I havent seen anyone talk about this yet so im making a post. 

So lets say you’re researching something for a paper (or just for fun) and the research paper you want to read is behind a paywall, or the site makes you create an account first, or makes you pay to download, or limits you to only 5 free articles, or otherwise makes it difficult for you to read what you want.

do not fear! copy the link to the article

go to sci-hub.se         (the url is always changing so its best to check out whereisscihub.now.sh to find what the current url is)

Opinion | How Western media would cover Minneapolis if it happened in another country

America, a former British colony, is descending into a spiral of disease and increasing ethnic violence.

Holy shit

June 1 2020 - Riot police in Buffalo attack some peaceful protesters standing with their hands up, tackling them to the ground, beating them with clubs and shooting them with pepper balls. About a minute later, after police have blocked off the street, a truck rams through the police line. Sometimes karma works quickly. [video]

Genuinely shocked Anderson Cooper let Cornel West go off like this on CNN without trying to cut him off. Holy fuck this is good

I think we are witnessing America as a failed social experiment. What I mean by that is, that the history of black people for over 270 years has been looking at America’s failures. It’s capitalist economy could not generate and deliver in such a way that people could live lives of decency. The nation-state, it’s criminal justice system, it’s legal system could not generate protection of rights and liberties. And now our culture, of course, everything’s so market-driven, everything’s for sale; you can’t deliver the kind of really real nourishment for soul, for meaning, for purpose.

And so when you get this perfect storm of all of these multiple failures, at these different levels of the American empire. And Martin King already told us about that. When I saw those pictures there in Atlanta, you can see Martin right there in Atlanta saying “I told you about militarism, I told you about poverty, I told you about materialism, I told you about racism in all of it’s forms, whatever forms it takes, I told you about xenophobia. And now these chickens are coming home to roost, you’re reaping what you sow.”

And in this instant, you have brother George, where it is so clear, it is a lynching at the highest level, no one can deny it. And I thank God that we have people in the streets. Can you imagine this kind of lynching taking place and people are indifferent? People don’t care? People are callous?…

YALL THE AMISH CAME OUT ❤️❤️❤️

[angiewrltes-deactivated20201222]

I was corrected on Twitter by someone from the community — they’re actually Old Order Mennonites! Although they follow that ‘plain living’ doctrine that the Amish do, they also carefully allow technology into their communities. Televisions are one of the few pieces of modern tech that’s allowed in certain Mennonite sects. The Mennonites and Quakers are no nonsense when it comes to oppression of any kind. Google more about them and you’ll quickly find out that it’s no surprise they showed up. They always show up.

after hurricane sandy, mennonites came through Far Rockaway, NY and rebuilt houses and Black churches that were devastated for free, the ones i’ve met have always been down to do real work for the cause
