This is Anthony Borges. He was only 15 years old when a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS in 2018. Anthony selflessly acted as a shield, placing his body between the shooter & his classmates.
Utah PD Sgt. Tyler Longman uttered, “You’re about to die my friend,” before killing an intoxicated and handcuffed Michael Breinholt. Ending Michael’s life should not have been an option! This excessive use of force is disgraceful! https://t.co/x6z1ETWrak
@docelm0@Gulujoon If you haven't been paying attention, I don't care about party affiliation. There's issues on both sides & I believe 95% of them are puppets for corp America.
@RipCityTID@Gulujoon Checking vitals, getting high risk folks to the ER, spreading word and providing transportation to, cooling centers. Giving out water and battery operated fans...just some of the things volunteers were left tasked with 🤷🏻♀️
@docelm0@Gulujoon So to that end, IMO, the govt absolutely should be liable since they likely are a high contributor to the oppression that brought a person to that position to begin with.
@docelm0@Gulujoon That would be all fine and dandy if racism/classism/sexism/xenophobia/etc weren't being actively used to maintain systemic poverty, largely at the hands of those in govt. There is no planning possible when you are being oppressed, forced to live day to day
@RipCityTID@Gulujoon Several examples have been given in comments already but to humor you - waiving bus fare & 1:1 outreach by public service employees instead of putting it all on 100% volunteer/donation based orgs.
@Haley47631891@Gulujoon Cooling centers were, well - cool. But... They could have done a lot more. I was out on the streets passing out water, using my own vehicle, gas & money. I didn't cross paths with even *one* public service employee, just other volunteers.
@cornbackloser @Gulujoon It was insane. Handed water to several that looked on the verge of heat stroke. I've been replaying faces in my mind since yesterday, wondering how many of them might have been 1/63 😔
@tedwheeler Nice tan. I got one too last weekend - going around passing out water to those in need, trying to help prevent those deaths while you were on the beach. No thanks needed but I would appreciate you doing better with my tax dollars. 63 is way too high of a number & that's on you.
@pitbullgurl38@AlexYablon@tcmorrison They will - as the "weird" cities continue to be gentrifed, ran over by developers/corporations who skyrocket COL & make it impossible for anyone below middle class to live.... Weirdos will be ran out of their homes, forced to migrate your way soon enough
EVERYONE needs a hype man like this little dude! 🙌🏾 It’s great to see our Black youth lifting each other up and having such a love and excitement for learning! It's beautiful to witness the origins of Brotherhood.
@ptvan@DanPriceSeattle Sure, but in small businesses, equity = retained earnings. As in, income from prior years that has *already* been taxed. Also, one can only “borrow against” equity for so long before there is no more left so even if this were a tax-reduction-only strategy, it'd be a stupid one.
@DanPriceSeattle@JonErlichman This is why I only ever recommend your company when clients ask me about merchant services. Gotta love a white man that uses his platform to check his peers. You da man, Dan!
