NEVER TALK TO COPS.
Even if you did nothing wrong, never ever, ever, ever volunteer any information to police
Cops are legally allowed to lie to you. Cops can use any information, no matter how innocuous it is.
Never speak to cops.
When I saw my adoption file said I had both Black & indigenous family who wanted to take me in, and a handwritten note from the caseworker said I needed more stability and Jesus and that's the white people they left me with was my best option.
So she has 5 lice riddenkids, and called 911 at 2 am so they could bring her baby formula Bc she ran out? And the cops brought the formula and delivered without incident? AND child services didn’t get involved? Huh. Sounds about [redacted]
Stop it.
These people had thousands of dollars For night vision goggles, 800,000 volt stunguns and bomb materials.
One of their “beefs” with the Governor was her refusal to open gyms.
There’s a confederate flag in the yard
Their economic status is NOT what radicalized them
This is the home of Joseph Morrison, one of the Michigan men recently arrested for his plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Can we acknowledge that maybe economic circumstances play a role in radicalizing people?
Yo. Sex work is empowering- for some people.
Sex work is not empowering for others.
Neither of those situations negate the need for sex worker rights to be seen as legit labor rights. You deserve to work safely regardless of how much you love your job.
I believe it’s possible to live your life in such a way that the police are not a threat to you.
It’s called having agency and making reasonable life choices.
She looks fine, dress is cute
But scroll the comments. So many men are mad at her. They're actually claiming this is a thirst trap.
Let this be a lesson: clothing or modesty will never save you from the wrath of a misogynist. You can't behave your way into their good graces
Y’all. It’s 2018. We need nuance around concepts like “problematic”
Everyone is problematic because nobody perfect. Get over it.
If you think “problematic” means an eternal dragging party, how exactly are you different than the punishment based oppressive society we have now?
Stop saying pro life, start saying forced birth.
Call them what they are. We already know they would rather let a woman die than abort. They overwhelmingly don’t support social services for poor kids.
Yet we play along and call them pro life. Stop feeding that lie.
Yall will never take Christofascism seriously until it's too late.
The same people who are rejoicing when Palestinian children are murdered are the same people who laugh when Black children are murdered by cops are the same people who went to border to hunt "illegals"
It's not enough heat for Ashton Kutcher on the TL for me
How do you make your entire activist persona about saving women from sex trafficking when you can't even spot the rapist among your own crew?
Folks really haven’t realized that the anti porn movement isn’t just anti porn. It’s a conservative Christian movement that’s also anti lgtbq. Anti sex outside of marriage. Pro modesty.
This isn’t stopping with OF. Even if they ban all porn, they won’t be done.
It’s a lot of podcasters and streamers talking about the OF girls needing to get real jobs and it’s like…? Internet censorship is coming for you too lol
I want to point out, the person who got murdered didn't do anything. He was yelling. He didn't assault someone, pull out a weapon.
He yelled and threw his coat on the floor.
He was murdered for that.
Your husband murdered a black teen in cold blood and tried to cover it up. Fuck him, fuck You, and fuck the News media for caring more about your tears than the tears of the family of the boy your husband murdered.
I hope he gets his face cracked open again.
Wife of ex-Chicago officer Jason Van Dyke breaks down in tears over report he was beaten by inmates in prison.
"I cannot and will not stand by somebody hurting my husband, hurting my family more than we've already been hurt. We are done being hurt."
I am proud to call Joe Biden a friend. He has been a leader and a champion on fighting violence against women for many years, and I have been fortunate to accompany him to events with survivors where he has listened to their stories, empathized with them, and comforted them.
In 2020, remember this:
Republicans are the party of Uber.
Democrats are the party of taxi cab unions.
Own your own labor, work where you want and how you want, and embrace innovation. That’s conservatism.
Idk I just find it *odd* that despite all of the sudden concern for Israeli lives, nobody is really talking about the Israeli ppl who are getting absolutely fucked up by their own police for protesting how the government is treating Palestinians.
Yes, but no.
I’m so bothered by the obsession with $15/hour.
