Let’s not forget that there are government officials saying that black and brown kids should go back to school first in all this

TRANSCRIPT:

If you actually have a heart and a soul, you won’t scroll past this video.

*sigh*

Betsy DeVos, someone that our Cheeto in chief just elected as the head of education basically, pretty much just stated that when schools open this fall, that an estimated 0.02% of children will die from COVID 19. I’m not sure if that’s just children or just people total in the school system, but bear with me.

That is 14,000 kids that could die from COVID 19. Even just one child is too many. Trump has also threatened that if schools are not opened by November all their funding will be cut. Teachers also have to write death letters to send to parents for when a child has died due to COVID 19.

Please, I beg of you, boost the hell out of this video. This is ridiculous

I was at a Black Lives Matter protest when this woman ran her car through the group of protesters. A 71-year-old man was hit on his bike, which was destroyed under this woman’s car. We have her face and a picture of her plate number.

When the police were called they said “We thought you didn’t want us here” and never showed up. The Taylor police department was literally right down the street where the protest was. They did nothing. And according to the Twitter of Trilogybeats, when the did show up, they started harassing the protesters: https://twitter.com/trilogybeats/status/1273034091533918210

Angela Davis told a group of students to not assume she means them when she talks about leaders of the future & that university students have a tendency to discount the experience & wisdom of people who learned on the street. Yall do that everyday on here.

[Multiple people have pointed out that the Sojourner Truth speech isn’t accurate. Interesting none of you bother recommending other resources to spread awareness of what it’s like to be a Black Woman while you are pulling attention away from the main point–Black Women need to be recognized. If you have such a problem with how accurate the speech is, just know I looked into it and apparently she approved the second version which also expresses how she’s feeling. Let’s move on or pm me and I can list some alternatives if it’s weighing on your mind.]

hey, brazilian person here. it may all sound funny and shit (and damn, he even got affiliated to many left wing parties) but… he’s been trying to insure a dictatorship even since he got elected. there’s been protests against democracy and he’s been attending them all (without a mask, btw. meanwhile, almost 30k have died of coronavirus, we still got no health minister, even if i called it anarchy we still would prefer anarchy cause this is a whole new level). we are now standing in solidarity with USA! our police system is the most deadly in the world, killing 2x more than the american, specially young black kids. if you can, please keep an eye out for us and sign the petition justice for João Pedro

PAY ATTENTION TO BRAZIL. BLACK PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. AND SEVERAL OF THEM ARE FUCKING KIDS.

the one petition everyone is sharing is for João Pedro, was was killed inside his home, he was shot on his back. 70, and i repeat, 70 shots were fired against the house he was in, and the police claimed it was because they were in a confront. everyone near his house confirmed there wasn’t anything going around.

but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

“I’m speaking to you from my heart. Look, I don’t know if I’m going to have a career after this, but fuck that. Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process, we don’t know what George Floyd could have achieved, we don’t know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we’re going to make sure that won’t be an alien thought to our young ones. Every black person in here remembered when another person reminded you that you were black. So none of you out there, all those protesters on the other side, protesting against what we want to do, protesting against what we want to try and achieve, burn you, this is so vital. I need you to understand how painful this shit is. I need you to understand how painful it is to be reminded every day that your race means nothing and that isn’t the case anymore, that was never the case anymore.” John Boyega at The Black Lives Matter protest in Hyde Park June 3rd 2020
