1. The cops did this you bozo
2. We so desperately tried to get everything back and clean it up ourselves and they threatened to arrest us.
3. Kindly go to hell.
please don't stop being angry for what's happening in Palestine. please don't stop being angry for these war crimes. please don't stop being angry for all the innocent lives we're losing.
Cease Fire
Theres an unspoken grief of watching murder from a screen.
Bodies buried under rubble on the land that the settlers will seize.
Sirens swirling with the screams,
mothers running frantic in the streets,
sickened with anxiety and grief
to see their little one be murdered by police.
We talk about dignity and peace
but oppressor says there’s pressure on their pocketbook to start and to fund another siege
We’re happy to repeat
we absolutely cannot cease, FIRE! Here’s another hospital and school FIRE
Here’s a kid that threw a couple rocks cause he got a little bold after those
White phosphorus showers
To me it’s very obvious who the terrorist is
The ones with the guns who come to take with nothing to give
Who lie to themselves, then lie to the world
Who talk about a vengeful god or burning in hell
If you’re not like them
wanna save some souls from a miserable eternity that they themselves enact on Earth in perpetuity with no accountability
Continue getting wealthy off the backs of the majority
They’ll call us the minority
Ignore all of the poverty
And tell us that there’s never any money for necessities
but there’s money for wars
And apparently more
According to the president
there could be more in store!
I love to know that all the income I’ve been working for is directly funding genocides and proxy wars
And that they’re proud of it.
But I guess we are inside of it,
The belly of the beast that keeps the peace with a violent silence
I wonder what would happen if we redirected time
and we took the guns out the hands of those whose looked like mine
and took the greed out the hearts of those who compromised their people and their souls to enable their genocide
If the fighting was fair
Would we still be here or would there maybe have been another there
If they didn’t burn books,
If they didn’t re-educate the children they took
If they didn’t enjoy watching the bloodshed and look so suspiciously psyched at the sight of the dead
Would we be living in utopia instead?
Man I wanna believe it
In my life time
I would love to see it
For the children who need it
For the mothers who’re grieving
For the men we don’t talk about who really die for their freedom
So the comrades in arms haven’t lost their lives for no reason.
So that I can look them in the eyes when I tell my kids we believed it was possible to create a world where everyone lived like we did.
With a rooting in freedom
With a spiritual practice without the boundaries of Eden
With a holy mentality of the temple we’re feeding
to house ourSelves in this realm of wicked deceiving
With a heart that is beating.
With a mind that is dreaming.
With a soul that is teeming with a light that is eternal
Electric
and breathing
Alive.
We will continue to survive.
We will continue to survive.
The generations that grew from uprooted roots will survive
You cannot kill us. #CeaseFireNow
This is what gets me. Because there was no desire to educate themselves further or need to know more about anything or a need for a credible source to be mouthpieces and have empathy for those who were harmed on Oct. 7th (*condemnation included*)…but then they’re watching all this destruction in real time (and I know they see it cause of their self-centered “I just can’t bare the violence from my mansion” posts) now it’s crickets? Now your voice doesn’t matter? Now you just feel so helpless? Also, none of the posts I saw mentioned praying for the innocent Israelis who were killed and taken..you were praying for the STATE! Imagine!! Having more empathy for a murderous government than the children it massacres while saying you’d do anything for innocent people..like stfu. Also awful to me: If you posted said message over the destruction of Gaza or over Palestinian children’s faces and pain..and then when held accountable, instead of extending empathy for those in those pictures you shared..you DOUBLE DOWN on standing with occupiers and don’t even APOLOGIZE FOR OR ACKNOWLEDGE your ignorance. YALL TRULY MAKE ME SICK. You are influencers of nothing but ignorance. It’s disgusting to watch so many of my peers use their platforms so harmfully and callously. You don’t need to stand for shit, just stay fucking quiet and be the coward you are! Stay quiet so you can keep all your brand deals and partnerships and comfort! That’s fine! But just STFU!
Another #Barbie thought after Round 2: a lot of ppl are campaigning for a Supporting Actress nomination for Emily Blunt in OPPENHEIMER primarily for that one GREAT scene (you all know the one), so let’s give that same energy to America Ferrera, whose monologue *makes* this movie.
If Greta Gerwig’s #Barbie remains the biggest domestic opening for a film throughout the rest of 2023, this will mark the first year in Hollywood history where #1 opening film was delivered by a solo female director.
