EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY, members of the KKK may seem dumb and obnoxious but who the hell knows what they got planned. All KKK members need to be locked up forever. This isn’t about “freedom of speech” anymore, this is protecting minorities at the fullest extent.
this is why i don’t get how people say “both sides have problems” sorry hun, but last time I checked threatening to kill over 11 MILLION people was so much worse then asking to be treated like a human being.
Last week, a named white supremacist did an interview with a major news outlet and said killing Jews was one of the right’s top values. Now another alt-righter is threatening to do the same to Latinx immigrants.
THESE ARE NOT EMPTY THREATS. BELIEVE THESE MONSTERS WHEN THEY GO ON LIVE TV AND SAY THEY WANT TO MURDER MINORITIES.
THESE ARE NOT JUST WORDS, THESE ARE ACTS VIOLENCE
Yall say this “never again” shit abt the holocaust but the reason it happened was because people ignored hitler’s hate speech and blew it off as being all talk. FUCKING DO SOMETHING.

Another source I just googled from BBC of the same incident. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40482458
He’s also 23. Gotta love that white millennial racism
There are Native American reservations poorer than the poorest coal towns and bigger than the state of Delaware, but I don’t hear pundits talking about their economic anxiety much.
I don’t know if this reality is going to get through the addled brains of the heavily-propagandized working poor who get their information from Fox News and the right-wing bullshit machine, but hope springs eternal.
We don’t deserve this man
Police say startled shoppers at the Colorado Walmart where a shooter opened fire and killed three stalled the search process after they drew their own handguns in defense.
“The shoppers’ immediate response to the violent event ‘absolutely slowed’ investigation as it left authorities scanning through surveillance tapes in pursuit of the single armed attacker.
The few innocent yet armed individuals were eventually weeded out as suspects, amid the several hour-long investigation which began Wednesday night and into Thursday morning.
A police spokesperson confirmed after the building had been deemed ‘safe enough’ to enter, officials quickly began examining footage from inside the supermarket, according to The Denver Post.
‘That’s when we started noticing that a number of individuals had pulled weapons,’ said Victor Avila, who works in part for the Thornton Police Department.
‘At that point, as soon as you see that, that’s the one you try to trace through the store, only to maybe find out that’s not him, and we’re back to ground zero again, starting to look again. That’s what led to the extended time.‘”
Oh! Oh, do I understand correctly that none of these innocent yet armed individuals went on to shoot the actual shooter? I feel faint with surprise
I am shocked. Stunned even. You mean all of those good guys with a gun didn’t do a damned thing. Quick, I need my smelling salts.
Oh but they COULD have done something!!! They VERY EASILY could have mistaken EACH OTHER as the Active Shooter and started a full blown firefight AMONGST THEMSELVES/Arriving Police.
The longer this infantile attidute about guns persists? The more shit like this is gonna happen and, INEVITABLY, SOMBODIE is going to pull a trigger. Then? Once THAT kind of adrenaline fueled/panic stricken shit STARTS? Luck/Fate will be the ONLY thing that determines who/how many get hurt or die.
You mean to tell me that not only did these people with guns not instantly fix the situation like the NRA and Rupublicans love to say they would, but they actually made it worse and weren’t American heroes ? NO WAY!
They VERY EASILY could have mistaken EACH OTHER as the Active Shooter and started a full blown firefight AMONGST THEMSELVES/Arriving Police.
this is what I always bring up. How is anyone supposed to know who the “good guys with guns” are?
“Beyond a reasonable doubt” is the standard for criminal justice. It’s not the standard for counter-intelligence determinations. The preponderance of the evidence ever-more clearly indicates: In ways we cannot yet fully reckon—but can no longer safely deny—the man in the Oval Office has a guilty connection to the Russian government. That connection would bar him from literally any other job in national security except that of head of the executive branch and commander- in-chief of the armed forces of the United States.

Trump is so evil and dangerous, he’s put me and David Frum on the same side.

