daddy issues = not funny

being traumatized by a father figure to the point where you can’t trust any man = not funny

getting scared of men raising their voices = not funny

living your whole life wondering why your dad abused you/left with no explanation = not funny

literally stop using the phrase daddy issues

If you were watching the #noindictment verdict being delivered, #ferguson protestors SILENTLY AND PEACEFULLY walked away. Thus, respecting The Family of Mike Brown’s wishes of having a peaceful protest. In contrast, building up to the verdict, police all over the country have armored trucks, extra paddy wagons, etc. waiting “just in case.” 😒😒😒 Now, who and what will YOU believe? Mass media that was anxiously chomping at the bit for “good tv” or #peacefulprotestors who are providing LIVE accounts of #ferguson? #justiceforMikeBrown #arrestDarrenWilson

moreover, there’s every reason to believe that some of the fires were initiated by the tear gas canisters (I saw at least one small fire start up after one was shot and just started spewing flames in a parking lot).
There was also minimal agitation in the crowd until the police started trying to corral people and box them in. at which point the police THEN issued dispersal orders (where you gonna disperse to when you’re boxed in by lines of police in riot gear). and THEN the police started firing rubber bullets and tear gas.

So let’s get this right:
Protestors stood and made their hurt known; they even tried to stop vandalism by agitators/anarchists/plants.
When they tried to march police BOXED. THEM. IN. and THEN delivered orders to disperse.
the police THEN started firing rubber bullets at close range, tear gas at head height hitting at least a few people and starting at least one fire
they fired tear gas into residential areas and at parked cars in strip mall lots
they didn’t show up when protestors were trying to report looting and vandalism because they were….?

Because I was listening to the scanner while watching two live streams and the news (yeah I know, sounds wild but hey gotta cover as much territory as possible) and the cops didn’t respond to any actual trouble. They only instigated violence between them and people who were protesting.

OMG CAN YALL PLEASE BOOST THIS! THIS IS IMPORTANT!

Although walking the news and live feeds on my dash I knew something wasn’t right and the police commissioner was lying! Everything this person is saying is how I felt!

Be alert they are trying to trick us to be even more segregated within our community! Don’t be fooled!

a psa for people attending rallies and demonstrations in Canada tonight, since all links I’ve seen so far deal with American law (understandably), just take note of the fact that if anyone tries to stop you from assembling or if a cop tries to take you aside, quote that your right to peaceful assembly is protected under section 2 b,c,and d of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. These three sections guarantee you the right to peaceful assembly, free speech, opinion, and expression, as well as the freedom of association. you are under no obligation to go anywhere with, or be interviewed by a cop – ask if you are being arrested. if they say no or don’t answer, you have the right to walk away. if you are being arrested, ask why and also you can refuse to say or do anything until you have a lawyer.

stay safe!

Right now, Mexico City’s central plaza is packed full of people protesting the government-sponsored massacre of 43 students. Protesters are burning President Enrique Peña Nieto in effigy and demanding his resignation, alleging his involvement with drug cartels in the kidnapping and killing of the students. [ x ]

meanwhile, in mexico.

a couple of people have reblogged this without reading it thinking it’s a picture of ferguson/DC

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE CAPITAL OF MEXICO, D.F. (DISTRITO FEDERAL) 

PLEASE READ WHAT YOU REBLOG, YOU MIGHT BE SPREADING SOMETHING HARMFUL OTHERWISE

also to the people not knowing why theyre “burning someone” and really immaturely comparing this to a witch at the stake, an effigy is a dummy and when someone is “burned in effigy” it means youre burning a dummy of that person as an angry protest. nobodys actually getting burned alive here theyre all just pissed and want the president of mexico to resign

they’re hoping you forget. they hope everyone will go back to their normal routine and enjoy the holidays like nothing happened. michael brown’s parents lost their son. this isn’t something that will pass with time. never forget mike brown, don’t let this decision give every other police officer out there an excuse.

African-American Girls & Women Killed By Police: Speak Their Names. See Their Faces. Know Their Stories.

There is this false myth going around that Black women are not victims of police violence. I believe the myth exists because quite frankly the media, social justice organizations and we the public tend not to focus on it. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I hope this post will make all of us change our minds. Here are the stories of some of the Black women and girls killed by law enforcement:

To everyone that follows me that has anxiety (like me) or can’t handle news about Ferguson
If tumblr is where you go to calm down, I’m really sorry, but I’d just stay away from tumblr for a bit if it’s causing you anxiety. However, you have to remember that not everyone has the privilege of being able to take a break from all of this.
Your mental health is important, but never forget the opportunity you have that countless others don’t.
