I could end my pain with the stroke of my knife

I could turn my sister's visit into part of a funeral procession

I could deprive my girlfriend of one of her favorite lovers

I could push my debts on to somebody else and just hope that life insurance pays for it

I could prove the FARTs "right"

I bet I could make my dad drink himself to death

Other than that I don't really feel like I would have much of an impact, but then again I'm not even 30 years old

I don't think I will do it, but I sure as hell feel like it might be cool in the moment

This TERF page run by Janice Williams- one of the TERFs who sabotaged London Pride this year- is now promoting fascist antisemitic conspiracy theories.

TERFs really are openly showing their true colours now as they go all out in stoking up anti-trans prejudice ahead of the government consultation closing.

abortion that late should 🚫❌

I did not know that in 7 states in America, you can carry out an abortion the day before you give birth (allows abortion at any time). That’s so fucking disgusting. And other states allow abortion up to 28 weeks. That’s not a ball of cells no more, that’s a damn baby. It’s good that abortion is legal but not the fucking late into the pregnancy 😷😷 nasty

[evilterf]

You do know the reason abortion is carried out that late in a pregnancy is because of fetal abnormalities, right? There’s no woman that stays pregnant for 8 months and then decides “Meh, I’m just gonna have an abortion instead.”

These women are not nasty, they are not evil, they are women who were so excited to welcome their little one into this world. They are women who had a nursery set up and baby clothes bought. They are women who excitedly waited for their due date, took belly photos and updated the world on how their pregnancy was coming along. They are the women who woke up one day and felt that their baby wasn’t moving anymore. They are the women that felt in their gut that something was terribly wrong, just to have their worst fears confirmed.

They are the women who went to a regular checkup to find out that their baby is severely deformed and won’t live outside the womb, or will but only for a few days and suffer terribly the whole time. They are the women who have to make a decision to not let their baby suffer.

Women having abortions that late are not women who just decided to get an abortion 8 months into pregnancy. While that is there right to do so, know that isn’t what happens. Know that that isn’t the reality.

This is really upsetting to read but it is the truth, more people need to know this.

[appropriately-inappropriate]

Something like 90% of abortions are first trimester, which is so early that the medical terminology vacillates between “zygote” and “fetus”, and whatever the name, the thing’s the size of a pencil eraser and has 0% ability to survive outside of the womb.

The remainder are performed in the 2nd trimester, generally as a result of fetal abnormality or a severe congenital defect.

The vanishingly rare 3rd trimester abortions are generally for one of two reasons:

1) the life of the mother is in serious danger 2) the fetus is either dead or dying

So no. Women aren’t just bouncing on coat-hangers at 37 weeks for a giggle, they’re undertaking a serious medical procedure for a heartbreaking reason.

But nice try, jerk.

THISSSSS.

FOR EVERYONE THAT MIGHT BE CONFUSED READ THIS

[lauraannegilman]

Banning a D&C at later points also forces a woman to carry a dead fetus within her, full term. Even if it endangers her life (or, possibly, the life of a still-developing twin).  Because some men think human woman are the same as pigs and cows, and should behave accordingly.

[radwitchescauldron]

I’ve known someone in the position of carrying a dead fetus in her body. The kid had a name and a crib and handmade blankets and a mountain of toys. There were baby showers and a little plastic bath thing and those toys that are supposed to make baby smart. There was even a special backpack for taking the kid hiking.

If the first doctor she saw had listened to her, all that stuff might even have gotten used. But instead, the kid died that night. Her mother carried a corpse in her uterus for 3 days, running a horrible fever and coming close to organ failure.

So go fuck yourself if you think she should have died with the kid. Pro life, my big round ass.

[getoffmyastroturf]

These fucks know nothing. They don’t understand that late abortions are 100% unwanted and break the mother’s heart.

They’re so self-righteous and self-absorbed they are incapable of putting themselves in the woman’s shoes.

[officialweatherwax]

It’s part of the propaganda war against abortion. The “selfish slut who can’t be bothered to be pregnant and doesn’t care about the baby she’s killing” is easy to demonize and people have no problem denying her an abortion. The fact that she doesn’t exist is incidental.

