Okay, but can we talk about the development of the atlantic blue marlin for second?
WOW
Water saturated with methane burns
The high amount of methane in the fracking fluid pollutes our aquifers. It then runs through our drinking supply, showers, and many other water related things. People drink this.
Flint’s water pollution is only a top of the iceberg, and only because thousands people were screening about this. Here you can see that the roots of the ecologic problem go much deeper. #Hate it!
This needs to go viral!

What happens once you kill yourself? Because I'm ready to go.
You wanna know what happens once you kill yourself? Your mother comes home from work and finds her baby dead and she screams and runs over to you and tries to get you to wake up but you won’t and she keeps screaming and shaking you and her tears are dripping onto your face and your dad hears all the screaming and runs into the room and he can’t even speak because the child that he loved and the child that he watched grow up is gone forever and finally your little sister runs into the room to see what all the fuss is about and she sees you dead. The person she looked up to and loved. The person she bragged about to her friends, the person she wanted to be just like when she grew up, the person that made her feel safe. But she’s never really going to get to grow up and smile and laugh and love because she’ll always be consumed with this feeling of missing you. And now there’s something missing from your family and they can barely look at each other anymore because everything reminds them of you but you’re gone and hurts more than anything. and you think that your mom never cared because she was always busy and yelling at you to finish your homework and clean your room and forgot to say I love you sometimes but really, she loved you more than anything and she doesn’t leave the house anymore, she can’t even get out of bed and she’s getting thinner and thinner because it’s too hard to eat. Your father had to quit his job and he doesn’t sleep anymore, every time he closes his eyes he sees his baby dead, and the image never goes away no matter how much alcohol he drinks. And at school your best friend sees that your seat is empty and she gets this sick feeling in her stomach and that’s when she hears the announcement. You killed yourself. And suddenly she’s screaming and crying in the middle of class and no one even bothers comforting because they’re all busy sitting there staring at your empty seat with tears dripping down their cheeks and all she wants is for you to hug her and tell her it’s gonna be okay like you always did, but this time, you’re not there to do it, everything is dark now that you’re gone and her grades are slipping, she barely goes to school anymore and she ended up in hospital after taking too many pills because she wanted to see you again. the girls who used to make fun of the way you dressed feel their throats get tight, they don’t talk to each other anymore, they don’t talk to anyone, they’re all in therapy trying so hard not to blame themselves but nothing works. and your teacher who always gave you a hard time stares blankly at the wall, she quits her job a few days later. And then your boyfriend hears the news and he can’t breathe, he still calls you a lot just to hear your voice and he talks to you on facebook but you never message him back, he can’t fall in love again because every girl he meets reminds him of you, he’s never going to get over you, he loved you and he cries himself to sleep every night, hating himself and slicing his skin because he couldn’t save you and he’s never going to hold you in his arms or hear you laugh again. Now everyone who knew you, whether they were a big part of your life or someone you passed in the hallway a few times a week, they carry this aching feeling around inside them because you’re gone, and they miss you, and they don’t know why you left but it must’ve been their fault and they should’ve stopped you and they should’ve told you they loved you more and that feeling is never going to go away. And so you killed yourself
but you killed everyone else around you too.
Breaking NEWS! NY cop allegedly savaged innocent Black youth
Surveillance video has been recently released and clearly showed that a cop assaulted innocent Black man for his appearance. The victim, 23-year-old Anthony Brown, was brutalized by Sgt. James Nowak from NYPD.
Brownsville, NYC never had a reputation of the low crime rate area, but it’s not an excuse to beat Brown so severely right on the Blake Ave at 10:34 p.m. for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Police brutality at its finest.
Another proof that the police don’t give a damn about Black people, secretly attacking them at night JUST FOR FUN. Luckily, the cop was caught on camera and NOW it’s OUR DUTY to make him receive the punishment he deserves.

Please Donate to This Little Black Girl Hit By A Car
Her father writes:
”My daughters been fighting for her life since she was struck by a car while playing in our front yard with her brother. A speeding car in our neighborhood apparently lost control and ran onto our lawn, striking my baby before she, her, brother nor I had a chance to react. Shes been fighting over 2 weeks and her prognosis isn’t positive. She still has not yet regained full consciousness. We are asking anyone who can help us to please do so. The expenses are astronomical and we have a $2500.00 deductible to satisfy before our health insurance even begins to cover their portion. This unforeseen tragedy has affected us greatly. As a single father of an 11 y/o son and 5 y/o daughter I am doing all I know to do to help my baby get the treatment she needs. i have not been able to find their mother to inform her and ask her assistance as she cut off contact when i was awarded custody of our babies. Billing statements have already started to flood my mailbox and between those and the time I’ve missed at work to be by her side, our family us in crisis. I don’t know where else to turn. Please help if you can and pray my baby will beat the odds and make a recovery. Every little bit counts. Thank you.”

22-Year-Old Black Woman Dies in Custody
Symone Nicole Marshall, a 22-year-old mother of a 3-year-old girl, died in custody on Tuesday, May 10.
According to Marshall’s family she was in a serious car accident on April, where her car rolled over multiple times.
However, she wasn’t taken to the hospital. Instead the police took her to the Walker County Jail in Huntsville, Texas.
Symone’s sister, Honey, said:
“When I talked to her from jail, she complained that her head was hurting and she kept blacking out. I called the jail several times and requested for them to take her to a real hospital and they wouldn’t do so. If they would have this, her death could have been prevented and my sister would still be here. My heart hurts so bad. She was my best friend. I am so angry that they did this to her. She moved to Texas for a fresh start in life a few months ago. She was doing good down there, had a job and was about to buy a house. She’s a beautiful person, never been in trouble before and didn’t deserve this.”
Texas police and Walker County jail officials refused to comment or release information about the accident.
Marshall’s family hasn’t been able to get details from officials either.
Natasha McKenna, Sandra Bland, Gynnya McMillen and now Symone Marshall. We can’t take this anymore…We want justice!

