FUN FACT: Tyler Perry paid for Nolan's funeral. Colin Kaepernick paid for the independent autopsy for Nolan's family. LeBron paid for the forensics of the cellphones involved in the case. I love seeing people helping others, but the fact we have to pay for justice is sickening.
as funny as the kirk memes are, the fact that we stopped hearing about his killer once we found out he was white speaks volumes. if he were black, we’d still be seeing his face everywhere. no black person would’ve been allowed to forget him. that’s painful to think about.
The unspoken thing here is that the jaw drop is not actually due to the scale of the dust plume but specifically because it is happening in New York. The same video taken in Beirut or Tehran would never get the same reaction from the viewer.
Keep in mind, Yemen is the poorest country in the world, dead last on the list of per capita GDP. People in Haiti are TEN TIMES richer, on average, than Yemenis. Yet in direct military confrontations, the Houthis have been defying the USA, Saudi Arabia, and Israel for 20+ years.
it’s important to note that this is specific to alberta, not canada as a whole. canada absolutely has its issues but alberta is in a REALLY bad political state right now. regardless i’m so incredibly grateful to Indigenous people continuously having the biggest, strongest hearts

she's honouring the fact that one of the earliest records of a successful C-section was performed in Uganda in 1879.
this is an homage to the brilliance of pre-colonial indigenous African medicinal practice, not a celebration of motherhood.
I think about it often, it was basically instant and justified every climate warning we received for the last 25-30 years. There was always a chance to prevent everything
don't leave Sudan, Haiti, and Congo out of your advocacy.
black people deserve support. especially in a world that runs on anti-blackness and the destabilization of primarily black countries and nations.
In a hundred years, after it is far too late, it will seem incomprehensible that we did not simply kill the 35-40 people directly responsible for destroying the planet.
I genuinely don’t understand how we are supposed to casually process that a glacier literally collapsed in Nepal, erasing 19 bridges and killing over 600 people, because the planet is too hot. And instead of stopping it, billionaires are building more data centres. Psychotic!
