((Hey, I've been wanting to say this for a while, but I'm gonna retire the use of "twunk" from now on. I used the word w/o realizing that it was a serious identity used by mlm/gay people. I'd always seen it used as a joke, so I wrongly assumed it was one - ))
Remember black lives matter not only when it comes to police brutality but in every aspect of society. BLM in the education system where schools receive insufficient funding. BLM in the health care system where too often black ppl, especially black women, receive improper care.
Today is the temptation of the movement to see if they can stop you before you get actual change.
1. Charged all four men
2. Secretary of Defense “parts ways” with President.
3. Sending out Barack Obama to soothe.
What’s the one thing missing?
Actual change. Nothing changed.
The @NAACP has called for the United Nations to declare the mistreatment of black people in the United States as a human rights violation and impose sanctions on the US. This is not just another hashtag y’all. If we all do our part we can bring about real change.
For those who are interested in research-based solutions to stop police violence, here’s what you need to know - based on the facts and data. A thread. (1/x)

FYI if you are making stickers for Pride, protests or Black Lives Matter, don't print through Sticker Mule. They support Trump and supposedly donate to anti LGBT charities, fuck that.
I've used Sticker Ninja and it's priced similar, great quality AND

Reverse racism does not exist. you cannot be racist to white people. Hurt feelings doesn’t equate to how white people have mistreated and continue to mistreat people of colour. White people will never be discriminated against the same way black people have. Argue with your mother
I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:
I love the “N-Y-P-D, suck-my-dick!” chant because it can’t be co-opted by corporations making ads. Like Amazon or Apple or whatever would have to be like “we also believe NYPD should suck your dicks”
