Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.

The current climate is especially accelerating this.

Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.
Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.”

www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Petition EN7799 - Stop VISA and
MASTERCARD from dictating access to Legal Content.
Petition Status
The petition is currently open for signatures
OPEN
CLOSED
一雪一〇
PRESENTED RESPONDED
Petition Reason
VISA and MASTERCARD control the payment processor market, in a monopoly, that is not regulated in the least. These companies openly dictate access to services, sales, or operations, of legal items, or legal businesses, based on their own political views. Credit Card Processors should only be there to process legal transactions, and not dictate what someone spends their money on. VISA and MASTERCARD are so big and control a market that can be equated to a utility. There are no alternatives widely available in the market, despite these companies acting as a key part of all payment infrastructure. just like water companies or electricity providers are regulated to prevent them from stopping service based on arbitrary views,
VISA and MASTERCARD should be held to the same standard.

this is a very minor subskeet but! It has come to my attention that not everyone realises that BDS is actually a concerted effort and not just ‘I dislike this one company’.

Here’s the current list! Along with an explainer of how they were chosen: bdsmovement.net/Act-Now-Agai...

Chart from the BDS website with a list of boycott targets- AXA, carrefour, HP, chevron, caltex, remax, ahava, taco, Siemens, sodastream. Divest: elbitbsystems, CAF, Volvo, CAT, Barclays, JCB, intel, chevron, Hyundai, HikVision. Pressure: Google, Amazon, Airbnb, booking dot com, Expedia, Disney, teva. Organic boycott targets: McDonald’s, dominos, papa johns, Burger King, wix, pizza hurt.

The salt water air weathers your metal shell. You wish you were breathing it in rather than a stale, filtered version of it. Wish you could see the sky in all its brilliant nuance rather than through pared down eyes made for killing.

The fog of war is lifting

What we are learning is that these two parties are responsible for all of the censorship going on. Banks working with PayPal / Stripe, and card networks like MasterCard

The main instigators of online censorship in the e-commerce chain: acquiring banks and card networks
