Managing your emotions doesn’t mean you don’t express yourself; it means you stop short of hurting others and sabotaging yourself.

keep in mind, the neo nazis had police protection while marching

keep this in mind next time europeans say racism in europe is dead

Hello. I’m a European, and i’ve never heard anyone in Europe say racism is dead! What we do say, and what Tumblr fails to grasp, is that racism often takes different and more complex forms here than in the US

And yes they have police protection. That’s because they have a right to march, but also because when they do, a lot of people turn out to protest against them. The police aren’t just there to protect the neo nazis, they’re there to prevent violence by them against the anti nazi protesters too. I’ve been very grateful for their presence on many occasions when right wing marches have turned violent.

Canada loses an entire city due to wild fire -- Yes you read that correctly.

Within the last week Canada has lost an entire city due to wild fire and it is rapidly spreading, and expected to double in size. Fort McMurray has been ablaze all week and the fire is spreading towards Saskatchewan. Attempts to put the fire out have been failing because the fire is so hot water it is evaporating before it can do any good.

Dry and extremely windy conditions are fueling the blaze, which has already scorched more than 1,560 square kilometers (602 square miles) and displaced tens of thousands of people.

These people are no longer evacuees … They’re refugees.

Rain is to be expected next week, but a downpour is needed to tame a monstrous fire – which is the size of Hong Kong and is almost 25% bigger than New York City – that has displaced about 88,000 people, wiped out 1,600 structures including homes, schools and hospitals, and sent plumes of smoke as far away as Iowa.

Here is a link if you want to help, please share this, this is a huge tragedy and these people need help.
