THE MARCOS FAMILY SHOULD NOT RETURN TO POWER.
THIS IS AN INSULT TO THE VICTIMS OF MARTIAL LAW. THEY BLATANTLY SPREAD FAKES NEWS TO REVISE OUR COUNTRY’S HISTORY. THEY HAVE NEVER EVEN APOLOGIZED OR FACED THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE CRIMES COMMITTED DURING THEIR REGIME.
THIS IS ALSO AN INSULT TO OUR COUNTRY AND OUR COUNTRY’S FUTURE. HE HAS NO PLANS FOR THE COUNTRY ASIDE FROM “UNITY”. THE MARCOS FAMILY ARE ONLY DOING THIS FOR POWER AND SELFISH REASONS.
NEVER AGAIN. NEVER FORGET.
Also need to take into account that these stats are the documented ones. God only knows how much more lives were taken and destroyed before being kept in the dark.

I tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn’t even matter
Today, January 27, 2017, marks 72 years since the Soviet army liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp in Nazi occupied Poland. Today we remember the worst of humanity: genocide. Today we remember all the victims and survivors of the Holocaust. We remember the roughly 11 million people (1.1 at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp) who were slaughtered simply for who they were and those who were imprisoned, and sometimes killed, for what they believed.
The Nazi regime murdered an estimated 6 million Jewish people, 2 million Romani people, 250,000 mentally and physically disabled non-Jewish/non-Romani people, and 9,000 non-Jewish/non-Romani gay men all in the furtherance of white supremacy and “racial purity.”
Today we remember them all and continue to fight against fascism, totalitarianism, and white supremacy so that this never again happens.
Today, January 27, 2018, marks 73 years. Never again.
Today, January 27, 2020, marks 75 years. Never again.
To the Filipinos messaging me today over the ongoing election results (and for the foreigners to be aware of our political situation),
I feel you — this is humiliating, painful, and devastating. A legacy of dictatorship back on the seat of power, over hundreds of reported bribery and cheating cases with evidence, an election committee with their own preferred people, actors and abusers over human rights lawyers, history forgotten and rewritten.
But let’s never forget that we’re on the right side of history. My first vote was for someone with the best possible credentials and character, along with a colorful senatorial team with great campaigns.
We’ll grieve this time around, but let grief turn to anger and let anger turn to hope for a better future.
I’ll always remember how every university banded together for her; how professionals and celebrities chose her and her team. I’ll never forget the flash mobs singing peace hymns in malls, markets, and streets; the house-to-house campaigns where my friends ventured to the most unreachable places; the sports games where everyone wore pink instead of their school colors; the crowded rallies where food and water were passed around, and not a single wallet was stolen.
We turned a political campaign into a movement for change and love — and I’ll always be proud of that. We made the right choices. We did what we can. That, in itself, shows promise for our future.
For brighter futures, laban lang, Pilipinas! fighting!

The first time I ever read RIP I thought it referred to the sound a page makes when you tear it out of a book. As in well, you are being riiiiiiiipped out of the encyclopedia of existent people, and therefore, you will no longer be relevant as you’ve been riiiiiiiipped from the collective consciousness.
To a certain extent, I’m not really convinced that my thoughts were entirely incorrect, to be honest. I think the only people who don’t RIP you in this manner after you cease to live are the people who truly loved you to the extent where they cannot conceive of a reality that does not include you. They cannot riiiiiiiip you because that would mean they would be tearing a part of themselves away.
Yeah, I’m sure that’s what that means and the whole ‘Rest In Peace’ acronymization was merely retrofitted to
obfuscate the true significance.
Show this photo to your daughters as they grow up.
Show them that courage is important, even in the scariest of situations. This woman stood up and faced her fears, spoke her truth in front of a group of men while balancing the world on her shoulders. She is a hero. She is a representation for all women who are done being assaulted and abused.
I Believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford
Show it to them because our mothers didn’t show us this one:
Who is she? Anita Hill.
What’s she doing here? Testifying about the sexual misconduct of then supreme court nominee Clarence Thomas aka now the most senior justice on the Supreme Court.
Please Learn About Her
She was a professor at my alma mater!
Remember them?! Good times….
You say that like I would have forgotten…
Like they haven’t been my raison d'être for the past 8 years…
Like I haven’t been writing fanfiction about them for at least 7 of those 8 years…
