California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

i bring more women kissing to your TL

an illustration by Spindle of the characters Asimov (on the right), a half-elf with white hair tied up in a bun, and wearing a blue dress (with yellow accents and a red stripe on the bottom), sitting and kissing Ottilie (on the left), a human with short brown hair tied up in a small bun, wearing a green cardigan (with orange circles print, and white trim), white underwear, and black thighhighs (appearing green due to the tones of the art). She's in front of Asi and leaning on her, kissing back. The kiss is tongue-style

For ex.: Today's excellent piece on intimacy coordinator backlash is paywalled, b/c we paid the writer a fair (if tbh lower than we'd like) rate of $.50/wd, b/c it's the right thing to do to walk the walk of supporting feminist journalism. We believe in paying freelancers in dollars, not "exposure."

This is Metzger's "Operation Appleseed" in action, at least one aspect of it. Arguably the most successful aspect.

Infiltration of police and military services were also included and have had some significant success as well.

Remember, for every person doing frontline work(anything involving active confrontation be it frog protests or anything spicier and more kinetic in nature), there is a critical need for something like seventeen people doing rear echelon work of every skill type.

"So what do you suggest we do to fight Trump?"

Find people in your community who need help, and help them. We all have skills. Maybe it's giving rides to people who don't have cars. Maybe it's going to the grocery store so your immigrant or racialized neighbors don't have to when ICE is around.

‪And VOTING is the only way to get things done. And if you lose, you didn’t vote hard enough. If you vote with all your heart and wish and wish, maybe a majority of people in a swing state or hotly contested district will decide you’re allowed to have rights for a bit!‬

‪Don’t try helping out your fellow community member or protesting or spreading awareness, none of that does anything. AND ESPECIALLY DON’T CRITICIZE ANY DEMOCRATS. Because that is actually the only thing you can say that might impact how people vote years from now hypothetically.‬

This is the greatest system in the world. And voting is the only valid form of politics unless you’re actually in Washington. So shut up and vote harder and BEG the democrats to do pretty please protect your rights, and don’t complain about it ever, or it’s all your fault.

See it’s your fault. You didn’t vote hard enough in your local Bushwick election. That’s how they won Georgia. In four years when you get your only other oppurtunity to ever exert power, you better vote harder. And don’t try to do literally anything else in between, commie.

Wow, I voted so hard, I’m sure my votes in an overwhelmingly blue state I’ve lived in my entire life will have an impact, instead of immediately getting crowded out by politicians serving swaths of farmland states away gerrymandered into the most painful shape imaginable.

They arrested an Asian woman a few years ago for calling Suella Braverman the same thing.

we doing "are nazis sexy?" again like it's 2017? it's 2025. we know the answer is "no" and that the question is (at best) irresponsible and (at worst) deliberately helpful to the cause of nazis.

nobody bangs a nazi knowing they are a nazi unless that person is also a nazi.

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

We're told at least one person was arrested—and later released with a citation for disorderly—by Broadview police for simply being on the Maywood side of 25th at Harvard St outside the ICE facility this morning.

They were documenting agents coming and going as electeds have told people to do.
