cis voice: so are u an it

hey so im an nb trans person staying at a domestic violence shelter for women. im constantly subjected to transphobic and or lesbophobic remarks about my gender and sexuality and recently have to move rooms because my roommate was using the n word and jokingly threatened to rape me multiple times, alongside ganging up on me with another person in the room.

i need enough money to move into an apartment before my exit date in march alongside acquiring assistive devices for my unstable / hypermobile joints which make walking a struggle for me, especially at night. ive been using a cane and braces but they aren’t helping much at all. when i first got here they put me in a top bunk that was impossible for me to get into due to my disability.

my paypal is smallvast@gmail.com and my venmo is #asterlux. anything helps. i just need to be safe. i can’t go back to my abuser’s house and keep myself alive.

America this past week is like:

Resist 45

Last night we watched the interview of Laurence Fishburne on The Daily Show. He never said the name of the current President. He just kept saying 45.

I really like that.

I have this UPG that 45 is an evil magic user and every time his name is said it gives him power. He just strikes me as an abusive ass who lives, not just believes, lives that all press is good press. Like, he’s got bins somewhere that fill up when you say or type his name.

I can’t say it. It leaves a terrible unsettling feeling in me. Ian B and I have been struggling with ideas for resistance buttons at Portland Button Works. We dont want to use his image or his name so I really enjoyed Laurence Fishburne using 45.

45 is now. 45 is one in a series of Presidents. 45 is one in a series of numbers. There will be a 46. I am just going to say 45 from now on.

Resist 45.

IMPORTANT UPDATE TO THE FIRST PHOTO IN THIS SET!

We posted the first photo in this set last week assuming we had a racist bonehead that clearly didn’t understand the full nuances of his t-shirt. Now hearing from SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice) that this guy is actually a Russian SHARP/antifa and is posing in this photo with some captured bonehead war trophies.  

The three other photos are more-recent shots of our Russian friend, who is clearly antifa and on the good side.

Apologies to our antifa brother for the mistake!  Here’s a tip: next time you pose with confiscated racist shit, hang them upside down like London Antifascists did in Dover or burn that trash like FC Rudensk Ultras did so we know for sure what side you’re on!  

The number of notes on that post advocating to not pursue an impeachment of Trump due to Pence is actually horrifying.

1. Pence is running things anyway. Showing the public the man behind the curtain is quite crucial. Remember, when Trump offered vp to Kasich, he told him he’d be in charge of both domestic and foreign affairs.

2. Trump’s temperament is likely to have extremely negative geopolitical consequences in a way that Pence’s wouldn’t. Who do you see as more likely to engage in a ground war along with Russia? Trump already talked about invading Iraq again. And this isn’t touching the nuclear arsenal thing.

3. Pence is not popular in Congress at all. A republican who is hugely hated in Indiana does not really have a ton of political capital, especially since he tanked their economy. A lot of the reason GOP swung to Trump late is because *he* was the charismatic face that was creating this supposed populist “movement” (the marches sort of knocked the wind out of that a little). It’s Trump that is being held up, and it’s Trump specifically the neonazis are looking towards (Bannon wrote his fucking inaugural address). We need Trump, the man, to go ASAP for that reason.

Pence will be our worst president, but he’ll be survivable, he’ll have no chance at reelection, and seeing as he’s already most definitely the one driving policy (Dep of Ed pick was his, almost without question, for instance), we at least need to have that recognized so he can be held accountable.

Pence is not the “real Hitler.” Authoritarian movements prop up one person. In this case it was Trump. The MAGA hats have jack-all to do with Pence, and exceedingly little to do with policy. Which is why Trump, specifically, is the threat to our democracy.

it BLOWS MY MIND to see y’all pretend pence represents even half the danger of trump. pence is a by-the-book, lab-created tea party facebook meme republican, which is by no means good, but still entirely capable of making sure the nation doesn’t start a fucking nuclear holocaust because he’s upset about the way his thighs look in a press photo

Besides, it’s not like any of us cockroach motherfuckers are going to magically stop fighting with Pence officially in the helm. Fuck, guys, WE KNOW HE’S TERRIBLE, TOO. If anything, switching from fighting chaotic evil to lawful evil will allow us to regroup and focus instead of playing fucking whack-a-mole.

tomorrow the senate is voting on jeff sessions + besty devos. jeff sessions is extremely racist + supports the muslim ban and betsy devos will likely plan to cut public education. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM TO VOTE AGAINST THEM.

here is an example of what you should say when you call- “Hello, my name is Jane Smith. I’m a constituent from New York, zip code 10001. I don’t need a response. I am opposed to the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and I strongly encourage the Senator to please oppose any type of repeal. Thank you for your hard work!”

please share this and call your senators!!

buckle up buttercup and make those phone calls, don’t wait til trump makes it impossible for us to express our thoughts freely to our government without any repercussions

WE NEED 3 SENATORS TO CHANGE THEIR VOTES TO PREVENT DeVos FROM BEING CONFIRMED!!!

