I do actually care marginally about the guy in that reddit screenshot who voted for Trump and is now worried that he might lose his medicaid funding because I did not fucking stutter when I said healthcare is a human right but the people losing their internships and job offers to the hiring freeze are straight up hilarious.
‘don’t be political’ ‘I don’t want to see that on my dash’ ‘keep your opinions to yourself’
NO. Absolutely not- over my dead fucking body, you hear me?!
Don’t you dare try to make yourself small, don’t you dare be passive and roll over while they run your country to the ground. I’m not even American and this makes my blood boil, watching all the horrible things happening over there. They have taken your rights. Do you understand me? It is propaganda, plain and simple. Staying quiet just to appease other people is exactly what they want. They want you to remain passive, they want you to hope that things will get better on their own.
here’s the simple truth- it won’t. not unless you do something about it. we all saw it with the UHC shooter, citizens being abused and refused for years, but the second someone leaps into actions, suddenly the gears start turning. I understand that politics isn’t for everyone, and it may very well mentally affect you. but I believe this isn’t the time for that.
YOUR PRESIDENT JUST PUT A BUNCH OF LGBTQ KIDS AT RISK. THE WORLDS RICHEST MAN DID THE NAZI SALUTE AT YOUR INAUGURATION. YOU ARE WATCHING THEM TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHTS IN REAL TIME ON NATIONAL TELEVISION.
for fucks sake, that doesn’t bother you?
this is the time for action. Do not let them take away your voice. Be inconvenient. Be angry. Be a public menace. Be as fucking difficult to the government as you could possibly be.
it could actually save a life.
Ahmed Zandah, a young man from northern Gaza, was forced by the war to flee his home to the south in search of safety for his family. In a heartbreaking journey, Ahmed was displaced more than seven times within the southern region, leaving behind everything he had built. But the tragedy didn’t stop there. He found himself trapped amidst destruction, and his home was demolished, shattering his dreams. Now, he endures harsh conditions, struggling to rebuild his life and provide security for his family.
