The Karmelo verdict isn't just a miscarriage of justice; it is the absolute delegitimization of the American legal apparatus. When self-defense is criminalized for Black citizens but weaponized to protect those who hunt us, we are watching a white supremacist apartheid regime operate in plain sight.
The crazy/scary thing about the lady with the “no right hand” situation and supposedly texting while driving is that once the officer realized he was wrong, instead of just admitting it, he let his ego take over and still proceeded to give her a ticket anyway.
Some people may look at it like “it’s not that deep,” but honestly it is.
Because if someone’s ego is too big to admit they were wrong in a small situation like that, imagine how that could show up in bigger situations involving other people. Ego makes people double down instead of self-correcting, and that’s dangerous.
Part of feminism is admitting that you’re a bird about certain shit and working to unlearn it. All of us got a lil chirpy chirp you just gotta rage against the birdness
An Israeli tank fired on the car from 13 metres away with its crew having a clear line of sight to the two children inside.
Forensic Architecture reported the tank position after mapping bullet trajectories and analysing the phone audio from the Red Crescent call. The Washington Post reviewed satellite imagery confirming Israeli armoured vehicles were in the immediate area contradicting the military’s first statement that no troops had been present.
Hind remained alive for hours among her dead relatives continuing to plead for rescue over the phone. The ambulance sent to reach her was struck by a tank shell killing both paramedics on board.
Her body was recovered 12 days later in the same car. The Israeli military has declined to answer questions on the details or release findings from any internal inquiry.
“To write for a Black family, you start asking yourself, ‘What am I doing?’ So we cast all Black actors for Gerald’s family — that helped with authenticity. Then we listened to Jamil, Gerald’s voice actor, loved his phrasing and pacing, and wrote more of what he brought. In the ’90s, we were doing our best just to show different ethnicities on screen, thinking it’d be cool for a kid to see Gerald and say, ‘Finally, a character that looks more like me.’ People tell me that now.”

Dear @apple,
I don’t know what is going on with your damn keyboard, but I have NEVER in the 19 years of owning iPhones, had to backspace, retype, start over, correct words as much as I am now! And what happened to autocorrect!? Is that not a thing anymore? Please fix this!
