His name is Jacob Blake. He was unarmed, trying to break up a fight. He was tasered and shot 7 times while trying to get into a car. His kids were watching.

This happened on 8/23. Havent found too many posts on tumblr about it yet. Police tear gassed protestors who gathered outside the police station. I'll keep an eye out for a gofundme/petition.

Charge the cops who shot Jacob Blake

How to Demand Justice For Jacob Blake

1. Call local officials to demand police accountability (I tried to look for emails, but I don’t know how effective they are as of yet. Their websites are so slow, probably from others doing the same.)

Kenosha City Attorney: 262-653-4170

Kenosha Mayor and City Administration: 262-653-4000; mayor@kenosha.org

Wisconsin Department of Justice: (608) 266-1221

Kenosha Police Non Emergency Line: 262-656-1234

2. Donate to help bail out protesters

Milwaukee Freedom Fund / Directory of Community Bail Funds if you need a list of bail funds across US

3. Take to the streets yourself

In the article, there are tips and info you must read (like advice from Milwaukee Freedom Fund, general resources, requesting bail help from Milwaukee Freedom Fund, if you recieve a curfew ticket reach out to ACLU—protest@aclu-wi.org).

4. Support BLM

In this section, the author reccommends community organizations. Check them out.

5. Don’t share disturbing footage

Share resources. The author writes, “While footage of Blake being shot by a police officer may prove valuable for prosecuting the officer involved, it is far more useful at this stage to share resources than traumatic video of the incident.”

Right now, I cannot find a gofundme campaign for Jacob Blake and his family, but if there is one that is directly connected to his family, please let me know.

In major cities across the country, mailboxes are being removed or locked.

👆🏼At the same time, FedEx is halting deliveries to Black neighborhoods in Chicago.

The new changes come from Trump’s appointed Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, justifying the cuts as cost-saving.

Ask yourself why any public service should operate as a business.

Ask yourself why this country centralizes power to allow for 1 person to destroy an entire public service. Why does the presidency exist and why should they have this power?

Monica Lewinsky is funnier than all of the comedians who made shitty jokes about her.

I havent seen this post in a long time

certainly not with this new addition

but OP, thank you so much for this post, the old and the new parts

I hope things are getting better <3

This is beautiful

my 8-year-old cousin got a spiderman pinata for his birthday today and he hit it so hard that he removed spiderman’s cardboard head from its shoulders and my cousin’s 11-year-old friend goes, without missing a beat, “I don’t feel so good Mr. Stark” and i lost my shit. kids really are our future.

I’m going to fucking scream

Fragile white masculinity and white nationalist hate via Trump/MAGA are defining the Right Wing. They are hurting, they have been lied to by GOP/FOX for so long, they are not fitting in or assimilating to the real world, and they see violence as their only option.

This is not 'your' country to take back, never was.

APPARENTLY, I DID’T REBLOG THIS SO I SPENT OVER AN HOUR FINDING IT AGAIN SO I COULD.

Dang that’s dedication to my one terrible post thank you…

It deserved the reblog tbh.

Her tuition so damn high she can wear whatever tf she wants

Spite goals

Her name is Letitia Chai, she is Korean, and her presentation was “Acting in Public: Performance in Everyday Life”.

Her demonstration drew two dozen supporters. She was wearing a modest shirt and some cut-off shorts (which we can’t see in the images here because they’re mostly hidden by her laptop, exacerbating the need for retort against her professor’s disagreement with them). When her professor also asked what Chai’s mother would think of her attire, she informed him that she’s a gender and sexuality professor.

Letitia Chai: Chaotic good

Jonathan Van Ness makes a valuable statement on the importance of good teachers.

Toni Morrison, a Nobel Laurete, an icon of the literary world, and an elder in the womanisn movement has died at the age of 88. Born Chloe Ardelia Wofford, Morrison was an unfailing leader in the push for Black women narratives and wrote such classics as Song of Solomon, Sula, and Beloved, the latter of which earned her a Pulitzer Prize. Much can be said about the transformative power of her works, but I’d rather leave you with her own words right now:

Rest in Power, Toni Morrison. Thank you for the gift of your words and the beauty of your life.

… Was this just Kate McKinnon doing an improv riff on her feelings about Gillian Anderson?
