As a lesbian™️ I just want to let any/all of my trans followers know in the wake of JK Rowlings further hateful comments on the trans community, that I stand with you. Trans men are valid as hell. Trans women are valid as hell (and absolutely b e a u t I f u l in this humble lesbians opinion). Shame on JK Rowling for trying to use my identity as a lesbian (which she doesn't even identify as) to invalidate trans people. Shame on anyone who hates on the trans community.

I know this most likely isn’t what this is referring to, but let’s take a moment to remember the African Americans captured for the Middle Passage that jumped off the boat rather than suffer through slavery. Despite all of the developments in this country, African Americans are still fighting for their rights, and most of all, their lives. If you can’t protest, sign petitions and watch YouTube videos giving ad revenue to groups to help. Please, do something.

The fact that a 12-year-old has to take the initiative…

On Sixth Anniversary Of Flint Water Crisis, Flint Still Has No Backup Water Source

Flint, MI–On the sixth anniversary of the Flint water crisis, Flint is again in the midst of a crisis.

Six years after the disastrous switch to the Flint River as a source of drinking water for the city, which led to an outbreak of Legionnaire’s Disease and toxic levels of lead leaching into the water, the city remains in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act for not having a reliable secondary drinking water source.

Mayor Sheldon Neeley sent a stern message to Flint city council Monday to, “finish the job,” referring to the 21-inch diameter, five-and-a-half-mile pipe, that would connect Genesee County’s water system to Flint. The pipe would ensure that should the current system, which pulls Lake Huron water via Detroit, fail, Flint would have a readily available source of water.

As of now, the only backup source the city has are water reservoirs, which would only supply residents with drinkable water for a matter of days. If anything, such as a major line break or any other unpredictable event that could compromise the city’s water, it’s unclear where Flint would go next once the reservoirs run dry. “The results could be catastrophic,” Neeley said.

The city, per federal law, must have a secondary source of water. The proposed project would be paid for by an Obama era bill, the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act. The act authorized $100 million in funding for “Flint, Mich., to recover from the lead contamination in its drinking water system.” According to the EPA, $87 million of that money has not been spent.

The proposed backup system was due to be completed in December of 2019 at a cost of $14.7 million in federal funds. On Monday, the council again voted 4 to 4 delaying construction. A majority vote of six would be needed from the nine-person council to reconsider the contract before they could revisit the project.

Hydroviv was founded as a response to the Flint water crisis and is providing filters to people who need them, not just in Flint but other cities as well, at cost. Mari’s fund is trying to reach its third goal of $200,000. Pictured but not linked: https://www.gofundme.com/f/TeamMariWater

Of course, the point of the article is that filters would not be as vital if the local gov would DO THEIR FUCKING JOB, WITH MONEY THEY WERE ALREADY GRANTED.

Hess later admitted to lying on multiple occasions after DJ’s death about the shooting.

These were all murders. They were not accidental. All of these innocent people: men, women AND children. Were murdered because they were black. Not because they were violent. Not because they were threatening, but because they were black. Something has to change. We have to MAKE a change. Black lives matter. Black men. Black women. Black children. Non-Binary blacks. Trans blacks. Every single one of their lives matter. Your friends. Your neighbors. Your teachers. Your brothers. Your sisters. We are the change.

i’m angry.

there are so many issues, i don’t know where to start. but i’m going to be as blunt as possible because the sugar coating is overrated and some of y’all need to hear this again because what i’m saying has been said before. being black in america is a death sentence. it’s terrible and it’s heartbreaking and it’s entirely unnecessary. we’ve been so tired for so long and the fact that we have to fight to be treated as equals in a time like this or any time at all speaks volumes.

don’t tell me that my people are overreacting, that they’re being too aggressive. don’t ask me what if the roles were reversed. because i gurantee every single white person would crumble if they had to go through what a black person goes through every day of their life. recognize your privilege as a white or non-black person. i want to ask you to use it to your advantage and help black people in any way you can. spread awareness, sign the petitions, donate to our causes. because that is the very least you can do.

lastly. fuck cops, fuck racists, fuck all those who choose to side with the oppressor. black lives are being taken every day and i’m angry.

genzcanspeak

if you’re white and lgbt, you better be speaking up in support of the black lives matter movement right now. don’t forget all of pride is celebration of another riot started by people of color.
