The far right have started serious riots in Dublin in response to a stabbing by an immigrant.

I don’t even need to go into how him being an immigrant is fucking irrelevant, and making this about your fascist opinions is taking away the attention from the actual victims. You guys are smarter than to fall for that.

Gangs of white Irish men are destroying the city; setting cars, buses, and shops on fire. They’re posting videos of them laughing as they smash out the windows of buses and shops and loot the place.

This is the right wing’s politics. “Immigrants are destroying Dublin”… says the people actively smashing the place to bits.

Please stay inside if you live in the centre. Especially for immigrants/ people of colour/ trans people / queer people/ any group that white supremacists target.

Hey major shout-out to my fellow trans Jews. This year has been hell and it's hard not to feel like we've been completely abandoned, betrayed, shut out, and made unsafe across the full political spectrum.

I'm so sorry; we deserved better. I hope you're okay and standing strong - we will get through this together 🕎 🏳️‍⚧️ ✡️

#the right either actively or passively wants us dead or disappeared because of our genders #and the left apparently wants us dead or disappeared for being Jews #where can we go? #who can we turn to? #who can we rely on but ourselves? #it's terrifying and excruciating #I'm so tired of begging people to see me as a person #trans advocacy is so important right now and being in trans community is so vital #and yet far too many trans activists and community leaders were cheering on the deaths of my people not three weeks ago #pan-Jewish solidarity is so important right now and being in Jewish community is so important #and yet a disturbing number of the strongest voices advocating for Jewish people's humanity and right to self-determination #are also very right-wing #and refuse to see not even the truth of our lived experiences but fail entirely to see our humanity as trans people at all #so again I ask: where are we supposed to go??

So it looks like Sinema, having gotten her requisite pound of flesh for her billionaire hedge fund buddies (basically, they agreed to keep the carried-interest tax loophole and replace it with an excise tax on stock buybacks), has finally agreed to support the Inflation Reduction Act, otherwise known as the $740 billion "pretty much Build Back Better but we are calling it something different" bill that Manchin and Schumer came out with. If/when it passes, which could be as soon as this weekend, the Democrats will have achieved -- with a 50-50 Senate with two habitual Manchurian candidates, a four-seat House majority, a rampantly fascist opposing party, a Supreme Court openly bent on destroying democracy and personal liberty, and an active criminal investigation into the previous administration -- at least the following:

The American Rescue Plan, aka the first post-inauguration $1.9 trillion Covid relief package, which was the largest investment in the working class since the New Deal;

The bipartisan infrastructure bill, which is the first major structural and transportation modernization and systemic overhaul for the country since the 1970s;

The first significant gun safety legislation in 30 years and since at least the Clinton administration;

Multiple executive orders now signed on protecting abortion rights and access to reproductive care, including travel out of state if necessary;

A bill in the works to officially codify same-sex marriage and thus protect it from SCOTUS;

Reauthorization and improvement of the Violence Against Women Act, including strong new protections for LGBTQ+ and Native American victims of domestic abuse or sexual assault, including the ability for Native courts to prosecute non-Native offenders for sex crimes for the first time in history;

Finally (FINALLY) making lynching a federal hate crime;

The largest climate legislation ever passed in America (this bill), which also establishes a federal minimum 15% corporate tax rate and lowers healthcare costs, including for essential medications like insulin, by, like, a lot;

Passage of the PACT Act, aka expanding healthcare for disabled veterans exposed to burn pits, also the biggest expansion in this field for a generation despite Republicans briefly killing it in an outburst of pettiness;

Consistent big packages of support for Ukraine, rebuilding of foreign alliances, huge bipartisan support for including Sweden and Finland in NATO (hahahaha fuck you Josh Hawley);

The CHIPS act, which creates tech and manufacturing jobs in America and was made even sweeter by how thoroughly they fucked over McTurtle to do it (since oh boy does he deserve a taste of his own medicine);

Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman on SCOTUS, and not an awful white supremacist stand-in like Clarence Thomas, but a genuinely progressive and thoughtful jurist;

Cancellation of almost $6 billion in student loans for the poorest and most defrauded borrowers, such as those who attended scam for-profit "colleges";

And so on and so forth!!!

