Ok so, the cloud of smoke over the city is from the burning of Amazon rainforest in Rondonia. Sao Paulo is 3300km (2052 miles) distant from Porto Velho. Athens is closer to London than Sao Paulo is to Porto Velho. Just to give you an idea of the damage they are doing to the forest right now, with the permission from the human trash president. Just so you guys from other countries have an idea of what's happening here in Brazil.
If you can reblog this to make people aware of the situation, I'll be really glad.
Look they've been burning the forest it's been 15 days now and people have died already in the fires. So the least I hope that the media will actually pay attention to Rondônia and the forest now that's affect São Paulo. The media here in Brazil is trying to take the attention away from the fires saying that what covered SP today as fog because of a cold wave, but many people already said: it's not fog, it's smoke. And if you're shocked about São Paulo sky, this is Rondônia where they are burning the forest:
So yeah, they are destroying the biggest ecosystem that is the Amazon right now. And the world must know.
Because if we depend on the media, the death of the Amazon won't be televised.
Jackson County, FL — Dozens of innocent people who were rotting in jail have been freed and their charges erased after the corrupt cop who put them there was caught on his own body camera planting meth on an innocent mother. Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputy Zachary Wester has since been fired and a slew of lawsuits are now rolling in.
Wester’s fall from law enforcement grace and the 119 people who were exonerated are due largely in part to the diligence of a single person, assistant state attorney at the 14th Judicial Circuit, Christina Pumphrey.
Pumphrey’s job as assistant state attorney included reviewing evidence before moving forward with charges against individuals. When she began reviewing cases, she found something very peculiar.
“This is an exaggeration, but it felt like his (Wester’s) name was on half the cases,” Pumphrey told The Appeal. “It was seriously disproportionate.”
When Pumphrey began watching the body camera footage from Wester’s arrests, she found something even more disturbing. Many times, Wester was seen conducting illegal searches. Also, his written affidavits did not match what she watched in the videos. But that wasn’t the most telling aspect of all these videos.
While it is no question that folks will claim that drugs found on them or in their possession “aren’t their’s” and “they don’t know how that got there,” nearly all of Wester’s cases had this. The videos showed that people were utterly shocked when Wester claimed to have found drugs in their vehicles. While a single person may have been lying, when everyone reacts the exact same way, something is up.
Although she reviewed multiple videos, Pumphrey never saw the actual act of Wester planting drugs or otherwise hiding them. However, all that changed when Wester pulled over Teresa Odom in February of 2018.
In that video, Wester pulls Odom over, claiming her tail lights aren’t working. However, it would later be revealed that her tail lights were, in fact, working fine and Wester had targeted her to frame her.
In the video, Wester is extremely nice to the woman, complimenting her, joking around, and making small talk. But in the back of his mind, he knew the entire time that he was going to plant meth on her and have her thrown in a cage—an insidious move indeed.
After threatening to have a K-9 come search her car, Wester tells Odom that she can avoid the K-9 if she just lets him search her truck himself—a huge mistake.

the guy should have gotten all 119 sentences automatically

If you read the whole article, the woman who discovered this was immediately chastised by the state attorney’s office, who were furious with her for sharing the footage and bringing it up at all; she turned in her resignation soon afterwards and decided to drop her whistleblower complaint because she was afraid it would compromise her new job.
The police officer has not faced any violence beyond being fired.
Dropped charges remain on the victims’ criminal record.
“The next time someone tells you that obeying the law will keep you out of trouble with police, show them this article. A single cop had over 100 victims. ”
I want you to reblog this if you believe that two people can be very close and physically affectionate with one another, but still have a completely nonsexual, non-romantic relationship.
Even if the two people in question are capable of being sexually or romantically attracted to one another.
Because the friendship I share with someone I consider family in a way that transcends blood has been typecast as a romantic relationship ENTIRELY too many times, and I’m beginning to get sick of it.
Yeah I’ve had like a million people think that my best friend and I are dating. Like no, mate, he’s just my best friend and excuse me if I walk through the hallways at school holding his hand because he’s having a bad day (anxiety wise) or if I have my arm around his waist because he’s super light headed and hasn’t eaten anything except for lifesavers mints (it happens more often than you might think lol).
