right now, this is a playlist I made with YouTube videos that the ad revenues go to black lives matter foundations. run it without an ad blocker on your browser and don’t skip the ads
I believe this only works if you live in Arizona (correct me if I’m wrong) but please spread so people can email the senator to stop this
i live in texas and put in my actual address, it worked just fine for me!
This is a US senate bill, it works for anyone in the US (I put my Utah address and it sent to the Utah senators.)
the USPS is now REMOVING MAIL SORTING MACHINES. the shit is hitting the fan. i need to reiterate that signing petitions or texting a number that sends an email isn’t going to cut it. dont send complaints to louis dejoy’s office or any bullshit like that. don’t waste your time. people who live in the US need to CALL their Senators and House reps. you need to post about this constantly. you need to make a big deal about this with friends and family. get them do it too.
if you want to save the USPS i am BEGGING you call your representatives directly to DEMAND they co-sponsor and vote for:
1. the Delivering for America Act (call HOUSE reps). This attempts to reverse the bullshit Trump is doing.
A new bill aimed at reversing organizational and structural changes undertaken at the United States Postal Service by the new postmaster gen
2. USPS Fairness Act (call SENATORS). This is a MAJOR repeal of the bullshit the Bush admin and the Republicans did in 2006 that fucked over the USPS in the first place.
All Info for S.2965 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): USPS Fairness Act
3. HEROES Act (call SENATORS). This is the coronavirus omnibus that includes IMMEDIATE USPS relief. Make it clear you want the USPS portion to be included.
Yesterday, the 13 House Committee chairmen with jurisdction over coronavirus relief introduced major legislation to, in part, provide emerge

Across the country they’re blocking Internet connections, protesters came out for a PEACEFUL protest to defend their voice and their right. People are tired of this dictator. Polling stations across the country publicly announced the results of voting to residents of these areas, and almost everywhere Svetlana is the winner. But officially, government representatives declare that 80% of the population SUPPORTS LUKASHENKO. This is not true. Our television and all media resources spread terrible and untrue information, calling the protesters bandits and accusing them of causing injuries to law enforcement officials. In fact, the police and all the armed forces last night used rubber bullets in all the cities of Belarus (this has never been used in the country before), water cannons, stun grenades, and so on. The President himself today brazenly lied and said that the police and others used rubber bullets only once. But according to unofficial data, more than 50 people are in hospitals with wounds, burns and other injuries.

ENLìL Wind turbine
seeing this makes it look like such an obvious thing that should be installed all over the place.
“The turbine is designed vertically with long blades. It covers less area on the ground and is easy to handle. It can easily be assembled and disassembled which makes it durable. Solar panels are fixed at the top of the turbine to generate extra electricity. The device is capable of producing approximately 1 kilowatt per hour of electricity. A single ENLIL turbine can easily provide the average daily electricity needs of two households.
Apart from that, the turbine also contains inbuilt sensors like carbon footprint sensors, to detect earthquakes and IOT platform. The safety and comfort of the city are also ensured.
The turbine can be installed in parks, near seashores, rooftops, households but the roads are the ideal locations for the device. The big vehicles like buses can provide a lot of wind energy. The speeding vehicles on the highway can provide enough wind for these turbines to work all day and night without stopping. The energy generated can be transported to places or it can be used for maintenance of roadways.“

prayers are great but here are organisations you can support and donate to after the explosion in beirut, lebanon. as of right now august 4th 2020, 10 bodies have been recovered and hundreds are injured, and entire neighbourhoods including hospitals have been destroyed. we’re already in an economic crisis and famine on top of covid and our government, as usual, has done and is doing nothing to help us, much less the refugees. we still don’t know what or who set off the explosion. we have 1.5 million syrian refugees and 300k palestinian refugees who also need help.

