You are running cover for your party thinking trans women are men and we don’t deserve decency. You ask for specific forms of harassment because pointing out large events dedicated to calling me and mine faggots without using the exact words is too easy I guess. Your party hates me and mine.

You, YOU SPECIFICALLY, Flora, are EXACTLY the kind of person who would, and WILL, stand up for my rapist who is currently studying to be a therapist, because he will cry, and claim he's changed, and being a therapist is good, and don't we want ex-rapists to be therapists? He coerced me with therapy-speak, and he will use therapy-speak to tell rape victims to forgive their rapists, and people like YOU will call it "punitive" and "carceral" to demand my rapist be stripped of power, because before a damned thing has happened, people like YOU will be there to protect his career.

Your article did, and IS DOING, tremendous fucking damage to the cause of justice. You are naive and credulous and a convenient tool for every leftist rapist who knows how to cry and claim they're sorry.

When Kylo was killed it was a joint operation with US Marshals. PPB lies too often, (that's not bias the evidence is there.) PPB might lie about the feds killing the dog to avoid protests against the feds. If PDX viewed it as the "feds killed our dog." Recently PPB lied to arrest Justin Knap.

Today's protests in Hasakah aren't particularly noteworthy - some people, largely from an Arab neighbourhood where the PYD was never popular, want more integration into the state - but the counter protest has finally given me a good photo of one of the wildly contraversial Mazlum Abdi flags.
A version of the PKK flag, with the central star moved to the side to make space for a black and white photo of Mazlum Abdi's head in half profile. The background of the photo is a clear blue sky and the minaret of a mosque.
