Important news re: “Sweden”-

swan2swan:

Donald Trump wasn’t referencing a terrorist attack, and he never said it was a terrorist attack.

Don’t make jokes about how he said there was a terrorist attack, because he will catch that arrow and stab you with it after writing “Fake News” on the shaft.

What Donald Trump was referring to was a Fox News documentary describing how Sweden had increasing crime rates (from a 1997-2001 study, it’s actually low now) and about how the government is covering up violence committed by refugees (questionable).

Now, he was still dealing with what was probably “fake news”, but be careful with the jokes. This is his game that you’re playing.

“I need a million people to share this. I just went on a make a wish trip with my nephew and family. The trip started with disaster and luggage and medical equipment in Seattle which finally got to us in the middle of our cruise in the bahamas. On the trip home I sat down at gate b54 Denver. United to talk on the phone. I set my backpack down beside me. There were 2 young men sleeping right beside my chair. As my call ended, my backpack and the young men were gone. They most likely got on a plane with my pack. My camera with all our pictures are gone. I don’t care about the cash, jacket, or personal items. I don’t even care about my camera. I need the SD card back. Please please mail it to my office at. Vista ideal protein, 7201 W Grandridge Blvd, Kennewick, WA 99336. This is the only picture I have on my phone. All the Disney cruise pictures, as well as my family holiday pictures are on the SD card.”

Hey everyone, if you could boost this it would be really appreciated. 

My mom recently went along to help on a cruise with my cousin’s children. Both kids have INAD, a rare and terminal genetic disorder. The life expectancy for those diagnosed with INAD is 5-10 years old. 

They went on a carefully planned and very difficult Make A Wish vacation, a chance for the parents to take a break and the kids to have some fun. It takes a LOT of work with kids this sick for trips like this to be possible. My mother, who loves these boys like they’re her own, went along (along with the kids’ maternal grandmother) to help with the childcare.

On the trip back on February 17, 2017, my mother was in the Denver airport at Gate B54 around 5pm Mountain Time when her bag with her camera was taken. The SD card contained all the photos from this vacation (as well as our family Christmas). 

These little boys are going to have very short, very difficult lives, and there won’t be a lot to remember them by, certainly not a lot of happy fun memories. My mom isn’t asking for any of her belongings back, not even the camera. She just needs the SD card. 

She’s not looking to press charges or get anyone in trouble. We don’t know if the pack was taken on purpose or by mistake, and we don’t care. We would just really, really appreciate it if the SD card was returned.

Thank you and please boost. 

FBI arrests neo-Nazi planning Dylann Roof-style massacre on synagogue

So, uh, holy shit

Holy shit.

Diaspora Jews I’m really scared for you guys 😦 this is getting too real

Am I the only one confused as to why a post about a guy apparently wanting to shoot up a synagogue ends with statistics about anti-Muslim hate crimes and absolutely nothing about antisemitism

Yeah, that’s pretty damn confusing.

Especially since Jews are literally the #1 hate crime target in proportion to population in the US.

Shaun King wrote an article about this and did not mention that Jews were the target in any way. I really like and respect Shaun King, and he’s been really vocal about Bannon’s antisemitism in particular, which I sincerely appreciate, but dude COME ON.

PREACH!

Give this a 100,000 notes please. This needs to be all over the internet.

THIS! Conservatives want to pretend that academia is made up of liberal elites instead of admitting that education and factual knowledge fly directly in the face of their ignorant, ridiculous views.

I’m surprised it took this long for someone to say this tbh

every tweet made my heart grow bigger

The government just quietly banned disabled child refugees from Britain

the-punk-prophet:

infernalseason:

The Tories always manage to find a new low to sink to. But then they don’t care about disabled people anywhere. 

So that’s, “fuck the most vulnerable because it’s inconvenient.” Nice. Got it. Another excellent lesson in morality from the Tories.

And the institutional coddling of white racists under the Trump administration continues. 

This excerpt is *important* for context:

Speaking to reporters, [Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL)] expressed anger about what had happened.

“I’ve been here 25 years and I’ve never been told by the Speaker of the House that I can’t attend a meeting I’ve requested,” he fumed.

The speaker of the house PAUL RYAN is facilitating a system of racism and oppression when he chooses to bar Representatives of color, their colleagues, from voicing their concerns about racist acts. 

As we can see the decision to prevent notably outspoken and critical voices of color from attending the meeting they requested goes against 25 years of precedent. Ryan is GOING out of his way and ignoring precedent because the feelings of sensitive white racism is too valuable.
