On March 22, 2024, Congress passed a $1.2 spending bill meant to fund the essential functions of our federal government. Hidden in the bill were multiple irrelevant measures including an extended ban on funding for UNRWA (the Palestinian Refugee relief agency), sanctioning the United Nations if they investigate Israeli war crimes, and most troubling – authorizing another $3.8 billion in funding and military aid for Israel despite their government openly flouting U.S. and international human rights law.
This bill was bipartisan, passing with broad support from members of both major parties, making our political duopoly fully complicit in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
All people of conscience should be appalled that our lawmakers, without hesitation, sacrificed the humanity and self-determination of Palestinian people as a condition for funding the normal functions of our federal government.
The far-right government of Israel has repeatedly stated their intent to exterminate and permanently expel Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank. Now the American public is directly funding that extermination through the actions of our elected officials.
Benjamin Netanyahu has been exposed on the world stage as a flagrant war criminal, and he deserves to be investigated and prosecuted. But Netanyahu could not conduct his crimes without the substantial and ongoing financial and military support of the United States government.
As such, we demand an independent investigation by the International Criminal Court to determine if charges of war crimes are appropriate for any elected U.S. official providing material support for Israel’s ongoing genocide.
If criminal charges are found to be warranted, we support a prosecution by the International Criminal Court. Add your name if you agree.

You do not need to advertise using the train to me. You do not need to encourage me to use public transport. I already want to. I am desperate.
You DO need to make it so that the train is not 3-5x as expensive as driving. You do need to make it so I can get to the train station without driving and paying a zillion quid for parking. You do need to make it so that trains arrive regularly and at sensible times with connections. You do need to make journeys not take 6 times as long. You do need to make them accessible for those with disabilities. You need to pay your staff and drivers.
I don't know how I can be clearer. LET ME GET THE BUS AND TRAIN.

The only people not voting Green in the next election that I want following me right now are children and non-Americans. Fucking go away if you think it's okay to vote Blue. This is literally the chance to destroy the 2 party system and stop Israel's genocide by voting and you're being compliant in genocide and the broken political system. Fucking get a grip. We actually do have the power to make it go widespread in a year that all pro-palestine advocates should vote green and that would either lead to several green states happening, a significant number of green votes which would still put all third parties on the map, or it would scare the fuck out of Genocide Joe who would have to scramble to call for a ceasefire if he wanted to not lose his whole voter base to a different party, one that would probably align better with their morals anyway. Fucking have some hope and make it go viral, tell everyone about it, or block me. Those are your options. Unless you'll vote green and spread the word for others to vote green, or you're unable to participate in American politics, I don't want you here.
I do not want you here.

Labour are just as complicit as the Tory’s. Apart from Zara sultana I’ve completely lost faith in them since October. They’ve been firing and suspending people for speaking up against Israel and now this. The woman who calls Angela’s feminism out is absolutely correct.
Please tell me people are voting green. 8 months ago I would have said I’m voting Labour but I can’t. As a pro Palestinian person I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I voted for Labour.
Please share this video far and wide

Gonna sound old AF but I'm listening to Any Questions (a weekly BBC radio show where a selection of political people take questions from a public audience).
Caroline Lucas of the Green party is spitting truth bombs every time she opens her mouth and the audience is clapping her so much I think their hands are falling off (as they damn well should)
So why. FUCKING WHY are the Greens not considered a viable party to vote for???!!??!
I listen to a lot of political stuff with all major parties represented, the Greens sadly don't get much air time because they're not a huge party but every single time they're there people go mad applauding what they say!
But whenever I've discussed it with someone, or heard someone from the public actually asked if they'd ever vote Green on a radio show for instance, they're always like "well... I like a lot of their ideas but it's a 2 party system tbh so no I don't want to waste my vote 🤷" which I know is a widely held opinion (and one I've fallen into myself in the past)
IF SO MANY OF US LIKE WHAT THEY'RE SAYING WE COULD JUST FECKING VOTE FOR THEM DAMMIT!!!!

From Green Party candidate @drjillstein (the only candidate openly and actively calling out Israel's settler-colonial impulses and their state-funded genocide on Palestine)

also: as a closeted trans kid who KNOWS they have supportive parents, it's also just plain rude to out people, even when it isn't dangerous. just because it's sometimes safe to do so doesn't mean it isn't telling a piece of highly personal information to your own PARENTS.

