"When people saw what had happened to my son, men stood up who had never stood up before." - Mamie Till Mobley

#OnThisDay in 1941, Emmett Till was born, and his legacy lives with us forever. At 14 years old, he was kidnapped, murdered, and lynched in Mississippi by two white men after an alleged interaction with a white woman.

Today, we honor his life and his mother’s bravery in the face of fear and intimidation, which served as a catalyst for the civil rights movement.

⚠️❗️ Please read the description! ❗️⚠️ [may be disturbing to some]

Laura Ann Carleton, or "Lauri" as she was ofthen refeared to, on the 18th of August was murdered by a man, most likely because she had hung a pride flag by the entrance of her shop. (This information is backed up by the fact that her murderer was caught ripping the pride flag off of her shop before the attack, and he also had an anti lgbtq+ history.)

Lauri was NOT, I repeat, she WAS NOT a part of the Lgbtqai+ community. She was a straight, cis woman.

She was the victim of a hate crime against a group she wasn't even a part of.

Homophobia and transphobia hurt not only people who fall under the lgbtqai+ umbrella but many others as well.

Just a few months before Laura's death, underage cis girls were sexually assaulted after being accused of being trans.

I don't want their sacrifices to be forgotten. They suffered at the hands of people who pretend to protect people like them.

Please read more about these crimes (if you can take it, of course; I can't take everything either) and tell people about them.

Violent hate will affect everyone, not just the ones it's "supposed to be" directed at.

Rest in peace, Laura Ann Carleton. I hope one day I can have a chance to draw you in person, on the other side.

The question should be: what was it this serviceman saw and knew that drove him to this? Why did he feel, in the land of free speech, that this was his only option?

a man self immolated in front of the israeli embassy in washington dc yesterday. not just any man. an active member of the us air force. he live streamed his death, and said that he refused to be complicit in a genocide any longer. he said that compared to what palestinians were facing every day, setting himself alight was nothing.

let me reiterate. an active duty air force member burned himself alive because he was so disgusted by what the us government was openly supporting. he live-streamed his own suicide, so the whole world could bear witness as a man in his military uniform set himself on fire to protest his government’s complicity in the horrors that we have all been forced to watch happen in real time. he became a new horror. footage of the immolation blurs him out the moment the fire catches, but you can hear him. it is over in seconds, really, but you can hear him screaming. he shouts “free palestine” until his body physically cannot make any sounds other than guttural screams of agony. and then he falls silent. a police officer arrives and points a gun at his still burning body, shouting at him to get down on the ground. and it is over.

his name was Aaron Bushnell. he was twenty five years old. and he isn’t here anymore because the political ruling class has decided that genocide is perfectly fine as long as it preserves imperialism. in the coming days, people will try to discredit him. to say that he was mentally unstable. they will try to bury his actions to save face and defend israel’s propaganda. do not let them. aaron knew what he was doing. he knew what he was doing when he put on his military uniform, set up his twitch stream, and made his final walk up to the embassy. he knew what would happen to him when he flicked that lighter. do not let them forget. aaron’s blood is on the hands of the political ruling class.

Three promising Nollywood actors went to work… and never came back.

What should have been a movie set turned into a real-life tragedy — poisoned rice wine, unanswered questions, and an ongoing investigation.

Nigeria is mourning. The film industry is shaken. Who is responsible?
