the us-juarez border is closed! this is really bad bcs there are so many ppl stuck here in el paso who cannot get home bcs trump closed the border. he closed the border because refugees are trying to come here for asylum. he sent the military there to stop refugees fleeing from guatemala and hondoras! and like they’re fleeing bcs of violence. this is ridiculous.
and now there are so many ppl on the us side of the border who cannot go home. my friend has to stay with some ppl over here bcs she literally cannot go home.
children cross alone every day to go to hs and to middle school and now they are stuck. they are split from their parents and have no where to stay.
what the hell is trump thinking! i am really hoping that my school and schools/churches around do something to allow children to stay.
I just wanna add that this means -thousands- of people are stuck on either side. Kids and parents are separated again, at one of the biggest points of entry in the country. This is really fucked up.
Also, the Facebook page Xicanisma has posted a bit about this. I would trust them with updates about everything if you’re not from El Paso and want to stay informed:

Six out of ten South American countries are currently controlled by the right wing. Let that sink in. Six out of ten. Fascists are having the time of their lives, and what’s happening in Brazil comes to validate their hate speech, homophobia, racism and misogyny. Six out of ten South American presidents think violence is the answer to all the problems we have over here. Violence in the form of dictatorships.
In case you didn’t know: we have a history with military dictatorships over here, and ALL of us are still living under their repercussions. People were kidnapped, tortured and killed just for opposing these regimes, and their families still don’t have the chance to give them a proper burial. And entire countries are being ruled with constitutions made under these periods.
It’s fucking scary, because this whole thing is coming back. But this is why it’s important to get involved and actually do something if we’re against what’s happening right now. Get informed. Find out ways you can help in your communities. And RESIST. I know it feels horrible, but you are not alone. The rest of the continent is with you. And we won’t let them win.
It’s important to note that every single one of those dictatorships we still haven’t recovered from yet, were engineered/supported by the United States.
Yes. It all started when Latin America started promoting developing policies connected to the left wing. The US got really scared with the Cuban Revolution and its repercussions, so they started to financiate a few military groups.
The US even gave chilean economy students scholarships at the Chicago University in the 50s and 60s, just so they would learn everything about Milton Friedman’s neoliberalism. Those students, then known as the “chicago boys”, went back to Chile and helped to build an economical plan for their countries dictatorship, ruled by Pinochet.
Although we have more evidences about it happening in Chile, it happened in all of South America. Most countries were under a violent dictatorship for around 20 years.
Man found the stoplight cameras were activated during yellow lights and decided to cut the wires of it.
Florida Man: Chaotic evil.
New York Man: Chaotic good.Holy shit. Nah dude look up the entire story, it’s INSANE.
The dude got arrested once before this for using a painter’s extension rod to point the stoplight cameras into the sky instead of cutting the wires. He didn’t cut the wires until AFTER he got out after being arrested the first time–which he did after posting facebook videos that prove that the stoplights are intentionally rigged to trick drivers into citations–the yellow lights at intersections with cameras only last THREE SECONDS, as opposed to the five seconds they last at other stoplights without cameras in the same county.
When he cut the camera cords, he reported his deeds to the news -himself,- and then politicians pressured the local police force into arresting him. The local police and sheriff deputies actually SUPPORT him for his actions because the lights have been killing innocent people! During his most recent arrest, one of the Sheriff’s Deputies actually -offered to bail him out-.
When he got home again after these incidents, there was a surveillance camera planted at his house BY THE GOVERNMENT to watch him! His reaction to being surveilled? He painted over the camera in America’s flat out fucking ballsiest “fuck you” to the gubmint I’ve ever heard of.
And it gets EVEN CRAZIER. After painting over the camera, suddenly this guy–his name is Stephen Ruth by the way–started GETTING ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE. He reports that a car intentionally tried to hit him in a head-on collision, and after talking about the car to his neighbors, they confirmed that the car in question (Or at least, one that was visibly identical, its occupants included) had been staking out his house! Somebody was legitimately trying to MURDER HIM over his discovery and his actions!
As a final insult to injury, Ruth pointed out that the VAST majority of the cameras were found SPECIFICALLY in lower-to-middle-class neighborhoods. As well, the victims of these rigged stoplights tried to go to the local news station to talk about the deaths of their family members that occurred from the rigging. Aaaand… The local station, “News12″, never aired their interviews.
Remember how I said that, after cutting the cables and calling the local news station, Ruth was arrested because of pressure from politicians? Get this: News12 is actually owned by CableVision, who PROVIDES INTERNET SERVICE TO THE CAMERAS.
Whereas mister Ruth was only trying to help people and save lives, he’s been caught up in a full-blown fucking government conspiracy that’s out for his blood. This guy isn’t Robin Hood, he makes Robin Hood look like a -CHUMP-.
Please help me prove a point. Reblog this if you love Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor.
WHO DOESN’T?!
Trump blames Synagogue shooting on the Synagogue for not having “better protection”. You know, instead of the white supremacist shooter who yelled “All Jews must die!” with an assault weapon and killed jewish people.
Lets not forget last year he called the nazis in Charlottesville “very fine people”.
Looking after his own kind.

Fucking vote. Go out and vote.
This is absolutely disgusting and horrifying. Try your absolute best to vote and please protect Jewish people.
Here’s a list of Jewish-specific mental health resources, because I know how taxing this is on us.
your intelligence means fucking nothing if youre devoid of empathy
empathy is not compassion and people with empathy are not superior to those of us with low/no empathy
Me to my skin: we’re adults now, let’s act like it.
