"I'm calling to demand the immediate dismantling of ICE for the murder of a woman in Minneapolis today and the impeachment of the President for his support of that murder" is the easiest call to my senators and representative I've ever made

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿♂️
They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside.
No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡
And people stop caring before truth hits

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

! Trans creators and activists are being targeted by the FBI. One, Tara, was told she was “propagating radical gender ideology” and “domestic terrorism.”
Rose’s analysis: the feds are targeting politically engaged trans people to find something “illegal” to “make an example out of us.”

Reposting this considering everything that’s happened the last couple days….
I’m not saying I’m above critique. But it is so telling that trans woman are constantly held to this arbitrary standard of moral perfection and if we fall beneath some persons arbitrary bar at any moment, we’re treated as if we’re horrid ppl with zero nuance or anger far above what we did.

May I kindly suggest that everyone...
1. Take a deep breath
2. Give yourself grace
3. Give others some grace too.
We're all on edge right now, and for good reason. But let's just try to not be dicks to each other, okay?

one of the people doing so is a rotten egg closet case who obsessively attacks trans women despite having a 6 figure job with Amazon & full healthcare coverage.

A lot of times, when an artist decides to throw in the towel and give up- it’s not because they lost faith in themselves or in their abilities.
It’s because they lost faith in the world. Especially in a world that doesn’t seem to value artists or real art anymore.
