He says, “I’m still the same person.”

Why is it whenever people correctly say that more people need to be engaged in militant tactics on the ground bc whats happening is too little are and too many are engaging with non violent tactics or social media, that the immediate response is "well not everyone is able to be involved on the ground like disabled people" there are certainly people who cannot be directly involved or leave the house without support but i dont see those posts as centering disabled people. If they were theyd be productively add on to the discussion about where to include disabled people in militant tactics? Again, we know the path forward is masses shutting down embassies, weapons factories, railroads and so on. There is no debate that this is the most effective tactic and i dont see how centering that discussion decenters disabled people. Especially since the tactic of empires like israel is too mass disable people when they revolt so we need to have these discussions

The author's poorly disguised fetish

Eryka Caldwell is a back trans woman who was murdered by her partner in her apartment last Sunday, and the story is getting a fraction of the attention that the murder of Juniper Blessing did. The police had already been called several times about her partners violence before her murder and did nothing, and she deserves the same outrage and mourning as Juniper got, and every one of our murdered trans siblings deserves. Trans women of color are more likely to be the victims of murder than any other group of queer people, and they need our solidarity, protection and support.

Her family has a gofundme, please donate to them if you can so that they can transport her back home for her funeral.

I want a sitcom about a friend group or family wherein one of the main characters is a trans woman. I want her to be the most bubbly, kind, energetic character and the show to demonstrate over the episodes that this woman is the fucking glue that holds these people together. They love each other but there’s miscommunications and difficulties expressing themselves and well-meaning ideas that turn toxic. But you have this character who has had to build herself from nothing and is paying that joy she’s cultivated outward.

I made this patch because I love being trans. It’s not always easy, but it’s a beautiful way to be.

Oury Jalloh was burned alive in a German police cell while his hands and feet were cuffed to a bed. the cops claimed he had set himself on fire but offered no evidence. No one was convicted. It took 2 more violent deaths in the same police building (Hans-Jürgen Rose, died from internal injuries from blunt force impacts, Mario Bichtemann died from a skull fracture), before one cop had to pay a fine. No cop faced real consequences.

Independent forensic tests and later expert analysis commissioned by Jalloh’s family suggest it would have been very difficult for someone bound to ignite the mattress on their own and that fire accelerants such as petrol may have been involved.

Between 2020 and 2022, thirteen EU countries reported a total of 488 deaths occurring in custody or during police operations. Despite international calls for transparent reporting on such fatalities, most European countries still do not meet UN standards for investigating these deaths, leaving persistent gaps in accountability and oversight. Inconsistencies and inadequacies in data availability further underscore the challenges in maintaining adequate transparency in law enforcement practices.

not to mention that the coastguard in europe are primarily a border patrol force and routinely watch migrants drown to death without intervening.