I cannot emphasize enough, museums/zoos/aquariums and the like are at an incredibly dangerous point right now, and it’s breaking my heart that not only is it happening, but it’s happening so much more quietly than it deserves. The main people I have seen sharing information about the crisis museums are in right now are others in the field, and while I know it’s not out of malicious ignorance, because people love these places and don’t want to see them gone, it’s scary that these places are dying with so much less fanfare than some of the other institutions threatened by the current situation in the US.
I came across an article from NPR the other day suggesting that unless something changes, ONE-THIRD of museums in the entire country (a loose term that includes certain places like aquariums as well) could be dead before the end of the year (source). A third! Can you even imagine the incalculable loss? And it goes so far beyond the services museums generally provide to the public, like field trips or a place to go on the weekends – not that those aren’t important. But museums do so much more than that. If these places die, where do their collections go? Often there’s no one else who can take them in, and as someone who has spent a significant amount of time in the bellies of museum collections, most people have no idea how many specimens or artifacts would become homeless and in danger of being lost forever. In the case of zoos and aquariums, what happens to their animals? Another friend of mine mentioned on Facebook the other day that the Aquarium of the Pacific is not only in dire need right now, but that a person they know who works with them has said that if they close, they’ll have to euthanize a significant number of their animals. And for the places that do survive, they won’t be unchanged. The science museum I used to work for isn’t in danger of permanently closing – yet – but still had make the incredibly difficult call to do a 39% reduction in staff positions, meaning that even when they reopen, the jobs that I and over a hundred and fifty people held before the pandemic – educating, running programs, engaging with visitors on an extra personal level – won’t exist anymore. Another friend of mine doing a museum studies degree has said that even the Smithsonian (the SMITHSONIAN) had to make a similar call and many of her friends doing work there are now jobless.
Your local museum isn’t getting help from the government. Museums, zoos, and aquariums have had to beg desperately for stimulus money that hasn’t manifested. These are non-profits, that rely on revenue from visitors and memberships for the most part, and as they are responsibly staying closed for everyone’s safety, they aren’t getting visitors. Without some form of help, they are going to drop off the face of the planet, or appear at the other end of this as gutted shells of their former selves.
If you want to help, you have two options: get money into the hands of these places directly, or put pressure on your representatives to offer museums and other institutions like them some kind of federal stimulus money. If you can afford it, this is a great time to get a membership to a place you love – many of them are even offering special online programming for members, so it’s more than just a donation. Or you could make a donation, if that’s a more practical amount for you to spend, because at this point anything helps. And if you can’t do that (or even if you can), yell at your senators and representatives to do something. Many places even are offering guidelines for the sorts of things to talk about, like this script from the Monterey Bay Aquarium (although repetitive scripts are less likely to have an impact than individual e-mails, something is still better than nothing, and you could even read over it to figure out how to formulate your own message).
I’m not usually one to beg people to signal boost something, but it’s breaking my heart that this issue is being ignored. Every day it feels like I have to explain these places are struggling to someone else who didn’t know it was a problem, and while I don’t blame them for not knowing, I want people to know. I want people to be aware that we are at risk of losing some of our most valuable cultural and educational institutions, not find our after all this is over that they’re gone. Please talk with people you know about what’s going on. We need our museums. And right now, they need us too.
an activist in austin, tx was shot and killed last night(july, 25th) during a march in solidarity with portland. a man who was running people over and shooting from his car into the crowd shot him while he was defending his wife and others at the protest. his name was Garrett Foster.
Here is a link about what happened also with a link to support his wife, Whitney Mitchell(who is disabled). She lost her primary caregiver for over ten years and the love of her life.

Please sign this petition to stop this clown-looking motherfucker.
A July 21, 2020 update on signatures.
I haven't seen many people saying this, but he's likely created this story on purpose, to change the search results for the terms "mark Zuckerberg Hawaii."
That's now the top result, pushing this down
This was a calculated move by a pr team.
See a pattern?
This is really an issue of class. Public schools are reopening because the government wants the parents of low income kids to continue working and risking their lives doing “essential jobs.”
Meanwhile schools that primarily serve upper middle class and wealthy kids will not physically reopen. Plus, parents with the time, money and ability to homeschool their children or switch them to private will not be sending their kids to school in the fall.
Schools reopening is pretty much exclusively an attack on low income kids and their families. And the teachers and staff who serve them.

Hey yeah this is very important.
Amongst some of the things than could happen are:
• Downloading, and distribution of PDF files would be illegal, as well as photocopying books.
• Downloading files for academic investigations would become illegal.
• English, robotics, and engineering workshops would become illegal.
• Costs in education would increase.
That last one is particularly important because sadly, Mexico doesn’t have a great public education system, thus, many people have to enroll into private schools and most of them are very very expensive. Sadly almost half of the population here lives in poverty, in consequence many children aren’t able to go to public schools. let alone costly private schools.
• Amongst the things that would turn illegal too, would be electronic repairing businesses, and only those businesses with authorized licenses could work.
• It would be illegal to add components to electronic devices, such as RAM memories, better processors, amongst others, regardless of the fact that said components were bought legally.
• Maintenance costs would increase as it would be illegal to fix your own electronic devices, even if it’s just a small touch up.
If things weren’t already bad, the way we use the internet would be affected.
• Access to internet would become more expensive, new taxes would be added to platforms as well as media.
• Internet providing services could block the access to downloading images, music, videos, books, pretty much any content that could be found on the internet, including memes.
And last but not least.
Internet censorship.
“If someone points out any post or publication that violates authors rights, said post or publication must be hidden, eliminated, or disabled without previous notice, proof, or any jurisdictional order coming from the internet provider (…)”
Thus anyone, corporations and organizations, could demand for anything to be deleted and there wouldn’t be any reason to stop them as they would protect themselves with alleged authors right accusations.
Overall, our government looks forward to silencing us, keeping us quiet and not allowing us of freedom of speech.
This can have awfully consequences, as we would be silenced for expressing our political views and content would be manipulated to fit a certain political narrative.
369 votes were given in favor to this law, 0 against it and 1 abstention.
I am asking for everyone out there to please share this. My future and many others would be greatly affected by this law, many people could lose their jobs and fall deeper into the ever growing line of poverty that Mexico has.
We can’t allow for the government to keep us silenced and censored.
