What the term POC is supposed to do: Replace the word minority, which can have negative connotations, and vaguely describe any group of people who aren’t white
What the term POC is NOT supposed to do:
Replace the word black when you’re talking SPECIFICALLY about black people
Allow non black POC to make their struggles and black struggles interchangeable
Allow non black POC to be anti black under the guise of “solidarity”
This has been a public service announcement.
Hey, some assholes called Dakota Access are planning to build an unnecessary pipeline that could potentially put everyone living on Standing Rock Reservation in danger and it’d be rad if you could take a second to sign this petition to stop this please indigenous people deserve clean fucking water

http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Police-Investigating-Kidnapping-of-17-Year-Old-Girl-376867311.html?_osource=SocialFlowFB_DFWBrand
She was found, alive and apparently physically unharmed, but the kidnapping investigation is ongoing.
First and foremost, I want to acknowledge the amount of anxiety I have writing this post for all of you to see. There is great shame when it comes to asking for what you need, especially as a poor Afro-Latinx trans person. So often the communities I am a part of (and other marginalized communities) are ashamed and afraid to ask for help even when we are in dire in need of it; even when our livelihood depends on it. However after watching this video by marfmellow, ecstasy and I have decided to reach out to our community/allies for support.
We are fighting eviction at the moment. We live in the projects in the Lower East Side and I have been/currently am the only person working full-time in the house. We want to be transparent around how we got to this place in hopes that you all would find it in your hearts to help us get out of this rut we’re in. Our rent was raised earlier in the year and since then, my mental health has hit all-time lows. I have been severely depressed and anxious, and have had multiple mental breakdowns that result in me disassociating. Because of my mental health, I fell behind on a couple months of rent and it’s been a spiral of constantly trying to catch up on our rent but not making a big enough dent in this balance since we have other bills to pay for on top of just trying to survive in New York City (which isn’t cheap).
So now we’re here: facing eviction if we don’t pay the balance you see above, off. August 1st is 18 days away from now (7/15). If we raise $145 a day over the next 18 days, we would have raised the total amount due.
We are in desperate need of our community’s help. We’ve tried to pay as much as we can off every month, but it’s not enough and the dollars keep accumulating. We will continue to pay off what we can, but I know we can really put a dent in our debt with all of your help.
Asking for help isn’t easy, but we believe in collective/community liberation and reaching out for help is one of many steps to that goal. If you can donate $1, $5, $50 - anything at all, we ask that you please help us out.
Please spread this and reblog this regardless of your ability to donate. We appreciate signal boosts as well!
Thank you so much for taking the time out to read this and help us out during this hard time.
Any/all donations can be sent to this PayPal: [email protected].
Much love to all of you.
In struggle,
Lee and Nico
We’ve raised $340 over the last couple of days. We’re super grateful to everyone that has donated, the super encouraging notes people have left us, and for everyone who has boosted this post.
We still have $2,267 to raise by August 1st. Please please help us if you can. $1, $5, $20 - anything and everything counts.
Thank you so much!
UPDATE: We’ve raised $364 so far! We’ve got a long way to go and August 1st is right around the corner.
If folks could help us raise $1000, that would be great. It would put a huge dent in our debt and we might be able to negotiate staying in our apartment since I get paid this coming week and can put some money towards the rent.
I believe we can do this. But we really need everyone’s help. Times are hard for everyone, but if you can donate any amount of money to help us out, we’re grateful.
We need to raise $336 to hit the $1,000 mark.
Please donate if you can and boost this.
Thank you! Much love.
We’ve raised $404 total! Woo! :) That means we only have until Friday to raise $596!
Please donate anything you can to help us close this gap and secure our housing.
Signal boost!
We’re up to a little over $500 raised! Thanks so much to those who donated! Help us raise AT LEAST $500 by Friday so we can secure our housing.
Continue to donate if you can. Continue to boost!
Thanks so much. ❤️
We have $400 left to raise and only one day to raise it!
Please continue to signal boost! Help us secure our housing!
Just want to thank everyone who’s been helping us out. Forever grateful for community.
We have until the end of the day to raise the rest of the money.
Continue to signal boost and donate anything you can.
Much love.
Update: So we raised about $700 before August 1st. This is great and we appreciate everyone’s support during this hard time.
That means we have about $1,900 left to raise. It’s past August 1st, but if y'all can help us raise $1,300 more dollars, Nico and I can pay the remaining $900 before the end of the month.
This month is hard because I’m on a mental health leave from work and only getting paid once in the month so money is tighter than usual.
PLEASE PLEASE DONATE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN.
I’ll be going to housing court next week to fight this eviction and if I can prove that we’ve made a significant dent in the rent balance then it may help my case.
Please donate. Please signal boost.
Thank you.
Signal boost please!
Donate if you can!
IMPORTANT UPDATE - PLEASE DONATE:
Nico and I are about to get evicted. We got a call today from the housing manager saying that the marshals are one step away from serving us a notice if we don’t pay the remainder of the rent.
We have $1800 more to pay by tomorrow. If not; there’s a chance we’ll be evicted as early as next Monday.
If you have ANYTHING to spare, please donate via venmo (contactleej) or cash app (cashtag: $LeeJimenez). That is the quickest way we can transfer money into the bank.
I really don’t want cops knocking on our door and in our house. And I really don’t want to be homeless again.
Please donate anything you can.
Feminist writer Clementine Ford was banned from her own Facebook page for exposing her harassers
Rather than ignore her harassers or allow them to silence her, Ford posted screen shots of abusive comments sent to her personal messages folder. Facebook responded by banning the author from her page for 30 days — because she was “violating Facebook’s community standards.”
Something similar happened to me... Facebook’s “community standards” are an absolute joke.
I was giving some lectures in Germany about the death penalty. It was fascinating because one of the scholars stood up after the presentation and said, ‘Well you know it’s deeply troubling to hear what you’re talking about.’ He said, ‘We don’t have the death penalty in Germany. And of course, we can never have the death penalty in Germany.’ And the room got very quiet, and this woman said, 'There’s no way, with our history, we could ever engage in the systematic killing of human beings. It would be unconscionable for us to, in an intentional and deliberate way, set about executing people.’ And I thought about that. What would it feel like to be living in a world where the nation state of Germany was executing people, especially if they were disproportionately Jewish? I couldn’t bear it. It would be unconscionable. And yet, in this country, in the states of the Old South, we execute people - where you’re 11 times more likely to get the death penalty if the victim is white than if the victim is black, 22 times more likely to get it if the defendant is black and the victim is white - in the very states where there are buried in the ground the bodies of people who were lynched. And yet, there is this disconnect.

