  • “In Louisiana, black women were put in cells with male prisoners and some became pregnant. In 1848, legislators passed a new law declaring that all children born in the penitentiary of African American parents serving life sentences would be property of the state. The women would raise the kids until the age of ten, at which point the penitentiary would place an ad in the newspaper. Thirty days later, the children would be auctioned off on the courthouse steps 'cash on delivery.' The proceeds were used to fund schools for white children. . . many of [the black children] were purchased by prison officials.” Source: American Prison: A Reporter's Undercover Journey into the Business of Punishment by Shane Bauer H/T Sharon Morgan

  • I was at Dam square an hour ago. It was almost empty and now the Dam is rocking!!! This is a very irresponsible way to show your reaction and attend a mass gathering in the middle of a serious pandemic. Many Covid patients are still dying and sick while many other patients such as cancer patients are waiting for to be operated and get required care. Covid 19 is not yet over how can you get out and attend a mass protest? The children cannot yet go to school and many shops are closed and bankrupted due to Corona. Because of lack of tourism and cut in demand economies around the world are collapsing which is effecting many lives yet you go out to protest! Yes what happened in the USA is terrible and people are showing their reactions all around the world but violence and reckless behavior cannot be the solution. I know many elderly and sick people suffered a terrible death due to Corona. It is a real disease. It is no joke. Conspiracy or not Corona does kill people and now you will be responsible from the death of many innocent lives! Be proud of yourselves! #proest #dam #amsterdam #covid19 #covid_19 #covid #pandemic #georgefloyd #police

  • Generally lion cubs born in captivity are removed from their mothers when they are between 3 and 10 days old and are misleadingly passed off as ‘orphans’ or ‘rescues’. This practice forces the females back into intense breeding cycles where they can give birth up to 4 times faster than lionesses in the wild.� Watch “The Life Cycle of a Captive Bred Lion” from our partners at @BloodLionsOfficial by clicking the link in our bio.⁠ #RacingExtinction #OPSociety #BloodLions #CubPetting #walkingwithlions

  • A former Minneapolis police officer has been arrested and charged with murder following the death of an unarmed black man in custody. Derek Chauvin, who is white, was shown in footage kneeling on 46-year-old George Floyd's neck on Monday. He and three other officers have been sacked. Days of looting and arson in the Minnesota city have boiled over into nationwide protests. The case has reignited US anger over police killings of black Americans. What did the prosecutor say? Hennepin County Prosecutor Mike Freeman said Mr Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. He said he anticipates charges for the three other officers but would not offer more details. According to the criminal complaint, Mr Chauvin acted with a depraved mind, without regard for human life. #minneapolis #georgefloyd #protests
