Every year on the third Monday in January, which falls on January 16 this year, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed. King was a significant figure in the civil rights movement, and he is most known for his efforts to promote racial equality and eradicate racial segregation in the US. Cada año, el tercer lunes de enero, que cae el 16 de enero de este año, se celebra el Día de Martin Luther King Jr. King fue una figura importante en el movimiento de derechos civiles y es más conocido por sus esfuerzos para promover la igualdad racial y erradicar la segregación racial en los E.U.#1936coffee #stopkillingblackpeople #philandocastile #blacklivematter #ripfloyd #racialequality #notoracism #theshowmustbepaused #ihaveadream #silenceisviolence #march #nojusticenopeace #civilrights #sayhername #racisminamerica #changeiscoming #martinlutherkingquotes #justiceforahmaud #icantbreathe #saynotoracism #wpw #blacktuesday #policereform (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnfRxc3uAzS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Domestic violence can present itself in a variety of ways, from physical and sexual abuse to emotional, verbal and even financial abuse. Abuse should not be swept under the rug and ignored. Silence hides violence!

Owner Tre Escobar

Dear Community

This is a Respectful situation due to circumstances concerning her methods of thinking and heritage. Oui would like to inform you that Life Goes On; she has perfected her craft in a willful way and will disregard any arrogance contributed to past political views. I am beyond happy and elated to be with this woman and she is my Wife. I will no longer accept or participate in any conversation pertaining to her will sick (i.e. cancer) and as of May 13, 2024 we present our daughter Nadia Rose Escobar to the world. None of you spoke up for our children neither did anyone uphold what we have already foreseen; our campaign is a willful attribute to our companies. Contributing through our children is our promise to not only them but also our family and we plan to continue to make them proud. We graciously thank you for the release. Case Closed. Yes We are Together. #SilenceisViolence

Tre is my Best Friend. Hi it’s Kayla. Yea it’s Different out here you know in these Leimert streets. If you’re Looking for him; he’s right here. Well. I’m back where I embodied Sza the voice of reason mmm and encouraged therapy but it seems we have been taken advantage of by possibly our circle of influence. As a “Hudson” it is degrading to watch how much the streets has changed and what happened to our medicine; I am alive and well and so is he; I apologize yes I was Aaliyah at a moment in time. But right now Lift HIM UP! Tre L Escobar is the active one in the neighborhood promoting and purchasing land for our children and children’s children in the community whether it is being glorified or not; it is a disgrace to see how many patrons have been participating in ruining good relationships and disrespecting what this commerce has worked so hard to keep in tact. Therapy is the answer we are the voices whom believe ganja is medicine; with the unlimited resources of dispensaries why and how has the god given medicine been contaminated even right here in the Crenshaw District. We thrive with mary jane not only to sleep but to eat and create; so what happened to the taste and the smell that takes you higher and not to hell especially in rage. Now turn the page Kayla Rose myself would like to Sleep Peacefully without being harassed about the past yes I passed away but God gave me a third chance on my death bed along with a note called 4 page letter. Flower saves lives and your own relationships will save your own a** from God’s Property Tre is my friend first so let’s keep our voices to ourselves and go heal cause that’s what we intend to do as someone as hacked both of our phones, property, kidnappings, sacred invasion and numerous other activities the eyes are watching and so is god. My best and only advice is pray eat love sing and leave us alone especially those that like to play dress up in my clothes; this isn’t a laughing matter but I am Hurt because if you know you just know. Please leave the narrative alone I’m Good. He is Good. Life is Good. And the Rules are still…

tcypark BIPOC really need more from white aspiring allies than ❤️😢✊etc. A friend just told me about her Asian American friend getting verbally abused at an LA post office by a woman and NO ONE stood up for her. When a random man did intervene, IT WAS TO JOIN IN ON THE ABUSE.

Get some bystander training. Read up on de-escalation because it is damn near impossible for BIPOC to calm down angry racists themselves. DO SOMETHING.

Editing to add: I don’t condone violence as a response with the exception of self-defense. Also, #silenceisviolence

Save Muslim Lives

I've seen people posting about BLM and Stop Asian Hate, but I haven't seen nearly enough about the growing Islamophobia everywhere; or the fact that the greatest mass incarceration since the Holocaust is happening to Muslims in China right now. So here are some facts to spread awareness and please reblog and make your own posts! To bend what Audre Lorde said, "I am not free while any person is unfree, even when their shackles are very different from my own."

