i don't want kohen wiley's name to fade away with time. he was more than another headline about police violence against black people. against black children. i want his case to continue residing in the hearts of everybody who ever heard or read about it.
justice for kohen wiley.
What I love is how Asians said with their whole chest "don't shop in our beauty stores" & black folks said okayy anyways so guys come shop here. Every black business I see I repost! We don't need them frfr never have all we need is each other
This is Cherise Doyley.
She was 12 hours into labor when a nurse told her to cover up with a bedsheet.
Then a tablet appeared at her bedside.
On the screen: a judge. Lawyers. Hospital staff.
She hadn’t asked for a hearing. The hospital had.
Doyley is a professional birthing doula. She refused a C-section — she’d had three before, and one left her hemorrhaging. She knew the risks.
It didn’t matter.
And here’s the part people should pay attention to.
The state filed an emergency petition. She had minutes to prepare. No lawyer. No advocate.
A three-hour hearing. In the middle of active labor.
A judge decided how she would give birth.
This is the fetal personhood movement, fully realized.
And it’s already happening. To Black women. In Florida.
Read the full @ProPublica investigation.
“A judge decided how she would give birth.
That’s legal right now.
Should it be?

I don’t think anyone will ever be able to fully comprehend the extent of intergenerational trauma that is being created right now as we speak. This will be a stain on the history of humanity forever.
yeah this made me start crying like the AIDS crisis overall is not discussed as much as it should be, but information about how it impacted Black queer women specifically is even harder to find.

Ryan Coogler and Delroy Lindo receive a standing ovation at the NAACP Image Awards:
‘We appreciate all of the support and love we have been shown in the aftermath of what happened last weekend … it is an honor to be here amongst our people’
Delroy Lindo just told Variety that them people LIED about them being apologized to AND they lied about people at the event notifying attendees of this man’s disability.

🟥 “Silence is the language of the oppressor.”
🔳Sudanese journalist Naji-Al Kurshabi breaks down mid-interview, saying he wishes he could write the stories instead of speak them because the pain of saying them aloud is unbearable.
🔳What’s happening in Sudan is not distant. It’s the same story as Gaza, as Syria the world watching while entire families are starved into silence and cities reduced to ash. Oppression has no borders. No colour. No excuse. If you care about justice in Gaza, you must care about Sudan too.
🔴Watch this man’s voice crack then ask yourself why those responsible are still met with handshakes, not handcuffs.
