#and before any of yous start i am not a fucking unionist

[richkidcityfriends]

the next time i see americans blindly supporting the fucking ira i am going to kill someone 

#no i actually dont care what they started as #i dont care whether not all of the original ira were provos #because nowadays when you say ira #or tiocfaidh ar lá #or dumb shit like that #no one is fucking thinking of the war of independance #and its all well and good for you to be like #'wah wah its very important to my ancestors' #when you have one great grandfather who went over in the 20s #but you fail to realise that for anyone actually living in the fucking country #or with any real connections to it #that to refer to the ira is to refer to a terrorist organisation #who has killed many innocent people #and before any of yous start i am not a fucking unionist #i do not like england ask anyone who has ever interacted with me #and i understand that they were originally freedom fighters #and that the situation was complicated and nuanced takes are necessary #but what the ira became was an organisation which killed civilians and children #and they are not a group which should be blindly and emphatically supported by people who know nothing about them #other than that they wanted independance #mo rudaí

The level at which Drew Barrymore is fucking up is INSANE

[Image ID: a pair of tweets from from Claire Willett (@clairwillett) from September 11th, 2023 that read:

I know Twitter is not a universal barometer but boy if I was Drew Barrymore’s PR folks I would be gravely concerned about the number of well-known actors on here basically saying “WE WILL NOT BE FORGETTING THIS”

they’ll be skipping your couch on the next press junket, ma’am

unclear if this is a bad-faith question or not but I’ll say that just within the last hour in my own twitter feed I have seen

Joshua Malina

Bradley Whitford

Evan Handler

Anson Mount

Lisa Ann Walter

Roxane Gay

The link in the tweet leads you to the tweet below.

[Image ID: Lisa Ann Walter QT'd (on September 11th, 2023) a tweet of hers from April 17th, 2023 that reads:

Hang out with me & my new sister @DrewBarrymore Tmw!

On @DrewBarrymoreTV

I love her.

And you can tell by my enthusiastic oversharing.

Featuring - the gross recipe me and my High School BFF slapped together.

The tweet includes three tweets with the two of them from Barrymore's show.

The QT reads:

Don’t know why this is going around again-but please note the date: Before both strikes.

I’m a unionist.

I’m proudly re-elected to #SagAftra National & LA Local board. I’m on the NegComm. I chair LA women’s committee and am on WAY too many others. I’m also WGA.

I Don’t X lines

Other tweets that she was talking about:

[Image ID: a tweet from Bradley Whitford on September 11th, 2023 that is a QT of Variety tweeting this article about Drew Barrymore owning the decision to come back and claiming she's not violating strike rules (yes she is because hers is a WGA contracted production). It reads:

Oh, you own it. For sure, @DrewBarrymore. And we’ll never forget it.

/End ID.]

I'm sorry, my anxiety is going up a bit with all of the messiness this post, so I'm not going to do the IDs anymore, and my phone is being mean. But here are others, starting with Evan Handler:

Anson Mount:

Before that he also retweeted Bradley Whitford's tweet, but I'm running out of room.

Roxane Gay:

And there was another one where she rt'd someone basically backhandedly slamming Drew Barrymore for being the host of this year's National Book Awards.

And then, saving the best for last, Joshua Malina has been going scorched earth on Barrymore and reminding people The View is also scabbing. Honestly love seeing it and highly recommend him as someone to follow. A lot of retweets of others as well as original tweets:

He's talking about a hat with the thing that let's custom text scroll. What the person he QT'd is referring to is his hat saying "Drew Barrymore is a Scab".

He actually started hounding her on Sunday, after it was announced very late in the day that she was coming back on Monday.

I love Josh Malina.

Fuck Drew Barrymore.

Also, fuck every celebrity who crosses the picket lines. (This includes Oprah (who also hasn't donated any or her billions to Maui and instead asked others to donate even though she also has a home there which she got through shady deals and wouldn't let anyone use it as a shelter in an emergency) and Brook Shield's who went today.)

(Also fuck other celebs who liked Drew's post about coming back including Lily Collins, Cara Delevingne, Jennifer Aniston, Kristen Bell, and Jennifer Garner and I'm honestly not surprised by the four of those, don't know enough about the first one.)

Another reason to hate Florida 

If Florida wasn't the most fucked up state there was,  now there's this to add to the list. 

This year Florida passed a 15-week ban in abortion even as opponents warned it was unconstitutional so long as Roe stood. They don't care and they are acting as if Roe vs Wade was already overturned. With "Deathsantis" running this shit show here, they are advancing new restrictions that aim to make abortion illegal in as many circumstances as possible.

Right behind them in ass backwards states is Oklahoma, in which a Senate committee approved a bill late this year that would prohibit abortion starting 30 days after the “probable” start of a woman’s last monthly period, before pregnancy tests are considered reliable.

Seriously? Most women don't even know they are pregnant until at least a month and a half or longer. Many women have irregular periods to begin with so this has to be the most asinine law there is.

Other states are trying to ban or make it impossible for women seeking pills that induce abortion. Many  supporters of abortion rights had hoped it would provide a safe and legal workaround in states where it was illegal or all but impossible to get the surgical procedure.

In July, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and with it the constitutional right to abortion, handing anti-abortion activists a victory they have sought for five decades. But from Florida to Idaho, Republican-led state legislatures did not wait. 

I am obviously pro choice, this is your body and you get to choose what you do with it. I don't see any of these right wingers trying to help or give more money to daycare or to these women struggling to have these children if they didn't abort them. They are just worried about stopping women rights. What's next, women's rights to vote or other's rights? Where does this stop?

I was raped at the age of 15, I got pregnant and I sure as hell did want to have a child. I am thankful that I had the option of abortion. It was something I never wanted to do or thought I'd be in a position to do but was grateful that these options were there for me when I needed them. I didn't have to go to another state, although I would have or have a back alley abortion by some quack that made me sterile or God forbid try something myself but if you have no options you'll do just about anything to fix it.

I am speaking on this yet again because the November elections are here and the only way for change is to vote!

So today my friends remember these are our rights and we must stand up and speak out to make sure that all others rights aren't taken away. Whether you are a woman or not we must speak out because one day it may be your rights that are on the line and who will speak out for you. Make sure you get out and vote!

I will leave you with this quote which can be used for everyone, it was during the  Holocaust when the Germans were killing the Jewish people. 

This was the famous poem by Martin Niemoller:

"First they came for the Communists. And I did not speak out. Because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Socialists. And I did not speak out. Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists. And I did not speak out. Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews. And I did not speak out. Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me. And there was no one left. To speak out for me"

"Be the change you want to see"
