For those who don’t know, recently it’s been announced that Singapore is going to repeal a colonial-era law criminalising sex between men - Section 377A. It was one of the big goals in queer activism country, and now, we’ve done it! Sex between men is getting decriminalised!

There has been conservative backlash at this decision, and the government is also amending the constitution to protect the definition of marriage to be between a man and a woman to appease religious groups. But though this wasn’t a complete victory, and there’s still lots of work to be done, I’m still glad that we did it! Our queer activists achieved one of their big goals! Holy shit, I’m really happy right now for that, even though I know the fight is far from over.

I hope that queer Singaporeans stay safe in the upcoming weeks. Take care of yourself and each other. Keep hope alive. It’s slow progress, like with anything, but it’s still progress. And though I know the fight is far from over, we will get there someday. Stay strong all!

Whatever your views, I urge you to watch the entire proceedings (this is only day one). This is your responsibility as a voting member of your country, a taxpayer, and a person who, at the very least, values the rule of law.

Advice to the Students

Student movements have often proved to be pivotal in bringing about radical change. From the Civil Rights movement, to anti-Viet Nam War protests as well as more contemporary examples such as Black Lives Matter and, of course, the ongoing student protests against the genocide in Gaza. One thing that all of these movements have in common is that they all faced and are currently facing vicious backlash from those in power, with riot police and even the national guard being sent on unarmed protesters, injuring and killing scores in the process.

In order to maintain this movement and to fight back against the crackdowns, the encampment and protest movements across the United States and the world will need to prepare, organize, and militarize.

Firstly, it is imperative that the protesters know that their action, no matter how peaceful, will be met with violence. And it is in these circumstances from which the necessity to defend themselves and fight back will arise, a series of tactics on resistance will be listed below, I hope they are of use and are accessible to any and all who need it.

Bricks: Bricks are easily accessible to the majority of protesters and can be used in a multitude of ways to disrupt and defend. Aside from the obvious uses, bricks can be alternatively used to build and alter structures in a way that slows down police or national guard advances with minimal violence.

During the Hong Kong anti-government protests in 2019, protesters utilized bricks to build small structures (such as the ones seen above) on roads and passageways. These brick roadblocks are extremely effective at slowing or even halting oncoming traffic. When these structures are hit by the wheel of a vehicle, "the block on top falls and helps buttress the other two."

Umbrellas: Umbrellas, if utilized correctly, can be a great defensive aid if protests become heated. They can be used to deflect against projectiles fired at you by police, such as tear gas cannisters, water cannons, and pepper spray. They can also be used in the construction of makeshift barriers and walls utilized by the protesting parties.

PPE: When attending a protest, encampment, or any form of civil disobedience, it is of utmost importance that you come prepared for it to go south. Police arsenals include a wide array of weapons and chemicals such as tear gas and pepper spray, and the site of the protest might be equipped with cameras that can later be utilized for facial recognition. Wear face and eye coverings to protest from pepper spray and gasses as well as to protect your identity. Always be ready to defend yourself in the case of physical confrontation.

Random Stuff:

• Makeshift barricades can serve as great protectice instalations at best, and serve as a way to buy time for yourself and fellow organizers at worst. In my opinion, they should be present at every encampment.

• Look out for one another, co-operate, and maintain order. From this point forwards treat your encampment as you would treat a small breakaway state. You are under attack, and only through planning and organization can you maintain order and safety for the members of your protest. Everyone needs to contribute what they can.

• Don't bring a knife to a gun fight, be ready for anything, rapid escalations at these types of protests are not unheard of.

Last but not least, this is in no way an incitement to violence. Merely a set of advice protestors can follow to defend themselves and their comrades in these turbulent and unprecedented times. Share this post with those who you think can benefit from it. Much love, solidarity forever 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🇿🇦❤️

It's always nice to see big corporations and wealthy people blaming us regular, poorer people, of the current drought. You use too much water in your toilet, you use too much water in your shower, you eat too much red meat which is an industry that uses tons of litres of water!

Meanwhile: the government is not taking a single effective measure against climate change, electric companies emptying reservoirs a few months ago, golf courses lush green, all swimming pools in hotels and villas full to the top, big agriculture companies cultivating avocados (each piece needs around 600L of water), etc etc etc

These are the precious people of Palestine. Full of dignity love and kindness. They have been living under the brutal occupation of the (now proven with all the evidence) most horrific sick monsters- the Israeli zionists for decades and still didn’t lose their grace 💚 ♥️ 🇵🇸

Meanwhile 🇮🇱 zionists : Always full of 💩 always using swear words , always doing the most disgusting things one can never imagine a human can do , always dancing like rabid 🐷 on the death and suffering of civilians, always celebrating the stuff they stole from the Palestinians. Always devoid of humanity. 🤮

#the amazing people of Palestine #free palestine #israel is a terrorist state #israel is an apartheid state #palestine #gaza #free gaza #israel is committing genocide #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #gazaunderattack #current affairs #israel #middle east #genocide on gaza #news #Youtube
