femme-tranquille

Of the 1,864 women murdered in 2010, 91% were killed by men. (by contrast, of the 3,872 men murdered, only 9% were killed by women). Of all the women murdered (by either sex), over a third were killed by a husband or boyfriend. women have legitimate reason to fear men, even the ones they know. 

Of the 3,327 white people murdered in 2010, only 13% were killed by black people. 3% were killed by other or unknown races. white people do not have a statistically legitimate reason to fear other races.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, this twitter account is posting the names and photos (when available) of refugees turned away from America who became victims of Naziism. #NoBanNoWall #RefugeesWelcome 

Trump has been president for literally 4 days and he’s already settling us into our new authoritarian regime. A few updates in case anyone hadn’t been keeping up:

At least twice now he or a member of his staff have made completely false claims that have been proven wrong already and offered no evidence to support what they were saying, then refused to take questions about it

Kellyanne Conway called their lies “alternative facts”

Trump has decided that he will choose which members of the press are allowed at his press conferences

He pulled a full Kim Jong-un and made his inauguration day a holiday (of patriotic devotion, as though 4th of July doesn’t exist ????)

He’s passed 6 executive orders so far and has stated his plan to add at least 2 more in the coming days which, among other things, will strip away healthcare from people, restart construction on the Keystone Pipeline and the DAPL, restrict foreign aid to anywhere abortions might be done, put a stop on refugees from Muslim countries entering the United States, and start building the Wall™

And if that weren’t all scary enough, at least six journalists are facing felony charges, 10 years in prison, and $25,000 fines for reporting on the unrest surrounding his inauguration. Felony charges. For covering an event he didn’t like.
