Police open fire on queer bar giving first aid and washing pepper spray out of Black Lives Matter protesters’ eyes

An LGBT+ bar owner in North Carolina was fired at by police during ongoing Black Lives Matter protests for running a first aid station on hi

They attacked Stonewall, too

I’m mad that this was posted by @one-time-i-dreamt​ because boy i fucking wish this was a dream

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I'm sorry, I wish it was just a nightmare too, but unfortunately it isn't and I have this one relatively big platform where I can spread knowledge, share information, raise awareness, make a change and my heart is telling me that I need to use it so I'm sorry for not posting dreams at the moment, but I can't watch people around me suffering and ignore it knowing I could have done something. Even what I am doing right now doesn't feel remotely enough.

Apparently this is not the first time police have tried to disguise themselves as Orthodox Jews before. This is so insidious.

[yekkes]

@queermachmir not only that but I am wondering if they are hoping to intentionally strain black-Jewish relations by doing this. Seems a classic pattern in history, ruling class hopes to stoke hatred/blame on Jews so people don’t see the real problem.

I’m fairly sure most of us are aware that nearly 50% of the victims of extrajudicial police killings in the US are disabled, and I’d like to think most of us have also thought through the fact that being black and disabled is a lot more dangerous than being white and disabled.

But I’d just like to add the results of this study to your pool of knowledge.

More than half of black people in the US with a disability will be arrested by the time they reach their late 20s.

Just sit with that for a moment. More than half.

Please help me out if you can

I’m a mixed afro-indigenous lesbian in the US and I was shot seven times with riot rounds from 20 feet away at a peaceful protest a few days ago while standing still and silent by myself in front of a line of armed police and soldiers after the crowd broke after we were tear gassed. Four of the hits caused serious injury and tore tendons in my arm and my calf. I’m proud of my decision to stand and let them shoot me over and over because I wanted to make a statement, I wanted to bring myself to risk my well being for something that I think really matters, and I wanted to stop the line from advancing on the rest of the fleeing crowd, but I’m in a lot of pain from the damage and my limbs ain’t working so great right now. 

The state is re opening soon and I don’t have a job, the job market is gonna be rough, and right now I have limited movement in my dominant hand/arm and both my legs so I don’t know when I’ll even be able to work. I have no money, I made like 4K last year, and I don’t really own much of anything, so if anyone can donate I just need money to live on- pay bills, rent, buy food and essentials, etc, and just stabilize my situation, I’d really appreciate it

I’ve never seen this with the update and it makes it so much funnier

[mens-rights-activia]

I saw this post and idk it made me feel some type of way. I may get flack for this but idc I feel it must be said. Poaching is a lot more nuanced than “bad people kill animals.”

Poaching, especially in Africa, is a byproduct of colonization and poverty. Although poaching existed prior to European colonizers, it was not done at a scale and frequency that would threaten wildlife populations. Poaching exploded under colonial rule where things like ivory, pelts, hunting trophies, and in some cases, land were prized and sought after by European settlers. This led to an initially boom that devastated local animal populations and cause some tribes to become very reliant on poaching as a means of subsistence.

Additionally, due to poverty, people are still being driven to poach animals, even endangered animals because it’s a more profitable way to support oneself and community, and predatory animals can be poached because they threaten and devastate local livestock. Anti-poaching measures rarely take into account the human and economic drive behind poaching. You’re shooting and killing poachers but what about their families and communities that they support? Are those animals in a better place when there more people waiting to hunt them? Anti poaching measures don’t actually care about eliminating poaching, if they did they’d come from the angle of human and economic development and community improvement. Because let’s be real, if those people living in their poor, rural, undeveloped, undereducated*, regions with not many opportunities turn to poaching, it’s not from a moral standpoint, they’re chasing survival.

African governments be corrupt af, keeping all the money for themselves and leaving masses in poverty then erect some anti-poaching laws to please smug westerners as if they aren’t driving people into desperation. And then poaching rings take advantage of this desperation, much like a gang would, and supply them with guns and a promise of a better life. And bam, you have a poaching problem. So long as you have people in desperation, poaching will still be a problem.

Like many social issues; drugs, violence, crime; a closer look and you’ll find that poverty and lack of opportunity are at the bottom of it...

[ninjakittenarmy]

Ok but none of that excuses their actions. You’re absolutely right about the root cause of poaching and the desperation these people suffer, but they still absolutely deserve to die for it.

[mens-rights-activia]

Im not excusing poaching but I’m framing it because the context matters, also sorry I simply don’t agree with “they deserve to die from it” because genuinely it’s not even well understood by the people poaching the importance and endangerment of the animals and the idea that animal life is equal to or more important than human life, is very western thought*** so even the moral framing is different.

Like do you understand that these people aren’t viewing their actions the same way that you a westerner with your much higher levels of convenience and safety would? Like a lot of these people can’t even begin to understand the idea that “we’re killing all the elephants” when they are struggling with bottom tier of maslow’s hierarchy of needs and not to mention lack of education, please consider a different point of view.

I hate poaching. I love animals, I want a better world for them and I truly believe that we can make a better world for them but making a better world for animals starts by making a better world for people, all other measures are temporary and will not solve the root cause because issues are more complicated than simply let’s kill all poachers
