I'm making this post so @ahmedmahmoud7noor can get notice with his gofundme and get the money that he needs. Any little helps.
dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.
no getting up. no looking at the flag.
everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.
I think the number one worst piece of traditional advice people give about being bullied is to "stand up to the bully."
This only works if you can make a convincing show of force to the bully, if you can convince them that there will be consequences to further attacks.
If you try to bluff a bully and fail (as is very likely, bullies generally have enough social awareness to pick their targets and to get away with bullying), the bully will punish you. Severely. Standing up to a bully with no credible defense or threat gets you pounded.
Instead, gather allies and confront the bully together. Cultivate authorities and destroy the bully's ability to get away with crimes or prohibited actions. Devise asymmetrical ways of retaliating, using any advantages you might possess. If possible, find ways to make your show of force without making an actual counterattack on the bully. That way you can maintain the moral advantage.
Don't escalate. Keep your responses proportional, even restrained, and your mind focused and calm. If you're more aggressive or harmful than the bully, you've either opened yourself up to being seen as the problem, or given the bully a justification to take even more harmful actions against you. Bullies often try to provoke this exact mistake, by getting their targets angry.
If the bully is a powerful group, which can't safely be confronted or resisted, it may be necessary to suffer some retribution, some punishment, and continue to confront or resist anyway, to send the message that no amount of retribution, however violent, will stop your resistance, or change your behavior.

Today, May 18, marks the 80th anniversary of the forced removal of the Crimean Tatars from their native Crimea by the Soviet authorities. This deportation is called Sürgünlik.
Now, in occupied by russia Crimea, the Crimean Tatars are once again suffering from repression. Their homes are being searched, they are being arrested, their culture is being destroyed. Ukraine is doing everything possible to defeat this evil. Because this evil must be defeated. Free nations must be free.

I have family of choice in Barcelona, and it pleases me to learn not just of their struggles, but of their triumphs. Quiero a todo voz.
Me, in America, every single goddamned day of 2025 so far.
May I present your mantra for the next four years.
It's official.📚
They're no longer Teslas.
They're Swasti-cars.
Y'all understand the assignment. Right?
From the people's movement: things you should do to protect yourself and others when protesting
For those participating in today's protests, please take a second to secure your phone.
With all the bad news happening in the world, here's something good:
Two trans democrats in the Montana House of Representatives gave some very powerful and emotional speeches about 2 bills. One was to effectively ban drag and the other would have granted CPS the ability ro remove trans kids from parents.
These dems were able to get 29 Republicans to flip and vote against these bills. In a deeply red state they were able to protect the rights and lives of transgender individuals.
It's always possible. Making connections with people and getting to know them as they get to know you is the best way to broaden everyone's mind. To create empathy and a community. It may be hard, but it is possible to change people's minds. To get them to see you as human.
Tonight House Republicans voted 217 to 215 for a budget that'll take $1 TRILLION dollars from Medicaid, attack food benefits for kids, hurt seniors and vets.
but I don't want to talk about that, I want to talk about these two Democratic members of Congress you've never ever heard of.
Democrats, Congressman Kevin Mullin of California and Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen of Colorado.
Congressman Mullin had knee surgery that didn't go well, two surgeries, a life threatening blood clot and a week long stay in the hospital, and the moment he was discharged from the hospital he got on a five hour flight to DC to vote against the Republicans evil budget, using a walker to get to the floor of the House
Congresswoman Pettersen gave birth to her son Sam, in the picture, exactly one month ago on January 25th. They flew from Colorado to DC after Republicans refused to allow her to vote by proxy after having a baby. Congresswoman Pettersen took Sam onto the floor of the House to vote to protect the Health care of 400,000 Colorado kids.
why talk about this? because so much of the conversion is about telling people there's no one good, no one worthy, no one fighting. I promise you there are people undergoing personal hardship to do the right thing.
First it was members of congress, now it's judges. The trump administration can't get any of their unconstitutional orders through without resorting to threats of violence.
Some judges have required extra security because of rulings made against the current administration. They wanted to uphold the constitution and people's freedoms and are now being punished for it.

This is a reminder that march 7-14 is an amazon blackout. Don't buy from Amazon during this time. Your money has power. YOU have power. When we work together we can show that the actions of this government and companies supporting it are unacceptable.
We demand change.
Tell everyone you know. Support local and small businesses where you can. Support minority businesses. We CAN make a difference.
This is organized by the people's union usa.