It’s an arbitrary number. We need numbers to be based on local economies. $15 in rural Georgia =\= $15 in San Francisco.
We also need rent caps, cost of living caps, otherwise pay increases are useless
No one can deny that today’s minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is nothing more than a starvation wage. After 10 years of inaction, it’s time to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Doing so would directly benefit over 41 million workers across the nation.
Wait. IBM got a $342 million dollar tax REFUND?
Amazon got $129 million?
All Bc of this new tax plan that lowered corporate tax rates?
But we need to cut social security and not raise minimum wages?
4.3 BILLION went to corporate tax refunds.
Hmm so teens can't gather in public, can't use social media. Libraries are being defunded.
But they can get married and have jobs.
And people still don't see how these things are related.
Work (or jail) is the only place they'll have to socialize soon.
Oh lol remember when Boots Riley made that whole ass “satire” movie about the government making slavery legal and turning workers into literal work horses.
I do, too. Good times. All jokes. He didn’t have broader message AT ALL
People are using AI to turn normal pics of women into fully naked pics of them and y’all want us to believe there’s a way to ethically introduce AI into society yeah ok.
People have correctly pointed out that
1. A bunch of people who used to volunteer are dead from covid
2 people can't afford (financially or time wise) to volunteer
But I would also add
3 places/events people volunteered at are becoming defunded/illegal
For decades, volunteerism in America has been declining. According to a recent survey, it dropped another 7 percentage points between 2019 and 2021. There is a disconnect between organizations and their volunteer pools, and it's becoming systemic.
I mean.
I *knew* that non white kids are routinely taken from their families and given to white people and denied theirb cultural legacies, but seeing that shit in writing was something else entirely
Just heard a commercial that said
"The pandemic is over, but covid is here to stay, it's one of the top 5 leading causes of death after heart disease and cancer"
I am losing my goddamn mind. How the pandemic over if covid is a leasing cause of death?
Make it make sense
Where Presidential Candidate Joe Biden Stands On Marijuana: "I still believe it's a gateway drug. I've spent a lot of my life as chairman of the Judiciary Committee dealing with this. I think it would be a mistake to legalize."
Tbh this is why black leftists don’t trust white liberals.
We only matter when there’s a political point to be made, but never when there’s an equitable policy that’s needed
Climate change is absolutely about race and environmental racism is absolutely a thing.
Sen. Sanders: "First, I want to go back to climate change..."
"Senator, with all due respect, this question is about race. Can you get back to the question at hand?"
HOLY SHIT.
#DemDebate
I’d just like to point out that people who do legal sex work get fired from their jobs, but cops are legally allowed to be in the kkk Bc it’s freedom of speech.
Dear leftists,
A lot of you have sincerely shitty politics around sex work. You need to respect, accept, and listen to sex workers the same way you listen to other workers. SWs need to be accepted in leftist circles, without stigma. Do better.
Sincerely,
Me.
By age 35, you should be getting regular std tests, not being homophobic, understanding racism and misogyny are systemic problems, and that poor people work really hard.
We literally live in a era where if you don't take time to routinely call/email your elected officials you risk losing healthcare, internet services, tax refunds, basic needs.
This isn't a democracy; it's a fucking hostage situation.
Tried explaining how white supremacy is an exclusionary ideology that relies on Constantly excluding people for not being "pure" enough, and used nazi eye color charts as an example...
But then I realized not enough people know about nazi eye charts
I cannot stress this enough-
Non white people in America are watching what happens with Palestinians because we know whatever is allowed there will end up here
If you're defending the murder of Palestinian children, we can only assume you also support cops who murder kids here
And now I sound like Dr. See see see
Because they used my devil name on that paperwork. Have you ever had someone change your whole ass name? Put someone who wasn't your parents on your birth certificate?
The ppl on my birth certificate weren't even in the county I was born in
I don't want to be overly rude, but if yall would stop "debating" fascists all the goddamn time, we could actually move past these basic ass social justice 101 convos.
Right wingers aren't serious about learning, they're just trying to spread their propaganda and steal your time
Folks seem confused, so...
