Anyways this whole submarine thing has proven that people on this site aren’t actually able to commit to eating the rich.

#oh no there is a 19 year old on there #he’s a little itty bitty kid who has no thoughts of his own #so he signed a legal document that said you could die in this thing #fuck that #he’s 19 rich kid #he knows exactly what he's doing #they made their decisions to go into that death tube to go to a mass grave of working class and immigrants #these billionaires have contributed to the climate crisis #the so called kid #would have one day also have become another rich person sucking the life out of the world #so fuck him and fuck the rest of them #let the sea take their souls #it is their retribution for the souls of immigrants and working people they have taken #oceangate #titan #titanic

Thinking about Life is Strange 2 and the absolute dust it got paid compared to the other games in the series. It's the ONLY video game I've ever played where someone in the story has Special Magic Powers, but it's not you. It's your little brother. And your father has been killed in a police shootout, and your little brother is just a kid who is so confused and terrified that he levels a whole block with a telekinetic boom. And then you, a teenager just a few years older, have to guide him to safety and try to parent him and help him use his powers for good while also dealing with the same traumas in your own life.

Also, there's a level where you just clip weed buds. Phenomenal game.

#i think about this game constantly actually #i think it mostly got hate because the two romantic options were white people with dread locks #which is a fair thing to hate on #the romance was honestly pretty subpar #but the core of the game? the relationship between the two brothers in conversation with literally earth-shattering trauma? #the other games just arent as emotionally gutting im sorry #and i love the other games too #but god i think about lis2 almost every day #and its been over 3 years since i finished it #i think from what ive read a lot of people found it less accessible than the other games due to the subject matter #but idk i mean im not from an immigrant family and ive never dealt with family death at the hands of police #but this game hooked me emotionally WAY more than the first or third game #its so special to me #life is strange 2 #lis2

far right assholes using horrific murders as an excuse to be horrific to immigrants. fucking disgusting but not surprising . They don't care about these kids, they didnt care about aisling murphy and they didn't care about the sligo murders, they just want to be racist and bigoted.

they take situations and use them to fit their narrative about "immigrants ruining Ireland"

they are using heinous crimes as an excuse for their fucking bigotry

fuck you and fuck your racist bullshit.

and for my fellow irish followers specifically those who immigrated, please be careful

i also hate it when people are like “kev is my fave he doesn’t have a bad bone in his body” no he is an asshole like everyone else and that is fine actually

#he fucked 20+ undergrads when he and v we’re having issues #he is responsible for one man’s death and attempted to kill another man #he exploited undocumented immigrants for cheap labor #and said he was fine with turning out russian whores to feed his family #i could go on #shameless #shameless text

If you support Greg Abbott and what's going on in Texas, I want you to be forced to drag yourself through the Rio Grande after it's been filled with razor wire, and if you get across, I want you to be kicked back in.

A young Toronto father facing deportation to Romania “felt he’d run out of options” and “must have been very desperate” when he made the fatal decision to flee with his wife and two young children to the United States on the frigid St. Lawrence River, says his lawyer. On Tuesday afternoon, immigration lawyer Peter Ivanyi told CTV News Toronto that his clients, Florin and Monalisa Iordache, were scheduled to report to Pearson International Airport on March 29 for removal from the country.

There’s something painfully ironic about all those post saying “the Titanic once again claiming rich people’s lives”

Not to be pedantic but most of those that died on the Titanic were crew and third class passengers. Like they were immigrants. 536 out of the 1500 dead were third class. 700 out of the 1500 dead were crew. All but one of the children that died on the Titanic were third class.

Once again the suffering and death of immigrants are being forgotten for the handful of rich assholes that drown with them.

#titanic #idk. maybe this is nothing but it’s just #so fucking ironic that we always seem to forget about the death of immigrants #be it on the titanic or in the Mediterranean

The AP found that U.S. prison labor is in the supply chains of goods being shipped all over the world via multinational companies, including to countries that have been slapped with import bans by Washington in recent years. For instance, the U.S. has blocked shipments of cotton coming from China, a top manufacturer of popular clothing brands, because it was produced by forced or prison labor. But crops harvested by U.S. prisoners have entered the supply chains of companies that export to China.

