Enemies Vs Cowards

Enemies vs cowards

With few exceptions, it is more accurate to divide most politicians into two broad categories: Enemies, and Cowards. The enemies are those politicians who are legitimately opposed to your policy goals. The cowards are those politicians who may agree with your policy goals, but will sell you out if they must in order to protect their own interests. Embrace the idea that we are simply pushing to elect the cowards, rather than the enemies. Why? Because the true work of political action is not to identify idealized superheroes to run for office. It is, instead, to create the conditions in the world that make it safe for the cowards to vote the right way. Under this framework, you can set aside the tedious feelings of disappointment that come with holding moral views while also supporting any politician. Will your favorite candidate do something bad? Almost certainly. After all, they are cowards. The onus is on us to give the cowards a soft path to the moral choice. The education necessary to equip citizens with the facts; the persuasion necessary to move public opinion to the right place; the organizing necessary to mobilize people to fight for the right thing. These things are the substance of “politics.” Elections can be seen as just another organizing task, one in an endless procession of efforts necessary to arrange the chess pieces of power in a way that will, eventually, produce the righteous outcome.

What to boycott NOW to help stop Israel’s unfolding genocide of Palestinians in Gaza

What to boycott NOW to help stop Israel’s unfolding genocide of Palestinians in Gaza
BDS Movement
We call on our supporters to strengthen our targeted boycott and divestment campaigns to maximize our impact!

Reminder that boycotting DOES work, there is historic proof! Don't let anyone discourage you otherwise!

The BDS movement uses the historically successful method of targeted boycotts inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, the US Civil Rights movement, the Indian anti-colonial struggle, among others worldwide.

We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. Companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling such huge, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!”

as promised, the transplanting tutorial

most sources make transplanting sound incredibly difficult, but transplanting young seedlings from areas with sparse dirt, like a driveway or roadside, is actually incredibly easy and can get you some great stuff. Once I worked out the method, i've had a very high survival rate

it took me like a month of trial and error to figure this out so you don't have to.

Ending The Stigma Of Drug Use Will Save Lives.

Ending the stigma of drug use will save lives.

I don’t care who you are or who you ship or what you’ve done. All I ask is that you take 30 seconds to read this.

Bangladesh is currently on the brink of civil war.

The prime minister, Sheik Hasina is extremely corrupt and has recently stated, and I am paraphrasing, “why should razakars (the ones who supported Pakistan during the genocide they committed in Bangladesh back in the 1970s. Research the Liberation War) take the jobs of the children of the veterans that have fought in the war?“

This has led to mass prejudice. People and the police are harassing innocents, attacking universities, going into peoples home to harm them. There is no proof that these people are razakars, they are attacking based on a feeling of all things.

They are killing and harming people near constantly and Bangladesh has turned off the network over there, keeping people from asking for help from the outside. I am terrified for my friends and family over there. A friend of mine, her cousins are all currently in the hospital from having acid thrown at them and being beaten brutally by the police.

I am not asking for donations or charity of any kind, all I ask is for you all to please educate yourselves and spread the word in whichever way you can. Even a simple instagram story can help. They should not be ignored.

Thank you for your time.

People In Atlanta Have Been Without Water For Five Days Now Because Of Infrastructure Collapse.

People in Atlanta have been without water for five days now because of infrastructure collapse.

Meanwhile, the city government is channeling more than $90 million dollars towards Cop City, just one of several ways that they are militarizing the police.

This is capitalism in a nutshell. They rob you blind to pay the salaries of the mercenaries who impose this order on you. They don't care if you die of poverty or thirst, but they'll give you RICO charges or even shoot you if you try to do something about it.
