But I stay

i think for me, um

thank you for saying that

 @taylorswift Thank you SO MUCH for taking a stand against the racist monuments we have here in Nashville. A few days ago, I started the petition to get the disgusting statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest taken down. Since then, we have gotten 5,000+ signatures each day!

I wanted to let you know that I reached out to district Rep Jason Powell and he has seen the petition and asked that we have a meeting next week in Nashville to discuss moving forward with concealing and or removing the statue. @taylorswift I want to invite you to this meeting. You are my role model, inspiration, and I would love to have the opportunity to meet you for the first time and make a plan with our local government to make Nashville a better, safer place to live.

Swifties, here is my petition. I am begging you to please share this petition and also to tag Taylor. With her influence, I know we can get this hateful and racist statue removed. 

Love,

Tailah

Gonna leave this here.

Please think of this before you go on Tumblr to spread all the hate towards her. She is human like all of us. She can't do everything you want.

it wasn’t george floyd’s protesters who started reacting violently; it was the cops.

the protest was peaceful until the cops showed up in riot gear, and started using water cannons, followed up by tear gas and rubber bullets. i got videos from friends who were there, of people screaming and running away from the cops shooting the water cannons, rubber bullets and throwing tear gas at them. they were even shooting at the protesters dragging people away to get medical attention.

speaking of medical attention, dispatch refused to provide any medical attention to the protesters. people literally had to drive their bleeding friends to the hospital because they refused to send ambulances.

cops are using non-lethal weapons in a lethal way. they shot rubber bullets into people’s heads and injured them. there’s dozens of photos of protesters with bleeding head wounds from the rubber bullets.

multiple people used police scanners and heard that there were undercover cops pretending to be violent protesters who were throwing rocks and whatnot at the police, with dozens of eyewitness accounts confirming that information.

the person who instigated all the chaos last night (it was a fire at an autozone) with the looting and burning buildings is highly suspected to be an undercover cop pretending to be a protester, because the video of him keeps getting taken down. protesters tried to stop him but couldn’t because he had a hammer and they were scared for their safety.

the cops jammed cell phone towers and cut live streams to interrupt broadcasts and to prevent people from seeing what was really going on and who actually started the violence.

the cops lied about protesters being armed and about throwing rocks and are literally trying to continue the violence happening and yet no one is holding them accountable for that.

and during all this, the cop that murdered george floyd still hasn’t been arrested. he has had more than ten complaints filed against him and was involved in three other civilian shootings in the past. and yet he’s still out free along with his three other buddies involved, probably sitting on his couch while all this chaos is happening.
