This is so important. There are literal studies proving white doctors don’t think black patients (especially black woman) feel pain the same way white people do. Please advocate for yourself and stay safe.

This is very scary and concerning for black people. AGAIN DEHUMANIZING BLACK PEOPLE

Boack people health conditions aren't taken seriously compared to others.Many black people are scared to go to the hospital for this reason

Black women are 4x likely to die from complications of childbirth than white women in the United states.they've had experience that has unacceptably poor maternal health outcomes

Beware!

How tf does she stay this calm

Because of the whole Angry Black Woman™ stereotype, the only way to be taken seriously is to be calm, collected, and concise while still speaking passionately about such topics. If she raised her voice, or let her hand move above chest level, she would’ve immediately been dismissed as an “angry black woman” who needs to “control herself” while her accurate rebuttal would’ve been thrown out the window.

Notice how her neutral pose is her hands in her lap. When she speaks about oppression, she taps her hand on the table laying out her points then back to neutral. She knew exactly what had to be done to be taken seriously.

For anyone confused, what actually happened is that the US president ordered a drone strike on an Iranian general in a last ditch bid to stay in office.

Iran wants revenge and has declared 3 days of national mourning.

Trump knows that historically, people have been unwilling to unseat a president in times of war. He wants us to go to war so he won’t be voted out. It’s more important than ever that you vote now, in the primaries and otherwise. Don’t let us go to war because an impeached man wanted a few more years of job security.

Just because you “function” doesn’t mean you don’t deserve help.

Reporter: What’s your name?

Hong Kong Protestor: Lee Chun Hei! I won’t commit suicide!

Police:

A reminder that Hong Kong police have been arresting children as young as 11. They have also fired at press and begun arresting reporters and aid workers with the excuse that they ‘might be protesters in disguise’.

They have been filmed beating protesters that have already been subdued/cuffed, as well as using their weapons incorrectly (firing rubber bullets at close range) and driving into crowds.
