“we all know why” just say it’s because they’re white. say it out loud with your whole entire chest. trump supporters aren’t being stopped from storming government buildings because THEY! ARE! ALL! WHITE! that’s it. just say it.

Don’t forget that it isn’t just that the rioters are white, it’s that the COPS are white, are right-wingers, are tr*mp supporters. The cops are letting the rioters in. The cops are moving the barricades for the rioters. The cops are literally taking selfies with them. It is an inside job. The cops are part of it.

If you saw this in a foreign country, you'd say that a failed leader incited his supporters to storm the democratically-elected legislature in order to overthrow a democratic election and violently stay in power.

And you'd be right.

I want to send peace to DC, but I'm feeling angry.

These people terrorized their way into a building, breaking into the offices of members of Congress and rifling through their desks.

Senators were told to shelter in place and then forced to evacuate for their own safety.

And the police, who spent all of last year and all of the last 200 years, beating, brutalizing, and murdering Black people, were seen taking selfies with these white domestic terrorists.

I'm not surprised. The police aren't far from domestic terrorists themselves. But only against certain people, and only in defense of our white power structures.

I do NOT wish that the police had brutalized the people at the Capital Building today.

I wish we could see ourselves as we are.

This IS how we are.

It's painful. It's infuriating.

I want peace, but I'm furious that only white people receive it.

Not to sound like a 90s shallow prep, but how you dress can affect your self esteem, and putting energy into wearing things you actively like and projecting an ideal of yourself through fashion instead of seeing clothes as things you have to put on out of obligation helps.

It also can give you a sense of control over your appearance that you otherwise wouldn’t have lmao

I bought a cape because of this

michaelmilkers

this post is written in a humorous tone but this is the realest shit.

two years ago i wore baggy sweatpants and flip flops every day because i was depressed but then decided eh to hell with it and bought some black edgy emo clothes bc thats how i always wanted to dress but never got a chance to and it was only then that i realized that the sweatpants flip flops look was just keeping me in my depression funk. i didnt like the way i looked and i didnt identify with the clothes i was wearing and it only made me feel worse.

i then went through my entire wardrobe and got rid of everything that made me feel that way.

now i have multiple outfit possibilities requiring different levels of effort but on days where putting on clothes just seems like a project i just have to put on black jeans and a band t-shirt and i can still feel good about the way i look which is a really good way to start off my day.

i can not recommend this approach to clothing enough.

this is why we say all cops are bastards. this is why we need to abolish the police. the cruelty is not an accident. it is the point.

Reminder that Stonewall wasn’t about marriage equality. Stonewall was about police brutality. It was about systemic abuse and subordination. Stonewall was spearheaded by black trans women. As we celebrate Pride 2020, within the context of the Black Lives Matter riots, it’s imperative that we remember that.

Riots in protest of police brutality are the reason that we have more rights today. Do not forget your roots.

You can’t celebrate Pride while simultaneously condemning the Black Lives Matter riots and protests that are happening right now. Know your history.

think it is a good time to bring up the fact that the police in the united states of america are not legally required to protect people. that is straight up not part of their job.

furthermore, the united states police system was created largely out of runaway slave roundup patrols, they never existed to protect people, they were created to protect “property rights.”

They do not and have not ever existed to help keep folks safe. That is quite literally not even in their constitutional job description.

yknow, this is what these entities are protecting ...

“when the looting starts the shooting starts” he says during the highest unemployment rate in the country he himself has done little to mitigate outside of send folks to their deaths.

these people care about property, these systems care about property. it was never about protecting life.

“EXCEPT AS PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME”

colloquial-vignettes

Arkansas is trying to get an amendment on the ballot for this election that would make slavery as punishment illegal.

postmarxed

That ballot initiative is being led by Roderick Talley, the guy who got Little Rock police on his security cameras breaking into his apartment and raiding it for cocaine and later sued the department and got some of their policies changed to reduce these raids. He’s also leading an initiative to restore voting rights to felons in Arkansas and running for state representative this year.

The arsonist who set fire to the Autozone (video below) in Minneapolis has been identified as officer JACOB PEDERSON, a COP and NOT a protestor attending the Justice for George Floyd protests, by his ex wife. Pigs are framing arson on protestors demanding justice for the murder of an innocent Black man by killer cops.
