South Carolina jury finds store owner not guilty of murder in killing of Black teen | CNN

A South Carolina jury on Monday found a store owner not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting of a Black 14-year-old.

apparently the murder happened in 2023 after doing some research but the murderer has been found not guilty.

black children get murdered and become victims of hate crimes every fucking day. this is ridiculous

[rabbitkinglune777]

im posting this here despite the website being extremely white centered, I want people to understand how in this country it's basically ok to murder and victimize black people, especially women and children in the name of "self defense" and white America will reward you for your antiblackness.

framing trans infighting on this website as “both sides” arguing about who has it worse is so disingenuous it’s actually infuriating. i have a blocklist literally thousands of blogs long and i still can’t go a single day on here without seeing someone go on and on about how privileged trans men are and how trans men are actually benefiting from the patriarchy and oppressing trans women. meanwhile, i can count on my fingers the number of times i’ve seen a trans man argue the opposite. the only people who DO consistently make that argument are cis TERFs, yet for some reason it’s being attributed to “transandrobros” instead.

the vast, VAST majority of people who talk about transandrophobia are in agreement that playing oppression olympics is fucking stupid and unhelpful, but nobody listens because they keep getting talked over and silenced and gaslit about their experiences.

if you want people to stop arguing about who has it worse you can help by defending and standing with the trans men and mascs who have been saying exactly that this entire fucking time. when you try to “both sides” the discourse you’re just contributing to the cycle of speaking over and erasing the experiences trans men/mascs, because you’re refusing to engage with what the overwhelming majority have actually been saying in favor of giving legitimacy to the strawman of the “transandrobro” that has been invented for the exact purpose of fueling the discourse.

everybody: you’ve got to advocate for yourself in medical settings!

medical professionals when a patient advocates for themselves in a medical setting (x100 if that patient is a part of any minority): damn. you’re a hypochondriac crazy bitch who has every mental illness and is seeking every narcotic in existence. that’s the only reason you’d be disappointed in the care you’re receiving here. in retaliation, we will be even less helpful and less sympathetic. our jobs are hard. people are dying. we don’t have time to deal with anyone who is slightly inconvenient for us.

[byjove]

Yeahhhhhh. Whenever someone comes online to speak about a negligent, discriminatory or extremely unprofessional and uncomfortable experience they had in a medical setting, medical professionals tend to swarm them just to remind them over and over again that their job is sooooooo hard and patients are soooooo mean to them and that there are soooooooo many sicker people, like the sicker patients aren’t also being humiliated and abused, like hospitals do not stabilize people and dump them back on the street to die, like deaths due to medical errors aren’t a major problem, like racism, ableism, classism and misogyny isn’t rampant in the medical system from the top down, perpetuated systemically and individually by providers. So many doctors and nurses hate to admit they’re wrong, they hate to admit they’re complacent, they hate to admit that their patients are all people, often having the worst day of their life.

something something i think you write a piece about the way some cis people enforce gender roles by forcing you OUT of anything they define as "theirs" in order to offer their ""respect"" of your gender.

like the amount i have felt torn in half between two states by cis women who either want me to pretend i don't experience things like periods & the ability to become pregnant & whatever the shit OR gain their shallow acceptance of my gender as a trans man if off the charts. its like, to them the uterus belongs to women. if i dare to acknowledge the mundane fact that i cramp & bleed from the uterus inside my own body anywhere in their vicinity, i'm not a man. they won't allow me to be a man and do that. because. the mythical oh-so-special period belongs to womanhood in their mind and i'm somehow stealing it by trying to be a man who bleeds from my vagina. despite well, me being here all along

some of you need to understand that people from the global south criticizing imperialism and the problems they suffer from as consequences of it's existence isn't invalidating the struggles marginalized communities in the imperial core have to go through

[manuciruja]

pointing out that citizens of the imperial core have privileges that come as a direct result of the oppression of the third world isn't denying that those same citizens can also be victims of the imperial core. these ideas can and do coexist

[manuciruja]

actually why is it so hard for all of you to understand this cause it's a very simple concept. it's literally just intersectionality. we say "gay men are prejudiced for being gay but still have privilege due to being men" and no one bats an eye but if you point out "hey even if you're marginalized in the US that still doesn't take away from the fact you benefit from imperialism just by virtue of living there" and suddenly all fucking hell breaks loose

[mortalityplays]

Americans will see someone express mild discomfort that they teach their children obliterating two civilian cities in the most horrific manner humanity has yet devised was a defensible wartime strategy and be like "to be fair,"

[ninefoldrin]

Fun fact! The Japanese were literally trying to surrender and were going through the Soviets (the US' allies throughout WW2) to negotiate but were only really holding out because they wanted assurances that America wouldn't execute the emperor (go figure, the leader didn't want to die because he said he gave up). America wasn't actually planning to execute him, but refused to accept anything less than unconditional surrender, and that was a condition. Regardless of conditions, Japan was going to be surrendering the moment the USSR invaded, which was planned to happen imminently. America knew this. America knew that once the USSR entered the war with Japan, they would have a seat at the negotiating table.

