Activists - Tumblr Posts
The media giants won’t tell us this, but there are protests happening all over the US. With the coordinated BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement, large corporations like Sbux and Wackdonalds are feeling the hurt - collective action Works.
Text for the tweet below the cut, for those comrades who need it.
I found this via Instagram yesterday, Feb 14.
A screen grab of an Instagram post, titled: ‘Golden Gate Bridge Briefly Blocked by Activists Calling for Cease Fire in Gaza’
Post credited to kqednews and reads: ‘Activists calling for a ceasefire in Gaza blocked traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge this morning around 7:30 a.m. Traffic was closed for about 20 minutes and reopened by 8 a.m.
Israel is preparing for a military offensive in Rafah, a city and location of a border crossing at the southern end of Gaza where Palestinians are seeking refuge but unable to leave, prompting warnings by President Joe Biden to not proceed without a plan to protect civilians.
In the Bay Area, protestors had previously blocked the Bay Bridge in November to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.’
The image shown is taken from the Golden Gate Bridge, where 4 activists are wearing masks and holding a large banner-sign that says “STOP ARMING ISRAEL”, behind them you can see traffic lined up.

Fair. I vaguely recall occasional higher up opposition to genocide, but am not sure that that lasted a full year anyways...
I feel that these statements rather neatly counter the overall argument there - I think I can prop up the more objective point, but not into something strong enough given stated positions.
So what happens when you can't extract more from either and they're both equally likely to kill you and your families? Bc that's what Arab-Americans are looking at right now. The deaths of their direct family members across the pond, and both a current and two potential future administrations that do not care about them or their lives. So what do you say to them to convince them? You promise them nothing, tell them that their lives are worth nothing, and are mad they're giving that energy back to you. Enraged that they don't entertain your entitlement.
And stop tossing the word "leftist" up when you're clearly not one.
“young adult dystopian novels are so unrealistic lmao like they always have some random teenage girl rising up to inspire the world to make change.”

🔶 Jane Fonda presented the Oscar for Best Picture wearing a "recycled" dress that she wore 6 years ago for Cannes. It's been years since this woman made the public promise to not buy/wear new clothes as her way to protest against climate change.
