An annual U.S. State Department report detailing human rights around the world will remove all sections covering the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, and the disabled as well as sections dedicated to discrimination against indigenous people and corruption in government, Politico reports. The censored report has likely been drafted in response to the president’s executive orders banning all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in the federal government.

life is so good when ur reading a book and taking it w u everywhere like your little child
I'm not surviving next week
Read a fucking book.
I do want to touch on one more thing. When black people were stolen from Africa and put on those ships. They stripped us of our culture, our language and our history. A lot of us in present day can’t even say where our ancestors came from exactly, we can’t speak the language, we don’t even know the names of our forefathers.
That music scene was so moving because it highlights that despite all of the terrible atrocities, we are connected. Past, present and future. It’s in our soul, it’s in our very bones. We will always carry each other. It’s spiritual and it’s unbreakable. That power is our birthright.
I’m really glad that Aaron’s self-immolation for Palestine is getting attention, but on November 8th there was also a Congolese man who did the same thing for the genocide happening in the DRC. From what I read in the article above, his fate and identity are unknown but I think his story should be getting equal amount of traction and I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it on Tumblr specifically yet.
SOMETIMES
sometimes i just wish i could be mad at you like everyone else…
i wish i had more negative connotations,
stronger anger inside,
just more to make me not love the person that’s gone.
6 months later and still the questions come…
what happened?
y’all were so perfect for each other.
i guess not perfect enough in your mind.
and sometimes i think,
maybe i made it up.
maybe it was a dream,
or rose colored glasses,
i really don’t know.
i wish i did,
but you won’t tell me.
you just keep lying so what’s the point?
when you are so scared,
scared to hurt me if i’m not hurting you.
you won’t say the dark truth,
even if i dig it out of you.
i just don’t know how we can push through when our time restarts.
will tumblr ever become popular again.... i kinda liked it before :/