The position of liberal that I'm willing to give the benefit of doubt:
"I understand that I will have to vote for Biden eventually but let's try to swing him in the primaries, protest as much as we can to stop the genocide earlier and do everything so that Raytheon cannot produce more bombs to kill innocent civilians."
Okay, I don't think blaming you will solve anything. You're welcome to help us.
vs how almost all of the liberals act:
"Omg you have to vote for Biden because Trump will literally kill me. How dare you to not think about poor me?"
You guys literally survived under Trump for four years. If you cannot survive another four, one morally bankrupt entitled hypocrite less in the world. People who don't care about the death of others don't deserve their well-being being prioritised.

I recently learned about Claudia De la Cruz. I'm happy to see you've already heard about her! Word is spreading! 2024 can be the year we really make a 3rd party candidate work as long as her name gets out there. Please keep spreading it! I don't want the USA to keep hurting the rest of the world.
Yes! I'm not American so I can't do as much as I'd like but this is so important. Yeah the democracy is clapped but right now it IS still a democracy and if we mobilize enough people we can put our votes where are mouths are and get that lady into the Whitehouse. A socialist leader is the only way forwards
The same is true in the UK. Labour and the Tories have become indistinguishable. I know many communities are already planning on voting Green but we need to get that as wide spread as possible

As a climate activist, I’m sickened by some peoples lack of care for the environment.
People saying “one person won’t help” is a false and damaging accusation, there are so many ways that 1 person can help.
For example:
If you have a small back garden (even in a rented property), compost your waste scraps !
Grow your own veg and fruit, this can be on a windowsill but a garden is better!
Walk or cycle everywhere, only use a car if you HAVE to
Stop buying and using plastics! This includes: teabags, toothbrushes, toothpaste and especially plastic bottles or crisps.
Uninstall apps you don’t use, delete social media that involves scrolling, eg. TikTok and Instagram. And delete your emails, the most c02 is produced by using the internet and storing unread emails.
Go vegan or vegetarian, if you can’t do that then shop locally. The meat and dairy industry contributes to most of the c02 in the WORLD. CUT IT OUT.
Avoid fast fashion: stop buying new clothes, bags or shoes. Buy from eBay or charity/thrift shops. It’s damaging and usually low quality.
Shop seasonally, don’t buy things that are not in season!!
Stop using Amazon!! Jeff bezo, is ruining the planet.
Plant a tree in an urban and built up area, it helps the c02 disparate! Making it nicer and fresher to breath.
Talk to your local council members and governments.
Join green activist groups
VOTE GREEN
ACTIVELY TALK ABOUT IT TO OTHER PEOPLE! GET THE WORD OUT.
There are many other things that need to be added to list but these are a few things that I do.
Im scared, you all are but there are ways we can help. It’s not to late to start.
We can save the world and ourselves, by doing the little things on a mass scale!

Full stop I'm gonna start blocking people who say not voting for Biden is bad. We DON'T live in a 2 party system. We live under a pseudo-2 party system. All the other options are viable and possible if people vote for them and I promise it would be possible to get every Palestinian supporter on board and we WOULD probably win. We could even get the other lefists on board because of how much more aligned with modern leftism the Green party is.
All of you fucking idiots are participating in the system that keeps elections broken and then acting like there's nothing you can do.
The only thing that I'll give them is that withholding your vote entirely is a really dumb idea. At least fuckin threaten to go Green, because a mass amount of people switching parties is actually going to scare Biden. He KNOWS Trump is not taking advantage of the people's outrage at Biden and that he's still gonna be the lesser of 2 evils. The Green Party, or any other party we choose collectively, is actually going to be a threat because we're now picking a non-evil. It will. Scare him.

Why do I tell people don't vote for Democrats and instead vote Green party?
I present the current rail strike as exhibit A.
They could have chosen to back the workers.
They did not.
They chose to break the strike. Back against the wall, they are strike breakers.
Fuck them.
"oh but they passed federal gay marriage!"
They did.
The Green party would have done both.
Fuck Democrats
