most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

Relieved to be writing again, but boy did I wait till I was sinking to the edge of depression to do it. Need to shape up, so many lives depend on me…

Kudos to Dinaw Mengestu for trying to build support for Palestinian speech within Pen America and then resigning after the organization recently published a post from Zionist writers claiming "professional challenges" due to their support a genocidal ethno-supremacist apartheid state. Gift link.

I do not know what to say to this. What do you say to this information portrayed in these exact words?

Chicagoans came to the Broadview ICE facility to hold a funeral procession for the 118 people who have died at the hands of federal immigration enforcement since 2018. This comes after 52-year-old father Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was fatally shot by ICE agents on Tuesday morning.

if your partner is financially reliant on you that doesnt give you a greater say in how they live. if leaving you would mean their destitution you hold a tremendous amount of coercive power. how are you using it?

poetry has been declared dead so many times, but so long as there are still people reading for meaning—and music!—as opposed to mere information, i will continue. and honestly, i would continue to read and write poetry anyway, out of just my own personal hunger.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

"The practical effect is simple. How a person was labelled at birth can override the legal, social and physical reality of their adult life. You are male because we say you are male. That is a nightmare I do not want any of my sisters to face." A powerful read. #auslaw #nswpol #trans

In rape culture, everything a woman says means yes and nothing she says means no. This seems to assert that though she said not to come over, said no repeatedly, struggled against Platner, an ambiguous prior comment constituted irrevocable consent. Not a shocking breach not to include it.

Racists online saw this photo, doxxed her, and found out she had a previous arrest (the charge later being dismissed). Meanwhile she is a mentally disabled working mom minding her business. If someone can put me in contact, I’m happy to offer her a housing relief stipend thurmanperryfoundation.org
