here's an idea: instead of humanizing nazis, why don't journalists try humanizing Jews, Muslims, POC, LGBTQ people, disabled people, undocumented people, women, homeless people, poor people, etc.? that'd be something really fresh

Addressing root issues like toxic masculinity, capitalism and other shit like that would solve so many problems at once, but the average person resists even thinking of doing this in favor of bandaid solutions that dont really help.

I need all the help I can get.

Guys I need help,
My account was put on hold by my uni and I won’t be able to pay it off in time to apply for my classes. In all I’ll nee 1200 but by the first but by that time I’ll only have 600. Please please help me. I can’t be stuck with my mother, she is so mentally abusing. Please please help me.

@mizshellytee Im never going back to twitter. Ive been harassed too, even had my main account suspended for standing up to a blue checkmark terf. Nobody white or black ever helped us trans women.

Reminder that unlike on Twitter, Mastodon allows for Content Warnings (CW). These let others decide if they have the mental energy to deal with certain topics (politics, current events, bigotry, etc.) rather than you deciding for them.

You don't have to refrain from talking about those subjects here, but please make frequent use of CWs for those of us who use Mastodon as a refuge.

They're also good for hiding spoilers, joke punchlines, and long rambles, but don't forget their primary usage.

Antifascists in the south of the so called united states, heads up. Fascist organizers marching in both Shelbyville and Murfreesboro TN on Oct. 28, along with a possible but so far unconfirmed rally in Antioch, TN. ¡no pasarán!

so of course it's no wonder that these people would take up arms and wage an armed revolution! they are being attacked!!!!!!

farmers and indigenous peoples in the philippines looking to protect their land in the face of imperialist corporate land-grabbing are marked as terrorists, even if they are at first doing nothing but trying to, say, create self-sustainable crops or build schools for their communities. they are being massacred for their rights to land, fair wages and benefits, education... their right to LIVE

i honestly pity em because they're so blind to the literal genocide their nations wage in the name of greed. not all of us can appeal in a court of law in order to stop hostile invasion and destruction of our communities. we are being mercilessly slaughtered without so much as a second thought.

in my humble onion....................... western leftists opposing armed revolution ought to, uh, maybe think about the third world, for even a second, of their lives, and think about why people wage armed revolution, in the first place,

Alert: there was a mass shooting at a US concert and there is a lot of cell phone video and imagery out there. Take care when browsing sites without content warning systems for the next few days.

RIP Monty Hall, namesake of the most argued-about problem in statistics. (You should switch.)

gotta admit, politically i'm biased as hell. i'm always going to favor policies that allow me to continue to live instead of causing me to die. sorry to be such a hardliner.

I am *so sick* of people deciding to protest and get active and join in just because the president doesn't like it... and not because of the ACTUAL PURPOSE OF THE PROTEST.

This is exactly the sames hit as the women's march and those fucking pussy hats that was so milky the fucking child-trafficking COPS wore them.

I'm irate.

In 2011 at UC David, students peacefully protesting a hike in fees were pepper sprayed by the police. The university then tried to pay $100k to clean up their PR around the event, and have this picture effectively removed from the Internet, so I think we should boost it xox