Decriminalizing sex work does NOT legalize sex trafficking, rape, or assault of sex workers. It simply allows sex workers to not have to risk arrest or prison.
There’s already laws against sex trafficking. Decriminalizing workers won’t change that.
Just a reminder-
I got into sex work, because I had a sick baby who needed his (asthma) nebulizer treatments on a daily basis.
If I couldn’t bring enough money to the pharmacist on a daily basis, they would take the renter nebulizer back, and my baby would die.
"The victim got the courage to come forward after attending a sex ed class at school, where they spoke about different types of abuse"
Exactly why they want to ban sex ed
Officer Kyle Davis from Indiana is under arrest for trying to film a young teen girl at his home while she was in the restroom.
After being busted Kyle tried to blame the recording on his son.
The victim got the courage to come forward after attending a sex ed class at school,…
it’s probably easier to forgive kamalas anti sex work policies when you don’t have to be the one who compiles the names of sex workers who died this year because of them.
I hate how if I had an abusive boyfriend I would get sympathy, but when my parents are abusive in the same way I’m told I need to give them another chance because “nobody loves you like family”
parental abuse matters too
Begging yall to take Christian zionists more seriously.
Bringing the messiah means bringing about the end of the world. The literal apocalypse. When I say this is a death cult, I'm not exaggerating.
Israeli media report that Argentina President Javier Milei called for the demolition of Al Aqsa mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, "in order to bring the Messiah."
That whole “antifa is just as bad as nazis” was already ridiculous, but now that the gestapo, er I mean federal law enforcement agencies are snatching & disappearing people off the streets, its even more fucking ridiculous
Y’all need to let people be wrong, apologize and grow.
Newsflash- punishment based politics don’t work. They just push away good people who fuck up sometimes while praising actual predators who learned the language and performance.
I remember 4 years ago, when all this was still new and everyone made fun of leftists for making nazi comparisons and using words like “fascism”
Now here we are 🙃
Tonight in Wisconsin. First the anti-Black Lives Matter flag flew outside his rallies, then beside the American flag. Now it has replaced the American flag. That’s significant.
Can't lie, it's wild to say this after we all watched the police failure that was Uvalde.
The parents were getting their kids out of a school shooting before the cops. So yeah, maybe it's a good idea for kids to have a phone when shit goes down bc the cops aren't doing shit
KIDS DO NOT NEED PHONES IN SCHOOL - the argument that it provides safety is false because it does not. Are they hitting the gunman with the phone? Whole school texting the cops and the front office calling. Either way something bad will still happen with or without the phones.
lol I might actually be
#TooFarLeft
for this hashtag. 😂
So I’ll keep it basic. The military budget needs to be slashed, billionaires need to pay taxes, climate change is going to kill us, and everyone deserves healthcare
Stop conflating “broke” with “poor”
Broke= in between paychecks so you can’t get takeout till payday.
Poor= you can never really afford takeout.
Conflating these concepts makes broke bougie ppl think missing Starbucks is the same as poor ppl forced to eat ramen
I just wanna know what yall are gonna do once yall ban porn and now have to account for the fact that misogyny, rape culture, and domestic violence still exist 🤔
I’ve mentioned this before, but this is propaganda and not true.
The stores were already going to close. It was decided 2 years ago.
This has nothing to do with shoplifting. Don’t fall for the copaganda
Walgreens will close five stores in San Francisco next month, citing what it described as a continuing problem of "organized" shoplifting in the city. One of the stores was targeted at least five times by the same man, the authorities said.
I’ve miscarried, aborted, given birth and breast fed. And I still say trans women are women.
I can’t stop you from being a transphobic pos, but don’t you ever lump me in with your ignorant ass
Also, biological femininity is the stupidest thing I’ve heard all day
But y’all love to drag People who are trying. As if y’all were born woke.
Nobody was born aware of everything. We’ve all fucked up. Me, you, everyone. That doesn’t make us bad people if we take the lesson and grow.
Don’t conflate this with intentionally bad behavior, ok?
