Monuments to oppressors have no place in our cities. If we’re measuring sins, defacing statues is so low on the list it doesn’t even register. Comments like this will get you blocked. Fuck off with your bullshit. I do not have the patience to explain to you why lives are more important than things.

they also vandalized Churchill and Gandhi but I guess it’s ok,isn’t it?

churchill starved millions of indians to death and ghandi was a racist that slept naked with teenagers so yes it very much is

Everyone talks about the school to prison pipeline but no one talks about the school to military pipeline and how it’s explicitly built into the school system, particularly the No Child Left Behind Act which requires that federally funded schools give the military the same access to students and student information as colleges and potential employers have.

If your school has ever had military presentations or tables or booths, or you’ve been outright stalked by military recruiters who got your information from your school, then you have NCLB to thank for that.

We’re two trans women who can’t pay rent and bills without help. I’m physically disabled but we haven’t been able to get the benefits we’re entitled to. We’re currently sheltering from the pandemic as my girlfriend is definitely at risk and I might be.

In order to cover food, electric, hot water and rent (which was recently raised, and which our landlord is refusing to let anyone defer until the UK government forces them to, which has yet to actually happen) we need £1500 for the month.

Even small amounts can make a huge difference!

If you are able to help, this is my PayPal and my Cashapp is £everylimb

Reblogs are really appreciated.

Shortening the post because it was really long.

£270 to go!

£245 to go!
