[zinc @ZlNCFINGER]

toronto wouldn't be the city it is, with the cultural output it has, without the boroughs of scarborough, north york, etobicoke & virtually everywhere else that's not dt.

[Ioneenknoyo @DubJ]

this, too, is copaganda

[richie @africanrhizome]

more than disturbed with the quickness "ponk" has entered the general lexicon

All the fake activists for the Qatar World Cup are awfully quiet

Verdict, sentenced and processed all in the same day. That’s a first.

Asian dude shoots black kid and gets off Scott free. Black kid defends himself gets found guilty. Wild country.

Let me be clear about what just happened in the Karmelo Anthony verdict. Because the celebration is traveling and the discrepancies aren't.

FACT: Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35 years.

FACT: The jury deliberated for less than 3 hours.

FACT: There were zero Black jurors on this jury.

FACT: The prosecution used peremptory strikes to remove 100% of eligible Black jurors while keeping a white educator after claiming they didn't want educators on the jury.

FACT: Karmelo Anthony never stood up. The confrontation happened while he was seated. Austin Metcalf was standing over him.

FACT: The jury had the option to choose manslaughter. They chose murder.

FACT: The "sudden passion" defense which would have capped the sentence at 2 to 20 years was rejected.

FACT: Karmelo Anthony's mother was the only witness called during the punishment phase. She asked for mercy. The prosecutor responded: "Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent."

FACT: Karmelo Anthony will be eligible for parole after serving half his sentence, roughly 17.5 years. He is 19 years old.

Now ask yourself, if the races and sizes were reversed, if Karmelo was 6'1" standing over a seated smaller white teenager who reached up with a knife, does this even go to trial?

You already know the answer.

Say his name. Karmelo Anthony.

Stay Dangerous.

keep your black children away from these devils

Damn they did the whole trial, & sentencing in 3 damn days. Somebody better have an appeal filed by midnight, cause never have I ever seen no shit like this

[Don Moolio @_ReeMiddleChild]

Karmelo Anthony has recieved more time (35 years) than George Zimmerman (no time), Daniel Penny (no time), Derek Chauvin (22.5 years), Amber Guyger (10 years) & Rick Chow (no time) COMBINED. This is unacceptable to any sane thinking, no racist person.

going to hold some of your hands when I say this but you all are dealing with racial trauma from this show and that’s why you instantly got triggered by that speech because of all the previous times you’ve watched men play in black women’s faces

UPDATE!

A local community advocate after speaking with sex workers who knew her, was able to find out her name is Jasmine, she's Vietnamese, and is believed to be from Vancouver.

If anyone knows more about Jasmine, contact the authorities. She deserves to be laid to rest.

In conflict, sexual violence escalates. Whether as a weapon by militias or by men in communities amid institutional breakdown, the impact is devastating. This is the reality for women & girls in Congo today. Hundreds of cases reported weekly, while countless others go unreported

Hi everyone, my name is Sheila Maryanne.

I never imagined I would be writing something like this, asking strangers for help just so my family can survive another day.
