  Don’t let this happen to your internet

  The internet belongs to all of us. It’s an open, fair, democratic place that we’ve all helped to create, together. On February 26, the FCC is going to decide whether to leave the internet in our hands…or whether to turn it over to the cable companies.

  You don’t want them to pick the cable companies. 

  Join everybody on the internet and help the FCC do the right thing.

  This is it, guys. We’ve been been fighting this fight together for a long time now. You did a sensationally good job back in September, making 135,343 calls in a single day and shifting the political momentum back toward real internet freedom. You been pulling more and more policymakers—including the president himself—over to the side of internet freedom. We’re almost there. Let’s bring this one home.

  Net Neutrality is an incredibly complex subject, along with a misleading name. But if service providers could have their way with this, we (Americans) could and most definitely would be charged to use specific sites on the internet. Imagine being charged to use Netflix over your cable company’s bundled pay-per-view programming. Imagine being charged for using Google’s services instead of Bing’s because your service provider has an agreement with them. And then on top of that, imagine having your internet speed slowed or hastened depending on what site you use. Imagine getting a buffer cycle every 2 seconds on YouTube because of your service provider, while their own seemingly inferior video service runs magnificently in HD to boot. Imagine if large corporations could pay to have their sites to load incredibly fast while paying to slow their competitors down. Imagine the near-iron grip and stagnation this could cause for online shopping. Is Amazon could pay to literally slow their competitor’s and small/niche online businesses down. I can’t put into words how sad, or disappointed I’ll be if this passes. Please imagine how much this could change the internet as we know it. Tumblr, and many other sites saying that this could be the death of the internet’s creativity, and the internet as we know it is no lie or hyperbole. If you read this, I just ask that you take at most 2 minutes out of your life to speak out against this injustice against creativity and the free internet.

  Racial bias in America: from higher suspension rates in preschool, to disproportionate rates of capital punishment, to everything in between, structures of authority routinely allow anti-Black racial bias to color the “facts”, and warp the narrative. And frequently (whether unintentional or otherwise) the police and the media often work together to further criminalize innocent Black victims

  1. Criminalizing Blackness in America

  2. 14-year-old Tremaine McMillian attacked and choked by police, literally while holding a puppy…because McMillian made them “feel threatened” and gave them “dehumanizing stares”

  3. Author and CNN contributor keithboykin: how the AP slandered Renisha McBride even in death

  4.  The Associated Press: when can skin color alone determine who is and who isn’t a looter? (hint: don’t be Black)

  5. Lauren Davidson: Disturbing Study Proves That Cops View Black Children Differently 
  

  This implicit racial bias does not magically stop at innocuous events like the VMAs, or in »Hollywood. So far, it doesn’t ever turn off. There are two Americas and racial bias is as ubiquitous as the air we breathe

  for the folks wondering how the bastard could have possibly thought 12 year old Tamir Rice was in his 20s when he gunned him down while playing outside a community center

  Fuck the cleveland police. They never do shit

  The funny thing is this wasn’t even aggressive. the shirt literally says that there needs to be justice for these people who were unjustly killed and these pigs want an apology. For what?

  Take 5 minutes out of your morning/night to educate yourself on this young man LL. The brother was LYNCHED. “Crackertown”, North Carolina. Been gone since the morning of Aug. 29th. Day of his first football game of his senior year. All that hard work in the summer for nothin’. #JusticeForLennonLacy

  This needs more light..

  racism needs to hurry up and DIE

  http://globalgrind.com/2014/10/14/lennon-lacys-death-hanging-killed-about-list

  So he was found hanging, the morning of his first big game that he had been preparing for all year, wearing somebody else’s shoes, with his brand new shoes missing. he had a white girlfriend, openly racist neighbours, confederate flags everywhere, marks on his face indicating he was in a fight just minutes before..

  This was not a suicide, no way in hell. This was a modern day lynching.

  I hope they get answers soon. Poor boy.

  This is a fucking shame.