The vote to confirm Betsy DeVos as Sec of Education was delayed. The hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions will now be held at 10 a.m. Jan. 31, according to an advisory from the committee. And now to act (esp my ME, GA, NC and SC friends)! Betsy DeVos is up for confirmation as U.S. Education Secretary, and many, many educators have expressed strongly that she is not qualified to ensure quality education in this country.

Please consider calling one of the following Republican Senators (key in the confirmation vote) to express your opinion on the appointment. At least 3 of these need to be convinced in order to block DeVos’ nomination. Don’t email. Don’t tweet. Don’t complain on Facebook. Call them!

Then, PLEASE SHARE WIDELY:

If you live in one of the states represented below, PLEASE call YOUR Senator, If you don’t, pick one and call him/her:

Susan Collins (ME) 207.622.8414..&..202.224.2523 Lamar Alexander (TN) 615.736.5129..&..202.224.4944 Lisa Murkowski (AK) 907.586.7277..&..202.224.6665 Johnny Isakson (GA) 770.661.0999..&..202.224.3643 Orrin Hatch (UT) 801.524.4380..&..202.224.5251 Richard Burr (NC) 336.631.5125..&..202.224.3154..&.. 910.251.1058..&..828.350.2437 Michael Enzi (WY) 202.224.3424 Dr. Bill Cassidy (LA) 202.224.5824 Pat Roberts (KS) 202.224.4774 Tim Scott (SC) 202.224.6121 Rand Paul (KY) 202.224.4343

IF the state is one you live in call. They don’t really have reason to listen if they don’t represent you. 

If your state is not listed here, signal boost.

Target those first three. Most likely to be sane. Maybe Enzi and Cassidy, but I’m not as familiar with them.

english teacher: why is there so much conflict throughout history?

me:

The man-free sanctuary will offer up a range of typical beauty services such as hair, waxing, facials and manicures and pedicures, while providing unique services like henna and halal nails and eyebrow shaping.

Quhshi also noted that while Le’Jemalik was created with Muslims in mind, “women of all faiths, races, and ethnicities” are welcome.

This store is in Brooklyn, please support if you can; this is such a huge need for us muslim women.

i’m loving all this violent response to nazis stuff that’s going around but i also want to say like be careful out there because not all nazis are fucking clowns like richard spencer. most of em carry weapons and will not hesitate to cut your ass up and leave you dying in a dumpster. if you don’t know how to fight, don’t take one on without backup. and even if you do know how to fight, watch yourself. i don’t want to see any of you getting killed

Irl these are the same ‘people’ who put up their shitty swastika stickers around towns and hide poisoned razor blades behind them so people cut themselves and get sick if they try to peel it off with their hands so don’t like underestimate what those animals are capable and what they’d be willing to do to you.

yo that reminds me to remind you never to peel off facist propaganda with your hands, that’s what your pocket knife/boxcutter/antifascism stickers are for. don’t trust facists please be safe.

Voiceover actor voice: Please punch Nazis responsibly.

racism tw, Islamophobia tw, sexism tw, homophobia tw, nazis tw, I think I’ve missed some, all the trigger warnings seriously.

In case you’re wondering why I don’t recommend anything GK touches anymore.

A general translation of the article:

“Physically assaulting Nazis makes you a Nazi because even though he is actively working to re-institute precursors to genocidal laws, it’s just his opinion and if you can’t just use logic and reason to change his mind from the ignorant, invented reasons for his hate, then it’s because your stance is weak and wrong. No, I really don’t care that all the logic and sound reasoning in the world wouldn’t change his mind; if it’s not OK for me to run up and punch a Muslim because of the terrible things their coreligionists have done, it’s not OK for people to attack a person that is actually doing evil, because reasons.”

It’s official; her stance is 1000% the “I’m a good person; *I* didn’t actively harm those people. I just stood by and watched.”

Thank you for the translation.

Please note that she has before overtly voiced support for stripping human rights and citizen rights from non-polytheists and thinks monotheists should be persecuted and exterminated.

She’s pretty much the worst.

I will break both my hands on the face of a neo-Nazi before I engage in the bullshit respectability politics springing up from all corners of the pagan and polytheist communities, from self-proclaimed leaders and lay people alike. Unsurprisingly, all the folks I see spewing this nonsense are white.

If you’re content to sit around and preach nonviolence as a spiritual answer or higher calling, go right ahead. Don’t come looking for help when that same neo-Nazi denounces you and yours, though, when those of us who will be first against the wall don’t go quietly. They will not treat you nonviolently.

My queer, trans self did not survive this long to sit on my hands when white supremacists are talking about taking away my healthcare, my rights, and potentially my life, and my spirits did not save my life only to have me allow someone else to take it. 

👏🏾👏🏼👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻PREACH!!! Same here and I don’t particularly care who doesn’t like it. Fuck respectability politics, fuck fascists, fuck Neo-Nazis, and fuck their supporters and apologists.

naked iphones r beautiful but at what cost
