Determined Two-Legged Rescue Cat Learns to Walk, Run, and Jump

Reblog for maximum cute and maximum determination.

I know I’m just an old timer but kids, if you’re out there protesting, for the love of god, don’t check in on facebook, don’t text to random numbers claiming to want to know how many people were there. They know, they don’t need you to text. All they want is your number and personal data so they can keep an eye on you. You are not as anonymous online as you think you are, even if you are not using your real name.

Just…take care of yourselves, and don’t give the authorities any ammunition against you. They have enough fire power as it is.

Also if you’re uploading pics from marches, please be considerate of those involved. If you don’t have express permission to take the picture of everyone involved in the image, blur out their faces. You don’t know who is watching and what kind of shit you might land someone in just because you wanted to post a selfie of you in your pink hat.

IN ALL HONESTY:

A lot of this depends on race. A white woman in a pink knitted hat is not going to be the target of the NSA.

Do be concientious of others, and follow any social media rules that organizers lay out, but the feds tend to save the aggressive surveillance and disruption tactics to large groups of people of color.

Trump’s Muslim Ban Realized

Today on 1/27/17 Trump closed America’s doors to refugees, indefinitely, banned immigrants from several countries, suspended the Visa program, and effectively left untold numbers of people stranded–including those with Green Cards and especially those with no where else to turn who had already been approved to come here.

It is not a ban purely on Muslims, just on specific (majority Muslim) countries, so there’s a chance it could hold up in court.

He signed this executive order on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Even if he didn’t understand the significance of that, I have no doubt Bannon and the other nazis on his staff did. 

This is monstrous.

For years we believed Shia LaBeouf couldn’t be the son of Indiana Jones, but look at him now. Putting things in museums and fighting Nazis.

Getting arrested, assaulting people, being a giant all around douche. Yeah, he’s great <3

[rasec-wizzlbang-blog]

If by ‘assaulting people’ you mean 'pushing a man who was yelling “hitler did nothing wrong” away from himself’

[andalusiapunk]

so my brother was telling me about this human resources certification he attended a while ago. in a panel, the panelist asked a bunch of people in attendance, “who here knows if an applicant for a job is right for it in under 60 seconds?”

hands shot up around the room, people smug about their ability to “weed out the riff-raff” when it came to hiring for their fortune 500.

“you should all be fired and probably in jail,” they said, waiting for the whole room to get uncomfortable, then continued, “because the only things you can really learn about a human being in under 60 seconds are all things that are fueled by prejudices and biases covered by american law. so now, i will teach you how to stop being racist, sexist, judgmental assholes and hire people that will better your company of employ.”

[sourcedumal]

I need this to be force taught at all companies

[antifainternational]

This is a good example of why study after study after study has shown that discrimination against racialized people looking for work is very real.  Oh, and don’t get too smug if you’re not in the USA - similar studies have shown that the same shit happens in Canada, Germany, the UK, Sweden  - basically in every country you can think of. 

[scornpios]

2017 is about finding healthy ways to cope

[scornpios]

I was wrong, 2017 is about fighting nazis.

[memecucker]

“You dont speak for all____” is basically the idpol equivalent of a cheat-code. In theory idpol is saying that identity and lived experience is the foundation of politics and political knowledge but if people from the identity in question contradicts you you can just bust out “you dont speak for all___” as a slam-dunk invincible excuse to veto any claims they make

Why do they want us dead so badly

[alexagent21]

stfu this price on food will keep me alive when I’m starving and putting quarters together to maybe stay alive until my next shift.

[thequantumqueer]

rich people: why is unhealthy food so cheap? don’t they know we have no self-control and will eat this until it causes health problems?

poor people: oh, thank god, something i can afford.

[weird-syrup]

Five bucks can buy you so much more though if you take more than five minutes to prepare it.

[medusaofthesea-deactivated20160]

Umm. Idk where you’re buying groceries, but $5 doesn’t get me anything.

[theunicornkittenkween-deactivat]

Lol they want u to live on salted pasta and nothing else. XDDD God forbid people want something cheap that TASTES good.

Like- if u have more than $5 u can buy lots of things in bulk and per serving it’s cheaper. But for just straight $5??? Fuck outta here. $5 is like the cost of one spice at a grocery store ffs

[periegesisvoid-deactivated]

Yeah for just straight $5 I could maybe buy a bag of rice and a jar of peanut butter, and that’s honestly less complete nutrition than that fast food, which at least has some vegetables in it, some meat, etc.

[an-gremlin-deactivated20160222]

Rich people don’t get that being poor actually costs money. Terry Pratchett summed it up pretty well in one of the Discworld books: “But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.”

[sine-cosine]

In fact, it’s such a good example that one widely used term to describe this socioeconomic bullshit is literally ‘Vime’s Boots’

Donald Trump and his senior staffers are all using unsecured email servers. Right. Now.

If you paid any attention during the presidential campaign, you know that Donald Trump repeatedly harped on Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State. The controversy fueled the common “lock her up” chant at Trump’s rallies. And now something even more hypocritical and enraging about Trump’s staff information security has come to light.

Them: Donald Trump is actually a really good guy for refusing to take the president’s 400K salary. See he’s really not in it for himself or the money!

Reality: Because Melania and Barron Trump will remain in Manhattan and Donald Trump himself will be staying at Trump Tower as much as possible during his presidency, one floor of Trump Tower may be converted into a round-the-clock command post for the Secret Service. This safety precaution will cost the government roughly $1.5 million per year and the money will be pocketed by Donald Trump’s own company.

#this is not normal #you fucking nitwits#the president’s salary is to remind them#that they are a PUBLIC SERVANT#that they are paid to do a job not rule as king#that he’s doing this is spitting upon that very ideal#that is fucking baked into the concept of the presidency#you absolute fucking morons

[dimbosama-deactivated20251005]

It’s also literally something Hitler did.

“… it was clear that Hitler had little use for the modest salary of 45,000 Reichsmarks he earned as Reich Chancellor, or for the annual expense allowance of 18,000 Reichsmarks; early in his Chancellorship, therefore, he publicly renounced both salary and allowance in a propagandistic gesture designed to advertise the spirit of selfless dedication in which he ruled the country.” Richard Evans - The Third Reich in Power

[shamblingshitpickle-deactivated]

it fucking blows my mind when people use the repression of women’s sexuality as an excuse for the objectification of gay men

as though sex between men hasn’t been literally criminalized throughout history

[marvelsmostwanted]

As of today, WhiteHouse.gov is no longer a reliable source of information. Trump is using the platform to spread lies. You might want to check it out to see what his new “policies” are, but the lack of information and the misinformation now present on the website are stunning.

Edit/update/suggestion: Follow PolitiFact on all social media platforms

Is Elizabeth Warren a modern day Hamilton? What can you possibly say that is SIXTEEN PAGES? I’m assuming that’s typed too.

[bananaleaves]

Here’s the letter in question

[lulabo]

That 16 pages includes works cited in the footnotes sourcing every claim she makes about the current state of education in the US, DeVos’s background, and and progress made under the Obama administration. This is not just a letter excoriating a candidate for an opposing view; it’s also a letter that plainly lays out the responsibilities the Secretary of Education will have and the implications of those responsibilities. The footnotes offer links to press releases, newspaper article, and government documents as evidence for Senator Warren’s claims.

Esstentially, this is Senator Warren saying: I did my fucking homework and you can read it for yourself right here; what are you gonna do for our students?