[midoriko-sama]

A woman I know recently had to carry a baby to term, because my Mediterranean, highly Catholic bullshit country has illegal abortion still. Her baby was developing without any brain tissue, and she found this out during her second trimester. She had to carry an essentially brain dead child for five more months, growing larger and larger like nothing was wrong, smiling and fielding questions from those not in the know about gender, due date, all the congratulations that must have hurt so much. She gave birth, and the baby died minutes later. They didn’t even babtise it on time, so now it’s buried in unconsecrated soil, too. Because she obviously didn’t suffer enough.

Now she’s on suicide watch. I hope that makes you feel REAL.good. that no abortion took place.

[i-hate-chick-fil-a]

Not to mention the fact that Mrs. White isn’t qualified to teach. She should be required to take a remedial English course. “I have went”? please. It’s “I have gone”, Mrs. White. 

first, my kid would not sign anything without me seeing it first. 2nd, upon seeing it i would be at the superintendant’s office the next morning. then we would speak to the teacher. black folk gotta nip it in the bud.

[msawesomegeek]

I love politics, and I am gonna call out some bullshit right now.

I would just like to point out, this is for all countries, not just america, china or europe. 

All of you, listen up mother fuckers.

First off fuck you corruption.

Secondly, some medias dont understand why voting is so low.

Maybe it is because (with the exception of the brainwashed) the rest of us have figured out that it doesn’t matter what you put there, the same shit still happens.

Yeah I could vote for someone else. 

Like there is that party of capitalists. 

And that other party who are also capitalist. 

And that third, fourth and fifth party who are also fucking capitalists

I mean stop me before you get confused about who to vote for.

Can we also just talk about how fucking dumb it is to pick a team before you hear the question?

Like people ask me are you a liberal? Conservative? Socialist?  And then get weirded out when I say: well depends on the fucking question.

When it come to the elders and healthcare and education: fuck yeah I am a socialist.

When it comes to taxes and owning shit, and some economic theory, fuck yeah I am a fucking liberal.

When it comes to idk patriotism I guess kinda a conservative. I am not really into that religious shit they got going on…

On a little note here: Stop being mad about everything. Humor is gonna offend people. If people are being mean on purpose, but forcing them to take down something they meant as a joke is going to destroy our freedom of speech. And yes a joke may not be funny, but that is on them.

REFUGEE CRISIS

When something has been going on for so long, it is no longer a fucking crisis.

Stop calling it the refugee crisis!!!

And instead of figuring out how to deport people and how to stop people coming to our countries, how about looking into why the fuck they are running in the first place. And here is a wild idea. Maybe fucking fix that! 

I you dont want refugees in your country maybe try fixing their normal one.

Now I have 3 very important things to say about refugees.

1. If you dont want someone in your country because of their religion or skin color, you are fucking ignorant asshole. There is one very important thing you forget a lot. WE ARE ALL FROM THE SAME FUCKING COUNTRY! If you weren’t too cooped up in your fucking fantasy novel or as you like to call it: the bible. To pay attention in science let me educate you real quick. Earth has tectonic plates that shifts the land around and creates land. We all come from the same land called Pangaea. So shut up, technically this is their country too.

2. Why are we only allowed to have 2 opinions on refugees? Why when you read/hear about it, you can either be a hippie who unrealistically wants everyone in the country. Or you can be a bitch and want no refugees. Why cant we have some? Why cant we as a country fucking do our part for people in fucking need. Because if we dont cooperate the earth will melt, and then those people have a boat and we don’t. 

3. Remember that they are people. I have studied refugees and it is very fucking easy to let them become numbers who are moving across a map. They are not numbers. They are people, with lives, families, love and wisdom. To all of those anti abortion fuckers who say shit like: what if that kid had the cure for cancer. What about that actual born kid who was just sent back to a fucking war zone? What if they had the fucking cure for cancer?

4th. (soz I know I said three but just a little one real quick): STOP DEPORTING CHILDING TO COUNTRIES THEY WERENT BORN IN AND PROBABLY NEVER HAVE BEEN TO!

