An Arctic Fox's Diary

An artist in Baltimore wrote names of fatal victims of the police force along the sidewalk. 

She began with victims killed on May 1st of 2013 and wrote every name that was recorded until the present day.

Names stretched from Penn Station to a George Washington monument in the middle of the city, which is nearly a mile in distance.

I’m disrespected by males every day. I can be just minding my business, walking down the street and one will decide to disrespect me by catcalling.

I don’t think you can let OR prevent males from disrespecting you. That is kinda related to the idea that we can stop ourselves from experiencing patriarchy and misogyny. Which we can’t.

Further protests drew connections between the state repression of theMexican student movement in 1968 with what is happening currently. The ongoing demonstrations and clashes with the government and police have pointed to a deep seeded and growing rift between the population and those in power, making many believe that Mexico is on the brink of revolution. The response by the government has been only to declare the students officially dead and place blame on several construction workers they pegged as cartel enforcers for the students’ deaths. Many investigations and reports have disputed the governments claims as flat out lies. Non-stop organizing by the parents and supporters of the 43 have sought to gain support for the search for the students and also draw connections between aid from the United States to the Mexican state to train police forces. As one mother of a disappeared Ayotzinapa student stated:

“The government of the United States has to see that it is sending money and resources to Mexico that are being used to murder and disappear Mexican citizens.”
