The police department's spokesperson said he didn't know whether officers heard witnesses yelling that the man was deaf and couldn't hear the officers' commands.
Things to remember about the victim in this shooting:
- he was Hispanic
- he was seen trying to sign at the officers to explain what was going on
- he had no criminal record whatsoever
- neighbors reported that he always carried the “weapon” police felt threatened by, a pipe, because of the stray dogs in the area
- he showed no sign of understanding the officers’ verbal warnings not to get any closer, and it’s likely that he was advancing in order to read their lips
- he is the 712th death in police shootings this year alone
As a lifeguard, I was expected to know basic sign language in case any deaf clients came to us for help. Why the fuck are fucking police not required to have the same training, or at least be expected to entertain the thought that deaf people exist? -V
The victim’s name is Magdiel Sanchez. He was killed in September of 2017.
Prosecutors declined to charge the officer who shot and killed him.
He’s not an anonymous person, let’s remember his name and his life.
no offense but the us military is the biggest terrorist organization in the world
Beyoncé IS the HARDEST working person in music and that’s just that. I will NOT let people call her overrated…. not when she’s pulling out performaces like this coachella one. The concept, the arrangement/remixes, the dancing, HER FUCKING VOICE; this woman had twins LAST YEAR!!!! Beyoncé has gotten to the point where she could put out mediorce shit and people would still eat it up but no she’d NEVER do that. She’s always gonna bang out amazing visuals, intricate dance moves, and breaktaking vocals… we really don’t deserve her
watching Syrians in Damascus on my Twitter feed panicking and saying that can hear bombs going off & see aircraft over their heads & that they’re saying goodbye to their families and Trump/Macron/May get to sit in a nice cushy room and deal out death in the interest of fucking capital, an artificial economic concept and just I’m so angry they all deserve to die slow painful deaths
I understand a lot of us are concerned about a possible war but we have to understand that war and destruction has been unfortunate reality in Syria for YEARS. people in Damascus are waking up to sounds of explosions as we speak. we don’t have to worry about waking up to that kind of stuff here. our lives are never at danger imperial wise. we are here being secured while the US bombs innocent brown people. y’all can express your fears all you want but please please please understand your privilege when it comes to not suffering from the consequences of an imperialistic murder machine
If it escaped your radar because it’s not as enthralling as the Barnababy scandal - the Liberals want to reduce the regulations on marine parks in the Coral Sea, decreasing green conservation areas from 50 to 25 percent.
Labor has labelled this the removal of “more area from conservation than any other government in the world, ever.” This will open up previously protected areas (including parts of the Great Barrier Reef) to destructive commercial fishing activities like trawling, gillnetting and longlining from millions of fishers. The Liberals claim this will be economically beneficial but the Great Barrier Reef brings in $3.1 billion per year in tourism and yet they’re determined to destroy it. They’re even determined to ignore any reports that the reef is in danger - even from their own scientist.
The Liberals can’t be trusted with our environment.

Unionize Target.
Unionize Best Buy.
Unionize WALMART.
I guarentee you the thing Walmart fears most in this world are their workers unionizing. They are royally fucked if that happens. I was subjected to a ton of anti union propaganda while there. I also bet anything that if it did happen, they’ll raise prices, and blame it on the “unreasonable demands of the workers,” to pit the customers against the employees.
We’re forgetting someone. Unionize agricultural workers!
Unionize domestic and childcare workers, they’ve always endured working in extremely atomized, isolated working conditions that leave them uniquely vulnerable to exploitation and abuse!
UNIONIZE EVERYONE

Willem Arondeus was a Dutch resistance fighter who gave his life trying to protect his Jewish countrymen from the Nazis. Born in Amsterdam in 1895, Willem was one of six children. From a young age, he was a talented artist and his parents encouraged his creativity, until he came out as homosexual at age 17. In a time when nearly all gay people were in the closet, Willem’s parents could not accept his choice to live openly. Their rejection led Willem to run away from home. On his own, Willem took odd jobs and eventually became a successful visual artist and writer. He was commissioned to paint a mural for Rotterdam’s town hall, in a style that combined modern abstract painting with a traditional Dutch motif. Willem was a well-respected author who published a popular biography of Dutch painter and political activist Matthijs Maris. In 1940, Germany invaded the Netherlands. Willem immediately joined the resistance movement, and urged his fellow artists to fight against the Nazi occupation. WIllem published illegal anti-Nazi pamphlets calling for mass resistance against the Germans. Willem was especially committed to saving Amsterdam’s Jewish community. Bringing in others to the cause, Willem arranged for Dutch Jews to be hidden in people’s homes. He used his artistic skills to create false identity papers. In 1943, Willem hatched a brazen plan. Dressed as a German Army captain, and with 15 men behind him, Willem boldly marched into the Public Record Office, where lists identifying people as Jews were kept. Willem drugged the guards and planted a firebomb. The resulting blaze destroyed tens of thousands of documents, and delayed or prevented many Jews from being identified by the Nazis. Unfortunately, Willem was captured by the Germans and sentenced to death. Willem’s last words before being executed in July, 1943 were, “Let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards.” In 1986 Yad Vashem recognized Arondeus as Righteous Among the Nations. Because of his sexual orientation, Willem’s story was omitted from Dutch history books. Only in the last 20 years has his courage become widely known.
i have never heard of this!
gay hero 💖💖💖

