They killed him. His name was Muhiyidin Moye.

[shaekingshitup]

He was killed 1 year after this video, according to what I’ve gathered online. Someone tried to knock him off his bike and shot him even as he rode away. He made it to a hospital, but, he still died due to blood loss as he’d left a trail of blood in his path.

All activists who you can name/you see make an impact are viewed as a threat to those in power or those who regard themselves as having power over minority groups. The more of these names I learn, the more I wait in anticipation to hear if they are still here or if their lives have been taken too soon yet.

Here’s a PBS article because I like to believe they’re less biased than most.

Manslaughter plea in Black Lives Matter activist's death

Roosevelt Iglus had been charged with second-degree murder in the death of 32-year-old Muhiyidin Moye, better known as Muhiyidin d'Baha, of

I’m reblogging again cause this is crazy, please block out the faces & your face of you at a protest. Protect yourselves and each other. 😨

[kitesatforestp]

This is exactly why we tell y’all stop posting protesters faces and clothes without black squares over them, not no pixelated or blurred stuff. STAY SAFE!!!

[this-tragic-affair]

Charities/organisations to avoid:

PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)

FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)

Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)

Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.

[tequila-tekaylah]

Susan G. Komen for the Cure: CEO makes insane amounts of money, they deny a lot of requests for wigs/help with treatment/etc., and have attempted to sue other charities that use the color pink as part of their anti-breast cancer campaign. ( x x x )

[reproductivejusticeandliberty]

The Salvation Army: They promote the hatred of LGBT+ people, work with fundamentalist Christian groups to support conservative politics and rip off and exploit workers. ( x x x )

[shitpost-senpai]

Wounded Warrior: They take money that should be spent on veterans and blow it on huge opulent parties for the company bigwigs. 26 million in 2014 alone wasted! ( x x x )

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

^ Important reminder to NOT waste any money donating to these groups

[ayellowbirds]

Reblogging because of the added info about Wounded Warrior.

[arch4ngel]

A good way to know if a nonprofit you’re donating to is allocating their money in the right way is to check out their Charity Navigator rating: http://www.charitynavigator.org

[darkbookworm13-deactivated20240]

Signal boosting, the bell ringers are out in force, and this info is too important.

[yogfan14]

Charity season is coming up in not even two months, so I feel like this is important to share now before it’s too late.

I hate that I fully understand this

[buckingfaseball]

philly turned out to evict trump, so if you want to say thank you for getting it done please donate to the philly bail fund.

philly has the worst cops in america, just two weeks ago they pulled a Black mother out of her car, beat her and arrested her in front of her 2-year-old son, who they then kidnapped and used for copaganda. she had committed the crime of getting stuck on a one-way street at the edge of a protest against the murder by cops of Walter Wallace, a Black man suffering from mental illness, who was shot in front of his mother.

there's no reason to expect cop behavior to improve now that trump's lost and they're angry. please support the people of philadelphia, who showed up.

for more on police violence, antiracism and radically transformative politics in philly and what you can do to help, see @phillybailfund, @phillybailout, @blmphilly, @phillywerise, @vietlead, and twitter hashtags #FreeAnt #WalterWallaceJr

philly/pa folks add more orgs & links if you have them!

[notmewtwo]

Pittsburgh (aka PGH) ALSO showed up to evict Trump, and is one of the most racist and segregated cities in the country. It is particularly difficult for black women to prosper in Pittsburgh, and yet they still organized and registered thousands of people to vote.

I may not live there anymore, but this city means a lot to me. You can support by donating to these places:

Bukit Bail Fund of PGH, Pittsburgh’s Black Business Relief Fund, Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh <--(ULPGH also has a good amount of information available)

Info for PA/PGH residents:

Directory of black owned businesses, information on the PGH police abolition/defund movement, BLM Pittsburgh’s twitter

I know Philly is more populous and better known than Pittsburgh, but please don’t forget that they showed up for us too.

what a week huh?

joe biden’s resumé, in order of importance:

caused fall out boy

46th president of the united states of america

[softyreid]

the first time i ever heard about biden “causing” fob was in a tik tok and for some reason my immediate thought was that mr joseph biden himself told these motherfuckers to start a band, pep talk and everything. and then my second thought was maybe he had some connection with a record label, and called them up like “yeah, man, got this great band, great group of kids”

it never crossed my mind that pete wentz’s parents met at a fucking biden campaign

[tigerteeff]

and it continues btw

IT WORKED!!! LADIES, THEYDIES, AND GAYDIES, JOE BIDEN IS THE PRESIDENT ELECT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

[staplerrrr]

y'all: I'm watching blood of zeus for the plot

the plot:

[cheryls-blossomed]

With Biden taking the lead in Georgia, I want to reiterate again how absolutely incredible Stacey Abrams is. After having her election stolen from her in 2018 by the Republicans in power, she registered and mobilized record numbers of new voters. She champions grassroots campaigning for voters. And she turned her state, a state with a horrific history of voter suppression, blue. I know votes are still being counted, but this phenomenal shift is because of the monumental efforts of Stacey Abrams. 

And make no mistake, Biden taking the lead in Georgia and both Senate races going to the runoffs are because of the incredible voting efforts of Black people, especially Black women.

THIS RIGHT HERE

[afronerdism]

You guys are dangerously close to realizing specifically what kinds of people they keep from voting and why.

[molothoo]

I want to drill this into everybody’s head:

The United States of America has the highest prison population in the world

Black Americans and Latin people make up the majority of this population (many of whom are non-violent offenders)

Federal Prisons in America require that their state keeps their prisons at a maximum occupancy at all times.

The 13th amendment did not entirely abolish slavery…just one form of it. It remains legal through industrial prison system

[scretladyspider]

Oh and we have privatized prisons which allow companies to actually make money off of keeping people incarcerated 

[dantalaois]

[odinsblog]

Here’s what’s really perverse: prisoners, who cannot vote, still get counted in the U.S. Census. The more prisoners a county has, the more representation it gets, even though the prisoners cannot vote. See how that works? The more black and brown people they lock up, the more government resources and political representation they get. Even though those prisoners have no say and cannot vote.

If county-A has a population of 50 voters but no prisons, and county-B has a population of 50 voters and 50 prisoners, the county with the prisoners gets more government funding and more political represention. This is sometimes called “prison gerrymandering” and it is used in redistrictring.

Not so fun Fact: Southern states that reliably vote for Republicans also have the highest prison population in the United States. (source). So mass incarceration is a double whammy. It’s both a form of voter suppression and a tool to strengthen white people’s political power.

[snappydoodle-deactivated2022051]

System of a Down made a song about the prison industrial complex in 2001

Tying minor offenses to POC sure is a handy way to justify keeping them locked up…

[prismatic-bell]

Don’t forget that if you’re a felon, you can’t vote even after your release.
