extremely important video to share around. she is a hero, her name and face will be written in history books. she is documenting everything will fearing for her life every hour of the day and the night. how many more deaths do the press have to record before the world helps them?
no money for healthcare, no money for student loan forgiveness, no money to aid people in a housing crisis, flint still doesn’t have clean water… but the US has a blank check to fund genocide. interesting.

We should stop acting obtuse about why people are so unbothered by the death of brown people
We knew why when Ukrainian reports said “this doesn’t happen to people like us” when Russia was attacking them
We knew why when the media portrayed the Middle East as war torn and undeveloped, and middle easterners as thieves and terrorists.
We knew when the United States felt it necessary to invade Lebanon and Iraq and kill their people in the name of “preservation”
In their eyes, war and death are not only reserved, but expected for a specific kind of people
Anthony Bourdain said: "Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride." (Ht Jamieson Faulcon)
