Just learned that Raymond Gureme's family was targeted by French policemen in a racist attack two weeks ago.

For context, Raymond Gureme was a survivor of the Romani genocide. He was detained in several Romani internment camps in France starting from the age of 15yo with his family, escaped twice, was deported to a labor camp in Germany, escaped again and joined the French resistance at the mere age of 17yo. He was a very active member of the Resistance, killing Nazis and marching alongside De Gaulle on the day Paris was liberated.

Like most survivors of the Romani genocide and many Romani resistance fighters, Raymond never received any medals of honour for his involvement with the resistance. He and his family never received any form of financial compensation nor was it ever acknowledged that they had been targeted for genocide. 10 years ago, Raymond, in his 80s, was beaten up by French policemen in his own trailer for no other reason than his being Romani.

Two weeks ago his family was held at gunpoint by French policemen who broke into their trailers, destroyed valuables and property and called in several police cars and police helicopters to arrest one single person. This level of violence was completely uncalled for and is clearly an act of intimidation on the part of French cops.

Raymond Gureme is the most emblematic figure of the Romani resistance during World War II and one of the most important figures of the Romani rights movement in postwar western Europe. His family is passing around a petition to meet the region's prefect and ask for justice

i have this sort of weird 'true timeline' au for an alternate ending to the umbrella academy. feel free to ask about this i am open to yapping.

it's basically just taking the canon ending and this comic by @/twobraincells-art and sort of creating an au in the actual original timeline where everything was okay.

seeing as in the canon ending you see lila's family, claire, and diego and lila's kids, it makes me think that yes, the rest of the hargreeves all exist in this 'correct' timeline, but we don't see them on screen.

the best way i can explain this is with the cliche of 'oh it was all a dream', but in actuality i think it's more 'they woke up in the right timeline and everything was okay again'. they react pretty similarly to lila when she gets back home after spending seven years in the subway with five. just. unexplained sobbing/clinging to family.

luther has sloane again and they live in the academy building, except now it's properly renovated into a family home. they eventually have a daughter. her name is luna.

diego and lila find themselves happy with each other, happy with their children. grace is nearly ten now. the twins (noah and coco) are nearly seven. they're happy in their little family bubble.

allison's back with ray, and they're so in love it's like he never left. claire loves her stepdad as if he were her actual father. the three of them are happy. they desperately want a child together, but allison's hesitant. ray suggests they adopt. that's how they welcome damien into the family.

klaus gets sober. it's not like last time. he didn't need the harrowing experience of realising his mortality to push him to put in the effort. he's got a support system now. and he was so, so proud to get that one day chip. he struggles, obviously. but he's got good people, and he knew now he had a shoulder to cry on whenever he needed it. allison was there for him. claire watched movies with him in his (no longer bubble-wrapped) room, and damien asked a million questions. ray's practically his brother. and through a series of events he'd rather not actively think about, he finds happiness with them. and charlotte. god, he'd give that little girl the world and more.

five manages. he spends some time at viktor's, then luther's, and there's that period of time where he was ben's roommate until his brother moved out with jennifer. he gets by. finds work at a diner, then he works with a guy eerily similar to elliott. it's nice. he can finally relax.

nobody really knows where ben went. he was still with jennifer, but nobody's talked to either of them in years, and maybe that's for the best.

viktor goes back to his bar. he meets rosaline there. she moves in with him at his offering when he finds out she's being evicted. he meets her kid, frances. they're great. viktor propose to rosa on her birthday. she says yes.

they don't see each other much over the four years they've been apart since the cleanse disaster. the next celebration to bring them together is grace's tenth birthday and then christmas. but who knows how that'll go.
