Hatesquash - GenX-Rage

I want ya’ll to be aware of a situation going down in Tampa.

5 student activists facing up to 10 years in prison on bogus charges.

the fascists are seeking to build their capacity to crush dissent. we cannot allow them to do this unchallenged.

National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression

We are calling on all NAARPR members, chapters, and affiliates to sign & share the petition to drop the charges on the Tampa 5! Drop th

please read about all this and get involved. and reblog!! repost if you want too.

Everyone knows

I wrote a whole ass very detailed post but Tumblr drafts ate yet it's important to get the message out rn at peak hours so here's a summary:

Injuries have risen to 100 btw. PM Auntie called protestors the Bangladeshi equivalent of the Nazis. Injuries are mostly from Dhaka University. Jahangirnagar University was also attempted to be breached (students are currently occupying the halls). Emergency wards are getting attacked. Local media coverage is extremely limited. International coverage is necessary for survival - if BD govt will bend at anyone's whim, it's (unfortunately) the western powers. Big news agency coverages will ensure human rights violations and war crimes will be minimal if at all. Please signal boost. It will be more than helpful if we get international interest in this. Please.

It is almost 4AM It hurts to think how many students might not live to see the sunrise.

internet censorship bill about to pass congress:

ao3 is facing a ddos attack from an overseas right-wing anonymous group because it contains "degeneracy and disgusting things like LGBT and NSFW".

they're not the only right-wing group that is attacking fanfiction sites because of queer & nsfw content. the Heritage foundation, the US right wing think tank that writes laws for republicans, wrote an article about how "big tech turns kids trans" in which they're advocating for the Kid's Online Safety Act to pass because it will give state attorney generals power to sue websites for "potentially harmful content towards minors". in this article they point out websites like wattpad, tumblr, tiktok, twitter as sites that GOP attorney generals can and will target for censorship if this bill passes. all places where fandom, that's mostly queer, hangs out.

if you think this bill has no chance of passing because of all the red flags it poses, think again. it currently has 38 cosponsors in the senate, and is being pushed by the democrats as a "protecting the children!!" type bill.

there are left-aligned orgs in congress rn lobbying for this bill to pass. july is extremely decisive, because if KOSA goes through to markup it'll be bundled with the Earn It act, Restrict, and all the other bad internet bills and passed as a package, completely censoring the internet forever.

if you want to learn more about the bill, go here. also sign the open letter against it here

it's ESSENTIAL that you call your members of congress, specifically Maria Cantwell (you can call from out of state) and tell them DO NOT PASS KOSA. this site here connects you to your members of congress and gives you a short simple script to read off of! super easy and doesn't take much out of your day! please do this now!!

Bad Internet Bills

All of the bad internet bills. One website.

I have quite a few followers here, and I feel determined to bring this issue to light.

200 hostages DOES NOT justify slaying 9000+ innocent people & kids! This is GENOCIDE no matter which side of the world or religion you are on! Where are your hearts?

Some proof that there ARE elected officials out there, like Vice Mayor Sean Cummings in Oklahoma, who are standing up for LGBTQ+ youth like Nex Benedict and calling out the fact that our words and rhetoric DO matter.

[Context: In this video, Sean Cummings is seen speaking to Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters referring to the death of student Nex Benedict].

What happened at UCLA 4/30

@FilmthepoliceLA recorded the entire attack on Pro-Palestine Protesers by Zionist attackers

Link to video

The police allowed Zionists to attack the Pro-Palestine protesters at UCLA and even watched them do it. The attacks were solely initiated by the Zionist side. They hurled fireworks at the Pro-Palestine side, yelling anti-Black racial slurs, and using pepper spray.
