South Africa to prosecute citizens who served in the Israeli army

'When you come home, we're going to arrest you', South Africa’s foreign minister tells Israeli soldiers

South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Naledi Pandor said that nationals who have served in the Israeli army will be prosecuted upon re-entering the country, as Israel continues its devastating war on the Gaza Strip for the sixth month. "I've already issued a statement alerting those who are South African and who are fighting alongside or in the Israeli Defense Force. We are ready. When you come home, we're going to arrest you," Pandor said during an African National Congress meeting earlier this week.

One way to be an ally to disabled queer people:

If you want to attend a pride event, ask about their accessibility plans and policies.

Ask about their covid policies. Ask if they are accessible to mobility aid users. Ask if they will have strobe lights, if there will be bathrooms, if there is water. Make the event planners consider who they may have left out, even if the person being left out isn't you. Have your friends ask as well. Help create a demand. Help get conversations started. Help people see where things could be more accessible.

Because when we, the disabled, ask these questions? We're much more likely to get ignored, and much less likely to be heard when we raise hell.

So help us raise hell when we need it. Demand to know why your local Pride event isn't requiring masks, or is charging for water, or doesn't have wheelchair ramps, or whatever other accessibility issue you catch.

Stop leaving us behind. We need your fucking help.

Religious fucknut doesn't read their own fucking "holy" text in rush to alienate the "other".

Louisiana will post the Twelve Commandments in schools

The 12 commandments mandated for Louisiana schools are not from the Bible. They're from a 1950s promotional campaign by the Fraternal Order

Hey y'all, there's a great Instagram acct called gogreensavegreen that just released three awesome resources for getting involved in collective action!

I'll include the link, they're going to be updating them and helping them grow, and they're AWESOME. Collective action is huge! Individual action is great for getting motivated, connecting with the earth, understanding resources, and growing passion, but these resources will take you further. I love just scrolling through them.

If you care about this and don't really know where to start THIS is for you. If you feel hopeless about our situation THIS is for you. If you find it hard to find like minded people THIS is for you!

Please boost and spread the word about this. We need as many people taking action as possible, and maybe this will help someone out there find their niche, their calling, their hobby, their action!

sorry but this is important. in a globalized world with more than enough food for all crop failures do not need to lead to starvation.

the world food program estimates it would cost about $40 billion to end global hunger for a year. less than a quarter of elon musk’s current net worth, or less than half of what joe biden has spent funding the genocide of palestinians.

even if there was not enough food to feed everyone, as may happen with climate change and ecological collapse, the choice of who does and does not eat will always be political. the distribution of power is the definition of politics, and that includes the power to eat.

remember that during the irish ‘famine’ ireland was a net exporter of food. it was the bread basket of england. it was only the potatoes that the irish relied on for subsistence that failed. and i’m pretty sure even the blight itself was political, a result of human monocultural farming practices. potatoes aren’t even native to ireland, or europe.

Going from reading the Green's manifesto to Reforms is such a punch in the gut, I think my reading order was perhaps a bit flawed

If you want to read something political, my personal suggestion is the Conquest of Bread. I guarantee you'll get more from it than any political party manifesto.

I think the reason there isn't this big outcry around seemingly random transwomen getting banned is because the fucking CEO of tumblr isn't making it into a big spectacle like he did with predstrogen. Theyre just fucking banning tgirls quietly and ofc its only other tgirls who are noticing and speaking up about it
