eventually, you’ll end up learning how to separate urself from ppl who aren’t on the same page as you. spiritually, mentally, emotionally

black communities have been witnessing executions like the one that happened to George Floyd throughout generations of oppression. this is terrorism, and it is not the burden of these communities to demand change. so, white people. how can we show up to support our black communities during this time?
1. call the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey: (612) 673-2100 and the DA: (612) 348-5550. demand the prosecution of all of the officers involved in the murder of George Floyd, including Derek Chauvin (badge 1087) and Tou Thao (badge 7162).
2. text “Floyd” to 55156 and demand that the officers in charge of George Floyd’s death be charged with murder.
3. black people are asking that we STOP sharing the video of George Floyd’s death. we do not need to witness a murder in order to care about it. cruelty like this exists and it is REAL. period.
George Floyd was face down on the ground with a grown man’s knee in the back of his neck, begging them to let him breathe. the officer’s knee remained there even after losing consciousness. the officer continued to kill him. no one deserves a death of that manner and we should all be outraged. to be black in the U.S. should not be a death sentence.
if you are sick of seeing blm posts, i hate to break it to you, but you need to ask yourself why. if you 'just want this to be over with', you need to ask yourself why. i'm not here to tell you what i think of you, i'm simply saying if you want this world to be a better place for everyone, you need to take part in the collapse and transformation, which always starts with you. this is never gonna be over. it never has been. it's been happening for hundreds of years. it's time we take our power back, it's time people of color can use their power freely. question your thoughts, change them, listen.

reminder that this blog, while not politically focused, supports BLM. bootlickers and racists aren’t welcome here, and never will be.

People need to stop beating around the bush and saying shit like "All cops are bad because they allow the bad cops" There are no good cops because it is in their job description to be evil. That's it. If Jesus Christ himself was a cop and just fulfilled his daily duties he too would be a bad cop by doing that. People need to stop acting like the job itself is somehow a neutral thing.
Abusing people in prison for doing or selling drugs, doing sex work, breaking meaningless laws or stealing objects is wrong. Dispersing homeless camps is wrong. Criminalizing poverty at every turn is wrong. How they're supposed to treat arrestees is wrong. Putting trans people in isolation "for their safety" is wrong. Packing people into jails where you have to lay down like sardines to sleep is wrong. Serving them spoiled food is wrong. Putting them into debt for being in prison and putting a mark on their record that prevents them from getting a job is wrong. There is nothing good about the police and no way to be a part of that and be a "good cop."