The education system, please stop reducing us to numbers on a paper, and pay us to go to school. So that we can one day grow up and do better than you. And then maybe we could also cure your cancer.

STOP shooting kids and I mean of all religions and color.

Treat the elders better. They dont deserve shit food and living badly, they fought the fucking nazi’s off. 

It basically all boils down to this:

Stop looking at people like they are numbers. They are not a number of refugees, they are not a voting count, they are not statistics, they are not expenses. They are not grades or money. They are human beings!

So stop being an asshole and start treating them like so.

New York Times: Brett Kavanaugh Is Trump’s Pick for Supreme Court

The nomination will set off a furious confirmation battle, as the retiring Justice Anthony M. Kennedy has held the decisive vote in many closely divided cases.

Trump’s next pick for the Supreme Court is Brett Kavanaugh, best known for his work during the Starr investigation into Bill Clinton, and for his time as an aide to George W. Bush.

Kavanaugh is certainly a conservative partisan, and his time working for Bush catapulted him to a nomination to the US Court of Appeals, where he dealt with contentious confirmation hearings and credible assertion that he was “too partisan.” It took 3 years to confirm him.

Many of his positions are boilerplate conservatism. He opposes net neutrality and consumer protections, arguing against labor rights. But his more radical positions are rather shocking. He believes that assault-weapons bans are unconstitutional, something that even a conservative like Scalia didn’t believe. Incredibly troubling is his history as “an unrelenting, unapologetic defender of presidential power.” Considering that Trump is being investigated, those beliefs will likely be front-and-center as he goes through the confirmation process.

His position against voting protections is especially jarring, as he wrote the opinion upholding the GOP voter ID law in South Carolina. He will certainly contribute to more voter disenfranchisement in the future.

Also worth noting, for all that see Kavanaugh as a genuinely good guy, that during the Starr investigation he wanted to ask Bill Clinton about the specific places he ejaculated onto during his affair with Lewinsky. Seriously.

So remember I said Ron Paul is racist and a ton of “free thinking” and “rational” bloggers jumped to his defence and tried dogpile me?

Y'all still gonna defend this guy, or what?

White supremacists and police have never been asked to commit to nonviolence. That’s only ever been asked of victims.

[aberrate]

sustainability as a concept done on an individual basis shouldn’t be framed as planet saving because it’s. not. you can’t save the earth by planting your own tomatoes, because the destruction of the earth is due to corporations

what you CAN do is use individual sustainability to gain a level of independence from capitalism for yourself and for your community through things like sharing grown food

[ferryman-of-the-highseas]

I am so fucking fed UP with rich people.

Theyre hurting our economy, because they *need* to have millions (or in some cases billions) of dollars tucked away into a bank. They can survive off of the interest alone.

The thing that pisses me off about this, is that this money is not going back into circulation, and so working class people arent making enough to support themselves. Or are barely doing so.

That money could be spent in stores to help the employees make money, to then spend and take part in the economic cycle.

Im disgusted by this.

I also do not understand why they cant use that money to help other people. From a fucked up corporation perspective, certain investments wouldnt hurt them financially at all, and could increase their reputation with communities, therefore securing support for their products. And they dont have to be political about it.

For example, harvord has enough money tucked away they could run indefinitely without charging tuition. (Which is so fucked up and a whole other rant)

But if they were to give, say, gallaudet university [the only deaf college in the world; that people travel all around the globe to attend] that kind of funding, to run indefinitely, that company would FOREVER win the support of the deaf community. They would have their unrelenting support. And that isnt political. It would give them a positive reputation with other communities, too. And in the long run be a wise financial investment.

They could fix flint and win our hearts.

