My absolute favorite poem

[pissvortex]

every member of the north carolina GOP needs to be barred from holding public office this isnt a joke every single one of them is a lunatic

[pissvortex]

not only did they trick the nc dems to go to a 9/11 memorial while they stayed behind and passed their budget proposal unopposed, the few democrats that stayed behind had their mics cut off and some were even prevented from voting

[pissvortex]

the entire reason they pulled this stunt was so they could deny 500,000 north carolinians health care coverage like do you understand how evil this is even by politician standards

Despite what white people of today want to believe, it was NOT that long ago. At all.

[charismat1c-megafauna]

The grandchildren of slaves are still alive. There are people alive who remember segregation. Moreover, just because it was “illegal” doesnt mean it stopped. There were people living in basically slavery in the 50s. They didn’t have access to education or the outside world. Many schools didnt even BEGIN to desegregate until the 70s and 80s. All of this is VERY recent history.

“Let us put it generally: if a regime is immoral, its citizens are free from all obligations to it.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Gulag Archipelago.

[Pictured: Captain Pia Klemp sitting in a chair beside her controls.

@VivianAngrisani on Twitter wrote on 6/8/2019: “Pia Klemp, a German biologist & boat captain faces 20 yrs in prison for rescuing 1,000+ migrants at risk of drowning whilst crossing the Mediterranean. Seeking asylum is a human right. Only 1 in 100 sea captains are female. This woman is a humanitarian, not a criminal. #FreePia”

@Galactic_Rabbit quote-tweeted on 6/10/2019 and wrote: “Thinking about all those videos of people honored in their old age for hiding/protecting Jewish people.”]

To all the people commenting that she’s an accessory to “illegal immigration,” note that seeking asylum is a human right. Countries which refuse asylum are in violation of the Geneva Convention. They get away with this and propagandize complacency towards the victims by using bureaucracy to complicate immigration proceedings. During times of genocide, this is tantamount to hearing a would-be murder victim knocking on your door and locking the deadbolt.

People who risk dying getting smuggled across borders do so out of sheer desperation because the situation they’re leaving is worse. Finally, you are missing the entire point: violation of the law is warranted when the laws violate human rights and criminalize existence. Laws which call immigrants “illegal” are tools of a systemic negligence designed to condemn those who need legal protection the most.

Black women are also the most likely group to be deprived of adequate pain relief in the ER.

A study 2 years ago showed that black people overall get given pain relief only 50% as often as white people.

Medical racism is very real

I do believe I sung at thisbwomam’s funeral with the Morehouse College Glee Club in Atlanta, GA in King Chapel. THIS, was an experience that changed my outlook on life; to not take life as mere fun thing to hold or throw away. Her story tore me up. And him holding his children at the funeral sickened me. People are in this country dying from neglect. Trying to get IN the country dying from neglect. Being refused of basic care and attention. I do hope to impact this nation one day.

White people, this is your legacy. This is the ruination your demonic actions have left behind. This is what your privilege is built upon.

‘My job’s not to serve people like you.’

Has everybody got that? Does anyone still think any of this bullshit ‘has nothing to do with race’?