So… on Jan. 16, 2018 me and a bunch of my friends stumbled upon this post for the 17th time:
at which point, we decided we should cast the entire pantheon and come up with a working concept…
Here’s the synopsis we came up with:
“Oh, Lympus! is a sitcom set in the Olympus Estates apartment complex (stylized as ΩLYMPUS ESTATES), a regular apartment complex except most of the tenants and staff are characters from Greek mythology. Apart from this, the first floor of the complex has been retrofitted into a strip mall where all the stores are run by deities of other religions/mythologies. The show is centered around the (mis)adventures in modern times of the main pantheon of gods.”
Keeping the angle that this is meant to be in modern day, we decided to give everybody actual jobs as part of their characters
Our main cast is as follows:
Since we were inspired by the original post, we cast Michael Cera as Zeus, who’s the manager at the local Arby’s.
Tommy Wiseau as Hades, the building super who lives in the basement
Elijah Wood as Poseidon, who’s stuck working the night shift at an aquarium.
Sandra Oh as Hera, Zeus’ wife and interior designer
Whoopi Goldberg as Aphrodite, a fashion journalist at whatever ripoff name for Vogue we come up with.
Steve Carell as Ares, a short tempered personal trainer.
Snooki as Athena, who’s trying to make ends meet by tutoring.
Dylan Sprouse as Apollo, a struggling songwriter who frequently volunteers at the local hospital.
And it would be a sin if we didn’t cast twins as the twin deities, so we cast Cole Sprouse as Artemis, an archery instructor dudebro who has to crash with his twin brother.
Ina Garten as Demeter, who works a small botany shop in the middle of town.
John Mulaney as Hephaestus, an all-around handyman.
Brian Baumgartner as Hermes, the glorified mailman.
Jennette McCurdy as Hestia, the resident trust fund child/cool aunt.
Alfonso Ribeiro as Dionysus, a highly sought-after party planner.
And since we really had an insane amount of time on our hands we worked out the supporting cast too
Post Malone as Hercules, Zeus and Hera’s deadbeat kid.
Miranda Cosgrove as Herc’s girlfriend Meg.
Bo Burnham as Orpheus, a struggling musician who jams with Apollo from time to time.
Drake Bell as Prometheus, some guy who mooches of Hephaestus and bums on his couch.
Oprah Winfrey as Persephone, a housewife who’s not so thrilled that she’s stuck in the basement with Hades.
Nicolas Cage as Medusa, an artist who abducts people and turns them into statues for financial gain.
Adam Sandler as Perseus, a detective on the various missing persons cases that Medusa is responsible for.
Jon Heder as Odysseus, a flight attendant who never stays at home for very long.
Paul McCartney as Atlas, a first time offender forced to serve community service as the janitor to the complex.
Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Donald Glover as Cerberus, Hades’ dog.
Danny DeVito as Cronos, the complex’s owner/everyone’s landlord.
Shia LaBeouf as Homer, owner of The Epic! Books bookstore and close friend of Odysseus.
Hayden Christensen as Jesus, owner of Nazareth & Co. Artesanal Wines, a wine bar in the first floor strip mall.
Zooey Deschanel as Satan, owner of Hell-za Hut, a pizza place in the first floor strip mall where the only toppings you can get are pineapple and anchovies (no matter what you order).
Josh Peck as Muhammad, owner of Allah’ve Some Shwarma, a shwarma joint in the first floor strip mall. (the idea is to have his hands as the only visible part of him, since depicting Muhammad is a no-no).
Dwayne Johnson as Buddha, owner and head yogi of Path to Nirvana, a yoga studio in the first floor strip mall.
Jim Parsons as Moses, owner of Blazing Bush, a marijuana dispensary in the first floor strip mall.
Ron Perlman as Anubis, owner of Aaruuu!!!, a pet store in the first floor strip mall.
Mark Ruffalo as Thor, half-owner of Odinson’s, a half electronics repair store/half magic shop, he focuses on the electronics repair portion of the store.
Jerry Trainor as Loki, half-owner of Odinson’s with his brother Thor, he focuses on the magic shop aspect of the store.
And there you have it… the concept and ideal casting (according to us) for Oh, Lympus! This took us way longer than we’d care to admit, and somehow just as much time composing this entire post. SO. MANY. PICTURES.
