Alabama A&M Bulldogs Falls 38-7 To UAB

BIRMINGHAM — It wasn’t quite the outcome the Bulldogs were looking for, but they proved to be competitive Saturday despite a 38-7 loss to UAB. It was the season opener for both teams and the first game in two seasons for UAB, which had its program dropped after the 2014 season. “The result was obviously not what we wanted,” said Alabama A&M Head Coach James Spady. “But we are going to build … and…

I love every single person who reblogged this

[achromatiq]

I don’t think people realize how much of an impact this kind of support can have, I don’t think everyone knows what these little things can mean to us.

It may just be me, I don’t know. But every single time I see this on my dash or on someone’s blog or anywhere else, I kind of just breathe a sigh of relief. That’s one more person who cares. That’s one more person who doesn’t hate me.

Because it means so much, especially when all the media is spewing out is that I’m a terrible person and no one wants people like me near them. It means so much because I’m tired of people who won’t sit next to me in class, or who choose to join the longer line at the grocery store because they don’t want to be beside me and my family. It means so much when I have to lift my head any time someone says the words Islam or Muslim because I’m scared that they’ll say something that’ll hurt, when I have to pay attention to the news because who knows what so and so is saying now, who knows which of my people are being attacked now, who knows what’s going to happen to me now.

It means so much because I’ve been given the idea that the world is against me. And a huge part of it may be, but at least I’ve been reminded that some of it, just a small group of people, acknowledges that I’m a person too. That people like me are just that, people.

Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know. But now you do, so thank you for believing that I’m human when so many people don’t.

Can someone translate this too? I’m not fluent enough but I feel like that would be helpful

Translated by a friend:

Si los agentes del ICE (Departamento de Inmigracion) se presentan en su casa:

1- No abra la puerta, pero mantenga la calma. Usted tambien tiene derechos.

2- Preguntele el motivo de la visita (Y pida un interprete en caso de que lo necesite)

3- Si le piden entrar a su casa, preguntele si tienen una orden FIRMADA POR UN JUEZ*. Si tienen la orden, pidale que se la muestren (a travez de la ventana o pasandola por debajo de la puerta).

4- Si NO tienen una orden FIRMADA POR UN JUEZ*, usted tiene el derecho de prohibirles entrar a su casa. Pidales que dejen cualquier informacion en la puerta o en su buzon.

4- En caso de que entren por la fuerza, no se resista. Pidale a todos en la casa que se mantengan en silencio y no digan nada.

5- En caso de que lo arresten, mantengase en silencio y no firme nada hasta que haya hablado con un abogado.

*Una Orden Administrativa del ICE (Formulario I-200, I-205) no les permite a los agents entrar a su casa sin el consentimiento suyo

Veterans Ask Native Elders For Forgiveness At Standing Rock.

I never thought I would see this day when a white man apologizes for the tyranny and oppression of Native American population. This is so powerful. This is the nation that I want - responsible, compassionate and that learns from its mistakes.

God bless them!

This is a great story of acceptance. Think society needs to hear more of these types of stories.

For the millions of you that will lose your insurance if Obamacare is repealed please call Paul Ryan. It took me about two minutes, most of that waiting patiently for the recording to end.

Paul Ryan is conducting a phone poll on the ACA (Obamacare), hoping to hear overwhelming popular opposition to it. If you would like to express your support for the Affordable Care Act, call [phone]. Press 2 to weigh in on the issue. You’ll hear a brief recording about HR-3762, Paul Ryan’s proposal to gut the ACA, and President Obama’s use of his veto power to stop it. Then, you will have a chance to indicate your opinion with the press of a button.

Press 1 if you support Obamacare, 2 if you oppose it.

There is also an option after making your choice to leave a voicemail for Speaker Ryan, which I did, and recommend doing, but is obviously not required.

[cavesalamander]

You don’t have to talk to anyone!! Should be easier on anxiety that way.

But make sure you listen to the options.

[leavethesky]

You will have to listen to 2-3 minutes of blatant lies and propaganda, but it’s worth it to tell this monster that he’s got it all wrong on ACA.

[bubonickitten]

someone mentioned on one of my posts not long ago that the number has apparently changed (I guess because it’s after hours??? idk).

the number above worked when I called earlier today, but apparently as of now (11/19, 5:45 EST) the number is: [phone]

I haven’t tried the latter number but just in case the first doesn’t work, try that second one.

also though, there’s a really weird 60-90 seconds of complete dead silence before the phone tree starts. no “please hold” or waiting music or anything.

DON’T HANG UP if you don’t hear anything at first.

Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you

Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others, get help, talk to someone, anyone. Humanity has survived before and we can do it now if we all just support each other. My country and my people let me down and endangered my life but there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about that so let’s try to spread the love that is so clearly lacking.
