The 109-page indictment paints the movement to oppose the construction of a massive police training center in the Atlanta area’s Weelaunee Forest as a criminal conspiracy, and it goes back to the Minneapolis police department’s killing of George Floyd, which took place almost a year before Cop City was announced.

By doing so, the National Lawyers Guild said in a press statement, the indictment “attempts to render all mass protest against police violence and racism—including the killing of Rayshard Brooks by Atlanta police—an ‘unlawful conspiracy’ or ‘racketeering.’ ”

The true history of Mount Rushmore is appalling. In a nation that is awash in the blood of innocent humans who were murdered by colonizers, that refuses to reckon with its white supremacist history, Mount Rushmore stands out as a glaring example of the cruelty and violence of America’s brutality.

“The Lakota considered the carving of the four presidents' faces on what was once Six Grandfathers, a defacement of their sacred site, especially as "those four people had a lot to do with destroying our people's land base," Douville said. Indeed, Washington waged war against Native American tribes, Jefferson was considered the architect of policies that would result in the removal of Native Americans from their lands, Lincoln ordered the execution of 38 Dakota Native American rebels, the largest mass execution in American history, and Roosevelt systematically removed Native Americans from their lands.”

“We found the monument had a dark history of ties to the KKK, an illegal war, and the violent suppression of the Native American Lakota (also known as Sioux) people. We looked at each claim in the meme, starting with the history of the region before Mount Rushmore was built, followed by an investigation into its creation and alleged KKK funding.“

If you don’t know the truth about this monument to hate and genocide, please look into it, and encourage others to do the same.

So the police aren't obligated to protect children, but they can handcuff parents trying to protect their children and they can shoot rubber bullets at peaceful protesters...but defunding the police is a radical idea?

There’s a troubling train of thought I see some places online- some people think Kanye is being cancelled because he pissed off the “wrong people” (Jews.) That kind of thinking, though often unintentional, still furthers the antisemitic lie that the Jews are the ones “in charge” in some way. In reality, brands are dropping Kanye for a combination of the white lives matter shirt ordeal, his antisemitic comments, and his lies about George Floyd. He is being cancelled for *both* his antisemitism and antiblackness

lol wait let me get this straight. so a popular trans user gets terminated for repeatedly breaking site rules, the same week as a 16 year old trans teenager is beaten to death at school by classmates-and the fucking /blog deletion/ is the one that tumblr explodes over & calls proof of trans genocide. a blog deletion "victim" is what people are crowdfunding for & rallying around instead of the child who was literally murdered. does no one see how utterly demented that is. why don't you people starting gofundmes to pay for the kids funeral instead of throwing all your money at someone who's alive, unharmed, and probably just going to use it to commission furry hentai? no? right ok great priorities everyone you truly are the saviors of the lgbt community

(also...any guesses which of these people is a white male & which was a choctaw female? surely that has nothing to do with this mismatched backlash though. surely.)

#one of these events has been compared to both holocaust book burnings & george floyd. and its not the one involving an actual murder
