palestine has taught me how easy it is to normalize genocide when it's so close to you

us americans currently live in a state actively continuing the largest genocide in history against its indigenous people

rightfully so, leftists and people with a moral compass are deeply disturbed by what's happening to palestine, and i think it's in part because we're outsiders not yet desensitized to violence against palestinians

but we also turn a blind eye to reservations where the government is actively depriving indigenous communities of adequate land, food, independence, sanitation, drinking water, and who continues to aid the collective forgetting of indigenous culture

north america was a whole ass world y'all, with civilizations as significant and massive as rome, and we know basically NOTHING about that world because our government has actively destroyed and buried it

the genocide is still ongoing; indigenous people are still here, fighting to preserve their culture and languages, and it's happening right now in your backyard

if you ever wanna know how israelis can live with themselves being so close to an ongoing genocide, you probably already know

[onetrackminded]

some very true statements from talesfrommaurea

one of the most radical things we can do is contribute to spreading palestinian culture and documenting its history, because if we've learned anything from the indigenous genocides, it's that erasure upholds the forced disappearance of a people

do not stop talking and learning about palestine

do not stop talking and learning about indigenous peoples

[queeranarchism]

On another 'learn about the genocide your own government is still doing in your on country' note: Europeans, do not stop (or start) talking and learning about how your government treats Rromani people.

[houndmother]

many of you just. genuinely don’t believe that people can grow and change.

[houndmother]

this is about the death penalty and its also about call out posts about people who have already apologized for things they did a long time ago and it’s also about using ‘toxic’ or ‘abuser’ as if its an immutable class of person, and its also about any other circumstance with permanent consequences or wherein you assume someone is still the same person they were.

Stop pretending that trans elderly don't exist or are incredibly rare. No, they did not all die from aids/violence/suicide. We have the data. Most trans people survived. Your trans elders are erased, excluded and isolated. Go find them and have tea with them.

I agree with the general sentiment here, but the way progressive Americans bring up veterans will never cease to amaze me. "You know what will make my sentence about housing the homeless MORE sympathetic? If I change the noun to indicate that this particular homeless person was a murderer."

This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

"Trans people deserve rights and bodily autonomy because they aren't mentally ill-" hey but what if mentally ill people deserve rights and bodily autonomy too have you considered that because you should

It actually really fucking sucks that the two options for much of the internet now are either "get added to a massive database that makes you easier to identify and therefore target, put self at greater risk of identity theft" or "lose access to accounts and access to large parts of the internet".

From what I understand, the risk isn't that sites will know who you are (as it seems a lot of the time they just recieve the result of identification) but moreso that by going through the verification process you are entered into a database that enables things like facial identification. It's not so much the sites you have to be worried about, it's the cops and military, who the data get sold too.

Like, the blunt fact of the matter is that even if the system is blatantly and transparently fucking evil, if I need to find a job and a LinkedIn account would help with that, I legitimately might just need to submit to it. The threat of unemployment might force me to have to relinquish what tiny slivers of privacy I still have left. I'm definitely not doing it yet, but at a certain point I may not have a choice. How fucked is it that they have the power to coerse you into compliance like that? And all for the sake of an evil corporation. Everything is just evil dogshit now, and the ineffectual protest of someone like me doesn't actually achieve anything. Nobody else seems to actually have the power to challange this at all, the vast majority of people seem to accept it and even support it, they don't care. We appear to be in the minority here...

Current state list as of July 10, 2026. This is going to keep spreading because the current cause of unknown. Avoid all raw fruits and vegetables and wash everything very carefully, including your hands and surfaces that come in contact with produce. Trust nothing.

[red-mercer]

The cause is known: farmers aren't giving farmworkers a place to go to the bathroom or wash their hands

Because I feel like kids of color don’t hear it enough: domestic abuse is not a part of your culture. 

A lot of us were raised with the idea that “its normal for wives/children to get hit! it helps them learn– only white folk don’t get beaten when they misbehave”. That’s not true, white people aren’t the only ones who deserve a safe and abuse free environment. Black and brown people can and do have loving families. 

If you’re in a situation where you are enduring abuse and people use your culture to justify it, I want you to know that what they’re telling you are lies.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

as someone who studies this: statistically speaking, child abuse (including “spanking”, because all forms of hitting children are abusive) is pretty much equally prevalent in households of all racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. so yeah, don’t let people use the “culture” excuse on you, but also, don’t believe others are experiencing it less just because it’s less normalized in their culture to talk about it. we all gotta work together to fix this shit.

Listening to the radio while they report on the SCOTUS ruling yesterday that states can ban specifically trans girls and women from girls/womens sports programs. The people they interview: a trans boy with his cis mother and a trans man. The trans man says one of the things that hampers progress is "no one talks to us." Idk man the radio station didn't talk to any trans women, they talked to you, a trans man. Seems like they are pretty willing to talk to you and not the people this ruling actually directly affects.

[autismking]

feel the need to add: trans men, if you are given these types of opportunities, to speak on trans rights (or losses thereof) over a trans woman who is more affected by them than you, it is your *responsibility* to decline and, if you’re able, suggest a trans woman instead. if you are asked to be in a leadership position in a queer/trans/progressive organization and there are no trans women in leadership positions there, it is your *responsibility* to either decline in favor of a trans woman or decline until they bring in a trans woman.

if yall want trans women to stop accusing you of transmisogyny, stop speaking over them, stop shoving them out of the way, stop accusing them of being predators, stop complaining that you’re more oppressed than they are, stop being fucking transmisogynistic!!!!

[trans-girl-nausicaa]

generally speaking, the cooler and better your offline political activities are, the more important it becomes that you do not post about it on your personal social media acconts

When it comes to Palestine, the sacred laws of journalism are bendable. Optional even. Passive voice is king. Omitting facts is standard. Fabrication is permissible. Journalists become stenographers, and reporters become state secretaries, as they parrot police and military narratives. They tamper with evidence. They muddle, mislead, and misconstrue, manufacturing consent for ethnic cleansing and creating confusion around murders that are clear as day. The courageous industry that boasts of speaking “truth to power” is but a bullhorn for the powerful. We have seen this time and time again. It is almost satirical: anchors reject the data before their eyes to recite lies, and newspapers read like caricatures of themselves. When a 2014 Israeli airstrike on a cafe in Gaza blew eight Palestinians to shreds, the headline from the New York Times was “Missile at Beachside Gaza Cafe Finds Patrons Poised for World Cup.” Whose missile? Whose gunfire? Who is the sniper?