1 they do steal water
2 they use child labor
3 the ceo of nestle said the idea that everyone is entitled to drinking water is “extreme” and water should be sold to those who can afford it.
@squidpod
Hi, we don't steal water. We care deeply about preserving the high quality & quantity of water supplies in Ontario, and continually monitor our groundwater withdrawals to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the watershed or the associated ecosystem:
Idk. I want to be happy about the clips of AOC grilling Zuck. I really do. She did a great a job.
But like. He still gets to go home, be a billionaire and run his shitty website in a way that hurts the world. Idk. Did he really lose anything?
Wildly unpopular opinion, but I'm not mad about it
People who did non-violent protest actions as simple as handing out flyers are facing RICO felonies
When you make peaceful protedt illegal, there's nothing left to lose
The blood of the martyrs are the seed of the church
America in a nutshell.
#AmyCooper
is only mad because she didn’t get to see an on demand lynching.
Cops in Minnesota murdered a black man yesterday, and that’s what Amy was hoping for in her situation.
But she’s sorry. I’m sure that cop is sorry too. 😒
Whew okay.
So a LOT of pushback to this tweet revolves around the idea that you can talk to cops because you're a "good person"
I regret to inform you all, and almost every single one of yall are actually criminals.
Very short thread explaining below.
NEVER TALK TO COPS.
Even if you did nothing wrong, never ever, ever, ever volunteer any information to police
Cops are legally allowed to lie to you. Cops can use any information, no matter how innocuous it is.
Never speak to cops.
Let be 💯 there’s a huge difference between someone who tries and fails sometimes vs someone who has a history of intentional fuck ups, refusal to learn, and chronic abusive behavior.
Anyone who uses GYMS being closed as a justifiable reason to kidnap a governor isn’t radicalized Bc they’re poor. They’re looking for an excuse to be terrorists. #
If you treat people who try and fail the same as you treat abusers? What’s the point?
You’re not seeking community improvement, you’re seeking self gratification and a hierarchy you benefit from. Do better. Be better.
Replicating bullshit is not the path to liberation
@purplerainblue
It is human trafficking, it's also propaganda to push the idea that men are entitled to submissive women and they can find those women in desperate situations.
You can dress modestly, not go out and party, not be sexually active... and still get called a whore, or a temptress. Just like a woman who has an OF, or a woman who goes clubbing.
Live your life in a way that makes *you* happy, because you'll never make them happy.
Ashanti was essentially blacklisted by Irv Gotti after deciding that she no longer wanted to continue their sexual relationship. Makes me think how many other female artists who suddenly “disappeared” were completely shut out of the industry by controlling manipulative men.
Again, she killed her rapist. She is a minor, he was an adult who was under investigation for making child porn. She was likely on film being raped by the man she killed
#ChrystulKizer
Since yesterday the GoFundMe to support Chrystul & her family while they fight for her right to self-defense raised nearly $6K. Today GoFundMe cancelled the campaign without warning and is taking the funds. If you have experience dealing w/ this devastating situation, let us know
Tell me one sentence you’ve heard that shook you to core, and you’ve never been able to forget it since.
For me- “when a man says no, it’s the end of a conversation, but when a woman says no, it’s the beginning of a negotiation”
White people suddenly appalled by current potus/ICE/police tactics infuriate me.
Poc have always been talking about abuses against us, but y’all chose to ignore it until you had photographic evidence and a potus you didn’t like.
Fuck y’all for ignoring this for centuries
Wait. So kids are suing the federal government for not stopping climate change and the lawyers for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT argued “Americans don’t have a right to a climate that can sustain human life”?!
That’s their argument? If y’all ever call the gop pro life ever again....
Sad seeing so many people defend the nuclear family, when firstly, it’s not natural, it was created with intention and
Secondly, bc it reinforces the idea that mothers aren’t real people with needs and wants. It’s impossible to push a nuclear family model without misogyny
“I remember really trying to yell so that someone would hear me and screaming because of how painful it was,” she told investigators.
HE LEFT BITE MARKS ON HER.