A rally in loving memory of Aiyana Jones, a girl shot by the cop while she slept on a couch during a botched raid.
Aiyana Jones is another black baby murdered at the hands of the Detroit police.
May 16 will mark the sixth anniversary of the brutal slaying of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones by Detroit Police Officer Joe Weekley. She was shot by the cop while she slept on a couch during a botched raid. The killer is still employed by the Detroit Police Department. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter and two lesser charges in her death, but the case was dropped in January 2015.
Justice hasn’t been served for Aiyana and her grieving family.
We’re planning a peaceful rally in front of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center on May 21 to honor the memory of Aiyana and other victims of police violence and demand demilitarization of police.
We need to drag attention of the Media and the authorities so that we could bring peace to our community and to the families of innocent people killed by police. Police officers must be held accountable for their actions. This rally might be the one that will change something in this rotten system.

Rest in Peace Alim Rahim
An old childhood friend of mine was brutally murdered this past Mother’s Day in Largo, Maryland. There have been reports that Alim was shot 10 times and twice in the head. Alim and I hadn’t talked much as adults but I was sincerely rooting for him and wishing him the best. We lived completely different lives and we were so different but that time I saw him in Burger King a couple years after high school graduation and we were talking about his music and his goals. He still reminded me of the kid I knew back in elementary school. I always knew Alim had a strong heart and a sharp mind, even back in our High Bridge Elementary School days. I’m probably rambling, I’m sorry. I will hold on to the memories of us riding bikes all day during the summer and playing video games at your house up the street. I’m so sorry a coward has stolen your life from you Alim, please rest in peace and watch over your friends and family.
If anyone knows ANYTHING about this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call 1-866-411-8477 (TIPS) You will remain anonymous.
Please boost this, Alim’s friends and family are hurting so much right now.
Noela Rukundo was marked for death even more than the average Australian. As she was visiting family in Burundi, Africa, she found out that her husband back in Australia had hired some local men to “take care of her.” Fortunately for Noela, it turned out to be the most inspiring case of attempted murder we’ve ever come across.
The hitmen kidnapped Noela and took her to a safe, quiet location … so they could get to know her better. Amazingly, that isn’t a euphemism. These were either the softest hitmen in history or Noela was one hell of a gal, because after two days of captivity (to make her seem suitably disappeared) and a stern lecture about her choice in men, Noela was released. The hitmen did give her an 80-hour time limit to leave the country, but it was for her safety – the gang suspected that Noela’s husband might have hired other assassins, and they might not be as gentle.

My 16 year old cousin Kiera has gone missing. She left her home in Spokane, WA where she lives with her grandparents around 4:00pm on Sunday, May 1st, saying she was going to go on a walk. She brought with her her favorite stuffed animal and a blanket which her grandmother found strange, but Kiera said she wanted to show them to a friend and would be back in 30 minutes. Her grandmother had a bad feeling and tracked the GPS on her phone to find that she was 4 miles away 10 minutes after she left making it extremely likely she got in someone’s car.
More information has been found and it is known that Kiera left her grandparents a letter that stated “By the time you read this, I will probably be dead. If not, I will be heading south.” No other information about her whereabouts was included in the letter, but she also kept a diary in which she wrote in there “I must to go as casually as possible, get into the car as quickly as I can, don’t make a scene, definitely drive, don’t fly” which makes it very likely that this is something much more serious than a teen running away from home. She has an cognitive disability (I apologize if that is not the correct wording) which hinders her decision-making skills and makes her a much easier target to be preyed on as such.
The main suspect of who picked her up is the man in the bottom photo, Zachary Wayne Jones, who she likely met online in a chat forum as she spent a lot of time on sites such as deviantArt, furAffinity, and other gaming/chatroom sites and was coached into letting him pick her up. The police are currently doing everything that they can to investigate the case so that we can get Kiera back home but please, please keep an eye out.
Kiera is 17 years old, 5′ 3″, 110 lbs with long dark brown hair. She has thick rimmed glasses and a BRIGHT GREEN CAST on her arm from a roller skating accident, and was last seen wearing a gray hoodie and blue jeans. The suspect Zachary Wayne Jones is 30-year-old man with blond hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and 118 lbs. They may be traveling in a 1997 blue Acura with Virginia license plate VGD6867.
If anyone sees either of these two, PLEASE report it to the police immediately!!! And please share this post!!!! Our family is terribly worried about Kiera and we want to get her home as quickly and as safely as possible. Thank you!!!
Elliot Earl Williams is a 37-year-old Army veteran with a history of mental illness. As you know, nearly half of people returning from hot zones have mental illnesses such as PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) or TBI (traumatic brain injury) and shouldn’t be blamed. He was arrested in the hotel for having a mental breakdown.
He needed immediate mental health care!
Instead, he was given nothing but disgust. He was left naked in the cell for days unable to eat, drink and even move, until he was pronounced dead. He was treaded like an animal! Luckily, there was a camera in the cell and you can see everything by yourself.
This horrible attitude towards Black veteran is an outrage.
The media keep silent but we will not!
