These fucking techbros are so fucking childish. "Let's rebuild the twin towers as AI Bots With Lasers" is the most 8 year old idea I've ever heard.

The U.S. has a history of overthrowing our democratically elected leaders in favor of a U.S. backed puppet, and that puppet is our Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, who has done next to nothing to support the people; he’s only there to prop up the international board of leaders in Haiti that only hold the interests American banks in relation to the country.

With Aristide in the early 2000’s, we were supposed to have a government that was elected by the people for the people; a president who demanded that the U.S. give Haiti reparations but the U.S. had him overthrown to protect their interests.

All we want is the power to govern ourselves, and choose our own leaders who actually put the country first and not American banks. We’re tired. We’re angry.

And we see what’s going on in Palestine and we weep because we see the pattern. America is nothing if not predictable.

Be absolutely enraged.

It’s an awful job, and some are paid less than $2 an hour. Workers have PTSD. Are they being offered counselling, support, compensation? Fuck no, they get punished for speaking up.

(Afternoon April 13, 2023) The Missouri Attorney General just used an Emergency Rule to ban all gender-affirming care for people of all ages (yes, adults) in the state.

In order to receive any care, transgender minors and adults alike will have to:

have 3 years of documented “severe” dysphoria

18 months of state-mandated conversion therapy

have zero mental health conditions, most specifically anxiety, depression, or autism

require tests for “social contagion” for 15 years after beginning care

I am a trans person living in Missouri and right now I am making decent enough money to not need support, but please consider donating to these trans-centric organizations in the state:

St. Louis Metro Trans Umbrella Group: https://www.stlmetrotrans.org/#donate

Mid-Missouri Trans Support (PROMO): https://promoonline.org/campaigns/donate-to-promo/

The GLO Center (Springfield, MO): https://glocenterorg.nationbuilder.com/give

And for my trans siblings in Missouri who need help accessing care in their area: https://www.transgendermap.com/resources/usa/missouri/

One last note: this decision was made unilaterally by one man. There was no vote, no bill introduced, no time to even fight it. This is exactly what they want: the quickest possible eradication. If you can’t help financially, please consider blasting the attorney general’s office with phone calls and mail:

When you copy a link (form your dashboard, not from their page), it'll come in the format https://at.tumblr.com/[blog name]/[post number]/[tracking junk] (brackets are just for show, don't include those!)

Delete the tracking junk. That's anything after the post number.

Replace the "at" before tumblr.com with [blog name]. Replace where [blog name] used to be with "post" (no quotation marks).

Your final format should be https://[blog name].tumblr.com/post/[post number]

Share the link! It should go directly to the post and not route through any app store or tracking nonsense.

In case anyone doubts the veracity of this.

her name was jîna mahsa amini. she was kurdish, and her death was partially due to the ethnic cleansing of kurdish people.

No one listened when trans people warned that anti-trans legislation would impact cis people as well, and now this is becoming the norm.

the Supreme Court will soon review the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act.

the ICWA protects Native children from being adopted out of their communities, and it’s under fire bc a white couple is suing on the basis that it’s “racial discrimination” that they can’t adopt a child away from her family, (Brackeen v. Haaland). it’s probably not going to end well.

I encourage you to do your own research, but the point of this post: the Lakota People’s Law Project is assembling a brief, and coordinating with other legal teams on this, including working with the original author of the ICWA.

the Lakota People’s Law Project have a petition you can sign here, and let’s be real, what they really need is donations, (especially since they’re going up against a campaign funded by oil conglomerates).
