I’m just here to remind you that everything that is happening in Ferguson right now is because of the residents and activists in Ferguson that have spent 215 days protesting. I’m also here to remind you that Black people have led this movement. And for this reason, we will never allow anyone to force a white savior narrative on us.

We WILL get free. “Ain’t no power like the power of the people cause the power of the people don’t stop!”

No Justice, No Peace (¾/15): The full report of the Department of Justice’s investigation into the Ferguson Police Department has been released and it is nothing short of horrifying. Please take the time to read each screencap above, and if you can stomach more afterwords, read the full report. The above barely scrapes the surface of the indignities Ferguson PD inflicted on the people they were supposed to protect and serve. Ferguson PD is not unique. This is everyday

it’s important that we pay tribute to Leelah and Zander, but it’s also important that we pay tribute to the five trans women of color murdered in 2015 so far. I have seen next to nothing about these women. They are just as important as Leelah or Zander. They deserve the same recognition.

all cops are bastards…and whiny pissbabies apparently

Real talk: If I was anywhere near that newspaper, I would buy five copies a day just to spite those murderers.

In fact, you should. Just order five copies of this paper a day. And then write on every page “Stop murdering POC” and send each page, individually, to that particular lodge.
