when i say “unfollow me if you support trump” im not saying it ironically. no, seriously, if you support trump then i dont want your disgraceful ass to be in any way associated with my blog. get out.

[kingofthehilltoday]

This tumblr is pro BLM, pro LGBT, and anti cop. If you are silent right now you are complicit. Police recently killed 2 black men, Tony Mcdade and George Floyd as well as countless others in the past. There is no on the fence about this, if you arent angry at North America you're disgusting.

[kingofthehilltoday]

Again HIS name was Tony Mcdade. They didnt kill a woman, he was a man stop sharing things calling him a woman.

[starsstruck]

donate to the family of  Regis Korchinski Paquet who was killed by the toronto police.

This hardly has any notes but can I just say that non black people and white people you can in fact reblog this, thanks x

[moved-029043462834058-deactivat]

maybe aestheticizing political movements is in. bad taste.

[moved-029043462834058-deactivat]

like i don't know how to explain how weird this is but i Hate it

[moved-029043462834058-deactivat]

actually, i do know how to explain it! if you have to turn a political movement that protests against systemic violence and racism into an aesthetic for it to become worthy of your attention, you do not actually care about said movement. people are dying, cops are getting away with murder, the government has so much blood on its hands--protests are not pretty, revolution is not pretty, fighting for your rights and those of others is not pretty. stop trying to change that just because it feels "too harsh" for your aesthetic.

[mothpoem]

so direct action is not an option available to you. what can you do right now instead?

Be mindful of the content you’re putting on your social media accounts. Stop retweeting/reposting violent images and videos of black people dying. Know that content like this, even with trigger warnings included, can be very emotionally disturbing/distressing and yes, even traumatic, for black people navigating the internet right now.

Report any images and videos you see where protestors’ faces are visible/unblurred, particularly in content surrounding the lootings. Don’t retweet or repost these images and videos. This can be a death sentence.
