In light of (the response to) George Floyd's murder, we have decided to cancel all activities for today. Putting officers on administrative leave, ie paid leave, and endangering peaceful protesters by throwing tear gas at them and shooting rubber bullets is a slap in the face following an incredibly troubling display of institutionalised racism and the systemic injustice inflicted upon the black community in the US. Black Lives Matter.
So instead, we'd like to ask our followers to educate themselves, to stand up to (institutionalised) racism - be it covert or not - and to support George Floyd's loved ones through this incredibly difficult and traumatizing time.
A GoFundMe campaign was set up by George Floyd's sister to cover all costs related to his death such as the funeral service, and any other costs that may arise as they seek justice for him.
There is also a petition to the mayor of Minneapolis, asking for the officers involved to be charged.
Additionally, we'd like to urge Americans to call 612-348-5550 and demand for the officers to be charged with first degree murder.
You can also call the police department of Minneapolis directly at 612-673-3000 and call for Derek Chauvin (badge number #1087) and Tou Thao (badge number #7162) + two of their colleagues to be fired, rather than put on paid leave.
This video is dedicated to touching.
I’m sick of seeing posts about Yemen that don’t mention the source of the crisis. There is a REASON why there is a famine going on and most of the infrastructure for clean water, housing, medical care, etc has been destroyed. The reason being that Saudi Arabia, with United States support, “intervened” in the Yemeni civil war after the Houthi movement ousted the former president following the Arab Spring. The famine didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s the result of a naval blockade. The lack of clean water, healthcare, and housing didn’t come out of nowhere either. The country’s infrastructure was bombed to bits because Saudi Arabia and a coalition of eight other Sunni-majority states, with logistical support from the US, UK and France, are treating this as a proxy war with Iran which, like the Houthis, is Shia. This is genocide. It is intentional. They are TRYING to kill the Yemenis.
Me realizing that Steve Rogers probably knew since Age of Ultron that he was worthy enough to wield Mjölnir and be king of Asgard but out of the kindness of his heart, he saved Thor the humiliation. Gotta love that boy.
Let's go 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I just assumed they were hiding 🤷🏾♀️ trying not to expose themselves
u know what never fails to make me laugh?
why are the fuck they inside a car? why is tony in the front seat and scott in the back seat? did they actually steal this car? where did it even come from? was the weight of their monumental fuck up too much for them to bear while standing so they had to sit down and rethink all their life choices?

What just happened on CNN? Im at work and so wasn’t somewhere I could watch
Sure I’ll sum up.
So there was a very good peaceful protest by…. Lafayette Park? Right outside the White House. They were chanting, they had multiple reporters in the crowd, it was fucking CHILL, people were waiting for Trump to do a speech in the Rose Garden.
Then, out of nowhere, truly NOWHERE, the cops closed in from three directions and threw gas into the crowd. They used rubber bullets on the crowd IMMEDIATELY. One dude told the reporter “They don’t care about news, move.” They drove out the totally fucking peaceful, pre-curfew protestors.
They moved them all out, and Trump started speaking, and you could hear the fucking gas going off over his speech. CNN fucking did a splitscreen to show the peopple being shoved back as the motherfucker stood up there and said he would protect our rights and would mobilize the military against people.
Then back to the reporters, and everyone was forced further and further away. One woman on a bike told the reporter “They are getting the water cannons ready, you wanna move.”
TURNS OUT.
ALL OF THIS.
WAS BECAUSE TRUMP WANTED A PHOTO OP AT THE CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET. HE WANTED THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO HE COULD STAND WITH A BIBLE IN FRONT OF A CHURCH.
Even CNN is calling him a dictator, at 7PM.
Then the Illinois governor came out and called him a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic failure.
ETA: OH AND AFTER THE FACT one of the CNN ppl said that the cops claimed they gave three warnings to the crowd to disperse. There were reporters literally in the crowd, and didn’t mention hearing anything along those lines and where as shocked as anyone when the crowd was forced to move. So they’re fucking lying.
phase 4 of the mcu really being led by a lgbt icon, poc and women
Okay but if we can storm Area 51 to free the aliens, why not storm the concentration camps to free the immegrant children that were taken from their parents? They can‘t stop us all.
