JUSTICE FOR JULIUS “JULES” GRAVES

In 2019, Julius was suffering from mental health issues and reportedly acting irrationally at a bus stop. Police were called to the scene and were unable to get Julius to cooperate, so they tasered him twice, put him in handcuffs and leg restraints, and held him down with four officers. Julius was then injected with a sedative and anti-psychotic medications, and his pulse and breathing stopped. He went into cardiac arrest for 45-60 minutes, and was found braindead at the hospital. His family took him off of life support 4 days later. 

This incident wasn’t the first time Julius had been tasered by SLMPD officers for a mental health breakdown either; there were two other previous occasions. 

None of the officers saw jail time. 

Please join us in demanding justice for Julius and other victims of police violence!

Almost 700 workers (most with families) were just detained by ICE in MS. The raid was a direct result of their women speaking out against sexual abuse. Their children will be trafficked and traumatized. Their sick will go untreated in America’s brutal concentration camps.

Please please fight and pray for their safety. If you have nothing to give, at least reblog and spread this. 

don’t make my post BEGGING you to help go viral after El Paso’s massacre and then ignore this. do you only care when we’re  fucking dead? when we’re mourning?? do you only care when all you have to do to alleviate your guilt is give someone your condolences?? if the answer is no, do everything in your power to help the people who are suffering right nw in this moment

No drawings today or any other time soon.

TUMBLR WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM

THE BIGGEST FOREST RESOURCES OF THE PLANET ARE BURNING AND YOU BE LIKE

OH

IT’S RUSSIA, SO NO BIG DEAL :)))

You ask for reblogs every time some shit happens in America or Europe, hell, you even cared about Notre Dame and Greece forests burning. WHY THE FUCK DON’T YOU CARE ABOUT SIBERIA DYING IN FIRE

OH RIGHT, YOU CAN WATCH SHIT ABOUT ONE OF OUR TRAGEDIES IN TV SHOW, BUT WHEN ANOTHER TRAGEDY THIS BIG HAPPENS RIGHT FUCKING NOW - YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PRETEND IT ISN’T HERE

MOST OF OUR COUNTRY IS ALREADY COVERED IN SMOKE, IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHEN IT WILL REACH MOSCOW AND FURTHER CITIES, BIG PARTS OF OUR FORESTS ARE ALREADY GONE IN FIRE, ANIMALS ARE DYING HERE

AND YOU KNOW WHAT’S THE WORST? WE CAN’T EVEN FORCE OUR GOVERNMENT TO USE ANY. FUCKING. FORCES. AGAINST FIRE

MOST OF OUR PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT, BECAUSE OUR TV DOESN’T SPEAK ABOUT IT

AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS DO? RIGHT, YOU REMAIN SILENT. BECAUSE IT’S NOT CLOSE TO YOU. BUT LET ME TELL YOU THAT - IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHEN IT WILL AFFECT YOU, TRUST ME.

Look at this. If those photos don’t affect you, you can shove your pathetic posts about saving our eco system deep into your ass.

There is nothing can be done without help and talking about it. And yes, it’s this time when it’s really YOUR duty to share this information with everyone. You can hate us. Many of our problems got silenced just because world doesn’t care. But trust me, when all of our forests will die in a fire, you will be the next one to go.

Today I used this blog to speak, and if you don’t like it - fuck you. But the next time you will post shit about global warming, social/economic problems, etc. - remember the time you ignored a problem this big and go fuck yourself.

#TalkAboutSiberia

Guys, share it!! When fighting with fire every second matters. Spread the news and awareness, make the governments see that we watch and we know.

EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND READ THIS

I don’t know if you know this now, but right now, there are two sisters from Saudi Arabia that are FLEEING the country and seeking asylum to escape their abusive family. If they return to Saudi Arabia, there’s a very good chance they’ll end up in a forced marriage, raped or even KILLED.

They made a video explaining what happened here

Here are some news articles I found about this

They managed to get to Twitter and alert everyone about their situation, but Twitter took their accounts down

Twitter is actually trying to SILENCE them and make sure that no one knows about this. Don’t let them get away with it. Reblog this and use the hashtag #SaveDuaandDalal

Thanks to @daughter-of-iblis for letting me know about this

REBLOG AND SPREAD THE WORD

Just gonna put this out there for those of you who don’t think what’s happening in Sudan is seriously fucked up that a six year old girl, A. SIX. year. old. girl. was raped inside a place of worship on the night of eid. i don’t care if this is something you don’t want to hear, im going to make sure YOU hear it. The world is silent when it comes to issues happening in african countries. The U.S. has TOOLS that can aide what’s going on. But they are choosing not to because they don’t benefit from this country. Like if y’all can’t spread awareness to this the way you do for Europeans/Americans who face less if not similar to what is taking place in Sudan then you genuinely need to evaluate on whether you truly believe everyone deserves human rights. Don’t just look at this and say “I feel bad, that’s really sad” do wtf you’d want ppl to be doing for YOU if it was YOU in that situation!! Spread awareness! Donate to gofundme’s that provide medical assistance- even if it’s just a dollar, that goes a LONG fucking way. Especially if more people cared enough to donate. At the very least PRAY for these people who are just as human as you are. All I’m saying is there is a global massacre happening in Sudan that there is a huge LACK of global attention. The Sudan government is working hard to make sure nobody outside can know what’s going on. If you have even the smallest amount of empathy for the very least that a six year old girl is being stripped of her innocence then please share this and bring awareness to what’s happening.

I paint the sky blue…”

A tweet by Mohamed Mattar. He was shot dead by the RSF in Sudan, as he tried to shield several women in a protest. Blue, his favourite colour was initially spread on social media as a tribute to him, but soon became a symbol of solidarity with protests in Sudan, and is now a representation of Sudanese martyrs. RIP to them all. There is an internet blackout in Sudan preventing any media coverage of the crimes taking place. Please raise awareness.

I STAND WITH SUDAN 💙 يا رب اجعل هذا البلد آمناً

Ps. Be careful where you donate, most of the money reaches the wrong hands & please remember Yemen in your donations too.

“This is a MASSACRE. Surely there’s no revolution with out bloodshed but this can’t be normalized, the violence on Black bodies to add to the “hopeless African” image will not be tolerated. Sudanese people are not a hopeless people. We are a resilient people, a determined people, we persevere and we fight and we continue to show up no matter the conditions, but the support from the outside world right now is necessary.” Ladin Awad