ya’ll gone fuck around and miss out on something special with that fake heartless attitude.
Young girls really are pressured now more than ever to be seen as beautiful and sexy and perfect like IG models and whatever the fuck…..like that’s why you see “me at 14 vs 14 year old girls today” posts……….we didn’t have this constant stream of content like they do…..content telling us to be perfect and to have perfect clothes and sharp eyeliner wings that look photoshopped and shit like that….I mean it’s always been there but not like this…and while I think girls should be able to dress however they want and do whatever they want…..you have to take into consideration the fact that this all stems from a toxic culture where women have to be perfect and beautiful…now at younger and younger ages….and it’s really gross…and the media continues to sexualize and like…make young girls seem older and more appealing than they actually are idk the whole thing makes me so uncomfortable and it’s only going to get worse :/
The Unvarnished, Non Whitewashed Inhumanity of Slavery
(via Aframroots.com)
A captain arriving at port typically wished to sell his slaves as quickly as possible, to realize his full profit and minimize his personal risk through revolts. The day of docking at Americas, crew would gather all of the Africans captives and prepare them for auction. Preparing them would consist of slaves being washed, lathering their skin with grease or tar to give them a smooth and healthy appearance, darkening grey hairs with tar or oil, and the covering of any physical wounds. Men were forced to drink 2 shots of rum to awake them and loosen their moods during auction. In some cases, when African slaves were suffering from stomach illnesses that they contracted onboard, crews would place corks as plugs in their anuses so that the appearance of any sickness - like sudden bowels (diarrhea) - would be masked. Wealthy large plantation owners often pre-purchased their slaves, as they already knew what type of labor was needed in their fields, and some only purchased their preferred ethnic groups in Africa that they believed were stronger laborers and would offer a bigger payout. The Mandika (also referred to as Mandingo) was a major ethnic group that was in high demand for slave labor. The slaves that were not pre-purchased, were up for sale at auction.
The sale of slaves took place inside of slave pens, on ship decks, and at city Court Houses. Auctions were advertised as soon as it was confirmed when a slave ship was due to arrive. Posters labeled the incoming Africans as “merchandise” and were displayed all over towns that had existing plantations; auctioneers notified prominent plantations owners well in advance so they could prepare their funds or potential trades. There were two main types of slave auctions: those that sold to the highest bidder, and “grab-and-go” auctions (also known as scrambles). Some auctions hosted a sale of more modest amounts, ranging 10–40 slaves, but larger auction houses sold 50 to a hundred slaves in a single day.
During auction, the African slaves in America were inspected and evaluated by their prospective buyers like merchandise on display. While nude, their mouths were pulled open to view their teeth and they specifically looked for any sign of disease; their limbs were pinched to determine muscle mass, and their bodies were slapped to witness the slave’s sturdiness; each slave was forced to bend over in different directions to ensure they weren’t hiding any hidden wounds, and were made to walk up and down to detect any signs of limpness in their step. Men, women, and children all lifted various heavy items to test their physical strength. Women’s anatomies were thoroughly examined by the slave owners, as they were eager to use them at their sexual disposal. Women were seen as sexual objects first, laborers second. Their breasts, vagina, and buttocks were gawked at, rubbed, slapped, poked, and pinched, to determine how the women would respond - if their resistance was minimal to the treatment, they would be more inclined to increase their purchase amount. Buyers would have little (if any) time to ascertain the true health conditions of their African slaves, and would only discover diseases if it became apparent in the future. Once the inspections were complete, the African slaves were finally made to stand on a raised platform nude (or with a groin cloth for men), so they could be seen in their full extent by prospective buyers, and then the auctioneer started the bidding.
Healthy young men between the ages of 15 and 45 usually sold first and at the highest value, as they were considered long-term investment property – they could work the fields and produce children that would automatically become slaves. Older men and unhealthy men were also sold, at lower prices, but there was still a strong market for them, particularly amongst new plantation owners who were just starting in slave investment; elderly men were also popular as “gifts” to new young families that needed butler service or personal assistance to help keep their new household in tact. At traditional auctions, buyers would bid against each other at the starting price determined by the auctioneer, and the person who bid the most would then become owner to that slave. But for slave auction “scrambles”, a starting gun would be fired to initiate the purchase, and the buyers would surge into the slave pens to collect the individuals they desired. Fights broke out often amongst the buyers, who were determined to buy the slaves they wanted, making traditional auctioning (i.e. highest bidder) the standard practice for purchasing slaves.
American bidders didn’t normally purchase entire families, and instead opted for the strongest and healthiest member, or the most affordable, so the auctions were generally the last time existing families saw each other. Children were the last to be purchased, as there was littlest use for them, and they were given miniscule tasks in the field and as servants in the house until they could be more useful in production. Mothers of children would scream and cry during the separation process, often falling out, and would have to be carried away from the auction by other slaves. This resulted in immense depression amongst African slave mothers, who were unable to cope with the displacement of their children.
