The Wall - Art between Israel and Palestine

“There’s a sniper observing the area” the Palestinian guide was pointing to the watchtower at the wall corner. From there, a huge wall expands on both directions. This wall, also known as West Bank Barrier , was build by Israel for security reasons, as they claim. For the Palestinians it’s rather an act of segregation and further restriction of their freedom. On the Palestinian side, it became…

Stephen Colbert: You landed haymakers against Joe Biden for what was for you bedrock principles. (Busing which Kamala Harris benefit from in her life and something Joe Biden in his career in the Senate voted against 19 times.) And I believe that you fully support Joe Biden now. How do you make that transaction? Kamala Harris: It was a Debate. *laughter* Stephen Colbert: Not everyone landed punches though. Kamala Harris: IT WAS A DEBATE. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Stephen Colbert: So you don't mean it. Kamala Harris: It was a Debate. Literally, the whole reason was it was a debate. It was called a "debate."

So, my take away is Kamala Harris just admitted that those debates were political theatre. It is just for show. And kind of just shows how disingenuous she is. Or how much of a politician she is. Kamala has flip flop so much on the campaign trail, I don't know what she actually believes. More and more, it is just clear that she will say what will get her points and elected.

You ever just read through Tumblr, and suddenly see people advocating child abuse to forward whatever movement they support? I’ve seen 

-Overfeeding your child to “make her 300 lbs by the time she’s fifteen” for fat acceptance 

-Adopting a daughter and raising her away from men while teaching her that men are basically wild animals for radical feminism 

-Fucking segregation of kids and not letting kids have white friends for I don’t fucking know, who the fuck thought this up? 

-Raising kids “genderless” or forcing your child to be transgender despite no signs of dysphoria 

-Raising children to think that heterosexuality is disgusting as revenge for what LGBT kids in homophobic households go through 

in just the past month. This shit makes me so much more angry than anything else. What the actual fuck is wrong with some of these people? Yes, there are things that should be fought for, and yes, as a trans man, I support trans rights, I’m against racism, and I hate homophobia (y’all know my opinions on the other stuff) but no matter what the cause is, children who rely entirely on you should never be pawns in your fight. Stop this.

Linda Brown, who as a little girl was at the center of the Brown v. Board of Education US Supreme Court case that ended segregation in schools, has died at the age of 76 (Feb. 20, 1942- March 26, 2018).

Brown was 9 years old when her father, Oliver Brown, tried to enroll her at Sumner Elementary School, then an all-white school in Topeka, Kansas. When the school blocked her enrollment her father sued the Topeka Board of Education.

The court's landmark ruling in May 1954 -- that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal" -- led to the desegregation of the US education system. Thurgood Marshall, the NAACP's special counsel and lead counsel for the plaintiffs, argued the case before the Supreme Court. [x]
