I blinked one day and when I opened my eyes, it was normal to have an American army battling Americans on American streets. No one even calls it a war. But it is.

Intense photos put Mexico’s growing crisis into vivid perspective
Tens of thousands of demonstrators flooded the streets of Mexico City on Thursday in one of the largest shows to date of public indignation over government corruption and the disappearance of 43 college students from the southern city of Iguala.
Demonstrators marched towards President Enrique Peña Nieto’s National Palace to protest his handling of the probable massacre. Hundreds of police in riot gear blocked access to the palace, where thousands of protesters gathered to demand justice for the students who disappeared on Sept. 26.
“I am here because I have children who are students and one day they could be No. 44”

it sickens me how the media is tyring to make us feel symphaty for darren wilson “his life is practically over as he won’t be able to be a cop anymore” as if i fucking care about what happens to that disgusting murderer
for those of you participating in #stoptheparade tomorrow
- bundle up, hardcore – it’s gonna be cold as fuck and it’s a LONG walk. lots of layers.
- white ppl + nonblack poc – please do not overpower the black voices! you are there to support, NOT to make it about yourselves. remember, this is about black voices being heard. yelling shit like “ALL LIVES MATTER” detracts from the point and ruins the entire point of the protest in the first place. do not do anything violent to provoke the police because you will not be the ones getting hurt/killed for it.
- keep a spray bottle of milk in your bags in case you are maced, which is not unlikely! DO NOT USE WATER OR RUB AT YOUR EYES.
- be peaceful – the point is to make a statement, not get anybody else hurt
- BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THE NYPD IS FUCKING BRUTAL and i dont want any of yall getting hurt
- be aware of your rights if you get detained
- FUCK. IT. UP.
who gives a fuck about the thanksgiving parade
i hope protesters flood the streets so that every american who turns their tv on tomorrow morning has to see a revolution and not a goddamn inflatable turkey
We should respect African-American Vernacular English as an important part of Black American culture.
“I don’t like the fact he learned how to hide from the cops well before he learned how to read. Black boys in this country cannot afford to play cops and robbers if we’re always considered the latter.”
