On The Daily Show, Trevor Noah was asked by an American teacher: what’s the difference between apartheid in South Africa and racism in the United States?
Lula Da Silva:
"The world spends $2.7 trillion a year on weapons while people starve."
"With every war Israel starts, somehow the last shot always has to land in Lebanon."
"They talk about Cuba being socialist, while Haiti starves next door -- and nobody says a word."
@allgood122172@MA_tothedam_DEA@weirdbeingg that’s a symbiotic relationship/mutualism….which is found usually in OH parasites. we gotta reopen the schools this what taught in like 5th grade
“But women sexualise themselves”… no, men sexualise our existence.
There’s a fetish for the schoolgirl, the teacher, the secretary, the nurse, the nun, the “innocent” girl, the “experienced” woman, the boss, the assistant, the submissive, the dominant, the “barely legal,” the mother, the babysitter, the neighbour, the coworker every version of us gets turned into something sexual.
Covered? There’s a fetish. Modest? There’s a fetish. Uncovered? There’s a fetish. Even discomfort, even vulnerability is sexualised.
The same woman will be sexualised and then shamed for it in the next breath. That contradiction isn’t ours to carry.
Saying women sexualise themselves is just a way to dodge accountability because no matter what we do, you were already going to sexualise us anyway.
Perfect opportunity to highlight Miles’s mother, Timiney Figueroa, who is a talented singer in her own right and sang with Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Crusade Choir. #Oscars
Moynihan: But I haven't heard anybody at this table recognize the fact that our military is incredible
McGowan: That's what happens when we have these kind of conversations. The implication is if we don't say, woohoo, we're winning, go military, we're not pro-military. I am absolutely pro-military, which is why I'm against this war. Because if you take our soldiers into war, you not only have to have a plan and a reason, you have to have an exit strategy, you have to know why you're there, what you're doing, what your goal is. We do not have that. And today we are putting 2200 Marines on the way to the Middle East with no plan for that.

“White people are psychopathic. They steal countries. They stole yoga and vegetarianism. They steal everything and call it discovery.
They say they discovered America. They actually got lost along the way. They were trying to go to India.”
It’s “If he beats you leave” never “if you beat her we will beat you too, we will stop being friends with you, we will ostracize you, you will lose your job, we cannot be friends with men who beat women”
All the advice for the victim, nothing for the abuser.
It's kinda messed up that scientists know more about dinosaurs than the female reproductive system.
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and still takes years to diagnose.
PCOS has no clear cause, no cure, and wildly inconsistent treatment.
Menstrual pain is taken seriously only after it disrupts productivity.
Menopause affects every woman and is barely taught in medical training.
Most drugs were tested on male bodies well into the 1990s.
So women live with delayed diagnoses, unmanaged pain, and being told it's
"normal."
This isn't a knowledge gap.
It's a priority gap and women are paying for it daily.
🚨 Rep Anna Luna goes NUCLEAR after Congress votes to kill efforts to release sexual harassment and abuse by members
"We just had a member of Congress sexually harass a woman that then lit herself on fire and you all protected him.
That's why the American people hate us."
“There is a kind of strength that is almost frightening in black woman. It’s as if a steel rod runs right through the head down to the feet…I believe that we have to thank black women not only for keeping the black family alive but the white family”

Former ICE agent: I am duty bound to report the legally required training program at the ICE Academy as deficient, defective, and broken. On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant. I watched ICE cut 240 hours of vital classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention, and the limits of officers' authority.
