How did we end up here.

remember: everyone around you crowdfunding for money is a victim of fucking baby boomers, politicians, and rich folks swindling that money away from us.

Giving to people in need in these times is one of the only things you can do that actually makes a difference anymore.

Somalia and neighboring countries do not face a famine every year. This famine is completely preventable but outside intervention is needed because the Somalian gov't itself is denying there is a pending crisis, presumably so they can focus working with the Trump administration on war

@Akatookey In my country, under Duterte, we have senselessly killed 1000s in the guise of a drug war, mostly poor people. Please share this so everyone knows our shame

This 4/20, pls think about the government admitting the war on drugs was smokescreened racism and kept doing it anyway. Think about how in the states where it is legalized, black people still face so many roadblocks in selling it that white people don't.

Weed is good but it's also wrapped up in racism!
