She also wrote their names in the sand with her blood, went on to identify them and have them arrested for what they did to her. She's not just a survivor. She's a literal warrior.
New York-founded @ASPCA's original logo was a guardian angel intervening to save a horse from being beat by a slaver who forced horses to pull carriages through NYC.
160 years later & hundreds of NYC horses are STILL waiting for THEIR guardian angel.
#RydersLaw will bring them!
Deniz was 16. He was used to pull carriages around central park so his human could make money. All day, every day. Deniz collapsed and died on the pavement in the park yesterday. Yet another in a long of these horses to die in NYC so people can exploit them. This practice should be outlawed. It’s selfish and unnecessary.
RIP Deniz. I’m sorry humans failed you ♥️
Tonight, a carriage horse collapsed and died in Central Park. We do not yet know this horse’s name, age, history, or what caused their death — but we do know this: no horse should spend their life pulling a carriage through the streets of Manhattan.
We have seen this before. Ryder. Lady. Aisha. Charlie. Smoothie. And now another horse whose life ended on the pavement.
This moment demands more than outrage. It demands action. On Thursday, the City Council will reintroduce Ryder’s Law — legislation to finally transition New York City away from horse carriages and retire the horses to sanctuaries.
That future will include the workers, too. Carriage drivers deserve a real transition plan with stable jobs, protections, and benefits — and we are ready to work with TWU and all stakeholders to make that happen.
But doing nothing is not an option. Another horse is dead on the streets of New York City.
For the horses. For the workers. For New York City.
Pass Ryder’s Law.

to the women who built the WNBA:
the gay athletes who were forced to
hide
pretend
and shrink themselves so this league could survive
your quiet courage became the foundation of something bigger than sport. you are the blueprint every league aspires to follow.
Happy pride 💗
Animals are the real victims on Earth. They didn't do anything wrong. They didn't try to destroy humans or our homes. Their only crime is that they exist.
still makes me incredibly angry how everyone just moved on from this horrific murder. he was physically mentally sexually tortured for a month by a group of çiş ppl +a çişqueer woman amongst them absolutely sickening. one of the most violent trans murders evr and no one cared
