Oakland, California — This video shows two armed men attempt to get into a gas station Friday. Ahmed’s family has owned businesses in Oakland for decades. He says an employee inside saw what was happening on surveillance & fired. That’s why you see the suspects run off.
⠀
He has spent 51 years in the city and “𝘖𝘢𝘬𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥’𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 3 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺, 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘥!”
⠀
Ahmed is just one of MANY business owners who say they can’t even get insured or will be dropped because the crime is out of control.
⠀
One says there are at least “𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴…𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘋𝘈𝘠.”
⠀
OPD says they’ve seen an increase in robberies and burglaries throughout the city.

DID YOU KNOW?

Trisodium phosphate (TSP) is an industrial cleaning product used as a degreasing agent, mildew remover, and lead abating agent and to clean interior and exterior walls before painting. Because of its alkalinizing cleaning properties, TSP was used in dishwashing soap and laundry detergent until it was phased out in 2011 after the EPA found it was harmful to the environment. The Clean Water Act, published by the EPA, lists TSP as a “Hazardous Substance,” while the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends “Avoid All Contact." The CDC lists these TSP ingestion symptoms: abdominal pain, burning sensation, shock, or collapse.

If the EPA says TSP is hazardous to the environment and the CDC tells us to avoid all contact, why does the FDA allow it in our food and personal care products?

Why is TSP used in our food?
TSP is most commonly used to reduce the acidic nature of foods, especially breakfast cereals, as it modifies cereal color and aids in the cereal’s flow through the extruder. Other uses are:

Added to meat to retain moisture during storage and cooking.
Acts as a leavening agent to “fluff up” foods like cakes, breads and baked goods.
Added to cheese to help keep its shape and melting properties.
TSP is also used as an antimicrobial cleaner for washing produce. Poultry is dipped in a TSP solution to potentially kill off bacteria.

When some BLK people wanna die, it's not life they want to end, but their oppression!

"Revolution is the most dramatic appearance of a conscious people."

Walter Rodney

Betrayal isn’t capable of coming from a enemy, it is born from the trust, and vulnerability that is only reserved for those you love.
