That’s sure one way to sit in a chair lol

Gotta get quality time in where we can, right? Haha that sounds lovely honestly :)

Shortly after they began their march, a sheriff intercepted the crowd on US Highway 51, telling some leaders that they were not permitted to stop traffic. Protesters continued, though with enough speed that they were slowing, but not stopping, traffic.

That initial interaction with police was a harbinger for what was to come.

Initially, marchers intended to go to the Senatobia police station, where they planned to hold a press conference. However, after their first interaction with the sheriff, other law enforcement vehicles loomed – ostensibly to prevent them from continuing. Marchers changed their route repeatedly, weaving down unexpected streets to reach the police station.

Approaching the station from one direction, marchers faced a barricade that prevented them from continuing. Instead, they walked down main street, stopping outside of the town’s municipal court office. Workers at local businesses pressed up against the doors, looking out on the protesters.

They approached the police station from a different direction as construction workers were placing barricades barring them from reaching the building.

“It’s horrible for them to do the community like this … we got businesses locking their doors like we’re trying to harm them,” Tyesha Cox, a family friend, said. “They just need to listen to the community and let us get justice. If they feel the police did right, then why they haven’t released any footage?”

The protesters took the march through town, leaving Senatobia’s main street area, weaving near the interstate and back to the Walmart. Protesters persevered, despite temperatures nearing 90F and minimal shade. As they passed fast-food restaurants, employees exited to look on and, in some cases, cheered.

Cowards. They’d rather intimidate protesters who are protesting that a baby was shot and killed by police than release the footage.

Over a box of fucking diapers.

It’s insulting to real fucking victims and their families.

I’m not listening to your insulting drivel. I’ve already reported your post and going to do the others as well.

You’re breaking the rules by creating another account to sidestep a ban I’m sure you got for pushing this before.

Oh god this person again?

It’s appalling that they’re so insistent that people can’t die this way. It’s insulting.

Delicious.

My roommate works graveyard. I naturally wake up at 4am.

There’s been many weird catch-up conversations in the kitchen when our paths cross lol

All day, every day!

It would be great to see this in the US as well. Menstrual products are a necessity, people who have periods shouldn’t be unnecessarily taxed on something like this.

Commercial period products are used only by a minority of women in Pakistan because of their cost, according to research from Unicef. Most use cloth or homemade alternatives that can be unsafe and raise the risk of infection.

Two lawyers, 25-year-old Mahnoor Omer and 29-year-old Ahsan Jehangir Khan, brought a court case last year in a bid to get sanitary products zero-rated, so that they would not be subject to taxes of any kind. They said the charges amounted to a “pink tax” on women.

Their campaign was hugely successful on social media and a supportive petition attracted thousands of signatures.

Locally made period products incur the 18% sales tax in Pakistan, and imported products are subject to an additional 25% customs tax.

UN Women said the decision to abolish the sales tax was a welcome step that would help women stay in work and girls stay in school. It said: “Menstrual health is a matter of health, dignity and equality – not a luxury.”

Amazing news! I can’t imagine having to miss so much work and school every month just because of the lack of access to menstrual products.

Will they bite out and eat only your liver as well?

Yep, that’s what I was implying. Executive dysfunction is not exclusive to ADHD either.

Ah I see you also have ADHD and executive dysfunction :D
