Video Transcription from user @/lelegenevieve on TikTok: “If you’ve been supporting the Black Lives Matter movement or are looking for ways to support, please stop scrolling and signal boost this video. I’ve been coding—pretty tirelessly—everyday for my website pb-resources.com. It’s an education tool and resource I’ve been using to compile information to fight police brutality and white supremacy. There are calls to action, educational tools, and different places to donate. Today I added this section that allows you to input your information and send automated emails; and everything is filled out for you. It was also really important that for me to adds way to support the Black trans community. And in a few days, the website will be generating ad revenue and 100% of the proceeds will be donated; so all you have to do is visit the site to support BLM. Lastly, I’ve been asking you guys to follow me on Instagram (@/alexisdenisew) so I can hit 10k and get the swipe up update and I’m almost there. So if you haven’t already, go follow.”
If anyone with experience with audio transcription formatting would like to repost this with a better transcript, please do, my experience is limited.
As of today, June 16th, 2020, Alexis is at 11K followers on Instagram and has the swipe up feature, but please continue to share this website!
pres. trump sent federal troops into portland to squash the protests and they shot someone in the head with an impact round last night and shattered his skull. his blood is still on the sidewalk outside the federal courthouse. they are not like local cops and they are NOT fucking around. they carry ARs with live ammo and they are merciless. i am very sincerely scared that federal forces are going to instigate a kent state type situation by killing protesters as an example sometime between now & november and i am very scared it’s going to be here
Supporting black lives matter (or not) is not a question of politics or political beliefs. It is a question of valuing human lives. If you choose not to stand with black people, your statement is that their life’s don’t matter or matter less than yours. It should absolutely never be considered a political stance to say people should not be murdered.
[Note: When J. Elliot refers to her being classed as one of ‘your people’ in relation to black people of color, it’s based on her reputation of being an outspoken, anti-racism ally].

A friend of mine posted this and tagged my old instagram account, asking me to share it. I figured sharing it here where I actually have a following, would be far better.
Please remember that just because the government is giving into pressure and greed, that doesn’t mean that any of this is getting any better, in a lot of ways it’s getting worse. And even if you yourself aren’t being as heavily affected anymore, there are people and communities that are.
Stay safe Darling ones, and help others remain safe too.
Police officers shoot and kill Kid in Los Angeles: ‘He ran because he was scared’
Andrew Heney, owner of the Freeway autoshop, told a local CBS affiliate: “We had a security guard that was out front, because we had just had certain issues with people tagging and stuff like that.”
“And then the police came up, and they pulled their guns on him and he ran because he was scared, and they shot and killed him. He’s got a clean background and everything. There’s no reason.”
The sheriff’s department are claiming Andres Gyuardado had a gun but the autoshop owner and witness to the shooting says that’s absolutely not true he never carried a weapon and didn’t that night.
What’s even worse is that right after the shooting, the Store owner said the cops immediately destroyed all the surrounding security cameras, broke into the store, stole his DVR with the recordings, and then created an illegal warrant after doing all this.
The shop owner also states he never called the police and doesn’t understand because “There was no reason for them to be there.”

Literally just don't talk to the cops if they arrest you, do not do not do not explain your side of the story, it doesn't matter what you say, you won't be calm, you won't have a clear head, you will fuck up and say something that can incriminate you. You have the right to plead the fifth amendment. even if you are innocent of a crime, because if it's something that could result in your conviction, you have the right to plead the fifth.
So if you're falsely accused, or guilty and you just don't want to go to jail, plead the fifth to the police. You talking means they can extrapolate whatever they want from you and leave out what they don't, and convict you. Any and every lawyer will tell you this. Some ex-cops will even tell you this
I’m sick of seeing posts about Yemen that don’t mention the source of the crisis. There is a REASON why there is a famine going on and most of the infrastructure for clean water, housing, medical care, etc has been destroyed. The reason being that Saudi Arabia, with United States support, “intervened” in the Yemeni civil war after the Houthi movement ousted the former president following the Arab Spring. The famine didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s the result of a naval blockade. The lack of clean water, healthcare, and housing didn’t come out of nowhere either. The country’s infrastructure was bombed to bits because Saudi Arabia and a coalition of eight other Sunni-majority states, with logistical support from the US, UK and France, are treating this as a proxy war with Iran which, like the Houthis, is Shia. This is genocide. It is intentional. They are TRYING to kill the Yemenis.
