Black Lives Matter was the largest social uprising in the history of this country. Watching Democrats distance themselves from it and reduce it to woke memes serves as proof that Dr. King was justified in his hatred for moderates/liberals.
everything is designed to make you poor and stupid because they want to make lots and lots of money off killing poor people and they need you to be too stupid to see it coming
These two are the LAPD murderers of Ezell Ford, a Black man who they murdered 12 years ago today, two days after the murder of Michael Brown.
They are currently getting nearly HALF A MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY and still roaming the streets of Los Angeles
NO ACCOUNTABILITY
that jubilee video that jasmine’s garden bodied just perfectly encapsulates the problem with christianity. she was coming to them with grace, understanding, and a listening ear. and they came to her with vitriol, finger wagging and bullshit.

Do not ignore the genocide in Gaza.
Do not ignore the genocide in Lebanon.
Do not ignore the genocide in Sudan.
Do not ignore the genocide in Congo.
Do not ignore the genocide in Myanmar.
I grew up in church. I watched all the adults around me use Christianity as an excuse to be ignorant as fuck, make dumbass decisions, and stay stagnant in life. When u criticize Christianity, they assume u have no first-hand experience. I know y’all very well.
the sameer project feeds thousands of palestinians in gaza everyday but they are now being forced to pause operations bc they're no longer getting any donations. please donate & share, this is an emergency
I’m from Missouri, friends went and took actual risks to their safety in Ferguson so maybe this seems like a joke to some, or overreaction or whatever else, but this is actually serious. There has been a real effort to memory-hole Occupy, BLM ~2014, and other grassroots efforts.
We are literally in Gaza, and we have become pawns in the hands of corrupt Western politicians.
No one seems able to stop this war, or perhaps no one wants to pay the price of stopping it. We are the ones paying that price instead: children are dying, women are being lost, families are being torn apart, and homes are being reduced to rubble, while the arms trade, dirty deals, and political interests continue at our expense.
Those who want this war to continue, and those who have the power to stop it but choose to remain silent, cannot claim to be separate from this tragedy. This war does not continue on its own; there are those who arm it, finance it, and provide it with political cover, while standing before the world and speaking about peace and human rights.
Three full years of death, hunger, displacement, and fear. Three years in which we have been treated as though our lives are worth less than political interests and deals.
How many more of us have to die before our lives matter? How many children have to lose their families before this world finally acts?
We are not asking them to save the world. We are simply asking them to stop destroying what remains of our lives in the name of politics and interests.
Good morning again from a water desalination plant in Gaza. We are exhausted beyond words.
We are very proud of what we have been able to provide so far. This was our 19th water truck, carrying 5,000 liters of clean water to families who need it.
The work is extremely difficult, and the high temperatures make everything even harder, but we must not stop.
We are among the very few teams still operating and distributing water in Gaza. Families in the camps urgently need water, and we want to keep reaching them and providing them with water despite all the difficulties.
Please share this post. We must continue our project.
Journalist Anas Al-Sharif was not just a journalist; he was a true and incredibly brave hero. He knew his life was in danger, yet he continued his work. He did not report from a safe place; he stood in the heart of danger, telling the world about the death, fear, and suffering we were living through.
Anas and his fellow journalists were targeted inside their press tent while they were carrying out their work. He refused many offers to leave Gaza in exchange for stopping what he was publishing, and he refused to remain silent despite being threatened dozens of times. He avoided being with his family because he feared they would be targeted with him, and he wanted to protect them even if it meant dying alone.
I do not know in what country, religion, or race targeting journalists while they are doing their jobs could ever be considered acceptable. More than 207 journalists have been targeted in Gaza alone. Do you realize that number? More than 207 journalists whose “crime” was reporting what was happening to us. The world knew Anas was being threatened. It saw the threats and watched journalists work amid the danger, yet it remained silent. Were we supposed to stop reporting and die in silence so we would not disturb anyone? What kind of disgrace is this?
Anas was wearing a press vest and helmet and carrying his camera. If a journalist who is supposed to be protected by the world can be targeted despite making his identity clear, then what about everyone else? Anas is gone, and the world knew he was in danger. The world did not not know. The world knew, and then it remained silent.
Where were all those laws and slogans about protecting journalists and defending press freedom?
