The genocide in Gaza-- mass killings of Christians and Muslims that "aren't Muslim enough" by an extremist militant group.
The systematic, racialized terrorization in Ferguson in which people are being brutalized and attacked with tear gas and rubber bullets. Basic constitutional rights are being denied, and they are being treated with contempt. Now the KKK is there, and the police don't seem to be targeting them at all. The crowds are rioting and looting. A porn star was horrifically beaten by her ex-boyfriend and people are focusing on her, calling her a slut when she's been hospitalized for severe external and internal injuries because of the ex's actions And this is just some of it. This is all so unreal, that I don't really know what to do. How is this real? How can this actually be happening? How can the world still be in this state? I can't even comprehend the atrocities. I'm almost too overwhelmed to pray. All I can think it Lord, please, come soon. Wipe out the wicked, bring justice for the afflicted. Bring Peace on earth at last as you rightfully reign. Please Lord. Restore us, redeem us. I wish I was capable of more. I wish I didn't freeze in the face of this. I wish I was strong enough to know how to act, how to respond to the massive oppression based upon religion, race, and gender. But it's too overwhelming for me. I don't know what to do. Sharing on social media seems so .... trivial compared to the colossal problems. But that's what I know how to do. So I share links and hit "reblog" and "like" and "upvote." And I hate that that's all I do. All I can do is pray. Rachel Fruit and Labor
