You deserve to be alive, no matter who sees your worth or not. I know it can hurt to not be loved, or to feel as if you aren’t loved, or not to be loved in the way that you deserve, but in spite of all of these things, I hope you know you still deserve to be alive. Your life is still special and worthy. And you still have immense happiness waiting for you. Just a reminder.
The mayor, police, and prosecutor lied about Adam Toledo being armed to justify that a CPD officer murdered a 13 year old who was unarmed and had his arms up (according to body cam footage released today but that I will not share). And the mayor has the audacity to ask for peace before releasing the video. Downtown is already closed. There is no reforming police, they are not an institution of public safety, all they can do is cause further harm.
They lied! In order to smear the name of a 13 YEAR OLD SEVENTH-GRADER the police killed!
Abolish police!
Rest in peace Adam Toledo.

I hate twitter leftists so fucking much. There’s a guy in Brooklyn Center who gave an interview on the news, face exposed, held up a can of soup and looked directly in the camera and said “this is soup for my family” and then winked to the camera. The reporter asked “you’re not going to throw that at police, are you?” And he said “it’s for my family.” Twitter leftists respond to this by all coming out and saying he’s hot and wanting to fuck him.
What he did was go on national television, with his face exposed, and said he was going to attack police officers. He just endangered everyone he organizes with. He will be identified, not just by police, and they’re gonna use that to target people around him. He is putting the lives of his entire crew at risk because he wanted to say the funny meme on television and decided to expose his face to do it. DO NOT FUCKING DO SHIT LIKE THIS. DO NOT ENCOURAGE BULLSHIT LIKE THIS. IT IS AN INFOSEC NIGHTMARE AND YOU ARE GOING TO GET YOUR FRIENDS SPECIFICALLY TARGETED BY POLICE. NOT ONLY WILL THEY HARASS YOU AFTER THE FACT, THEY WILL SPECIFICALLY AIM FOR YOU WITH RIOT MUNITIONS. THIS ISN’T A FUCKING GAME.
Also he’s literally the only person visible in-frame that isn’t even wearing a medical mask. You know. So he doesn’t spread the plague. Like I guess he could be vaccinated? but literally everything about this is indescribably fucking stupid. It makes me angry as hell.
Hey so I found his twitter. It’s all him posting pictures of him on TV, retweeting drawings people made of it, retweeting gifs, making quips all about “soup for my family.” He even has “#soupformyfamily” in his bio and states an organization that he’s president of! He has 4 tweets from prior to the last 24 hours, everything from the last 24 hours on all accounts being him promoting himself as #SoupForMyFamily to try and get clout from this. He’s liked 5 tweets and one was Obama announcing the “Obama Presidential Center” which seems odd for a “soup for my family” kinda guy. His follower count is EXPLODING on twitter right now and the only accounts he follows are national industry unions, nothing expressly socialist (AFL-CIO, Teamsters etc). All his social media only goes back as far as 11/20/2020. But if you google his name you can see that he’s been a political organizer for a couple years, he’s presented a bill to state legislators and written an article or two, so this feels like it’s just a stunt to establish himself. His infosec is trash. I know his name. I know where he organizes. I know roughly how old he is. I know what highschool he went to. I know what his fuckin cat looks like. And I’m just some prick! What about cops? What about fascists?
Don’t enable this. Don’t encourage this. Don’t act like this is cute. At best this guy just painted a target on everyone in his communication network.
yes yes theres a islamophobic problem in france for sure but yall need to remember that the secularism has nothing to do with it. those racist use a version of secularism to excuse their behavior but it isnt the true secularism way:
Secularists pride themselves on the immense achievements of modern societies, which have fought epidemics, fed the hungry and brought peace to large parts of the world. There is no need to credit these achievements to some divine protector: they are the work of men who have developed their knowledge and compassion. Precisely for this same reason, we must take full responsibility for the crimes and failures of modernity, from genocides to ecological degradation. Rather than begging for miracles, we should ask what we can do to help. These are the main values of the secular world. None of these values, as we have seen, are exclusively secular. Jews also appreciate truth, Christians appreciate compassion, Muslims appreciate equality, Hindus appreciate responsibility, and so on. Secular societies and institutions have no difficulty in recognizing these links and in opening their arms to Jews, Christians, Muslims and Hindus, provided that religious doctrine is embodied in the secular code in the event of conflict between of them. For example, in order to be accepted in secular society, Orthodox Jews must treat non-Jews as equals, Christians must avoid burning heretics at stake, Muslims respect freedom of expression, and Hindus abandon the discriminatory system of castes.
On the other hand, religious spirits are not expected to deny God or abandon traditional rites and rituals. The secular world judges people on the basis of their conduct rather than their favorite clothes and ceremonies. A person can follow the most sectarian dress code and participate in the strangest religious ceremonies while showing a deep commitment to core secular values. There is no shortage of Jewish scholars, Christian environmentalists, Muslim feminists and Hindu human rights activists. If they are devoted to scientific truth, compassion, equality and freedom, they are full members of the secular world, and therefore there is no reason to demand that they reiterate their kippas, their crosses, their hijabs or their tilakas. For the same reason, secular education does not involve negative indoctrination that would teach kids not to believe in God and not to take part in any religious ceremony. Rather, secular education teaches children to distinguish truth from belief; to develop their compassion for all suffering beings; to appreciate the wisdom and experiences of all the inhabitants of Earth; to think freely without being afraid of the unknown; and to take responsibility for their actions and the world as a whole.
i feel like im gonna get killed on this website for trying to explain the secularist vibe lol. please understand that secularism is supposed to come from a place of love and respect and all the people using it as a weapon against any religious person is evil. the french secularism is totally flawed for sure but yea, its not because of secularism itself but because of fucking bad people and a stupid and racist government.
just say that you don’t know anything about French politics or rhetoric surrounding laïcité in France and go
Tl;Dr
Person 2 is right OUT of context but didn’t understand the context in OP’s post, and therefore sounds uninformed.
Person 3 then TELLS us this.
My immediate assumption is that Islamophobia and racists jn France call themselves secularists as a default argument to “ur just racist?” and have ruined the word, much like terms ruinging the term “radical feminist” for everyone else.
