Hey, did you know Border Patrol agents are fond of destroying the food and water caches left in the desert crossing so people don’t die of hunger and thirst?
179 people died crossing between Mexico and Arizona last year, where this happened.
Way to contribute to the deaths of innocent people, sworn officers of the American government!
Regardless of your views on immigration and “illegal” aliens, this is reprehensible. Nothing positive could possibly be gained from such behavior. This is pure cruelty and the result could result in the death of people who, by no stretch of the imagination, could possibly be worthy of a death sentence.
a bunch of people will drive into the desert with guns and shoot holes in water tanks that the green valley samaritans leave out there it’s sickening
Fuck the border agents & every us govt official who knowingly let’s poor people die.
A US commission called it the “the largest mass incarceration of a minority population in the world today” while a leading historian called it “cultural cleansing”.
The internment programme aims to rewire the political thinking of detainees, erase their Islamic beliefs and reshape their very identities. The camps have expanded rapidly over the past year, with almost no judicial process or legal paperwork. Detainees who most vigorously criticise the people and things they love are rewarded, and those who refuse to do so are punished with solitary confinement, beatings and food deprivation.
given that china was already doing organ harvesting from political prisoners (esp practitioners of falun dafa), we can probably expect that to happen here
Rescuers on Monday pulled at least 10 people alive from ash drifts and mud flows that poured down the slopes of Guatemala’s erupting Volcano of Fire, but officials said at least 33 people were dead and the toll was expected to rise.
The head of the country’s disaster agency, Sergio Cabanas, gave the updated death toll, but said rescuers using helicopters had pulled 10 people from areas swept over by a towering cloud of thick ash, mud or lava.
Residents of El Rodeo, about 8 miles (12 kilometers) downslope from the crater, said they were caught unaware by fast-moving pyroclastic flows when the volcano west of Guatemala City exploded Sunday, sending towering clouds of ash miles into the air.
Searing flows of ash mixed with water and debris down its flanks, blocking roads and burning homes.
The charred landscape left behind was still too hot to touch or even to pull bodies from in many parts, melting the shoes of rescuers. Workers told of finding bodies so thickly coated with ash they appeared to be statues. Inhaling ash or hot volcanic gases can asphyxiate people quickly. (AP)

Y’all I just woke up to my whole community freaking out over an INCOMING MISSILE THREAT
I’d like y’all to take a step back and fucking think about how incompetent and inane the people running this country are when something like this can happen
For those who don’t know, it literally happened about 20 min ago, there was a message broadcast saying that a Korean missile was inbound for Hawaii
I was getting so many freaked out messages and people were crying and people thought they were about to DIE
The only reason me& my family were skeptical was because the damn bomb siren by my house was not going off
Then around 20 min later we got this message
The fucking incompetents of the people who “accidentally” sent this alert (I assume civil defense)
This isn’t just some fucking “mistake” as they put it, it’s probably as bad of a “mistake” as you can make. When people are crying and calling me and asking if it’s gunna be okay and fucking confessing things to me before they are (to their knowledge) about to die, then only are to find out the multiple alerts are just “mistakes” THATS A HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM
IM SICK AND TIRED OF THE AMERICAN FORCES GETTING A PASS ON THEIR BULLSHIT BECAUSE IT MEANS THIS SHIT CAN HAPPEN
IT MEANS THAT THIS SHIT HAPPENED AROUND HALF AN HOUR AGO AND I HAVENT SEEN ANY OFFICIAL APOLGIES OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THE MILITARY, CIVIL DEFENSE, OR THE GOVERNMENT BESIDES A SIMPLE MESSAGE READING “ it was a mistake”
There isn’t even a “breaking news” section on YouTube for fucks sake
Just goes to show that Hawaii is thought of as nothing but land
No culture, no people, to America it’s just land valuable enough to protect for its convenience, but the people mean nothing
Don’t worry America, we forgive you for illegally annexing us, and killing our culture, and our native people, and using our land for money, and doing your own uranium bomb testing right here over our sacred mountain and our delicate watershed, so thanks for threatening us with nuclear bombs, fucking thanks
1. Call Out The U.N., make sure they direct their efforts toward this cause
2. Support the International Organization For Migration (IOM).
3. Fight the “root causes” of slavery and trafficking
4. Hold social media companies accountable
According to the IOM, smugglers have previously used Facebook Live to broadcast videos of imprisoned migrants in
Libya to send these videos to migrants’ family members as a way of
extorting money for their release. The IOM is asking social media
companies to ban the use of their services for the sharing of these
types of videos. You can also write to Facebook, and have this stopped.
5. Donate to global anti-slavery companies
6. Help raise awareness!
7. Shop slave free
Atlanta is in the top 3 across the world for sex trafficking. Sad but true
The human trafficking crisis in Africa needs more attention. Africans are being sold like slaves and there has yet to be outrage in the western world. There is literally video footage of Africans being sold to Arabs. SLAVERY IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL
Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.
We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.
We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]
This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?
we’re almost ¾ of the way there!! c’mon guys, every bit counts!
will it ever stop
fucking signal boost
IF YOU ARE NOT SIGNAL BOOSTING THIS YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
IF THE U.S. FALLS TO THIS IT WILL OPEN OTHER DANGEROUS DOORS INTERNATIONALLY.
Start a civil war against the US government.
Signal boost for my us followers
I try to keep the things I reblog as blog/mun-centric as possible, but this is something I just can’t let slide.
I’ve been following this cause since last year. I’ve signed petitions, I’ve called representatives, I’ve been to protests, the whole nine yards.
This right here? This is not a joke. This is seriously happening, guys.
Remember the Wikipedia shutdown? That was to protest this right here. If you haven’t taken action against this yet, frankly, what is wrong with you? If this doesn’t get stopped, we’re going to lose the thing that brings us all together unless we shell out huge sums of cash to these corrupt bastards.
Do not just sit there and keep browsing.
Do not scroll past this.
Fight.
yo this shit important okay? im pretty worried myself
For half an hour, three men dressed in fatigues and armed with semi-automatic rifles stood across the street from the temple. Had they tried to enter, I don’t know what I could have done to stop them, but I couldn’t take my eyes off them, either. Perhaps the presence of our armed guard deterred them. Perhaps their presence was just a coincidence, and I’m paranoid. I don’t know.
Several times, parades of Nazis passed our building, shouting, “There’s the synagogue!” followed by chants of “Seig Heil” and other anti-Semitic language. Some carried flags with swastikas and other Nazi symbols.
Soon, we learned that Nazi websites had posted a call to burn our synagogue. I sat with one of our rabbis and wondered whether we should go back to the temple to protect the building. What could I do if I were there? Fortunately, it was just talk – but we had already deemed such an attack within the realm of possibilities, taking the precautionary step of removing our Torahs, including a Holocaust scroll, from the premises.