But nah. That money is better suited to fucking sit and collect dust.

in lieu of whats been happening with detention centers and the discourse surrounding concentration camp/nazi comparisons and whether thats accurate i want to say this. jews in europe in the 20s-30s and jewish immigrants in america at that time had more in common with latin american immigrants now than they did with white christian americans/europeans now. the narrative that previous european immigrants coming to america were the ‘good’ immigrants, who assimilated, learned english, found “honest” jobs etc, while latin american immigrants now wont is false. and its false in two ways. 1. jewish immigrants (as well as southern and eastern european) are not a monolith, they did not uniformly assimilate, and they were not considered “good” immigrants at the time 2. latin american immigrants today are not uniformly not assimilating. i dont want to make this post insanely long by pasting in the research leo chavez has done on data challenging stereotypes about latin american immigrants in his book “the latino threat: constructing immigrants, citizens and the nation” but i will give a link to a pdf of the chapter that details it here, it starts on page 28

but anyways, the details of who assimilated quickly vs who didnt is unimportant, as is basing the worth of immigrants lives and humanity on how willing they are to assimilate to anglo-american standards. what is important is that this narrative that mythologizes the lives of past immigrants in order to degrade current ones has no basis and heavily depends on racism and who is considered as white

the phenomenon of positioning previous waves of immigrants as better than the current is nothing new. during the second and larger wave of jewish immigration from eastern europe, the popular narrative was that the earlier wave of mostly western european jews and gentiles were the good immigrants, and the newer wave (specifically the newer wave of jewish immigrants) were poor, uneducated, backwards people who associated only with themselves and didnt care about being american. “According to early twentieth century American opinion, the newest immigrants had little interest in embracing the values of their new home. […] They would make no commitment to American ideals of freedom, and their low level of cultural development would prevent them from grasping American ideas. They clung together in urban enclaves, learning little about America, its language and its values. […] In the histories of both general European and Jewish immigration, according to the accepted historical narrative, the first group quickly assimilated to American standards of behavior. The latter group, Jews in particular, have been seen as markedly different, emerging in history and memory as more urban, more “ethnic”, more “Jewish,” and more resistant to change than the Jewish immigrants of the earlier decades. (Hasia Diner, The Jews of the United States) and obviously this is similar rhetoric employed against immigrants of color today

strangely enough, despite the hatred and disgust towards jewish immigrants that existed well up until the 40s when america sent boats full of european jews fleeing certain death back to the nazis, the dead victims of the holocaust are held up by racists today as a group that that shouldnt be compared to anything contemporary (read: latino people being rounded up and held indefinitely in detention centers right now) lest we disgrace the sanctity of the holocaust. in reality their reasons for this arent as pure as genuine care for the murdered, its because theyve become palpable as people they can sympathize with now that theyre dead. and part of the reason jewish victims of the holocaust are now a group white american nonjews can sympathize with is because of

historical revisionism and public amnesia to how jewish immigrants were thought of and treated by white nonjewish americans and europeans during and before the holocaust

jewish assimilation into whiteness, where now past victims of the holocaust who werent considered white at the time are now, and are therefore a group that white gentiles can see as humans similar to themselves, while they refuse to do the same for latin american immigrants today. once our ancestors are safely within the realm of being white in the minds of white christian america today, they can pretend they always would have cared about us

many of our great grandparents were poor, they were religious and superstitious, they spoke mostly yiddish and knew little english, they did not have access to education and many had trouble writing, they lived in majority jewish areas in where most people around them spoke their language. some of them were people fleeing oppressive governments and restrictive legislature, some of them were just looking for better opportunities for them and their families. many crossed the border illegally when leaving eastern europe to get to somewhere that could take them to america. their experiences and the demonization they faced is more similar to that of latino immigrants today than to white gentiles who will only care once they might be affected.

every white gentile today who supports separating families in detention centers and deporting immigrants, who wont take a stand against ice, whos watched people get rounded up in front of them- no matter how much they decry nazism, would have thought the same thing they think about immigrants of color today about jews had they been alive then. and every white jew who agrees with them today, whos too blinded by their position of safety within whiteness, would have been turned over to the state by their white goyische friends. demanding that we not point out the very obvious connections between the way the nazi state functioned and the way the american state is functioning now isnt protecting the sanctity of the holocaust, its disgracing what “never again” actually means

[determinate-negation]

also i just wanna reiterate, as i said i think pointing out the similarities in rhetoric between european and american antisemitism/xenophobia and american racism directed at latino immigrants is warranted and good but its not just that its the same rhetoric, the reason that rhetoric was possible in the first place was because of jews being seen as outside of whiteness. the racialized aspect is essential to who is constructed as the enemy
