On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove a 2 hour old baby, Zammi, from her loving indigenous Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language, which uses minute facial expressions to communicate, will not be able to "[prepare] the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to navigate in Danish society." This test had been recommended not to be used at the federal level before this happened but certain municipalities, including the one this happened in, chose to continue to use it regardless. Not only is this blatantly racist but also violates multiple declarations and conventions that Denmark has signed that protect the rights of indigenous people.
Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back.
Once again recommending donations to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. Not only is it a credible organization, you can donate any amount, so even if you don’t have much money, you can still contribute what you can towards humanitarian aid in Gaza. It takes donations via credit, PayPal, and mailed checks.
I need to your donation urgently
I was living in a tent inside Al-Aqsa Hospital and my tent was bombed and burned💔💔⛺🔥🔥 and I and my children remained in the street. I do not have a tent or a mattress or anything.Not even a place for me and my children 😭😭
This is the lava of fire that fell on me and my children. My tent burned and my children burned. 💔⛺🔥⛺🔥🔥
This treatment is almost non-existent. There is no treatment and I need to buy it for my child. Its price is very expensive, about 400 dollars. 💔😭😭😭
My child burned in front of my eyes and my tent too. Imagine, my dear, your child is burning in front of you and you cannot buy him treatment. Save my child’s life. 😭😭😭💔💔
I am calling on your human conscience to help me buy medicine for my child, treat his burns, 😭🔥⛺🔥and buy a tent to shelter us from the bitter cold of winter. My children need your donations. Save what is left of the children’s lives.🥶🥶💔😭😭
Imagine, my dear, that your child does not sleep at night because of pain and hunger. My children are dying from pain and hunger. Please donate to me and my children. Please, your donation will make me happy and will save my children. Donate $20 and save my children's lives so I can buy them medicine and food.💓💓

5 years ago today, 26-year-old #BreonnaTaylor was killed by Louisville Metro Police after they forced entry into her home.
The killing of Taylor by police officers and the initial lack of charges against the LMPD officers involved sparked numerous protests with supporters adopting the motto #SayHerName. These protests against police brutality and racism were concurrent with the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement across the United States.
Before her untimely death, Taylor was an award-winning ER medical technician who dedicated her life to helping others and aspired to become a nurse.
Taylor's family was awarded $12 million in compensation and was given a promise the LMPD would reform its practices.

additional info:
-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria
many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!
please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month
captured from an ambulance. captured. from an ambulance. do not stop speaking about palestine please
Yo, correct me if I am wrong please, but didn't Hitler rise to power because he promised to fix the German economy and people really liked that so they looked past everything else he was doing??? Like exactly what's happening in America right now???
So many people said they voted for Trump, put a truly evil person in power, because he said he'd fix the economy, and a little voice in my head is going, "Isn't that what happened with fucking Hitler??"
But I've seen no one point that out so maybe I'm miss remembering???????
