Okay, so moments ago, I became a member of the NAACP.
"But aren't you... white?"
Yes, I am. At the same time, I'm fucking sick and tired of the crap the US government dumps on black folks. I don't see a better way for me to counter the current disenfranchisement campaign than joining the NAACP.
If you live in the US, I invite you to do the same, irrespective of your skin tone:

The Voting Rights Act at 60: still the frontline for democracy
Decades after its passage, the revolutionary law continues to face threats and attempts to pervert its purpose
from #TheGuardian #Guardian
George Chidi
Wed 6 Aug 2025 07.00 EDTCongress wrote the #VotingRights Act to prevent the case-by-case whack-a-mole games local lawmakers were playing with election rules. It forced jurisdictions with a history of #discrimination to clear elections changes with the Department of Justice before they could go into effect. It banned literacy tests to vote and allowed challenges to district maps when those maps would not allow proportional representation for minority voters.

@PariaSansPortefeuille YIKES! "This strategy is spelled out in the #HeritageFoundation’s #ProjectEsther, a corollary to its Project 2025. This document seeks to 'dismantle' nonprofit organizations advocating for #Palestinian rights by stripping them of their tax-exempt status. This is exactly what H.R.9495 seeks to accomplish.
"The movement for Palestinian rights is the canary in the coal mine. When states began adopting unconstitutional laws designed to punish and suppress #FirstAmendment protected speech and action to advance boycotts for Palestinian freedom, these laws were then used as templates to shut down activism for #BlackRights and #ClimateJustice.
"Enacting this dangerous law as the Trump administration prepares to take office will embolden it to repress a broad swath of organizations working to advance causes such as #immigrant and #LGBTQ+ rights, to name just a few other movements which are currently in the crosshairs of the MAGA Republicans’ agenda."

I create #whimsicalart because it feeds joy and helps maintain our spirits. I am alarmed by the book bans, the writing of hate into law all of the anti-woman anti-gay and anti-trans bills and efforts (to name a few) currently happening in Republican areas of the US - and as we're able to help each other keep our spirits we keep this fight for #HumanRights sustainable. Yes, let's keep an eye on the extremists nefarious words and deeds but let's remember to support each other - whoever we are - and sustain our human spirits in the process. That's how we win.
