feeling wormlike once more

you think there was ever a point in history where a king or someone royal died from eating something and everyone was like "they must have been POISONED" but really they just had peanuts for the first time

it’s kind of established that there is no “get out of a beatdown” role you can take other than being a cop yourself, right? media, medics, lawyers, all fair game.

Turns out that cops are just dudes who really like beating the shit out of defenceless people. There’s really no other qualification.

For those who hate lawyers I do want to point out that legal observers are sent by the National Lawyer’s Guild, which is the primary organization providing pro-bono legal defense to protesters and black community leaders who have been jailed to try to derail the movement.  So, these are not the lawyers you hate.

Just to reiterate: the entire point of NLG legal observers is to deter unlawful or improper behavior on the part of the police / law enforcement personnel–and to document such behavior, if they aren’t successful in deterring it. In the U.S., they have to be trained and certified. Their job is to help you protest to the full extent of your constitutional rights and with minimal interaction with the criminal justice system. I cannot stress the extent to which they are on your side.

I shit you not, UK right wing grifters blamed the “radical left” for the cop riding into a traffic light

The traffic light is a communist you see

Yet another reason why horses should not be brought into the protests by either side. You now have a scared horse running around that could hurt protestors.

in the wake of all this JK Rowling terf shit, I'm just gonna say cis LGB people have a responsibility to confront people using gay relationships as a reason for why trans people can't exist. if somebody says "sex has to exist for same-sex relationships exist" you come in and say "I'm a gay person and don't use me for your transphobic argument". you owe it to your community members to step in.

literally any true crime doc will just straight up tell you that almost every unsolved case in history is due to police incompetence or outright intentional negligence 

YEP

Say it louder for the people in the back

Wanting to get fucked and used like a toy is gender-neutral, fuck cisheteronormativity

as the dash moves back to normal, please don’t let this be the end of your activism. this wasn’t just a trend, these are real lives. continue to further your understanding, get educated, listen to black people, and be an active ally.

i understand why old people sit outside just to sit outside
