Baltimore police sexual violence is often investigated & disregarded by the system. Despite other reforms, serial sexual assault was just legalized. Survivors are ignored. #SB43 #MDGA21 #policeaccountability #DOJ

Devastated. MD close to legalizing serial #sexualassault by police officers. #Sexworkers always 1st to be thrown under the bus, but this is HATEFUL. The anti-sex worker lobby silenced survivors & legitimize violence against us @PowerInsideBalt #MDGA21 #PoliceReform @baltimoresun

@NBCNews @jemillerwbal Who was thinking about these women the day before they were murdered at the #atlantaspa?

Most likely, RA Long has perpetrated hate violence many times before & #SheriffFrankReynolds @CherokeeSO has minimized violence against WOC & sex workers before. This is a global dynamic.

"While it is not clear that these women were participating in erotic labor, the assailant made his intentions and beliefs about them explicit." @swopbehindbars

@Reuters We truly are a gaslit nation.

@NARAL If you want to use your platform to stop the violence, pull support for Maryland #MDGA #SB43 - NARAL is advocating for the legalization of sexual assault of sex workers by police. The women killed in ATL likely were already victims of police and client violence before now.

Can our white supremacist, over-criminalizing brains not grasp #intersectionality? A mass shooting against Asian women is a misogynist #HateCrime. Gender bias, racial bias & #criminalization of #sexwork allows violence against WOC @CherokeeSO

[Jacqueline Robarge @j_robarge]

@BaltimoreBrew @baltimoresun I wouldn't be surprised. Sex workers of color being murdered is no biggie in Baltimore. Besides, according to the sheriff it was just a "bad day" and a consequence of a "sex addiction" not a targeted hate-based mass shooting.

[DSA @DemSocialists]

The Cherokee County sheriff said the Atlanta spa shooter killed 8 people, 6 of them Asian women, because "it was a really bad day for him," and that's it's not about race. This is what white supremacy looks like. #StopAsianHate #StopAAPIHate

[D. Stew @DsCrash254]

@MiaRSato This is a picture of the Cherokee County Sheriff dept. No wonder they can't bring themselves to say the killer is racist, but choose instead to offer up excuses about how he must have had a ' bad day'

[Jacqueline Robarge @j_robarge]

@sugarjacq That's despicable. How quickly their lexicon no longer includes hate, heinous, cold-blooded, targeted, public enemy, heartless, animal, etc. to describe a white mass shooter. Bad day.

[Jacqueline Robarge @j_robarge]

@sugarjacq Exactly!

[Jacqueline Robarge @j_robarge]

Lack of #intersectionality kills: Six Asian women of eight murdered at massage parlor but @cherokeeso #SheriffFrankReynolds thinks "sex addiction" and not racial- & gender-hate is to blame.

[Power Inside @PowerInsideBalt]

Deep empathy to coworkers, friends & family of victims, & to #sexworkers & parlor workers. We're complicit w individual acts of violence if we don't see them as structural. #criminalization #intersectionality #WhiteSupremacy #misogyny #racism #xenophobia https://t.co/CJ6VxTaJom

Please pass #HB411 with NO amendments. Sexual misconduct is a civil rights violation by federal law. #SB43 assumes prior sex is current consent. There's no such thing as official sex, there should be no exception. #MDGA21 #MDPolitics @JheanelleW @LCharkoudian

Please pass #HB411 with NO amendments. Sexual misconduct is a civil rights violation by federal law. #SB43 Blames the victim before there's even an arrest.

"The county has yet to clearly articulate how the government’s right to privacy outweighs the public’s right to know about alleged misconduct by taxpayer-funded institutions and officials."

Another reason why we need to reform the MPIA. #mdga21 https://t.co/5Tp68QmoX1
