Happy Black History Month!

From the river to the sea Palestine will be free

Would be a shame if people would call their representatives even more

Like I know it’s not a lot, but even if your representative won’t listen to you at least you can annoy them and what’s more American than that?

Trump Wants Snitches to Report on DEI. There’s Just One Problem.

Donald Trump wants people to expose diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the federal government. The idea is already flopping.

The threat was loud and clear: Report your so-called “DEI” employees or else. What exactly “DEIA or similar ideologies” means is up in the air, but the message was out there. And so was the email address of the DEIA snitching hotline. Fake emails quickly started to roll in. ‘I don’t care, fuck these McCarthyite bastards,” one BlueSky user said, with an screenshot attached of an email to the hotline where he ironically reported Donald Trump and JD Vance for being “put in their positions solely because of their race and/or gender despite the fact that they are wholly unqualified for their jobs and, in some cases, have criminal records.” “Anyone have a script to fire off a billion e-mails an hour??” another user asked in the replies. “Anyone can email anything of any size even if it crashes the site,” one X user noted. The scope and effectiveness of this latest phase of Trump’s anti-DEI crusade remains to be seen.

Reminder: in light of last evening’s bombing of the Gaza Strip, here is the link to Crips for ESims for Gaza

I’d also like to remind folks of the vetted campaign list here.

Please consider donating. I don’t know what else to say to convince people to care. If you are able to, I encourage you all to look into the massacre from last night (Motaz and Bisan have covered them in detail on Instagram; obvious content warning for child death & death in general. Jewish Voices for Peace is also reposting/consolidating information and action steps. It’s sick to say this not the worst we have seen Israel do, but it is some of the most brutal imagery I’ve seen in the past few months.) Be on the lookout for other organized forms of protest most likely to roll out today and the rest of the week. Please be safe out there and please do not let the world convince you to stop caring about Palestine and Palestinians.

Hey so I still see people utterly baffled by how religious fundies (still a majority in America and moreso its senate) react on certain issues so uhhh is it actually not common knowledge what the antichrist is all about? You guys know his defining characteristic is ending war, right? That he’s foretold to unite the world under his leadership by preaching global peace and solving basically every single problem in the world? So you know when you try to talk to these people about equality and togetherness they literally believe that’s what makes you an agent of the devil right???

cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it

To the world, can you become 💔 Santa Claus for the children of Gaza

Can you restore the childhood that has been stolen from them? We are in desperate need of hope, of hands that can reach out and lift us from this nightmare, so our children can live the life they deserve.

Santa Claus has always been a symbol of joy and gifts, visiting homes to spread happiness in the hearts of children. But in Gaza, his role has completely changed. In this image, he appears stunned and helpless, pulling his sleigh no longer filled with presents, but with the bodies of those who perished amidst the destruction.

Santa, who once brought hope, now stands in the heart of tragedy, witnessing a reality beyond imagination. There are no celebrations here, no lights, and no children's laughter. Only screams, tears, and rubble that tells stories of pain.

I am a father living in the midst of this scene. I live in constant fear for my little child who does not know the meaning of life. My infant son Mohammed suffers from an illness and also malnutrition.

Please, my friends, help me, donate to us and publish our story.

Reposting @chasestrangio:

I am reminding myself that my resistance will come through denying the administration the chaos they seek. It will come by remembering that their plans and rhetoric are just the regurgitated policies that we have long defied. It will come through our insistent and urgent love for each other. We have the collective memory and mapmaking to guide us. That does not mean it won’t be scary. It will. It just means we will turn our fear towards care not chaos. Towards building not dividing. Thank you to everyone holding me. I will hold you too. I put my faith in us.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four
