CEOs and large corporations are the real welfare queens 👑.

Working off of the labor of others, only there because of being born into capital and pre-existing familial or business relations? Yep

[meetnategreen]

[deathcomes4u]

And people still try to defend this shit with ‘Well they MUST work REALLY HARD to earn THAT kind of money!!!’

I assure you they don’t. I assure you the people earning the least money are working the most. I don’t see CEO’s doing 60 hour weeks just to keep food on the table. They don’t do that, because they don’t have to, because they get paid so much they aren’t desperate enough to have to.

If you follow me, reblog this. It is an important piece of data. I would love to see one for the annual tax expenditure of minimum wage versus CEO’s as a proportion of their annual income.

This is the aggregation of labor. This is what it looks like. It has happened before. It will likely happen again unless it is changed.

I like how they added “and the world” because it’s true, the rich are bastards everywhere.

[cykelops]

straight people mad at “gays only event” jokes like they dont restrict blood donations, hotels, schools, jobs, and adoption. Zzzzzzzzzz

[64bitwar]

yeah but that’s to keep blood clean you’re just tryna exclude people to be rude

[cykelops]

[paradisemantis-deactivated20181]

Straight people aren’t doing any restrictions for blood donations because of your sexuality, they restrict donation based on your participation in anal sex regardless of orientation. That is what they ask you, they don’t ask if you’re gay they ask if you have engaged in or regularly engage in anal sex because it has a higher rate of transferring the kinds of communicable diseases they can’t accept in blood samples. So everyone, not just the gays, who fucks people in the butt is not donating blood. Literally what the fuck are you talking about?

SO Y’ALL CAN JUST TALK WITHOUT USING LITERALLY FACTS NOW??? THAT’S REALLY COOL ZXDFCGVHBJNK

Anyway here are the real ass facts:

-It is 100% a ban on MSM blood…. Not that “its about all anal sex” bullshit…. That is how it has been since 1985 when the FDA put a ban on anyone that had “participated in MSM sexual contact since 1975″ 

-This regulation was changed to just a 12 month deferral which is still honestly bullshit (this includes long term relationships) Here is what the Current blood donor questionaire looks like

-What does this mean for blood donation? It means 360,000 otherwise eligible donors cannot donate. That is 615,000 pints of blood that could save the lives of 1 million people, unable to donate because of sexual orientation and/or sexual conduct (x)

-The real kicker in this ban is that the Red Cross (the leader in blood donation/blood drive) screens all blood that is donated for infectious diseases before it is admitted to blood banks (x)

-The FDA’s ban on MSM blood is doing off more harm than good. I have friends who have been put into uncomfortable and even dangerous situations because of Blood Drives, friends who have been outed because of people asking for blood donations, and even in it’s broadest sense, the Blood Ban promotes homophobia and serophobia and a deadly combination of the two. 

TL;DR: Before you talk about the blood ban (whether you support it, are against it, whatever) Know what you’re saying because it affects real people in very real ways. 

[sodomymcscurvylegs]

Imagine living in the year 2018 and thinking that blood donation restrictions on gay men are anything other than outright homophobia. The Straights are WILD!

“The officer who fired the fatal shots at the 16-year-old, however, was cleared of all charges by a grand jury.”

[futureblackwakandan-deactivated]

There is absolutely no justice in this. First of all why is he being tried as an adult?

[purplethedragon]

basically the reasoning behind this bs is that he was an accessory to murder because he was involved in the robbery, which “caused” the officer to have to fire his gun. laiketh was offered 25 years if he plead guilty, 65 if he took it to trial. (long sentences like this are basically used to scare people into pleading guilty.) he decided to fight (because, you know, he didn’t actually shoot anyone) but he lost. it’s so sad and stupid.

[tamagaytchi]

“I don’t think Mr. Smith will be smiling long when he gets to prison,” District Attorney C.J. Robinson said. “We are very pleased with this sentence. Because the sentences are consecutive, it will be a long time before he comes up for even the possibility for parole, at least 20 to 25 years.” This adult is speaking with joy about sentencing a 15-year old kid to prison for the rest of his life, knowing full well the kid isn’t guilty for the crime he’s being punished for, because it was proven to be the police who murdered his friend.

there is no grain in this that isn’t the most absolute form of evil , and C.J Robinson deserves to die

[drunkenhills]

This shit is infuriating. They’re out there celebrating because they ruined a black kid’s life. This is absolutely disgusting.

My girl spoke nothing but fucking TRUTH. Now that’s this kind of Women we need our girls to look up too.

[ladygreytea76]

Who is she?

[enigmazing-blog]

Sarah Kendzior.

She’s an expert in authoritarianism and has accurately predicted almost everything that is happening - her unflinching insight and analysis is terrifying but invaluable right now. Well worth following on twitter.

[anosci]

fucking

why did i never see this until now

[thessalian]

You know what saddens me?

How fast she has to talk.

If a man were saying that, he’d be going slowly to emphasise points. He’d be indulging in the occasional ‘you know’ or other filler words. He’d be able to stop for breath. Notice that she didn’t do that. She had the whole thing memorised and she got it out with barely a pause to breathe.

Why?

Because she expected to be interrupted.

What she said was awesome and is absolutely true, and is frankly underlined by the fact that she had to say the whole thing all at once for fear that she wouldn’t be able to say it at all if she so much as stopped to breathe because one of those older white men sitting around her would interrupt and roll right over her.

[adamthegirl]

what i notice is the guys in the audience sitting motionless, declining to applaud, though every word she spoke was truth and she spoke it with fire. it’s not the content, it’s a powerful, intelligent woman speaking truth with fire that they choose not to support.
