“we worked together long ago, me and the sterlings… if you want to call it that.”

The Justice Department gave the agency the temporary power “to enforce any federal crime committed as a result of the protests over the death of George Floyd.”
HI THIS JUST DROPPED
COVER YOUR FACE. MAKE YOURSELF INVISIBLE. DO NOT BRING YOUR PHONE. DO NOT DISCUSS YOUR PLANS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE
The system doesn’t have to be broke
Because unlike us
The system has a choice
can you guys please sign this petition, it only takes seconds.
shukri abdi, a black muslim 12 year old girl was pushed into a river by her racist white class bullies and drowned to death. she didn’t know how to swim. no one was charged for her death and she still hasn’t gotten justice despite there being a witness.
read more info about shukri here.
Please spread this, this "man" cannot be acquitted because people didn't know what they were doing and mass asked for the wrong charges to be made!
And in some good news today:
yall need to stop getting angry over a goddamn game and look around you
Hey, if you’re not black and can’t get out and protest but want to know how you can help black people, consider donating to the Black Covid Relief Fund which goes directly to black people who’ve been affected by this pandemic. Black People are being disproportionately affected by this virus and anything you can give helps.
I see y’all have already tore @playchoices and Pixelberry a new asshole for their post and said mostly everything that needed to be said, but I’ll also add on:
• Hire more black writers, artists, editors, coders, etc. There’s way too much black talent in the Bay Area going unnoticed
• Call our your tone deaf (at best) and racist (at worst) fans when you see them acting a plum fool on social media, because we know you see it (the ignorant comments are literally under their FB post as I’m typing this out)
• Stop partaking in tokenism, and actually give the black characters meaningful storylines.
• Tailor your dialogue to actually fit black MCs and customizable black LIs. This one size fits all dialogue is a mess
• Keep this same energy a month from now, a year from now, two years from now when the hashtags are no longer trending 24/7
And @playchoices the very, very least you guys could’ve done with your huge platform is link a petition or two
“blue lives matter” is the stupidest phrase I have ever heard. being a cop is a CHOICE. you can get a different job. being black is not a choice. you can’t get a different skin color. ACAB.
