A jury in Columbia, South Carolina, tonight acquitted a former gas station owner of murder for fatally shooting a teenage boy he chased after falsely accusing him of shoplifting. The boy had a gun, but prosecutors say he never displayed it before he was shot.
This country is so fucking deranged. Even if he stole water bottles, that’s not reason for a death sentence. But the fact that he didn’t and they chased him down to kill him, and got away with it is so evil.
“During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.” – Dan Savage
“This is not what we’re here for.” So what the fuck are you there for, lady? There’s people being held in a concentration camp, and your main focus is policing the behavior of other protesters?
Vean como se ve la lucha popular de los pueblos indígenas de Bolivia, que han llenado de barricadas el pais para proteger sus recursos naturales y evitar que el régimen de Rodrigo Paz los entregue a Trump y a EEUU.
Por lo que sea, esta lucha del pueblo boliviano no la enseñan en TV, vaya a ser que tomen ejemplo en otros países y luchen por el futuro de su tierra, expulsando a la lacra imperialista y fascista del pais.
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
