Decent newsfeed (take everything with a grain of salt though; some stories reported don’t match what those on the ground are saying)
LIVESTREAM 1 (patchy, but still going)
LIVESTREAM from Vice News (Tim was legit one of the best livestreamers during the first few weeks of the ferguson uprising)
Blavity’s 10 Twitter users on the ground in Baltimore
iwriteaboutfeminism‘s BLM twitter list (solid!)
And of course, following the tags on twitter (baltimore, baltimore riots, etc)

it’s always funny to me that whites can sit in their little history classes and learn about the civil rights movement and be like “wow these people were so brave! the police and other white people were so evil back then :(” but then sit here today and call the baltimore protesters or the ferguson protesters “animals” for doing literally the same thing. Like you are the “racist white people” now. You are the the ones you deny affiliation with while reading those lessons. whites are so good at detaching themselves from their own white supremacy and erasing their crimes.
Freddie Gray had his spine severed by white cops. they literally beat this man to death but you want black people to peacefully protest? like are you serious? but when white peoples favorite sports team loses its okay for them to riot its alright for a bunch of sweaty white rednecks to riot over a bunch of guys throwing balls around for 3 hours but black people are wild animals when we riot for justice or yknow shit that actually matters
Omg
Crying.
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. This is it. I found it.
I’m dead.
