Queer Folks And Other Minorities (including Women!!) Are Hurting Right Now. You Feel Betrayed By Your

Queer folks and other minorities (including women!!) are hurting right now. You feel betrayed by your compatriots and that's completely understandable. What I'm about to say does not challenge the validity of your feelings.

Some Trump voters are racist and bigoted and that's why they like Trump. Statistics and exit polls show this statistic is lower than you'd expect with a 51% popular vote. For most Trump voters, they're voting for economic reasons. They have been lead astray by media and institutions they trusted. Their opinions have been manipulated. Their lack of understanding about economics and politics has been exploited. They don't really like the racism or bigotry but it's not a deal-breaker for them (in exactly the same way as literal genocide wasn't a deal-breaker for Harris voters).

A lot of Trump voters who don't understand Trump wasn't the reason the economy was better 4 years ago are about to get a rude shock. They're about to lose their healthcare. Their benefits. Their family and friends are about to be deported. Their daughters, wives and other family members who can get pregnant will be harrassed and perhaps even have their lives put at risk by abortion bans. They are about to discover what they really voted for.

IF YOU WANT CHANGE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, YOU MUST EMBRACE THEM AND WELCOME THEM INTO THE ANTI-TRUMP FOLD.

YOU MUST WELCOME THEM.

YOU CANNOT TURN YOUR NOSE UP AT THEM AND MAKE FUN OF THEM AND CALL THEM STUPID BIGOTS.

One of things often cited in focus groups that turns people off the democrats is the elitist snubbing of 'stupid people' or 'uneducated people'. Uneducated does not mean immoral and bad, it just means someone who's easier to manipulate and is therefore more likely to be a victim of a manipulative campaign.

Beating facism depends on people making alliances with other people who have wronged them in the past. It means teaming up with people who are 'problematic' or don't have perfect politics.

When people start realising what they voted for, hold your nose and comfort them, and accept their apologies if they give them. Validate their betrayal, and then talk about what happens next.

Building alliances is a stepping stone in defeating fascism.

Hello, I am Heba Al-Anqar, 21 years old, a university student. My university was suspended due to the war. I am writing about my family: my father Bakr (54 years old), my mother Alaa (46 years old), and my sisters Aya (18 years old), Amal (15 years old), Muhammad (13 years old), and Maryam (8 years old). We have faced many challenges in this war, from the destruction of our home to the famine we continue to suffer in northern Gaza.

My father suffers from heart problems. He had open-heart surgery when he was 36 years old. He also suffers from cartilage problems. He had his pelvic joint replaced about two years ago, in addition to other health problems. He cannot work due to his health condition.

My mother also suffers from asthma and shortness of breath, in addition to the difficulty of obtaining treatment due to the conditions and the war.

This is our house, which was destroyed by war

We have become homeless in places of refuge, in addition to the difficulty of obtaining medicine, food, and daily expenses

I created this account to request your help in this difficult ordeal by donating to meet the necessary needs, as we were relying on social assistance before the war.

My goal is to help my family live in safety and provide the necessary necessities for living, as there is a high cost of living and difficulty in obtaining necessities. We ask for your help in leaving the Gaza Strip to save my family’s life. The cost of travel is $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child, in addition to travel and accommodation expenses of $500 per month.

Together, we can support Heba and her family through this ordeal. Your donation, no matter how big, can make a difference in my family's life to get life and start a new life

Alright Chat How We Feeling About A Scarecrow Cosplay?

Alright chat how we feeling about a Scarecrow Cosplay?

This genuinely took me a week to make and the needles were so hard but GODDAMN

This is very heavily inspired by Jorge Jiménez's version of him. Thank you for your time

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

Please Stop Trigger Tagging With #epilepsy Tw/cw/warning/etc.

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!
