Explaining How the George Floyd Uprising Was Quickly Forgotten. Top Story - January 2023.
I remember when I first heard about George Floyd's death. My partner had asked if I had heard about this new police shooting of a Black man, and I mistakenly thought he was referring to Tony McDade, a Black Trans man who was murdered two days later. I was confused by people suddenly caring about Floyd when I had already seen the videos that year of so many Black men and women killed by the police.

The Terrence Woods Story: An Untold Travesty of Racial Justice
On October 5th 2022, it was a staggering four years since American TV producer Terrence Woods allegedly disappeared while filming with the UK company, Raw TV. Woods’ co-workers claimed that he “ran down a cliff,” while on set at Penman mine in a remote part of Idaho, and apparently vanished into thin air. Aside from some attention from the Dr. Phil talk show, Vice.com, and a few local US news outlets, this story has been eerily ignored by the mainstream media. Furthermore, the limited coverage has been one-sided in its ready acceptance of Woods’ co-workers’ version of events, and its overwhelmingly colorblind approach in a case with obvious racial overtones.

YOUR MASK IS YOUR RELIGION, NOT MINE
Personally, I’ve been criticized a lot for admitting that I’m a political Anarchist because most people believe that they need a government to keep them safe. Seriously? If that’s the best argument you’ve got, then you’d better try again. In the 20th Century, more people were killed by their government than they were by the luxuries of cancer or heart disease. It’s a little thing called democide, ever hear of it?

Children kicked out of school for calling insecure oppressive president names but please visit
Last year a video went viral of a few high school girls insulting President Akufo-Addo. The girls spoke in 2 different languages, some simply insulting the size of his head. Nothing threatening, children being children, living in a country with an over 54% rate increase inflation in December 2022.
