When my love swears that she is made of truth
I do believe her though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutored youth
Unlearned in the world’s false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue;
On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed.
But wherefore says she not she is unjust,
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
O, love’s best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love loves not to have years told.
Therefore I lie with her, and she with me,
And in our faults by lies we flattered be.

“But
if we’re going to constantly use mentally ill people to dodge conversations
about gun control, then the very least we owe them is a fucking plan.”
I need to show this to my grandmother
What you missed from the fourth Democratic debate
The Democratic presidential candidates met for their fourth debate in Charleston, South Carolina on Sunday night. If you missed it, we collected all the highlights, including Hillary’s new attacks on Bernie Sanders re: gun control, healthcare and Wall Street.
ALSO: Great question @chescaleigh!

HAPPENENING NOW (4/28/15): The streets of Baltimore are under siege… by local police. I feel like I’m back in Ferguson 2014. Authorities call for an illegal curfew and martial law. Protesters peacefully demonstrate against it. Police fire tear gas and rubber bullets, unprovoked, into the crowd. #staywoke #farfromover
The Boko Haram massacres that the media isn’t talking about.
They’re burning men to a crisp, raping dozens of women before putting bullets in them, strapping explosives to children and forcing them into busy town squares…
Don’t allow yourself to be blind to the injustices happening all over the world. One is not more important than the other; murder is murder.
Omg
This hurts so much!! My heart can’t deal 😢
If 2000 white people got killed in any country we would be hearing about it for months
😢 This is our world? How can people accept this? How can anyone think this is ohkay? And how can you not cover this? Is dark skin that much of a problem for you? Fuck you! These are people! Living, loving, breathing people who have lost their lives violently! And you are so scared of dark skin that you can’t even show that this is what’s happening to them? Is it cuz then the injustices happening to people of darker skin in every culture will be true? You can’t face that this is true. This genocide of a people with the only reason being because their skin is darker than yours. I’m so fucking disgusted and emotional. I Can’t even look at the picture. But I will to remind me that this is what’s happening. No matter how hard it is I will look at it for strength. And I will never stop fighting for the justice of my people and anyone who is threatened and killed and feared because of things they can’t control, because of things that shouldn’t be feared.
So appalled and fucking livid. Damn
I am a South African.
I have been scrolling down my timeline for days now waiting to see something about Nigeria. This is the first post that I have seen and it breaks my heart.
When Mike Brown was killed every second post was about it. About the injustice of the whole situation. Everyone was up in arms and everyone was angry - it was amazing to see. It was unity and solidarity and awareness.
But now these attacks have begun. Terrible, terrible things have been happening in Nigeria and nobody knows. There are no voices crying out for these innocent souls because the world is turning a blind eye. Because ‘who cares about Africa’ - let alone Nigeria.
This isn’t just because of race - these horrors aren’t being kept from the world because these people are black. Hell - they aren’t even being kept from you! Its because nobody wants to report a story about a third world country. It’s not glamorous enough. It’s not ‘good enough’ for mainstream media.
And that is fucking unacceptable.
YOUNG UNARMED BLACK MAN SHOT AND PARALYZED IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD BY FAKE COP FOR TALKING TO WHITE GIRL IN HIS CAR
On February 4, sitting in his own car in his own neighborhood, talking to a female passenger, Monroe Bird was shot in the neck by a security guard, Ricky Stone, a 52-year-old white man. The bullet pierced the C3 vertebrae in his neck. Standing 6 feet, 8 inches, Bird, a gifted athlete, is now unable to move his arms or legs and relies on a ventilator to breathe.
Heres what you need to know:
- The security guard who shot Bird possessed marijuana at the time of the shooting. He told the Tulsa police that he hadn’t smoked it in a few weeks, and they didn’t even give him a citation. This is the definition of white privilege. Mind you, Tulsa was quick to test Eric Harris for drugs after they killed him and then released the results widely—even though he never acted violently toward officers.
- The security guard went to the tired, age-old excuse and claimed that he saw Bird reach into his glove compartment. According to the police report, no weapons were found in or near the car, and no items that even seemed to belong in the glove compartment were found out or about in the car.
- The security guard claimed he thought Monroe and his female passenger were having sex in the car and that he only approached them because of this. She’s white. Bird is black. Both denied doing anything of the sort.
- The security guard has claimed that Bird, who has no criminal record, attempted to run him over and basically kill him there on the spot. Both the female passenger and Bird denied the guard’s account and stated that they were driving away when Stone began recklessly firing his gun into the car.
- The security guard who shot Bird worked for Benjy D. Smith, who owns Smith & Son Security Company. This important to know because Smith is a reserve deputy for the same Tulsa Sheriff’s Office that is currently under national scrutiny for its unethical practices with Reserve Deputy Bob Bates, who shot and killed Eric Harris earlier this year.
- The insurance company is denying him coverage because they claim “it was his own fault that he got shot.”
PLEASE HELP HIM!!
you can either Donate (doesnt have to be alot it can be as small as $5) or Call the healthcare group and demand they give coverage with the number listed above.
This really hurt my heart.
I just cannot with the world anymore. I avoid the news sometimes cause it is so hurtful. But I also need to be woke.
