“As written, it would allow the Secretary of the Treasury to revoke the tax-exempt status of "terrorist supporting organizations”—no evidence or explanation is required. Notably, status can be revoked even if the “support” is not intentional or connected to violence. If the tax-exempt organization couldn’t prove its case to the Treasury, it would have to go to court, essentially flipping the script on the current scheme.“
If HR9495 passes, charitable organizations that are involved in issues around women’s reproductive rights, serving immigrants and refugees, working on issues related to wars and victims of wars, and even issues around equity, could potentially be deemed as terrorists or domestic terrorists.
It’s already passed in the house. You need to call your senator and let them know your concerns and that you do not want this to go further.
For Americans, I need you to understand what this means in the hands of the incoming administration.
Does AO3 host stories written by Palestinian authors? Then it’s a terrorist organization. Done.
AO3 is at some risk, and as most of us in this corner of Tumblr are here for fandom, so that’s what first comes to mind. But this bill, if made law, would be used to destroy nonprofits like the ACLU, GLAAD, the World Wildlife Fund – the list goes on.
US Americans, contact your senators. Even if you know they’re going to vote No, contact them anyway and THANK THEM.
Hi everyone – I wanted to post about a non-profit close to my work that is currently running low on items for unhoused people in Appalachia.
This organization is giving upwards of 800 pounds of food to the homeless population per day, it is also run by a majority trans / LGBT staff and provides resources for neurodivergent / LGBT youth.
Due to the current situation, they will be needing more support than ever to continue their work. The weather is getting cold and many unhoused people are in need of gloves, scarves, hand warmers, etc.
This place is doing good work and I would love to see more people support it! Thanks so much for reading.
Republicans not wanting to fund libraries is part of their plan to make the next generation illiterate. That is why they are banning books too.
By all means put the library IN the rec centre! Public Third Spaces are important, and having a library in the same building as hockey or the Y just makes it more accessible. Imagine dropping one kid at practice and taking the other across the hall to read while you wait. Imagine picking up books after you have your workout. Imagine studying for a few hours and then going for a swim before you head home.
This is the John Harper branch of the Waterloo Public Library. I wrote a book and did job applications on the left, and then went up to that gym on the right to walk around the indoor track. Parking was free. The library was free. The YMCA had subsidized rates.
look. spirk went canon for the first time when spock went into heat and they fucked wrestled on vulcan and spock’s heat broke even though jim only faked his death. then they got divorced and spock tried to purge all emotion from his body. then spock realized that jim is his soulmate and feelings are good actually and they held hands which is vulcan for kissing and spirk went canon a second time. then spock died and they had to regrow his body and put his soul back in it and he had to relearn all his memories and finally he remembered jim and spirk went canon a third time. then they were married for a while and saved some whales, met god, had to deal with spock’s terrorist cult-leader brother, space chernobyl happened and the soviet union the klingon empire fell and jim was framed for murder and spock had to find the real killer. then jim got sucked into another dimension and died (don’t @ me i refuse to even watch this one) and spock lived for like a hundred more years and then got zapped into an alternate universe where he didn’t know anyone and had to play spiritual guide to chris pine and zachary quinto, and then he ALSO died. and that was the end! and we just lived like that! for decades! but NOW, thanks to executive producer bill fucking shatner, old jim got to meet even older spock on the astral plane one last time and DOUBLE HELD HANDS which we can only conclude is vulcan making out with tongue. so yes, for a fourth time, spirk has gone canon
this sucks ass because we’ve had so many repeated warnings the last decade about community outbreaks of preventable diseases and still we have so many anti vax losers. very cool guys, thanks for that, very normal behaviour to fuck over babies like this
coworker: hey you should come look at the results of a ph test for a customer’s water
me: I’m king of busy rn
coworker: no really just come here
the ph test:
my honest reaction:
I dont k ow what OP is testing for or what most of the table says but whatever water they’ve sampled it has the same PH levels as seawater and there’s enough mineral content for stalagmites to form inside the sample container. If line 2 is nitrates- the stuff produced by dead junk- then there’s enough of it to make them sick.
So like. Whatever this is, and I hope to God it isn’t someone’s tap water, then as far as my untrained brain can tell, it is reading as a sample pulled from an unfiltered saltwater fish tank that someone filled with street gravel and didn’t clean for a month.
Or like. The groundwater well behind an abandoned farm house in Missouri that hasn’t been touched since 1953, possibly after a raccoon fell inside it
This is the kind of water you’d read about in an old dead British guy’s expedition journal in an entry dated two days before the entire party died of dysentery
I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.
