37 people were illegally detained in Bellingham, Washington for the ‘crime’ of speaking Spanish. This is so fucking inhumane and cruel

⬆️ racial unity now is matching funds for the detainees and their families. please help if you can.

it's shameful how long i had to look to find an article covering this story that gives more information besides saying "37 undocumented workers were arrested wednesday." cascadia news and the AP were the only sources i found that include any journalism whatsoever beyond the police report.

Hey, this is local for me. It would mean a lot if you could help out even a little bit.

This is my daughter, Salma, only three months old, born into this "cruel war that has been killing innocent people for two years and is still ongoing." Since her birth, she has felt nothing but fear and hunger, deprived of her most basic rights. She needs food, safety, and a dignified life that every child deserves. Therefore, I appeal to you from the bottom of my heart to support her and extend a helping hand to save her. Your donation today could make a difference in saving her from certain death. Donate here

hate how the moderate liberal position is "trans people can play sports as long as they don't ever win"

every single liberal is like "haha you complete fucking idiot! you think trans women are dominating at sports! check this out! *pulls up example of trans women losing at sports* checkmate, conservatives", up until the exact moment that a trans woman is good, heaven forbid. then suddenly they don't have an argument anymore and they're just like "hmm. shit dude. maybe you probably shouldn't compete actually. your joy and success is really making us feel uncomfortable"

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #329 )✅️

Amidst the rubble and under a sky raining fire, we try to cling to life, but death surrounds us from every direction. No sound is louder than the sound of destruction, and no light is seen except the flames. We run in search of shelter, but we find only fear accompanying us, and hunger gnaws at our hearts before our bodies. Hope has become a deception, salvation a mirage, and every attempt at escape ends in a new cycle of pain.

We are here amidst the ruins of our dreams, carrying pain greater than our lives. What fate awaits me and my family? Will we ever be martyrs, or will we grow? The tree of freedom rings church bells and the takbir is raised in the mosques with the joy of the tree of freedom that has grown over the bodies of martyrs: children, women, and the elderly. Where is humanity, O people of all sects and religions? We await your cry to stop the killing and bloodshed. My family needs your support, and every person in Gaza needs your continued support.Please help me by donating or participating. We are now under bombardment and hunger.Please don't let us die alone here. Donate, share

On 28 January 1917, Carmelita Torres, a 17-year-old Mexican maid who worked in the United States, refused to take the mandatory gasoline bath given to day labourers at the border, and convinced 30 other trolley passengers to join her. 

Her protest spread in what became known as the bath riots. Torres was one of many workers who crossed the border between Juarez and El Paso each day. In the name of public health, Mexican workers were frequently subjected to degrading and humiliating treatment. They had to strip naked, brave, undergo a toxic gasoline bath, and have their clothes steamed. The stated aim of the programme was to kill lice, which can spread typhus. However, it was not applied to everyone crossing the border: just working class Mexicans. 

In addition to gasoline being poisonous, it was also a deadly fire risk. A group of prisoners in El Paso being treated with gasoline were burned to death in an accidental fire. Furthermore, US health workers were secretly photographing naked Mexican women.

 On January 28, anger at the practice finally exploded, and within a few hours Torres had amassed a crowd of several thousand mostly women protesters. They blocked all traffic and trolleys into El Paso. They pelted immigration officers with rocks and bottles when they try to disperse them, and when US and then Mexican troops arrived they received the same treatment. The riots were eventually suppressed by the soldiers, and Torres herself was arrested. This appeared to have the effect of discouraging future protests. 

The enforced bathing and fumigation of Mexican workers with toxic chemicals like gasoline, and later DDT and Zyklon B, continued until the 1950′s. The use of Zyklon B at the border appealed to scientists in Nazi Germany, who in the late 1930′s began using the agent at borders and in concentration camps for delousing. Although notoriously they later used it to exterminate millions of people in the Holocaust.“

@ the gringos in the notes whining about how they didnt know this and how their education system is shit…

1- the US consistently ranks higher than mexico in education

2- WE dont use that excuse, no one else but you does. google is free, shut the fuck up

3- if youve ever used that excuse you are now legally obligated to read about the following (on the internet, which again is free and you have access to)

most if not all of these have articles on wikipedia (i linked them), which again you can access for free RIGHT NOW. if you fail to do this i will hack you to pieces and feed you to the dogs. you have no excuses for being ignorant

Jesus said this. Matthew 6:24

jesus said this

my dad had heart surgery yesterday so i called and asked how he was and he went "oh i am just wonderful, blossom" which is not something he has ever once called me in my entire life and then my brother who still lives at home took the phone and went "he's super high on painkillers. he keeps calling me 'old sport'" so apparently my father's true self talks like it's somewhere between 1925 and 1967

I watched the live action version of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" on Youtube and I was not ready for the utter lack of emotions from the CGI animals.

Nala looking concerned about Simba hiding something about his past, a comparison:

Also, in CGI this song called "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" does not take place at night.
