Minneapolis, MN. May 28th 2020

for people who are unaware of why the riots in minneapolis started happening, here’s the facts:

it wasn’t george floyd’s protesters who started reacting violently; it was the cops.

the protest was peaceful until the cops showed up in riot gear, and started using water cannons, followed up by tear gas and rubber bullets. i got videos from friends who were there, of people screaming and running away from the cops shooting the water cannons, rubber bullets and throwing tear gas at them. they were even shooting at the protesters dragging people away to get medical attention.

speaking of medical attention, dispatch refused to provide any medical attention to the protesters. people literally had to drive their bleeding friends to the hospital because they refused to send ambulances.

cops are using non-lethal weapons in a lethal way. they shot rubber bullets into people’s heads and injured them. there’s dozens of photos of protesters with bleeding head wounds from the rubber bullets.

multiple people used police scanners and heard that there were undercover cops pretending to be violent protesters who were throwing rocks and whatnot at the police, with dozens of eyewitness accounts confirming that information.

the person who instigated all the chaos last night (it was a fire at an autozone) with the looting and burning buildings is highly suspected to be an undercover cop pretending to be a protester, because the video of him keeps getting taken down. protesters tried to stop him but couldn’t because he had a hammer and they were scared for their safety.

the cops jammed cell phone towers and cut live streams to interrupt broadcasts and to prevent people from seeing what was really going on and who actually started the violence.

the cops lied about protesters being armed and about throwing rocks and are literally trying to continue the violence happening and yet no one is holding them accountable for that.

and during all this, the cop that murdered george floyd still hasn’t been arrested. he has had more than ten complaints filed against him and was involved in three other civilian shootings in the past. and yet he’s still out free along with his three other buddies involved, probably sitting on his couch while all this chaos is happening.

so don’t get it twisted. the cops just want to change the narrative to make it look like they’re the wounded and righteous party, when they’re the ones who started reacting violently in the first place and are still acting violently. so don’t you ever forget who started this tragedy and murdered someone, and who are continuing to react to the situation with violence.

Reblogging again to remind people that the people of Iran are human and maybe we shouldn’t go to war with them. Just a suggestion.

This is exactly why the electoral college system is useless and needs to be replaced

[unlimited-shitpost-works-deacti]

Los Angeles county doesn’t need to be running the parts of the country that they don’t live in, change my mind.

[seelcudoom]

yall do know that goes both ways right? like why should georgia be running things  in los angeles?

also the fact that even for those states in question the electoral college is still bad, states arent homogenous, and most states are winner take all, meaning a lot of people in georgias vote counts for literally nothing and its still decided by major population centers within the state

also also, the presidency is for running the entirety of the united states, which last i checked people from los angeles were us citizens just as much as people from georgia, so why shouldent they have equal say in how there nation is run? you dont want someone in las angeles deciding how georgia is run? thats what local government is for, and las angeles doesent get to vote for georgias governer

[cursed--alien]

Also, a lot of people forget that the majority of people who live in lare population centers aren’t super-privileged rich people.

Propogandists have done their damndest to convince the rural working class that there is no urban working class, because they fear what would happen if the two joined forces.

If the exit poll is accurate at all then I hope that this sheds light on how messed up our voting system is. The seat share is so disproportionate to the vote share

Today, Boris Johnson stated that children of single mothers are "ill-mannered, ignorant, aggressive and illegitimate". I am writing this as a child of a single mother, who is studying in one of the best universities in the U.K and one of the best politics schools in the world. Honestly, I would've been a much worse person if my dad didn't leave, he treated both my mum and I very badly, and from my perspective, when he left, he got bored of us and tried to remake his family. My mum is the strongest person I know. She went through that entire experience, while trying to raise a teenage girl, along with having to deal with other things that had happened with the family. Through that, she has been my friend and has helped supported me throughout, taken interest in the things I am interested in, has helped me through multiple mental breakdown, while fighting her own battles. There isn't a day where I am not grateful for what my mum has done for me.

The way that Boris has criticised her, along with every other single mother, is unacceptable. I am not aggressive, ill-mannered, illegitimate or ignorant. In fact, he is more ignorant in this scenario, growing up as a privileged male, while leaving his wife and children. In fact, has he not just described his own children as all of those things?

I'm upset about how I, and people who have gone through the same experiences that I have (most even worse) have been described like this, by the man who is, and will most likely still be, our prime minister. However, I'm even more upset about how he has criticised my mum's ability to bring me up, as well as other single mothers.

I'm writing this at 12am, I'm tired and emotional, but I urge you- please do not vote for the Tories. Single mothers aren't the only group of people that Boris has marginalised, but muslim women, gay men, and I'm sure plenty of other groups in society too. Please, don't give Boris Johnson power.
