If you have a safe home, offer it up as a meeting place for organizing.

If you have a car, offer to take people to doctors appointments

Form a giving circle for bailouts of your people or groceries and medicine for your people!

Stop being so individualistic but expecting MASS ACTION

Mutual aid, solidarity, and coordination are necessary for sustained action.

We must rethink what value you can bring, because it's much more than we're aware of.

General strikes are BUILT up to. You dont know that because the US killed off every major labor leader in the last 100 years and dont even teach about the labor movement in this country.

Community members organizing childcare, transportation, etc. Organization of mutual aid for medical needs, etc

Israel is not "testing" the ceasefire, they are breaking it, just like they always do.

The only thing Israel has been "testing", for decades, is the moral fucking decency of Western media and governments, proving quite thoroughly that they are the same genocidal racists they've always been.

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

A Rose O'Neill pen and ink drawing, featuring a giant humanoid embracing a smaller one. It is captioned "Man and the Earth."

It’s almost like when you don’t have a rabidly trans-hostile media ecosystem, people generally support human rights.

lens.monash.edu/@politics-so...

A poll, commissioned by Equality Australia in the first quarter of 2025, found that:
• 86% agree or strongly agree that government and opposition should not politicise trans issues for political gain
• 89% agree or strongly agree that LGBT people deserve to live with dignity and respect
• 91% agree or strongly agree that trans people should have the freedom and choice to live their lives in the way that makes them happy
• 81% agree of strongly agree that trans people deserve the same rights and protections as other
Australians.

Two bunnies are on an old-fashioned cablecar, going slowly up a snow-capped mountains. They're looking at the cliffside as they ascend, seeing trees and some pikas who live there.

For sure some of the legacy media outlets are downplaying the protests because they’re aligned with Trump, but I think an even bigger factor is how many elite journalists have a patrician disdain for the idea that politics can happen in the streets and not just the CNN green room.

The reason gullible people believe all protesters are paid is because they can't conceive of anyone giving a shit about anyone other than themselves.

Philadelphia No Kings rally was asked by multiple pro-Palestine organizations to have a Palestinian speaker and just flat out said no so now there's a Palestine contingent going to talk to people and be essentially an internal counterdemo. Super excited.

Ding ding. Lots of protest advice out there, but this is near the top of the list for everybody. No face, no thumbprint, nothing. Passcode only and do not provide it under any circumstances.

Santiago Mayer @santiagomayer.com · 1d

Reminder to disable biometrics on your phone before attending any protests. If police ask for the passcode, you do not have to provide it.

i don’t care what kind of rhetoric anyone is fucking saying. this RUDE tag shit is ridiculous. users can either block someone on their own accord or report an account if they think it violates TOS. but moderation should not be slapping this SUBJECTIVE label on ANY ACCOUNT AT ALL. it’s pathetic.

Rude

Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose.

With libraries, proper search engines, encyclopedias and the like, if they didn't have the answer, you would get a blank in return. You knew they didn't have the answer.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”
