It is obvious to everyone including the antis that what free people want is the state far away from their decisions about how, when, and why they make families. So much energy put into lying and political tricks in order to trap people in an abusive relationship with their fascist government.

Sometimes my partner casually shocks me with their knowledge of state murder (they hassled ID as part of the ACLU on their lethal injection processes), apparently this murder method is known to be highly unreliable.

I learned in this piece that Cornell refused to give the survivor a refund of her tuition so she could transfer to a safe school after the attack. Many people need to be named and fired or the school should be shut tf down.

why this is notable: the alpr photos show martinez and ruiz in the 30 days *before* the crash in brighton park. during that time, neither was under investigation for a crime, but police were able to retrace their movements anyway in an attempt to fabricate pretense for criminal charges.

Laquan’s killer served about three years in prison, was released in secret, and was on parole until last year. I keep searching his name, Jason Van Dyke, because I know he’s a darling of white supremacists and is being made very comfortable somewhere.

My mom faced this choice in Chicago and sent me to private school, with the urging of my much older sis who went thru CPS. While I was very supported and protected, I had to learn then navigate the racism of a monied world on my own as, often, the only Black person in the room.

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

The work Steinem + the women she collaborated with (Dolores Huerta, Dorothy Pitman Hughes, Wilma Mankiller, etc.) did was invaluable. It seems important to emphasize that collaboration cross-culturally was key to what they were able to accomplish. (It was imperfect, but that comes w/the territory)
