gently caress the ASPCA it's a scam "raising awareness" charity that just pays big salaries and doesn't distribute money to shelters

Donate to local shelters directly if you feel sad for aminals

I wish I lived in this fantasy America where protest was legal until Jan 6 2021 broke with history and set a precedent for criminalizing protest for the very first time.

Instead of real America where Ken State and Birmingham Jail happened, oh and Blair Mountain and the MOVE bombing, oh and don't forget when Debs and a bunch of other people went to prison 100 years ago for handing out pamphlets against the draft

no you see the real struggle is policing your own emotional responses regarding the state security apparatus

Always, always, ALWAYS donate to local chapters. I'll shy away from naming specific names but there's a national pro-choice organization that's notorious for union busting when state level branches try to unionize

a new one to me this last go round with my folks was physically mass-mailing seniors some change (so like, 36 cents or something, in an envelope) along with a kind of weird exhortation to repay the kindness?? like wtf is going on. absolute abuse and in a real society the people who come up with this sort of targeted poo poo would be lit on fire in the public square

figured it out real quick when i got a guy on the phone who had just been discharged from the va with a head injury

The reason people with degrees are less racist isn't because college teaches you to be less racist, but because you end up meeting a lot of people who aren't like you while you're studying.

100% of "awareness" charities are scams to trick charity navigator and the like. Because then you can say that everything you are spending is going towards its stated goal. Livestrong flying Lance Armstrong around the country to attend bike races? Well, that is raising awareness of cancer.

ime it's the olds (80+) most inclined to get snowed by the lib fundraising, to the point where I think it's elder abuse to hit them up (bc it's so successful).

I'm sure there's a my-pillow flip side but I've seen elder relatives & clients fall for the lib appeals.

my dad (r.i.p.) as a lobbyist just went for the golf fundraisers that (back in the day) could be converted to personal funds once the state pols retired, and at least got a golf game & drinks out of it.

pp rolled over and stopped gender affirming care in FL without a fight once desantis started his culture war bs. not sure the status since judges have been poking holes continuously in his legislative bullying. totally useless lib poo poo leadership over a support network comprised of underpaid people who mostly care. one of those places where the dreaded idpol tankies hate intersects. actually, :guillotine: ing the rich helps trans people too

pp rolled over for desantis and quit all gender affirming care in fl. pp leadership along with the HRC are all terminally lib and useless. support staff in clinics still care but hands are tied in many cases by leadership unwilling to risk a fight.

it’s one of those places the dreaded idpol that cis straight tankies hate intersects with class. :guillotine: ing the rich solves a lot of this poo poo and makes it possible to address the rest
