*Here you have various WoC (women of colour) wearing their traditional, religious and cultural head-coverings. Please try and persuade me that all these women, from various continents are oppressed because they choose to wear traditional/religious/cultural garments.

As a woman of colour, I preserve the right to wear my garments religiously and culturally. I will not take off my headscarf or any form of head covering because your ignorance has let you to believe that I am ‘oppressed’. I will wear my culture and religion with pride, and shouldn’t have to be afraid I will face discrimination because of your lack of knowledge of my culture or religion.

*Please reblog*

I am a Palestinian war child, and I live in Gaza

Do you know what “Gaza” means?

It means a place where heroes like me come from

It means kids like me becoming grown-ups by the age of seven,

Becoming men by ten, and warriors by eleven

Bobby Seale looking over bags of food being donated to the black community.

I think it’s telling that folks are more likely to circulate images of the BPP holding guns than they are of them passing out food. Even folks who supposedly support/ed the party. Guns are sexy and ~political~and virulent and masculine—groceries bags of food—that’s not what revolution is about. Except, that’s exactly what revolution is about.

“The term “illegal immigrant” was first used in 1939 as a slur by the British toward Jews who were fleeing the Nazis and entering Palestine without authorization. Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel aptly said that “no human being is illegal.””

It would be good for Wiesel to listen to himself.

Why is the Department of Homeland Security purchasing 450 million hollow point bullets? Are they planning on killing millions of people in the near future?

America’s Top 10 Most-Polluted Waterways

Within the overall waste, the researchers identified 1.5 million pounds of carcinogens, 626,000 pounds of chemicals linked to developmental disorders and 354,000 pounds of those associated with reproductive problems.

We have come a long way with efforts to clean up America’s waterways, rivers, and lakes, but there is still a lot of work to be done — especially around point sources like these on the list (worst = 1):

AK Steel Corp (Rockport Works) - Indiana - Ohio River - 24,305,396 lb/yr

US Army Radford Army Ammunition Plant - Virginia - New River - 12,006,602 lb/yr

AK Steel Corp Coshocton Works - Ohio - Muskingum River - 5,500,000 lb/yr

Dupont Chambers Works - New Jersey - Delaware River - 5,354,113 lb/yr

Tyson Fresh Meats Inc WWTP - Nebraska - Missouri River - 4,623,500 lb/yr

Cargill Meat Solutions Corp - Nebraska - Shonka Ditch - 4,614,722 lb/yr

DSM Chemicals North America, Inc. - Georgia - Savannah River - 4,527,472 lb/yr

Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. - Nebraska - Tricounty Canal - 3,386,162 lb/yr

Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. - Illinois - Rock River - 3,290,330 lb/yr

North American Stainless - Kentucky - Ohio River - 3,206,744 lb/yr

It’s important to note that the vast majority—if not all—of these releases are perfectly legal. I reached out to all of the companies on the list above and received a response from several. They all basically told me the same thing: “All discharges meet permit requirements,” Cargill said. “This is a natural process that is fully licensed, and included as part of our wastewater discharge reporting,” echoed McCain Foods.

I really love how society tells girls they should wear makeup because they’re ugly and then tells them they’re fake for wearing it and how girls should be confident but if they are confident they’re arrogant and they should be assertive but if they are assertive they’re bitches
