As a result of the recent fires in Southern California, eight of my family members have become homeless. Unlike what the media has portrayed not everyone in Malibu is famous or incredibly wealthy. My aunt Phaedra is a single mother with two kids who are still in elementary school, and her home as well as her work burned in the fire. My grandmother, who was living with her, lost her horse, as well as most of her possessions because she doesn’t have a car and thought that some clothes, her dog and cats would be all she needed.
Especially with the holiday season so close, and my aunt now not having a home or a job, it would be wonderful if you could donate or share this post
If you could please share this posts, I attached their gofundme campaigns! thank you so so much
This is inaccurate! Police forces started out as white supremacists. I say this because Americas modern police force started with Slave Patrols. So to say they’ve been infiltrating the police force for decades is partially inaccurate and historically inaccurate. Here’s a great article that sums it up well. It does have the usage of racial slurs in it so beware.
pikachu being a cop means he’s not allowed at pride
Pikachu is a private investigator not a cop and thus allowed at pride and also was there when Marsha P Johnson threw the first brick at Stonewall so don’t you ever disrespect him for a Tumblr post again
Picture One: A photo of the arch at Washington Square Park with a Pikachu balloon floating in front of it. “Fuck You I’m Gay” is written on the balloon in black marker.
Picture Two: A wider shot of the same scene. Now you can see a lot more of the crowd under the balloon. They are all people who just marched in the Dyke March. They are crowded around the fountain in the center of Washington Square Park, but because it is a cold and rainy day far fewer people are getting close to or in the water than they normally would after the march. The Pikachu balloon is now facing in the other direction. On this side of the balloon in red marker are the words “No More Presidents”.
Pikachu making their anarcha-queer politics known during the 2018 Dyke March NYC
Wow the same CDM where they kicked out Jewish ppl for being Jewish? Super radical
that was the chicago dyke march, pikachu was in nyc!
funny how black mirror, a show where nothing good has ever happened to anyone, ever, can give lesbians a happy ending when literally no other show is able to do so
Yeah but they have a eugenics problem so…? Can we stop uncritically praising this show bc they’re on some eugenics bs.
[Me: Hasn’t watched Black Mirror] Does Black Mirror advocate for eugenics or was there an episode that dealt with eugenics?
Season 2 of The Knick had a eugenics subplot. I can’t say that I recall people attacking it because of that.
San Junipero is genuinely fucked up bc they perpetuate the already prevalent idea that disabled people would be better off killing themselves than staying alive.
No, they didn’t. Yorkie was comatose, not just paralyzed. She was given the opportunity to live happily and comfortably in San Junipero. She didn’t exactly die, just her body did.
So the writers worked really hard to make sure she would want to die. Lol ‘she didn’t die just her body and ooh she magically becomes abled how wonderful.” Lol fuck off with this shit
I literally just saw someone say Stan Lee created Cap and Bucky UUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM NO THAT WAS JACK KIRBY AND JOE SIMON, BUT OOOOK!!!???
Also interesting fact: After the release of Captain America #1 by Timely Comics (the predecessor to Marvel) Simon and Kirby were sent hate mail and death threats because they dared to write a character who positioned himself against Nazism and punched Hitler. At one point, people even waited outside HQ to harass them, they had to be under police protection for a while. Simon has said that from his very inception Steve Rogers/Captain America was a means of expressing their political voices because they were disgusted watching the rise of Nazi Germany while the United States did nothing.
Four teenage Jewish boys wearing religious attire were assaulted and robbed in a hate crime Sunday evening, say police.
The 17-year-old boys were walking in Toronto’s north end wearing kippahs when they passed another group of nine people in their early teens, who made derogatory comments about their religion, according to police. The two groups were unknown to one another.
The group then assaulted two of the boys, “punching and kicking them” and stole a pair of sunglasses from one of the victims, reported police who arrived at the scene at 8 p.m. Officers arrested a 17-year-old whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The Jewish community is “deeply disturbed to learn of this vile assault,” said Noah Shack, GTA vice president of The Centre of Israel and Jewish Affairs in a statement. “Jewish Canadians should never fear wearing their kippah in public.”
we should make fun of americans more. why dont their shops include tax in the price tag. like how much does this item cost? its a surprise 🙂
Honestly, tea. I’ve lived here my whole life and I have never once known what my total is gonna be at the register. Total fucking mystery.
im an ex-american living in new zealand for the past two years and it still never fails to blow my mind that i can take a $2 coin, walk up to a counter with two $1 items, and perform the expected transaction
“We believe that the Women’s March USA does not meet the criteria of this award, as its organizers have repeatedly attracted attention through antisemitic statements, the trivialization of antisemitism and the exclusion of Zionists and Jews since Women’s March USA’s establishment in 2017. Women’s March USA does not constitute an inclusive alliance,” wrote members of the scholarship working group, called Critique of Anti-Semitism and Jewish Studies, from the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in a public letter.
The letter stated that “Since its inception in 2017, Women’s March USA has attracted media attention due to the antisemitism of its board members and chair women. Linda Sarsour, a member of the board and former president of Women’s March USA, is notorious for her propagation of antisemitism toward Israel. This transpired not only through her statement from March 2017 claiming that feminists could not be Zionists simultaneously and that Zionists were Nazis, but also through her demonization and delegitimization of Israel, as well as the application of a double standard. She also calls herself a ‘very staunch supporter of the BDS movement.’ These forms of antisemitism were also visible at the Berlin Women’s March in January 2018. The organizers did not show any attempt of critique or disassociation.”
The graduate student academics said Sarsour “also spreads antisemitic conspiracy theories that resemble the classic antisemitic trope of blood libel. In September 2018, for instance, she claimed that when US police officers shoot unarmed black people, Jewish persons responsible would lurk in the background.”
The Friedrich Ebert Foundation said it will investigate the allegations of antisemitism leveled against the Women’s March, according to German media reports.
According to the open letter, “Sarsour, Carmen Perez [another board member of Women’s March USA], and Tamika D. Mallory [co-chairwoman of Women’s March USA who is to receive the FES Human Rights Award], have attracted attention due to their long-standing support of the notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan, who, among other things, called Adolf Hitler a ‘very great man’ while recently comparing Jews to termites.”
As a result of the alleged antisemitism of the organizers of the Women’s March, the Friedrich Ebert graduate school academics called on the foundation “to distance themselves from the Women’s March USA and to revoke the award immediately; to adopt the antisemitism definition of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance; to check future projects, award recipients and any activities concerning antisemitism – with the help of experts in this field; and to oppose any form of antisemitism both within the FES [Friedrich Ebert Foundation] and externally.”
The German daily Frankfruter Rundschau reported on Saturday that a spokeswoman for the Women’s March said the organizers “reject every form of antisemitism.”
The US-based lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender magazine The Advocate wrote on Friday that “Will & Grace star Debra Messing is the latest to speak out against the Women’s March and the fact that its leaders, Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez, and Bob Bland, refuse to distance themselves from the vitriolic antisemitic, homophobic, and transphobic Louis Farrakhan.”
