since i have not seen anybody share information on this here, please pay attention to the philippines right now and provide any support you can. if this bill passes, people's basic rights to free speech will be taken from them.

my partner lives in the ph and she is scared and is being ignored right now by their followers despite how fatal this situation is.

PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR ANTISEMITIC PROPAGANDA IN ANTI COP ART/POSTS. PLEASE PLEASE LOOK.

right now, being anti-cop is NECESSARY, but some people use “anti cop” art to actually depict EXTREMELY ANTISEMITIC, DANGEROUS propaganda

look for:

references to “lizard people”

references to “zealot” “world controlling organizations” etc etc

SIX-POINTED STARS (MAGEN DAVID) ON POLICE UNIFORMS OR SIMILAR POSITIONS OF POWER

large, hooked/downward-pointed noses

kippot/yarmulkes on police/other authority figures (this one should be more obvious, but.. you’d be surprised)

references to israel

triple parentheses

iron crosses on “punks”

i totally, 100% understand the temptation to rb all the anti cop stuff you see. it’s a good instinct. but goyim NEED to look out for these dogwhistles. IT IS NEVER INNOCENT. IF YOU SEE THESE THINGS, IT IS NOT TRULY ANTI COP, IT IS ANTISEMITIC. IT IS COMPARING JEWISH PEOPLE TO POLICE.

Racial Profiling and the Loss of Black Boyhood, by Hussain Abdulhaqq (article)

On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.

tldr: the Internet Archive/WayBack Machine is super important in term of archived content, billions of stuff are on there, and with the current event happening in the world like stated above,without this tool, it will be hard to properly document what took place. It will be easy for certain people to rewrite history. Dont let them.

Due to these costs and our lack of income, our land lady is evicting us. We have ONE WEEK to get our funds together and move out on Friday, June 12th. We have been fortunate enough to almost immediately have found a place to go. We're all set to move in, we just need our security deposit and first month's rent. The security deposit is $275 and first month's rent is $550. With fees from gofundme, we'll need about $850.

We have been together for a year now, and would be devastated to be separated in homeless shelters or living out of cheap motels. We both work very hard, and have just been very unfortunate finding ourselves in this situation from the virus. I don't have family to go to, and he does, but they're back in Guatemala and we would need transport costs to get down there. Our best bet is help from you! With your help, we can gather enough money to move and start fresh as this virus stuff calms down and he can return to work. We're very excited to move into a new place with new people. We are just desperate for your help in getting there.

Without your help, we won't make it. I know there's a lot going on in this world right now, and we're just another thing added to it. But I'm confident that we can do this, and I have faith in your help. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any more questions or concerns!! 

Thank you very much for your time, 

Alex & Kleyton

Tl;dr- We’re getting evicted. Please check out my gofundme! I also take direct donations through cashapp and paypal, if you’d like to avoid gofundme’s fees!

Hey friends! Hope you are all safe! Over on instagram, a user called isokorevieno made a fantastic suggestion: to sell prints of black women I’ve painted, and donate the profits to help Black Lives Matter. I’ve selected 9 paintings to raise funds. All of the profits generated from these prints from now til July 31st will be donated to Black Lives Matter Global Network. INPRNT will also donate 10% of that amount. Find the prints here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/loish/