So like. Please tell me more about how the Democrats are incompetent, their leadership is bad, they are in Disarray TM, you are a terrible person if you support Biden or give them any credit at all, and you're just not excited to vote because they haven't done anything. Like yes! There is a lot more to do! Despite them suddenly deciding to play ball on this particular occasion, Manchin and Sinema still need to be made irrelevant as soon as possible! But as I said, this is happening with the thinnest of imaginable Congressional control, as the other party is literally trying to destroy democracy in real time before our faces. That is not irrelevant.

Also: ruby-red Kansas curb-stomped an attempt to outlaw abortion rights, and approximately 77% of the entire country supports this current bill. The generic Congressional ballots have all shown major movement toward Democrats, and frankly, I have a feeling that we have only just started to see the full impact of post-Roe fallout. So if you get off your asses, quit whining, and put the work in, we could actually win the midterms and then do EVEN MORE!

So yeah. Uh. Food for thought.

i really wish v for vendetta (both the movie and the graphic novel) hadn't become associated with deeply irritating (and often reactionary) online political subcultures bc it really does slap so fucking hard

#re: the movie someone needs to write something about how two very famous and popular wachowski sister projects #(i.e. the matrix and v for vendetta) #became these loci for online far right symbolism and narratives #it's especially weird since both the matrix and v for vendetta could be read as pretty trans-coded #and are both VERY explicitly grounded in left-wing politics........... #i just don't get it tbh #anyway i'm reading the graphic novel now and really enjoying it #v for vendetta #text

I also used to be anti-Israel until last year, as someone who considers myself leftwing (but maybe not anymore...). And the gaslighting is making me go crazy too but it's not just gaslighting! It's worse than that. But when I try to talk about stuff like the actual history of the region and protestor violence to some former friends I had who have gone full Palinazi about this, they just either expect me to fall in line or shut up. When there were first protests in my city here is something that happened to my Jewish friend. I was there. We were walking together and talking about something meaningless, walking around in a neighborhood near where there was protesting going on. Then this bus screeches up, stops next to us, and a bunch of people with "Down with Israel" shirts climbed out and started beating him up. I was punched and kicked too but I managed to avoid brutalization by going for their faces. After figuring out what’s happening, I started attacking them back, getting them off of him. He was quite injured but I called 911 and he made a full recovery at the hospital. I was fine, with only a cut on my arm that they patched up. But yeah, sure tumblr, the protests are "peaceful"

That is fucking awful. I'm relived to hear your friend recovered.

I wonder if "peaceful" pro-Pals reading this all have a surprised pikatchu face on when spreading blood libels, disinformation, conspiracy theories, and death wishes actually lead to violence against people they are about, no matter how supposedly "righteous" the motives are.

It is refreshing that there are still people like you who actually care to educate themselves about historical facts. I do not think you should give up being a left-wing just because far-left has gone full mask off. You can still be a moderate leftist or centre-leftist. Leftism is not defined by endorsing the "right" people to be beaten up, silenced, and killed no matter how much far-left would like it to be.

We had a wind storm this weekend and these two took offense to the wind making Sounds and injured themselves. Artemis (bottom) bruised one side of her face up, but she's acting fine otherwise so she'll probably be back to normal in a few days.

Stan, on the other hand, bruised his left eye socket and was acting Off with a capital O. He's normally not very active, his legs don't work all that great and he can't catch a deep breath because of his messed up ribs and stuff, but he was lethargic and not eating/drinking normally, so I swapped him into Joslin's appt slot today and took him in.

It wasn't my normal vet again, and I told her that Stan is a hot mess, and she felt him up and told me well his abdominal cavity sounds weird, I said yeah he's got messed up air sacs. She goes well, one of his legs is atrophied more than his other, and I said was it his right one because that's the one that was worse as a baby and doesn't work right, and she goes yeah it was the right one. She goes, it feels like his kidneys are too big, this could be a case of gout, we can xray to look for it. Now, I know it's not gout, but an xray will either enlighten her on the fact that I'm not joking about how messed up this bird is, or it will show her what's actually injured, or both.