While prison labor seeps into the supply chains of some companies through third-party suppliers without them knowing, others buy direct. Mammoth commodity traders that are essential to feeding the globe like Cargill, Bunge, Louis Dreyfus, Archer Daniels Midland and Consolidated Grain and Barge – which together post annual revenues of more than $400 billion – have in recent years scooped up millions of dollars’ worth of soy, corn and wheat straight from prisons, which compete with local farmers.

...Incarceration was used not just for punishment or rehabilitation but for profit. A law passed a few years [after the formal end of the convict-leasing system in 1928] made it illegal to knowingly transport or sell goods made by incarcerated workers across state lines, though an exception was made for agricultural products. Today, after years of efforts by lawmakers and businesses, corporations are setting up joint ventures with corrections agencies, enabling them to sell almost anything nationwide.

Civilian workers are guaranteed basic rights and protections by OSHA and laws like the Fair Labor Standards Act, but prisoners, who are often not legally considered employees, are denied many of those entitlements and cannot protest or form unions.

“They may be doing the exact same work as people who are not incarcerated, but they don’t have the training, they don’t have the experience, they don’t have the protective equipment,” said Jennifer Turner, lead author of a 2022 American Civil Liberties Union report on prison labor.

#this whole article is good read the whole thing #it's extremely important that reporters & activists continue to bring to light the horrific abuses of prison labor #& that we all understand that none of this is new - angola / louisiana state prison is immense & has a vast bloody history #the largest agricultural producer in the state of texas in the 60s was the department of corrections #& as this article points out a rising reliance on incarcerated labor is one response #to the labor shortages caused by unchecked covid deaths + restrictive immigration policy #the whole of american incarceration & labor policy is evil. blood on the leaves & blood at the root

"DYING GIRL FOUND IN CORN FIELD," Cobalt Daily Nugget. December 22, 1913. Page 1. ---- Finnish Girl Expires and Death Mystifies Police ---- (By Canadian Press.)

on the one hand? really hoping the titan just imploded. let's be real they're not going to find the submersible in time and it just seems like a more humane end to have imploded.

on the other hand, do you know who ELSE had to sit on a sinking vessel knowing their time was running out with little to no possibility of escape

#like. I get that the Titanic captures the public's imagination. but it was a tragedy #and it was a tragedy where lower class people were impacted more heavily #and a couple rich tourists going to gawk at the resting place of a bunch of would-be immigrants. and meeting the exact same fate #experiencing a similar terror #well. it's kind of poetic #death #titan submersible #titanic #ask to tag

I know Taylor Swift will likely never see this but if she does I just need her to know that her playing Marjorie is so incredibly appreciated. I can’t imagine how difficult it is for her.

I was at her show tonight, and I started crying a lot during it. My grandmother was recently diagnosed with cancer, and while they did catch it early the type of cancer she has has an extremely high mortality rate. So her potential death has been a lot on my mind recently. And seeing Marjorie live, while making me cry because all of that is happening, it did also remind me that people out there understand and get it.

I actually called my grandmother before the concert to show her my outfit and talk to her for a moment and she was like “I’m so excited that you’re doing this. You’ve been a fan of hers since forever. I hope you have a great time”. And that has just made this whole thing more impactful.

So yeah I just wanted to say that I know that the song must be terribly hard to sing but some of us in the audience really appreciate it. Also to everyone holding up your lights, I want to say thank you to you as well because seeing all of the lights reminded me that even when she is gone that the memories and pieces of her will still be around in some capacity. So truly thank you for that

#hearing Taylor also talk about it connecting to pa through her memories to her grandparents is something I feel so strongly #but also it just means a lot because my grandmother is also an immigrant so the idea of every piece of her being taken from me is deeply #Personal as it kind of feels like part of my culture will be as well which is a weird thing to explain #anyway- beautiful Show Thank you for everything Taylor #eras tour #taylor swift #Marjorie Taylor swift #Marjorie song #ts eras tour #Philly eras tour #death mention #cancer mention