In China, they are calling the concentration camps "education centers" while Muslims are being taken from their families and kept there for months to over a year. Survivors have reported being beaten and yelled at, prevented from using the bathroom, and hit with electric prods. Reports have said that children are being separated from their parents, people are being raped, tortured, and assaulted. President Xi Jinping said he wanted to "wipe them out completely" and employed mass sterilization and internment. Some people in the camps committed suicide. The government claims that they have released everyone, but many are still waiting for their loved ones to return.

In France, President Macron has been passing anti-Muslim laws for years now and is currently passing a ban on wearing the hijab for girls. Already there are laws allowing the government to interfere in mosques and any other Muslim-led organizations. Muslims can't homeschool their kids, choose doctors based on gender (for religious reasons or otherwise), and are being forced into secularist education. This has led to over a 50% rise in Islamaphobic attacks and over a 30% rise in attacks on mosques.

Please speak up! The U.S. is not exempt, and neither is anyone else. There has been a large rise in discrimination and attacks everywhere. If you are silent, you are part of the problem!

Silence is Violence

We need to take a stand. Silence is violence, we must seek justice for our black brothers and sisters who experience constant oppression and racism at the hands of the corrupt justice system. I stand with the protestors and the black lives matter movement. We cannot allow this racial systematic injustice to continue.

Here are a few useful links to help the cause and be an ally:

[kickasstransdumbass]

I’m case y’all were wondering

Police are attacking peaceful protestors first

The police forces are firing rubber bullets directly at the protestors’ heads, torsos, and necks. Rubber bullets are meant to be bounced off the ground and into a persons legs to cause pain, NOT harm. Rubber bullets have killed people because of misuse. Not to mention rubber bullets are roughly the size of a very large cigar

(These photos are only three out of four kinds of bullets and there are some are a little shorter and much more compact)

Rubber bullets are made of metal canisters cover in a plastic coating. They can and have been leathal.

The police have already killed people by firing rubber bullets directly at protestors faces, and the police have blinded a large number of people by aiming for their eyes.

And recently some police forces have switched to wooden bullets roughly the size and shape of a jumbo marshmallow

The military police are using tear gas, throwing them directly into large groups of people, and on one occasion, directly at a mans face. Tear gas is illegal to use in warfare.

Let me say that again: tear gas is illegal to use in warfare.

And yet they use it on the citizens of a country they’re supposed to protect.

They have also been firing on, throwing tear gas into, and destroying medical tents. This is a war crime under the geniva convention.

They are firing on, spraying mace at, and generally injuring medical persons during the protests. They have on many occasions prevented medics from getting to injured people and treating them. This is also a war crime under the geniva convention.

The military police are macing peaceful protestors. People who are sitting peacefully, standing, kneeling, not doing anything but existing in front of the officers, are maced point blank directly in their faces.

Officers are also macing and gassing children. Two different children, one of which was a toddler, were maced by police. Police who were well and fully aware that they were macing children. Not to mention police are gassing and macing crowds of people that contain children in them, which police are also aware of.

Police Forces regularly leave the lines to approach protestors, who are more than far enough away, to mace, hit, or try to arrest them.

In one case a police officer forced a black mans hand onto a wooden stick on the ground, while pinning said man on the ground, in order to claim that the man had a weapon and thus committed a crime for which the officer could arrest him for.

The Police Forces attack protestors who are leaving protests to go home, shoot people who are standing on their porches, arrest protestors while the protestors are complying with orders, and are *trapping protestors in corners* by forming impenetrable walls and closing in on them on all sides.

Specifically at one protest, military police backed protestors into a corner, prevented them from being able to leave, and then tear gassed them and maced them while they were trapped.

The police are destroying their own property to blame it on the protestors, they are destroying shop windows, putting out bricks to try and get the protestors to use so they can respond with force, and leaving bait cars for protestors in hopes they’ll destroy them.

In one case a police officer actually posed as a protestor and started a fire, he was later identified by his ex-wife.

There are many reports of officers posing as protestors and joining the crowds to destroy things, “attack” cops, and generally cause unrest so that the police can report the protestors were being violent.