So she does the xray and she calls me into the back room and she goes well. it's not gout. his kidneys are actually small and I was feeling his messed up air sac. there's a lot wrong here, but I'm looking at his last xray and there's a lot wrong there, and most of it is the same. he got a little better in some ways and a little worse in other ways, but the issue is that it looks like he jammed his hip joint and injured it a little, possibly from landing wrong.

you know. an injury. like from the ultimate panic of the Wind Making Sounds.

Anyway he got some antibiotics against infection and some pain meds and we'll give him a couple of tube feedings until he's not feeling crappy. For now he's asleep in my room on a roost.

#stan the peachick #artemis #peafowl #peacocks #peahens #birds #my pets #animal medical #it always cracks me up to take my birds to the vet #I delivered him to the xray room #set him down #and said if you need him to lie down just #you know #put your hands on his wings by his shoulders and tip him #he'll just let you tip him into lying down #and as I left I heard them doing so #and a quiet 'I wish all birds were like this' #this vet is being trained by my vet I think #I miss my vet she was almost always right #this one is 0 for 2 on her guesses vs mine so far #I adore the techs though #the one came to get a photo of stan for his son and #I said find me a clipper and I'll give you a feather tip for him #and gave him one of Stan's baby eyes

I would never expect people who don't live in a constitutional monarchy to know what the role of a royal is but if you don't know what the role of a royal is, you shouldn't be loudly spouting hateful nonsense about matters of governance in a monarchy.

#I rarely check the tags but it's concerning to see multiple people call for out and out dictatorship #I'm left wing but there are so many people who are so far left they've just circled round to fascism #general royals #swedish royal family

Lucien Greaves' (Founder of The Satanic Temple) opinion on Jewish people:

(Antisemitism TW)

(Note: I don't agree with this. However, I want the information to be shared as much as possible so that people can make up their own minds on whether they want to support Greaves/TST or not. I recognise that TST as a group does a lot of good, but I personally can't see past this)

“Like, I think it’s okay to hate Jews if you hate them because they’re Jewish and they wear a stupid fuckin’ frisbie on their head [correct term: yarmulke or kippah] and walk around [and] think their God’s chosen people, but it’s not okay to hate somebody [‘born of Jewish blood’] just because their parents were stupid fuckin’ Jews and wore stupid frisbies on their head and thought the Jews were God’s chosen people […] Not everybody of Jewish blood is okay with me, it depends on if they follow the Jewish, uh… […] Satanic Jews are fine”

i don't consider myself a punk but the way so many people who call themselves "punk" seem to have no idea what punk is is so... annoying

#rambles #not jojo related #personal #i do like some punk i like the dead kennedys and bad brains (and DG if you count it) but i'm not like a super fan of the genre #my friend just browsed through punk subreddits and stuff and ohh my god what she showed bothers me #why do so many people online think punk just means ''left wing anarchist'' #anarcho punk is a thing sure. but that's very far from all punk in existence #punk is a music genre and subculture with political themes that can skew wildly from artist to artist #the post i saw that annoyed me the most was one calling the sex pistols ''fake punk'' because the lead singer is a trump supporter... #the sex pistols were literally the kickstarter for punk in the UK. are you kidding me. #also the people looking at 80s left wing punks telling n/zi punks to fuck off with ''but n/zis can't be punk!'' #yeah they... can be. and have been for a while. hence why they needed to be told to fuck off in the first place #you can't ignore punk has a very mixed history with both far left and far right groups with ''well i don't think it's REAL punk'' #people getting terms with history wrong bothers me so much

[kosmic-apothecary]

Netanyahu’s not the problem. Many of the people protesting are more radical than he is. Only 2% of the Israeli population thinks Israel has used too much force in Gaza.