Anti-communist sentiments were already strong in US leadership. The US didn't want communists gaining any more ground on the world stage and nuking Japan was a way to kill two birds with one bomb: end the war before the USSR entered and show the USSR that the USA could wipe out any of their cities in the blink of an eye. People sometimes try to argue that the second bomb had to be dropped because Japan didn't surrender after the first, but Japanese leadership didn't even meet to discuss the first bomb until shortly before the second dropped. At that point, losing an entire city had little effect on leadership. They already had entire cities leveled with conventional weapons. They hadn't yet processed that Hiroshima was leveled by a single bomb. It didn't matter though. The fact that they delayed at all gave America an excuse to prove to the USSR that they could do it again. The US obliterated two cities in Japan ultimately as a shot across the bow for the USSR.

What popular history likes to gloss over is the chain of events that lead to Perl Harbor. The US initially supported Japan (along with selling resources to all sides in the European war), even as Japan committed war crimes across China and Korea. The US had good relations with Japan at that point and saw Japan's invasion of China as a way to get a foothold in a country that had a history of being restrictive of foreign trade. Japan didn't roll out the red carpet for America though; they realized that they had something that the USA wanted and planned to use that to their advantage in global politics and trade. In response, the US stopped selling steel to Japan for their war effort. US leaders/strategists were very aware that cutting Japan off from resources they'd been relying on for their war would invite retaliation, and thus Perl Harbor happened. The US only ever cared about gaining greater access to markets and labor and was willing to fight a war over it, but in such a way that Japan would make the first move.

The US might have ended up on the right side of WW2, but not for the right reasons. The war in Europe was already going in the allies' favor and the entrance of the US only really expedited the war, but it gave the US a seat at the table when deciding what happened after the war. It let the US build military bases in Europe and bring more US businesses into Europe. The US suffered the least from the war and was able to take advantage of the fact that they didn't need to rebuild entire cities like every European country did. it was politically and financially beneficial to the US to join the war late on the side that was already set up to win, especially with a little extra push.

And for the future, the US had a chance to show the world that they weren't afraid to wipe out entire cities with a single bomb. They didn't care about the children incinerated at school, or the handful of survivors who would die because of the radiation. There was no reason for the US to obliterate two cities in a single moment. The US could have chosen to end the war by then but refused to accept any conditions of surrender. The US only used those bombs to show the world how heartless they could be, and then spent decades feeding the public propaganda about how it was necessary so that no one would question why they would ever be willing to do something so horrific.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

Cuba has run out of diesel and oil, energy minister says

The minister says the situation in Cuba is "extremely tense", as a US-led blockade of oil to the country causes widespread power cuts.

Fucking sickening, heartbreaking, disgusting. Hospitals, ambulances, water pumps, so much infrastructure shut down and so many lives hurt and lost because of it, all of this at the whim of the world's most brutal empire because they can't stand to have their will resisted so close to their shores by a society that has chosen time and time again to stand proud for the dream of a better world, a world without this blood-soaked hegemony.

Love all the yanks in the notes going like "yuropoors don't understand in the states we have use our cars everyday or else we would DIE" yea right I'm sure the good folks in Laos, Peru, Senegal and Rwanda understand that they can just use footpaths and widespread robust public transport to compensate for their petrol prices being like twice as expensive as in the US. They would understand that the US is the only place in the world where car ownership is a life-or-death trade and the only place in the world where unemployed disabled people need to get groceries. Those folks probably have higher wages than the US too so in the end those higher petrol prices even out, right?

[problematic-girltwink]

Quick demonstrative conversion:

Average gas price in the US right now is around $4.50 per gallon.

$4.50/gal *0.26gal/liter =$1.17 /L

Exchange rate is currently €0.85 to $1.00

So that comes out to a little under:

€1.00/L

The only European countries beating that price point as of may 4th, according to this website (https://www.cargopedia.net/europe-fuel-prices) are Russia and Belarus, presumably due to export sanctions depressing domestic Russian fuel prices.

Most European countries see petrol prices hovering closer to €1.80 to €2.00, with Denmark and The Netherlands at €2.30/L.

Just a quick look at how comparatively low US gasoline prices are even after getting into a pissing match with Iran.

[queeranarchism]

While it's true that Europe has some of the highest gasoline prices in the world, they also do have some of the most dense public transport systems in the world and the highest income.

The examples Laos, Peru, Senegal and Rwanda were excellent examples because those are some of the many countries that have much higher gas prices than the US, less access to public transport than the US and much lower income.

US: €1.08/L, 85% population has some public transport access, average income 83,490 (GNI per capita) Laos: €1.51/L, below 40% public transport access, 2,000 GNI p. c. Peru: €1.46/L, 73% public transport access, 7,490 GNI p. c. Senegal: €1.41/L, 50% public transport access, 1,680 GNI p. c. Rwanda €1.71/L, 56% public transport access, 1,040 GNI p. c.

Imagine having to pay almost a day's worth of your salary for 1 or 2 liters of gas.

Europeans needs to stop centering themself in this topic and none more so then Denmark and the Netherlands. For the most part they really can take the fucking bus.

Europeans in the notes: "But have you considered that I, a poor disabled autistic trans woman in debt with a agoraphobia, am suffering more from high gas prices than a cis male abled neurotypical millionaire in Rwanda?"

Yeah, no shit sherlock. That doesn't really change the fact that the focus on how high the gas prices are in the EU and US is completely disproportionate to the impact of those gas prices on their societies. And that focus is a reflection of the imperial power of those countries to prioritize their access to finite resources.

I need you to understand that this is a system problem.

I need you to understand that living in the imperial core comes with privileges that do not disappear just because you're also marginalized along other axes.

I need you to stop making this about you.
