Hello!

THE DEATH AND LIFE OF MARSHA P. JOHNSON (2017)

History isn’t something you look back at and say it was inevitable. It happens because people make decisions that are sometimes very impulsive and of the moment, but those moments are cumulative realities. — Marsha P. Johnson

Queens started being filed out and being put into police cars, and guns had been drawn. Molotov cocktails were flying. And I’m like, “Oh my God, the revolution is here. Thank God. You’ve been treating us like shit all these years? Uh uh. Now it’s our turn.” — Sylvia Rivera

Please, if you're doing Blackout Tuesday, use that tag because the BLM tag looks like this right now

The blogs this message is being posted to are not frequently updated, but I think it’s important to make my stance excessively clear regardless of that.

This blog stands with the protesters fighting for justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and all other innocent black lives taken by police officers who still have not been arrested and charged appropriately for their crimes.

I implore all of you who follow these blogs to stand with the Black Lives Matter movement, listen to black voices and pay attention to what they’re asking for, and help them however you’re able.

This link leads to a collection of resources on how to assist the protests and places you can send donations to.

Please show love for your fellow humans. Property lost can be repaired or replaced, but lives can never be brought back. None of this would be happening if the officers at fault had been held accountable and charged for the murders.

“Lawyers offering pro bono services for arrested protestors. Minneapolis, Houston, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles. I know there are far more

[queeranarchism]

This is great, it really is. But also: if you can, and especially if you’re up on charges that could result in prison time, please ask your local BLM or other activist group about pro bono lawyers that they have a experience with.

Handling activist cases takes experience. Like any aspect of legal cases, it’s something people specialize in and someone who isn’t specialized in it yet is going to have less results. If at all possible, find a lawyer that has done a case like yours many times before.

It’s great that so many people who do not usually take activist cases are stepping up now that a lot more lawyers will be needed. Some of them might stick around and pretty much every activist movement needs more committed pro bono activism lawyers. But, ya know.. still think about how complicated your case is as you decide who should represent you.

i made info from the article into a graphic for crossposting onto other platforms!! forgive the art, i am a babey at using illustrator

thank you!!

[ianmalcolmptsd]

I haven’t been seeing this on many protest posts so I want to add it here even though I don’t know if it’s really facial recognition tech related:

Don’t just cover your face!

You need to cover everything that is identifyiable about you, which especially means things like tattoos, distinctive hair colors/styles, and prominent piercings. Modifications to your body make you stand out, which is cool sometimes BUT NOT DURING A PROTEST.

i know there’s a lot going on but ICE are now one step closer to literally creating gas chambers. they are spraying a chemical called HDQ neutral roughly 100 times a day, every 15 minutes at the adelanto detention center (one of the biggest in the country). people are getting rashes, headaches, their insides are bleeding, etc. the guards are wearing gloves and masks but the detainees have NOTHING. and here’s a quick reminder - america inspired the nazis to create gas chambers when they gassed latino people during the 1917 bath riots. 

here’s a petition to sign. it’s close to it’s goal. if there’s anything else we can do to help i’ll update this post.

[your-url-is-problematic]

I don’t have the words to properly explain how horrifying this is. In April, the advocacy group Freedom For Immigrants published a report about unsanitary conditions at the detention center, where the immigrants were made to clean the facilities with only water, or shampoo. According to their report, there were sick detainees there - possibly with COVID-19, but it’s unclear since they weren’t being tested - and the conditions could easily lead to a situation in which the virus exploded among those there.

The guards are spraying this disinfectant in retaliation for the report. To be clear - HDQ is an industrial-strength disinfectant, which according to the manufacturer is “harmful if inhaled” and “causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage.” The guards are spraying it on everything every 15-30 minutes, according to sources, and immigrants in the center have already experienced severe symptoms including blisters, rashes, bleeding, fainting, breathing difficulties, headaches, stomach pain, and nausea.

And let’s be real - ICE doesn’t give a shit, either about protecting these people or about preventing a COVID outbreak. ICE, according to their own reports, currently has 25,911 people in custody, of which only 2,670 have been tested. 1,392 of those were positive. In simple terms - less than 10% of detainees have been tested. Of those, more than half are positive. We cannot estimate how many sick people ICE is currently holding, or how many more will get sick without any kind of prevention or care.

ICE is killing people through neglect, and when they dared complain - they started gassing them.

Unfortunately, with Trump in the white house, petitions aren’t doing much. What we can do, however, is donate to the advocacy group that is bringing these things to light, allowing them to continue their work and hopefully free more immigrants. Their donation page is here. Please spread this.

I did this compilation right after Vine went down, and I thought I lost it, but I finally found it

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was walking my dog in a public park by some soccer fields and there was this birthday party going on that turned into an orgy. So I was obviously freaked out and took my dog and ran into the woods where we ran into Charles de Gaulle sitting alone at a table with a cake on it and a giant SpongeBob piñata hanging on a tree branch. He looked sad so me and my dog decided to join him. Basically, de Gaulle was sad because he was the party planner or something and it all messed up so he had to hide in the woods and he stole the cake and the piñata. We just talked for a bit and it was really nice. Honestly, I forgot most of this, but the dream ended up with us fucking on the table in the middle of the woods and now I’m scared to sleep again.

Reminder that it really doesn’t matter what ways you’re marginalized, if you’re not black you’re just as capable of anti blackness as white cishet people. No amount of “but I’m gay!”, “but I’m trans!”, or “but I’m not white!” changes that.

And being neurodiverse/disabled isn’t an excuse for anti blackness either.

[diskhorsedudes]

Don’t like this post if you’re not gonna also reblog it.

Boost my voice, don’t just like it for woke points.

[diskhorsedudes]

I’d fucking love it if white people didn’t use this post to pat themselves on the back. I guarantee that no amount of “don’t people know this already?” or “isn’t this obvious?” will actually make you a good ally to black people.

The only things that will make you a good ally to us is listening to us, boosting our voices, defending us when we need it, calling out your fellow whites when they display overt and/or covert racist behavior, and checking yourself consistently.
