Someday we will be liberated from the infamous Monochrome Toy Act of 1837 that imposed gender based restrictions on our ability to buy toys of multiple colors.

Life is fucking hard, man.

So glad this brilliant child is telling it like it is.

Turkish soldiers prepare a scene for their propaganda in Nusaybin. The people on the ground are Kurds. The scene was prepared to show that “the Kurds surrendered”

[dasfinanzamt-deactivated2026030]

Here is an article about this. A video used by Turkish media claiming to show Kurdish militants of the Civil Defence Units (YPS) in Nusaybin surrendering, has been exposed as being staged. The video, which showed mostly young Kurd teenagers being humiliated, had caused outrage among Kurdish communities as claims were made that the people were civilians.A new video has now emerged on social media, showing soldiers directing the people to kneel on the floor, as photos are taken while announcements are made for others to surrender.

Turkish media had portrayed the incident as a ‘historic victory’ for state forces as up to 40 people were paraded with their hands in the air, 'surrendering’ in Nusaybin.

Kurdish sources, including HDP and DBP executives, claimed that the people in question were civilians who had been evacuated out of Nusaybin after YPS militia declared their withdrawal on 26 May.

The video has further put mainstream Turkish media objectivity and honesty in the limelight as many cases of manipulation, psychological warfare and fabricated news items continue being found out on social media.

That which is now to be expropriated is no longer the labourer working for himself, but the capitalist exploiting many labourers. This expropriation is accomplished by the action of the immanent laws of capitalistic production itself, by the centralisation of capital. One capitalist always kills many.

Just a reminder that @rowanblanchardxx is 14 and understands the world and its inequalities better than many adults. She spoke to Entertainment Weekly about feminism and how social media (Instagram specifically) is helping the revolution.

In June 1967, Israel won a stunning military victory against its neighbors, elating Israelis and the global Jewish community with a sense that the grand experiment of a Jewish state might really work. Three weeks later, amid Israel’s national euphoria, the country’s founding prime minister emerged from retirement to warn Israelis that they had sown the seeds of national self-destruction. David Ben-Gurion, 81 years old, insisted that Israel, which had conquered the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank in the war, must immediately give them up. If they did not, he said, this act of forcible occupation would corrupt the Jewish state and possibly destroy it outright. His speech was barely covered in the Israeli press and widely ignored by Israelis. The Palestinians have lived under Israeli occupation now for 48 years.

They will only take action if somebody says, ‘I’m going to rape you at this time and in this way… Trolls or online harassers can have all these loopholes where they can say things that make you literally never want to leave your house again, and yet the FBI, the police aren’t going to do anything to them in return.

Activist Emily May, co-founder and executive director of Hollaback, points out that this is what really happens when you try to report online harassment to the police.  (via micdotcom)

One Year Later, Hopes Fade for Girls Kidnapped by Boko Haram | Daniel Magnowski, Michael Olukayode and Elisha Bala-Gbogbo

A year after his daughters Amina and Zainab were kidnapped by Boko Haram militants with more than 200 other girls from their school dormitories in the Nigerian town of Chibok, Yakubu Maina fears he may never see them again.

“Sometimes I cannot but think my daughters have been killed,” Maina, a 50-year-old farmer, said by phone from Chibok. “Who knows if the girls are even still alive?”

The strong message of a woman during the french marathon in Paris

At the Paris Marathon, a Gambian runner sported a sign to educate society about the problem of access to clean water in African countries.

The Gambian runner, dressed in a traditional outfit, has indeed taken the start of the marathon a full  can on his head and a double-sign on the body. "In Africa, women walk that distance every day for clean water" can be read on the panel that Siabatou Sanneh wears on his chest.

  A major issue on the African continent since only 61% of people in sub-Saharan Africa had access to safe drinking water in 2011. The most needed food for human survival is still a luxury for a large segment of the population that must scramble to get them.

On the second part of the sign, a call for help comes to push for mobilization. "Help us reduce the distance" is written on the poster signed by the British organization Water for Africa. The mode of action is not random because the media coverage of the Paris marathon allowed the claim to be heard by the public on this day when opened the 7th World Water Forum in South Korea.

The Bank of International Settlements: Meet The Secretive Group That Runs The World

“ Over the centuries there have been many stories, some based on loose facts, others based on hearsay, conjecture, speculation and outright lies, about groups of people who “control the world.” Some of these are partially accurate, others are wildly hyperbolic, but when it comes to the historic record, nothing comes closer to the stereotypical, secretive group determining the fate of over 7 billion people, than the Bank of International Settlements, which hides in such plain sight, that few have ever paid much attention. “ Read full article here : http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-bank-of-international-settlements-meet-the-secretive-group-that-runs-the-world/5442583

Daech à Damas : depuis mercredi 1er avril, ce scénario redouté par le régime de Bachar Al Assad n’est plus seulement une hypothèse.
