polish government has opened a website for ukrainians seeking safety and trying to cross the ukrainian-polish border:

ua.gov.pl

as of 13:10 polish time, it has been said as many people as possible will be let through the borders. they are also supposed to let through children who do not have passports, as to not divide families.

Europe is currently being burned alive and people still think climate change is a joke. It’s warmer in North Europe than in the middle eastern deserts.

Nearly all northern countries broke their decades old heat records this week.

Its only in the low hundreds in farenheit??? In America we get that for like a month or two straight every year??? Y'all need to deal is it really normally so cold over there that yall can live with a little heat???

If you’re gonna have an ignorant American attitude then please only stay on American posts. No one in North Europe has an AC in their houses. Stores, animal shelters, elderly houses, no one has AC. the houses are designed to keep the heat in. The people are not accustomed to the heat. A sudden climate shift like this is extremely dangerous to older people and babies specifically.

There are programs being run to inform elderly people what to do to not die in this heat. There was a heatwave in the Netherlands in 2010 in which approximately 500 more elderly people passed away than normally.

One thing people don’t often appreciate is that the southern US states are along the same latitude as the Middle Eastern deserts, rather than northern Europe. We’re not competing with Texas, we’re competing with northern Canada. If Saskatoon can’t handle Mexican weather, London can’t handle Middle-Eastern weather. It’s not built for it at all.

very helpful and informative graphic

me whenever i look at everyone: why am i the only ugly person

This is the lucky clover cat. reblog this in 30 seconds & he will bring u good luck and fortune.

I come calling for help in my country’s time of need

I don’t know if anyone will be able to read this, but if you do, please spread the information. It is well known, that the polish government is a giant mess, slowly killing our society, democracy and culture (the info was spread thanks to the women’s protests, god bless you, may we continue our fight) What is new however, is that currently there is a law about to pass, that pretty much ends in censorship in our media. Unless the fucking duck, that runs this place is stopped, free media companies, mostly local ones, will die out, because of the new fees that are soon to be mandatory. Those fees will cost polish media up to 800mln zł, on top of the 1 billion they pay every year. This course of action leads to only political stations (like TVP info) staying open. The same stations, that fire journalists for taking part in our biggest charity action (WOŚP). At the moment of me writing this (10.02.2021) most of polish news internet pages only show the open letter to the government and to the leaders. I will later translate said letter, so everyone will be able to read that. Once the news pages are once again open, I will attach links to any articles, and translate as many as I can for wider audience.

Today Polish independent media outlets are doing a blackout to fight for the right of free press. Polish ruling right wing party, PiS, is planning to tax ads sustaining free media with an excuse of fighting COVID-19. Such tax will heavily cut into any profits free media outlets make, bringing down many of them, effectively leaving only government-sactioned outlets, full of hate speech, lies and right-wing propaganda. Please support Poland in their fight using hashtag #MEDIABEZWYBORU (MEDIAWITHOUTCHOICE).

meanwhile TVpis recieves two bilion złotys per year from the national budget to continue spreading straight up lies

one of their most pathetic actions was re-coloring a pride march footage to look like a support gathering for duda’s presidential campaign. and that’s just one example of the shit they’ve pulled

support independent media

I would ask you to read more, but from now on you will see this message on most of the Polish TV stations and online news services:

Yup, here's what it looks like:

In brief:

So, shit is going down in Poland AGAIN. We're now openly being ripped off our most reliable, objective and independent sources of information, because the government is using Covid as an excuse to charge taxes. For refusing to pay the new, ridiculously high tax, the independent media are boycotted by the national press and tv and accused of "tax fraud" and "not caring for the country's healthcare and heritage protection" ???

Please share

A great summary

Ninth day of anti -government protests in Poland over abortion law | 30.10.2020

(via gazeta_wyborcza)

Warsaw makes history tonight as millions of women revolt against the government’s control of female bodies.

26.10.20 - the fifth consecutive day of protests against Poland’s court’s near-total ban on abortion.

they follow a ruling by Poland’s Constitutional Court that abortions, even in cases of foetal defects, are illegal.

it means that abortion is now only valid in cases of rape or incest.

the fight is about the right to choose.
