charging one of Breonna Taylor's killers with, essentially, damaging property while ignoring the fact that they killed her is the "property over people" system going full mask off
So the skunk spray used by IDF Columbia students against pro-Palestine protestors is not commercially available, meaning they either brought it from Israel or American law enforcement provided it to them, right?

my brain has a hard time accepting that a nation as rich as the US is the same one where 53% of adults can only read at a 6th grade level. BUT, lmao, they have teachers playing real life squid games soooooo
@blkchimera
I imagined it was likelier to be given to them by US law enforcement too cuz getting chemical weapons through customs is a bit much even for the IDF (though I wouldn't be too surprised tbh)
Police in Georgia have killed a Gambian national. His name was Momodou Lamin Sisay. A protest against police violence is planned at the US embassy for the 8th
I have a Masters degree in Middle Eastern politics and conflict studies, and I can't tell you what tf is going on in Israel/Palestine rn, so just be sure to take "experts" with strong opinions with a big ol' pinch of salt
I am legitimately shocked that Israel's propaganda is not as effective as it was just a few years ago. What changed? Is it really just footage and pics of their atrocities?
writing is 100% the least sexy art. someone tells me they're a painter? a sculptor? that's hot. a writer? fucking disgusting weirdo ghouling away at a keyboard

can they buy her back to life? I want abolition. Justice, to many, was to see the system they support just acknowledge that the police were wrong in their actions. I beg, focus on that aspect

I have three testicles (polyorchidism). Found out in 9th grade. Asked all my friends if they did too. They did not. Apparently less than 100 recorded cases
THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!
no joke, i don't think anything else has better educated Americans I know on how their countries have devastated Iraq and Cuba than the first two seasons. very hype for the next one
