How Are Your Insides?

Here are a few photos from the Alex Nieto protest on Valencia Street, which I caught this morning. Gentrification may equal violence, but it can also equal nice paydays for existing homeowners in the Mission. It’s always good to retain a sense of ambivalence, even when you’re outraged.

LOVE this definition of feminism!

(via lipsredasroses)

I won’t lie, I love that my most popular posts are about feminism/female sexuality even though they are quotes I just really fucking liked. I won’t lie, this quote is still my definition of feminism and I do read it a lot when I notice its reblogged. My feminism is not here to make men comfortable. At the end of the day, feminism is still the only movement that focuses on women’s rights. There are a lot of problems with feminism and excluding women of color, trans women, queer women, and poor women in the mainstream/western feminist movements but those are not the only feminist movements. Women of color, queer women, trans women, and working class women have all been fighting for their rights long before white women started marching for women’s suffrage. There is a long history of women supporting other women and at the end of the day, to me that is what feminism is about. Feminism is about women and ending all opperssion women face (sexism, classism, racism, homophobia, cissexism, etc).

After His Car Broke Down On I-95, Florida Church Drummer Calls Police For Roadside Assistant, Instead Gets Shot Dead

A well-known Florida drummer, Corey Jones, who doubled as the assistant manager of the Delray Beach Housing Authority, was shot dead by a plain clothes Palm Beach Gardens police officer in an unmarked car after his car broke down on the side of the road following a music gig Sunday.

According to his bands bass player, Mathew Huntsberger, he got a call from drummer Corey Jones around 1:45 a.m. on Sunday. Jones told Huntsberger that his SUV had broken down and asked if he could help, so Huntsberger drove to find his bandmate, who was stranded north of West Palm Beach, Fla., on Interstate 95. He brought along some oil, but when that didn’t work, the two decided to look up numbers for a tow truck. Huntsberger said he called roadside assistance for his bandmate and then, about 2:30 a.m., left to head home while Jones waited for the tow truck.

About 45 minutes later, Jones was dead — shot and killed by a police officer.

Jones’s Family says that Authorities have refused to fully describe what happened during the early morning confrontation that left 31-year-old dead.

In a statement issued Monday afternoon, the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department said that officer Nouman Raja was in plainclothes in an unmarked car when he stopped to investigate what he believed to be an abandoned vehicle on an Interstate 95 exit ramp.

“As the officer exited his vehicle, he was suddenly confronted by an armed subject,” the police department said in a statement. “As a result of the confrontation, the officer discharged his firearm, resulting in the death of the subject.”

But when the police were asked what “weapon he was armed with” they failed to come up with an answer….

And when the family asked  where the body is they also didn’t have an answer…