Protestors are cracking down on people who are destroying property or looting, because the protestors are there to protest peacefully, and any kind of destruction to public property completely goes against their cause. They have even in a few cases apprehended the people destroying property and given them to the police.

In recent cases, the police forces will kneel in “solidarity” with the protestors, pose for the cameras, wait for the news teams to leave, and then they attack the protestors without mercy. Macing, gassing, beating, and arresting protestors, all without cause.

There are more videos than I can even count of protestors peacefully assembling and the police forces responding violently without reason.

DC was recently the target of a supposed device that shut down internet and cellphone signals for five hours. No one knows for certain if that is specifically how it happened, but we know these things for certain:

Police forces trapped the protestors in DC

Not a single person in DC communicated with anyone for five hours, residents and protestors alike

Mass tweets that were identical in every way began being posted. One user retweeted one of these that his acc posted, saying he didn’t tweet it.

The police were power washing the streets after the fact, even though they do not clean up or even attempt to clean the streets after other protests

Many people are still missing from the protest

Something similar happened in Chicago

The police and city set a 9pm curfew at 8:40pm. Then almost immediately afterwards the police forces lifted the bridges and blocked the protestors in. Making it impossible for the protestors to leave the city. Protestors were corralled into a residential area and some residents let protestors into their houses to take refuge and to avoid arrest.

One man harbored 70 people for the night, with the police force waiting directly outside of his home. Some people reported that protestors were breaking into homes, but these reports are false.

Police forces are trampling people with police horses and running over or ramming into people with their police cars.

Police have also started firing tear gas and rubber bullets out of their cars as they drive by protestors.

Recently some police forces have been given the all clear to use real bullets. Against peaceful protestors. Who are not attacking the police.

There is footage of special ops people coming out and protesting, throwing the tear gas back at the police forces and generally providing protection for protestors. No one knows who they are, and no one should. Their identities need to be kept secret for their safety. People have named these spec ops “Tank”. Probably because the special ops people are incredibly tall, and tower over the police forces and other protestors.

Protestors have flooded snitch apps set up by police with K-Pop fan cams, of both anonymous and members of k-pop bands.

There are recordings of the police radios, where police are heard saying things like

“Shoot those motherf*ckers”

“Run them over”

And so on. I will be posting the videos of these radio transmissions in a different post.

The police forces trapped a group of protestors on a bridge in New York while the protestors attempted to peacefully march into Manhattan. The police kept them trapped there for hours, from roughly 8pm (the curfew) to 11pm when they finally allowed protestors back into Brooklyn.

Police officers that are against the excessive use of force against the peaceful protestors have begun quitting, enforcing the proven point that if some cops were good, they’d either be quitting or outspoken. A silent cop is as good as a violent one.

The national guard has been called upon in some states to assist police forces

Is there any logic in using weapons, some of which are banned in warfare, against peaceful and unarmed citizens?

There are many more things that the police force and military force have done, and things only continue to escalate as police forces increasingly use excessive force and violence against peaceful protestors. These reports I have written here are directly from protestors accounts and videos of the actual events.

In conclusion, ACAB

“At the end, we will not remember the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.” And friends let me tell you, the enemy has been bullying, mocking, laughing at their past and current transgressions—laughing at posting dead bodies, how they raped so many Armenian women and girls during the genocide, and beheading people and sending pictures of it to their families and more. But your silence is betrayal. This will go down in history books. Imagine Germany having Hitler 2.0 and recommitting the Holocaust. This is what’s happening to Armenians. And when your kids, grandkids etc ask you if you knew an Armenian, I hope you think of me. But when they ask you what you did to help, don’t lie. ✨ ✨ #recognizeartsakh #silenceisviolence (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGhAskUFfgM/?igshid=jv81ox2lxzb9

We must speak up and speak out, especially as white content creators and influencers. Something I’ve noticed is the talk about providing an “escape” from bad times on social media. Okay, I get that self-care is important. But it’s not about you. BIPOC content creators and audiences, as well as from other marginalized groups, do NOT have the same luxuries of escapism when their lives are on the line every single day. We as white creators and influencers MUST use our platforms for education, outreach, and awareness—we must not allow ourselves to be complacent. We must do the work if we want to see change, and we MUST protect the voices who are in danger. Now is not the time for cute pets or funny videos. Now is the time for action.
