Things to remember about the victim in this shooting:

- he was Hispanic

- he was seen trying to sign at the officers to explain what was going on

- he had no criminal record whatsoever

- neighbors reported that he always carried the “weapon” police felt threatened by, a pipe, because of the stray dogs in the area

- he showed no sign of understanding the officers’ verbal warnings not to get any closer, and it’s likely that he was advancing in order to read their lips

- he is the 712th death in police shootings this year alone

As a lifeguard, I was expected to know basic sign language in case any deaf clients came to us for help. Why the fuck are fucking police not required to have the same training, or at least be expected to entertain the thought that deaf people exist?

The victim’s name is Magdiel Sanchez. He was killed in September of 2017.

Prosecutors declined to charge the officer who shot and killed him.

He’s not an anonymous person, let’s remember his name and his life.

Beyoncé IS the HARDEST working person in music and that’s just that. I will NOT let people call her overrated…. not when she’s pulling out performaces like this coachella one. The concept, the arrangement/remixes, the dancing, HER FUCKING VOICE; this woman had twins LAST YEAR!!!! Beyoncé has gotten to the point where she could put out mediorce shit and people would still eat it up but no she’d NEVER do that. She’s always gonna bang out amazing visuals, intricate dance moves, and breaktaking vocals… we really don’t deserve her

watching Syrians in Damascus on my Twitter feed panicking and saying that can hear bombs going off & see aircraft over their heads & that they’re saying goodbye to their families and Trump/Macron/May get to sit in a nice cushy room and deal out death in the interest of fucking capital, an artificial economic concept and just I’m so angry they all deserve to die slow painful deaths

weavemama:

I understand a lot of us are concerned about a possible war but we have to understand that war and destruction has been unfortunate reality in Syria for YEARS. people in Damascus are waking up to sounds of explosions as we speak. we don’t have to worry about waking up to that kind of stuff here. our lives are never at danger imperial wise. we are here being secured while the US bombs innocent brown people. y’all can express your fears all you want but please please please understand your privilege when it comes to not suffering from the consequences of an imperialistic murder machine
