drop dead, you fuckers!

[sensibleshroom]

So in other news my father is threatening homelessness in the middle of a pandemic. I am currently very sick, they don't know what's wrong with me, I need to pay off medical bills, and I honestly do not know what's going on. He is not threatening homelessness over the quarantine. My younger brother just went to another city to stay with his uncle for several days, and they are constantly breaking quarantine for social hour here because we "live in a small town and don't need to worry." I have been concerned for my safety because I do not know if my immune system is compromised. I need help to get back to Tucson and eventually Oregon, as I have been offered a place there. If anyone can help, that would be really appreciated.

I keep saying it but it bears repeating, especially since white allies arent listening:

STOP. BRAGGING.

Stop trying to give credit to people on the front lines of these protests.

I need to stress this, you are doing the cops job for them.

Those masks you’re wearing at these protests? They’re not just to keep you from catching the rona. Its to conceal your identity.

And that entire purpose is destroyed the second you try to take or give credit for being on the front lines.

STOP. BRAGGING.

Cops are monitoring social media. The second you name someone on the ground, that person is now a target.

Now is NOT the time to be taking credit for your actions.

Keeping each other safe means keeping your mouth shut.

Do not name ANYONE on the front lines. Do not name ANYONE at the protests.

The ONLY exception to this rule is when you are outing a white supremacist or undercover cop trying to instigate more violence.

Do not name your fellow protestors. Don’t even discuss who may have done what. Stop doing the cops job for them.

Filling their snitch lines and apps with junk is great, but if you’re simultaneously going around and naming protestors, you’re not helping at all.

Stop. Bragging.

White allies, this is not the time to be taking credit.

[sohegetstodieasaint]

THIS IS NOT A GAME!

Do you remember this man? Edward Crawford? He’s dead. They ruled it a suicide. Except he had four children, a new apartment, and a new job. His own father believes it wasn’t suicide. NBC quotes “It’s not the first time a notable Ferguson protester has died from gunfire.”. Darren Seals, a Ferguson protest leader, was found shot to death inside a burning car. 

They can and WILL find, murder, and cover up more Black bodies. Cop watch , know your rights,  FILM COPS, DO NOT POINT YOUR CAMERA AT PROTESTERS/THEIR FACES. 

[mintedwitcher]

Excellent addition! Thank you for the links too.

Guys PLEASE. This isn’t the time. Anonymity is CRUCIAL. There is military personnel in the streets right now, you NEED to keep your mouths SHUT.

Stop naming protestors. Stop filming/photographing protestors faces. Learn to block out your photos and videos to conceal obvious characteristics like tattoos or unusual/noticeable hair styles/colours.

YOU NEED TO BE ANONYMOUS.

Please. Stop bragging.

Institutionalized racism

It’s taken us too long to post this on Tumblr, we’re sorry. We’ve compiled a syllabus that is free to all that addresses institutionalized racism and how it’s caused historic, pointed harm at the Black community in the U.S. Understanding history is key to understanding the present, and in order to make real changes, we need to fully understand the racist history of the U.S. Black Lives Matter.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, GOOGLE?

I know for a FACT that this video wasn’t a scam. Talented black artists contributed to it, approved of it, made it possible. The funds in the fundraiser went (and still go to) the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). 

Is this post even going to show up on anyone’s dashboards? Am I going to get censored for speaking up about this? How many people have already seen what is going on and said something about it, only for their post to be taken down? 

This is the world we live in. This is the current internet climate. Net neutrality is gone, Trump is American’s president, and Jeff Bezos rules the market. 

Black people can’t even post their own art on Youtube as a fundraiser now. Silenced for attempting to provide a way to save the lives of their families, their friends, their communities. 

IS ANYONE SEEING THIS? 

BLACK PEOPLE ARE BEING DENIED THE RIGHT TO SPEAK.

BLACK PEOPLE ARE BEING DENIED THE RIGHT TO LIVE.

If you can reblog funny cat videos or dumb memes, you can reblog this. 

Donate to those suffering, donate to those who cannot speak, and call Google the fuck out for their bullshit.

Matthew Rushin, a young black man with Autism and ADHD, was sentenced to 50 years in prison after being in a car accident, after which he was manipulated into pleading guilty for attempted suicide and murder with the promise he could return home to his mother who was battling cancer at the time. 40 years of the 50 were suspended, but he still has to serve 10 years.

There were serious injuries during the accident, but no one died. Matthew has never been in trouble before.

In the words of his mother, “Matthew has been my rock through my battle with cancer and understands what life is all about.Matthew exemplifies what it means to be a productive member our community, he is a loving, caring, compassionate about life and everything that surrounds it, student at ODU, worked at Panera and volunteered throughout our community.”

Here is the full story from his mother

Here is the petition for Governor Ralph Northam to review the case and reduce his sentence.

His case is not getting nearly the amount of attention it deserves. Please sign the petition and reblog this. Here is the official Facebook, and Instagram page is @ justice4matthewrushin

Sean Monterrosa was a 22 year old hispanic man. He was shot and killed yesterday by a police officer who fired through his squad car windshield 5 times, killing Sean while he was kneeling on the ground with his HANDS UP. The officer "mistook the hammer in his pocket for a gun" and decided to shoot him with no reasoning. His hands were up, he was complying.

extensive thread of blm related petitions that still haven’t reached their goal

[44bugs]

Wait can somebody tell me that one quote that goes like this cause I can’t remember what it says

Some guy: loving me is a hard job (or something along those lines)

Other guy(I feel like it had homoerotic subtexts??? Idk I don’t remember their names): no it’s not. Not to me.

How does that quote go???

[richietazer]

it's from "Orestes" by Euripedes translated by Anne Carson

Pylades: I'll take care of you.

Orestes: It's rotten work.

Pylades: Not to me. Not if it's you.
