@ok_post_guy That bitch delivered suffering. Bastard backed out of the campaign promise before he even got sworn in claiming the covid money Trump handed out counted to the $2,000 he promised everybody. Lying about $600 on day 1, you know he wasn't gonna do shit to help anybody, fukk him.
More than thirty girls, some as young as twelve, were arrested at a protest in Georgia and locked in an abandoned Civil War stockade in the middle of nowhere.
No beds. One broken toilet. No working shower. Burgers thrown in once a day.
Their parents were not told where they were.
July 1963. Leesburg, Georgia.
They had marched in Americus. Police took them, drove them twenty miles away, and put them in a concrete building that had not been used for anything in years.
They slept on a concrete floor. The window had no glass. It was July in south Georgia.
They were held for up to forty-five days. No charges were ever filed against them. No trial. Nothing.
Their mothers were driving around the county asking anyone who would talk to them where the children were.
A SNCC photographer named Danny Lyon eventually found the building and photographed them through the broken window — girls in summer dresses, standing on filthy concrete, looking straight into the lens.
Those photographs got into Jet and into Congress. That is how the parents found them. That is the only reason they came home.
Some of them are alive right now. They call themselves the Stolen Girls.
There are so many crimes against us like this no one ever answered for. We must know them and never forget. Our book documents 150 of those crimes https://t.co/V6OJtazidd
@starryeyedfemme It is, and it is just getting going. Really gonna be a hell of a trip watching this world go tumbling towards 2.5 billion on it from 8.5 billion.
Yeah, the people who tell you they actively stopped listening 30 seconds into you explaining step one really are excited to listen closely once you get to step 10. Right. My off ramp is when the world is at 2 billion people left and those still here might wake up around then.
I think my problem with these people is that there doesnt seem to be an off ramp. I dont ever hear them talk about a future where we can be in public without masks again
dude seeing so many of these accounts who never engage with covid or this community being like “they don’t talk about clean air & ventilation!” like they’re the ones coming up with this brilliant idea for the first time. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
@the_moral_abc Yeah, because with so many people like you in the world, a future where we can be in public without masks again is extremely unlikely. Gotta wait until you all are no longer around, then we can make progress.
mindblowing belief expressed here. the idea that cops care about sexual assault, especially given how many perpetrate it, is less grounded in reality than almost any myth of policing
they found her, her name, her address, etc. they went to her fucking home and intimidated her. if anything this is actually proof she was telling the truth.
On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell @jvplive) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same @Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.
When someone is an asshole to disabled people in a bigoted way, they justify it by saying the people they abuse aren’t actually disabled and that they are protecting “actual disabled people.”
If all it takes for some ppl on the left to abandon a cause or marginalized group is a few ppl being too "weird" or "annoying"
then all the right has to do is run a few news segments going "Look at these FREAKS! Aren't they WEIRD?!" and ppl will rush to throw them under the bus
Brock Turner was found guilty of sexual assault & served 3 months,
Jesse Mack Butler pled guilty to raping & strangling two children… he got community service.
Robert Morris raped a 12 year old. He served 6 months.
Even when rapists are found guilty, they’re barely punished.
people who are right are also very often incredibly annoying and of you don't want to turn into a reactionary conservative you're going to need to make peace with this
“The dignified thing to do when you’re terminally ill or disabled is to apply for MAID.”
This is coercion. The phrase “Dying with dignity” is coercion.
Special shoutout to the friends and family of the Cornell 7 who stand by them, as well as to the future spouses who will forgive them and allow these men into their lives and hearts despite knowing better: You can all go to hell too
fraternities exist to train young men into being willing to do *anything* to be a part of the in group. to accept any kind of abuse if the abuse is coming from a position of power. the humiliation rituals are the entire point
