As some of y’all may be aware, there are horrible things going on in the world today.
All in just today, these have happened.
There was a 7.0 earthquake in Japan.
There’s a tsunami warning in parts of Japan because of it, too.
There was an earthquake in Mexico.
In Beirut, there were 2 suicide bombings and they killed 40+ people.
In Baghdad, there was a funeral that was bombed and at least 19 people were killed.
In Germany, there were 8 dead babies found in a flat.
There was a Ukrainian helicopter that crashed in Slovakia, and it killed 6 people.
In Paris, there was 1 bomb (that was assumed to have been a suicide blast).
In Paris, there were also 5 other explosions.
In Paris, there have been many shootings.
In Paris, over 60 people have been taken hostage.
In Paris, there are still uncaught gunmen.
In Paris, with all of what has happened, there have been at least 160 deaths, and the number keeps increasing.
In Missouri, 3 men were charged with confirmed terrorist threats.
Donald Trump said things against Ben Carson (but that’s politics, folks). But he crossed a line when he started comparing Ben Carson to a child molester (need I explain why we shouldn’t compare people to things such as a child molester, and how that normalizes such behavior- not only joking but literally, too?).
A guy on Twitter started making threats to kill children and Jews, and defied a judge’s orders to stop.
Because of the terrorist attacks in Paris, different locations and cities in Washington D.C., New York, and Massachusetts have upped the amount of police on duty, and the LAPD has, too.
On the Marist campus, there was a lockdown because of a threat a 16-year-old boy made.
The German football team revealed that just hours before the terrorist attacks in Paris, they had to evacuate the hotel they were staying in, in Paris, because of a bomb threat.
*EDIT* Cities with terrorist warnings: New York City, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Las Vegas, London, Rome, and Toronto.
*EDIT* On top of all of this, Islamophobes have started attacking Muslims. Please know that most Muslims do not agree with ISIS and are not part of it. Do not send hate to Muslims. Do not blame the acts of ISIS on those who partake in Islamic practices. ISIS ≠ Muslim.
With all that has been going on in the world- TODAY ALONE- it is quite scary.
So please, if you’re someone who prays, pray for the people that have been harmed, killed, maimed, threatened, physically or mentally hurt, or have feared for their life.
And no matter what you believe in, PLEASE find websites to make donations to and organizations to help these people in need.
If anyone has any links to make donations, knows anyone that has truly been affected by any of these things (if you’d like to share a link that they’d be fine with having shared, so that people can send them love, that would be great), or knows of any phone numbers to help the people that are in these crises because of any of these things, please reblog this and comment them.
I want as many people to feel safe and loved as possible. Anyone who has been threatened by these things or knows somebody going through any of these things, or whatever else, I want you to know that I (along with so many others) am here for you. My blog is a safe and hate-free zone. Please be careful!!
