Fast forwarding a bit let's assume we do wrench our government back from our Wish Brand Fascist Regime, then we're going to curtail the billionaire class that enabled this coup. Right?
The corporations that funded and assisted Hitler's regime were never really held accountable. We can't make that mistake again.

The short answer is no, not based on what he did.
Pathologizing resistance and protesting in all its forms, including the selfless act of self-immolation in order to communicate an urgent message to save countless innocent lives is a colonial imperialist tool.
Fight any attempt to pathologize Aaron or any activist. They delegitimize Palestinian liberation when they paint us as “mentally ill” as if freedom and liberation are mental diseases!
Rest in peace Aaron.

I need ya’ll to realize running back to TikTok like nothing fucking happened is exactly what this motherfucker wants. He wants you to run back and to be grateful. He wants you to forget that the Supreme Court has just passed something that indicates they can pursue intense censorship and remove our access to free speech and non-propagandized/monitored spaces whenever they want. He wants you to be so focused on all this that you completely forget that he’s about to pass at least a hundred horrific policies stripping us of our rights as soon as this week. He wants you to stop talking about Palestine who is still in danger and is in desperate need of aid despite the ceasefire. He wants you to turn your attention away from all the people in LA suffering thanks to the fires.
I don’t want to say it’s just an app, because it’s not. I was incredibly sad about losing TikTok yesterday. Many of us had a community that meant a great deal to us torn away suddenly and I am not saying we shouldn’t be upset about that. But I am saying that as much as the Supreme Court has more important things they should be focusing on over banning TikTok we have more important things to do then run back to an app that was obviously used for a publicity stunt by Trump and will inevitably be influenced by him and his fascism.
We’ve been discussing boycotting Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and other Meta platforms due to their connections to Trump and his posse of billionaires. TikTok must be treated the same way so long as the CEO and company is in Trump’s pocket.
since everyone’s getting back into the hunger games, i just wanna say this. if i was katniss talking to hijacked peeta, i wouldn’t have been able to take the stuff he said. “snow said everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie.” my response would be “didn’t snow bomb your family? but you’re gonna listen to him right…” i seriously would not have been able to be sensitive in that situation. peeta was fed lies and kept spewing them out with no filter. yes i understand, he was ill and not in his right mind. i’m just putting myself in katniss’ shoes. girl was forced to be some symbol for the rebellion, to play a role constantly, to be a leader and all she wanted to do was survive. then after dealing with that, the guy she loves comes back to her totally brainwashed and tries to kill her. i would’ve been done with everything. i don’t know how katniss didn’t just spazz out on people.
JUST TELL ME
is it me who won’t let go?
why can’t i escape you?
why are you always on my mind?
i see you everywhere but yet
you’re not in front of me.
i honestly don’t even know what you want from me.
it feels like i’m going crazy.
crying to myself in the bathroom,
just asking you to explain to me why?
why won’t you leave me energetically and mentally but left so easily physically?
don’t even try to tell me how to see it.
you won’t change my mind,
shit you haven’t even tried.
you just jumped without ending.
you talk so easily but why can’t i?
why do i feel that way, trapped but you’re living free?
and if you’re not then show me.
show me that you’re going crazy too.
show me that it wasn’t nothing.
that i was it for you until i wasn’t.
shit you could’ve showed dislike but instead,
you shot blanks.
those blanks taunted me…
and now you do too.
how it feels to watch The Last of Us without some fuckass complaining about tiny changes
