Friends and I made a website that has all of this info plus a REALLY easy way to send an email to your state reps. If you click the link below and click send email, you can send a letter of support for the SSI Restoration Act to your state reps. It's already written and takes only a few minutes. Seriously it is ridiculously easy. These emails have more pull to reps than resistbot so please fill out if you can!

We also have a Facebook page called "Campaign to Fix SSI" that has this information and regular updates. Here's the link for that.

[image description 1: a pink background with black text that reads "Phone numbers. Call your (1) Representative at 202-225-3121. Call your (2) Senators at 202-224-3121" There is clipart of a Grey phone and a red heart next to the words "phone numbers"]

[image description 2: a pink background with a red heart on the right and black text that reads "The Actual Call Script: Hello. My name is _____ and I am a constituent from [town].

I am calling to wish the [Senator/Congressman/Congresswoman] a Happy Valentine’s Day and ask them to show their love for Americans with disabilities by giving their fullest support to the SSI Restoration Act.

This important bill would promote marriage equality for people with disabilities, update the asset limit for the first time in over thirty years, and tie monthly benefits to inflation so that recipients don’t have to live with an income 30% below the federal poverty line.

I can’t think of anything more loving and romantic than permanent improvements in quality of life for millions of Americans with disabilities. I hope that the [Senator/Congressman/Congresswoman] will work hard to ensure the passage of the SSI Restoration Act during this session of Congress.

Thank you for your time, and have a Happy Valentine’s Day!]

I understand not everyone is able to call for our day of action. The first link in the original post takes you to our letter campaign so you can contact your representatives via email if you are unable to call.

We are really pushing to gain support for the SSI Restoration Act. We are gaining new cosponsors every week but as of now, no Republicans have signed on and many Democrats have not as well. We need more cosponsors and more support. Your representatives need to know their constituents support the act.

We also give regular updates on Facebook at our page Campaign to Fix SSI if you're on Facebook.

Once again I'm asking you to show your support for millions on disabled Americans! Please contact your representatives to show support of the SSI Restoration Act!

Note: This post is intended as reference and I by no means endorse this content whatsoever. I avoid writing out slurs, but be warned of Nazism and references to violence.This list is by no means exhaustive.

Symbols

🌲Tree emojis and ⛰mountain emojis signal ecofascists (more on that here)

Runes in general need discernment, especially when in tattoos.

ᛉ Algiz (see above link and here too)

ᛟ Othala

ᛏ Tyr

Thor’s Hammer, in some contexts

Valknots

ϟϟ SS thunderbolts

88, which stands for HH

14/88 stands for longer shit I don’t want to write

Celtic cross

Iron cross

Confederate Flag

Sonnenrad/sun wheel

Kolovrat

Nazi flag (duh)

Pepe memes

🏛 Temple emoji

SPQR

“Roman salute” (Nazi salute)

Swastikas (technically, the Kolovrat is a kind of swastika, but sometimes that is hidden by Slavic nationalists when they use it)

Words to look for in bios and posts

The suffix “-bol”, ie. nazbol, olbol

“Trad”/”tradition”/”traditionalist” ie. tradcaths (fascist pagans also use this prefix)

“Based”

Folkish, always Nazis.

Odinists, not all Nazis but it’s usually the case.

Obsessions with Valhalla, fighting war for ___ religion/against ____ religion, etc. Usually these types have names like “Warrior of Odin” or something, and post macho Viking posts (this fixation contradicting historical evidence that most ancient Norse people were farmers, among other inaccuracies).

“Ethnic”, i.e. ethnic religion, ethnic Hellene, etc.

Echoes: ((( ))) usually used around names or antisemitic stereotypes

Slurs (reclaimed slurs will usually be pretty obvious in contrast to ones used against others), includes censored variants such as replacing Gs with 6s or censoring with asterisks (i.e. f*g), using gay as an insult, etc.

Monarchists, nationalists (usually self-identifying in their bios)

“Aryan”,“Germanic”, “Nordic”, calling a European group a “race” etc.

“Cuck”, as the kink has strong racist tones itself

“Pagang”, “Yang gang”: This is a newer one that I’ve personally noticed recently. Yang refers to Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang.

Rhetoric is more nuanced with some other terms which I won’t get into here. However, who somebody is friends with or regularly replies to is very informative. Scroll through a bit of their following if you can to see if anyone with these indicators is on there. Keep an eye out for these symbols/images/words.

I found this thread and this followup thread to be very true of what I’ve seen online, and also enlightening about the meaning/context of some of these hate symbols.

Here’s the ADL’s database of hate symbols, which covers stuff not as common in online pagan spaces.

There are tons of nordic and Celtics reconstructionist and folk culturalists that in no way shape or form are associated with or endorse the beliefs of alt right Americans..

This is pretty secular thinking, and totally erases the fact that tons of countries outside America have heavy influences and resurgence in the old ways not to mention have passed down a lot of beliefs through folk culture.

This is a minority, fringe, alt right, American centered group and to act as if anyone who is Nordic pagan, a Celtics or nordic reconstructionist/traditionalist, or someone who celebrates their ethnic folk culture is in some way associated with this totally erases and disrespects people who actually live in these countries, immigrant kids of America trying to keep their culture, and people reclaiming their culture from British colonization.
