Asking the real questions

WELP.
Stop what you are doing.
Read those.
Right now.
I’ll wait.
If you don’t want to read, I’ll explain the key bullet points, but please read them afterwords:
This is not “we didn’t protect him enough.”
This is not “the government screwed up some random detail or accidentally let his killer loose.”
The 111th Military Intelligence had a team taking pictures of his balcony during the assassination.
They brought in a Special Forces 8-Man Sniper Team from the 20th.
Memphis Police withdrew their regular protection detail from him.
A jury of 12 people, six black and six white, found the United States Government guilty of conspiracy to commit murder.
YOUR GOVERNMENT. MY GOVERNMENT. THE GOVERNMENT OF, BY, AND FOR THE PEOPLE, SHOT AND KILLED DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING. And the media never reported the case.
MLK was ASSASSINATED. By a government YOU PAY FOR.
I hate those posts where someone tries to pressure you into reblogging. I almost never ask you to reblog.
This shit is important.
Reblog this. I don’t care what kind of blog you have. I don’t care what you normally talk about.
Reblog this.
A proposal to require notarized parental consent for mental health, substance abuse, or reproductive care for teens passed a key House committee today.

Or to get prescriptions you need a parent present or a NOTARIZED parental consent. North Carolina politicians thinks it is Mayberry and its people don’t have problems that fall outside of the mold of a 1950’s white sitcom family.
This is the same state that decided the prime real estate property that Dorothea Dix’s mental hospital occupies was better used as a park for providing upstanding citizens of the capitol some place to picnic and powerwalk instead of providing treatment for the mentally ill.
He showed the words ‘chocolate cake’ to a group of Americans and recorded their word associations. “Guilt” was the top response. If that strikes you as unexceptional, consider the response of French eaters to the same prompt: ‘celebration.’

Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto (via dark-rye) this speaks to how much we’re programmed to hate ourselves and everything good in life (via queerfabulousmermaid) Especially with our extreme diet culture. Anything is considered an ‘indulgence’ Just look at food commercials. We sexualize the hell out of food, and then make all these puritanical restrictions about them, going on and on about how ‘bad’ you were for eating this and how ‘guilty’ you feel about ‘cheating’ your diet. Fuck outta here with that. (via sourcedumal) |