Someone said "Are you really so stupid to think that Africa has the same technological advances as us? If they did they would probably have clean water and not live in houses made of sticks and mud. Get over yourself and stop being so ignorant."..... Below is a tiny collection of images of the Africa they refuse to show you..
ches
I’m sorry you’ve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..
Reblogging for those of you who think Africa is only what the media and movies portrays it to be
This fucks me up because it’s scary to think that we can be showed something all our lives and not even know it’s a lie
And that my friend is the power of propaganda, indoctrination, and media
Are these pictures of South Africa or of Africa as a whole?
@the-collecting-turnip From top to bottom:
1. Port Elizabeth (South Africa)
2. Unknown
3. Nairobi (Kenya)
4. Pretoria (South Africa)
5. Aburi Botanical Gardens (Ghana)
6. Cape Town (South Africa)
7. Pretoria (South Africa)
8. Harare (Zimbabwe)
9. Windhoek (Namibia)
10. Windhoek (Namibia)
To @kushandwizdom this is a rather unfair portrayal of Africa as a whole since half of these are literally just South Africa. So Instead to add to this post and better dispel the myth of Africa as the vast wasteland of poverty most people think, I found a much more mixed collection of pics from various countries.
Luanda, Angola
Agadir, Morocco
Lagos, Nigeria
Cairo, Egypt
Port Louis, Mauritius
Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire
Algiers, Algeria
Tripoli, Libya
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Tunis, Tunisia
So, there, a much better case demonstrating the various major cities around Africa showing it isn’t some technologically backwards continent, but actually pretty up-and-coming in the world of commerce.
also: we could try killing fewer preschoolers.
The Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday in a case that could reshape American democracy by considering whether extreme partisan gerrymandering — the drawing of voting districts to give lopsided advantages to the party in power — violates the Constitution.
The Supreme Court has never struck down an election map on the ground that it was drawn to make sure one political party wins an outsize number of seats. The court has, however, left open the possibility that some kinds of political gamesmanship in redistricting may be too extreme…
Justice Elena Kagan said there is “good evidence” that the maps drawn by the Republicans in Wisconsin were designed to have “a certain kind of an effect, which was to entrench a party in power.”
Justice Kagan also pressed the state’s lawyers to explain their criticism of the social scientists who have concluded that the maps are overly partisan. She noted that lawmakers use the same technology and social science to draw the maps in the first place.
“So, too, those same technologies can be used to evaluate what they are doing,” Justice Kagan said.
The case, Gill v. Whitford, No. 16-1161, started when Republicans gained complete control of Wisconsin’s government in 2010 for the first time in more than 40 years. It was a redistricting year, and lawmakers promptly drew a map for the State Assembly that helped Republicans convert very close statewide vote totals into lopsided legislative majorities…
The case is part of a larger debate over politics in redistricting, one that has taken on new urgency with the advent of sophisticated software. Both parties have engaged in partisan gerrymandering, but these days, Republicans have an advantage following a wave of victories in state legislatures that allowed lawmakers to draw election maps favoring their party.
If you’re not supportive of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Oil Pipeline, you can help First Nations like Tsleilwaututh Nation who are taking Kinder Morgan and the Canadian Federal Government to court, by donating.
Donate here.
Share the above tweet here.
Canadian Tumblrites supported the push against the Standing Rock pipeline.
It’s time for American Tumblrites to return the favor.
One more thing, if Americans and other non-Canadians aren’t familiar with this oil pipeline and its widespread opposition and want to learn more, I’m here to help. I don’t blame anyone outside of Canada who hasn’t heard of it. Its gotten almost no coverage outside of this country.
I have however been posting about this terrible project for years now. Under the #Kinder Morgan hashtag on this blog I have posted dozens if not hundreds of posts about the project from just about every angle possible (Indigenous Rights, Oil Spill Risk, Economics, Climate Change, Legal Challenges, etc).
Read all about the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion project here.
I’ll also happily answer any questions people have as well.
Get familiar, and support indigenous rights.
UPDATE:
First Nations have officially taken Kinder Morgan and the Canadian Federal Government to court:
First Nations begin court challenge against Trans Mountain pipeline
If you want to help them, donating now would be a good time. Sharing the post above about their court challenge to the pipeline would also be appreciated.
Fate of media worker Miwa Sado, 31, piles pressure on authorities to address large number of deaths linked to labour practices
“In its first white paper on karoshi last year, the government said one in five employees were at risk of death from overwork.
More than 2,000 Japanese killed themselves due to work-related stress in the year to March 2016, according to the government, while dozens of other victims died from heart attacks, strokes and other conditions brought on by spending too much time at work.
According to the white paper, 22.7% of companies polled between December 2015 and January 2016 said some of their employees logged more than 80 hours of overtime each month – the level at which working hours start to pose a serious risk to health.
Research shows that Japanese employees work significantly longer hours than their counterparts in the US, Britain and other developed countries. Japan’s employees used, on average, only 8.8 days of their annual leave in 2015, less than half their allowance, according to the health ministry. That compares with 100% in Hong Kong and 78% in Singapore.”
Excuse me, Mr. President but your tantrum tweet storm this morning attacking the mayor of San Juan, a fellow American citizen dealing with a real-time life and death struggle for hundreds of thousands of her constituents on an island of millions in crisis, is not only far below the dignity of the office you hold. It fails even the most basic test of humanity.