Because news cameras are apparently only there if looting and protests are mentioned, here are some shots from the march for peace in Charleston yesterday. In case you missed it, thousands marched to Ravenel Bridge, holding hands in prayer and unity. Yet this doesn’t make news, but an interview with the killer’s friend does. all photos from Twitter

#JusticeForDavidFelix Campaign
This is not another hashtag funeral. This is the beginning of a coordinated campaign involvingStreetwise and Safe, Black Lives Matter, Black Millennials, Million Hoodies, LGBTQQ activists, just immigration organizers, and you.
David Felix was shot to death – unarmed – by two veteran NYPD detectives on April 25, 2015. He was a first-generation immigrant from Haiti, an aspiring fashion student, and loved world history. He was much beloved in the runaway and homeless youth community and by the social and legal service providers that knew him, his New York City family.
His body sat unclaimed in the Office of the Medical Examiner with a bullet wound for two weeks. The family is in need of financial support to cover David’s burial costs and help his family members from Haiti attend his funeral on June 4. (The family wants as many people to attend the funeral as possible; we will share those details later.)
The one report in a major newspaper demonized David with the following headline: “Suspect Fatally Shot by Detective in East Village Had Mental Illness and a Troubled Past.” Note: we will not link to it and we ask you to not Google the headline.
David’s truth is that he was a loving, vibrant soul. And another Black life lost to our militarized police state, institutional white supremacy, the prison industrial complex, and a country whose political leadership ignores mental health and homelessness.
Please donate to the fund to cover David’s funeral costs and please share with your networks using the hashtag #JusticeForDavidFelix: http://bit.ly/DavidFelix
Black lives are stake. We will continue to share actions that pursue justice for David Felix, his family, his community, and prevent more senseless murders. The fundraiser is but the first step. Share this far and wide, and follow our partners in justice.

“It feels like we put such a double standard on sex workers to prove themselves that they’ve made an empowered choice, in a way that we don’t ask that about people in other kinds of service work”
-Melissa Gira Grant on Sex Work, Gentrification, and Sex Trafficking Laws.
Willpower is a limited resource. Science proves this. While you can try to waste less on little things, or build it up with other tricks, it’s never going to be infinite. And chronic illness demands a lot of it; you have to do things that are when you’re in pain, or exhausted. Maybe you need to stick to rigid treatment and lifestyle plans. Many things will be uncomfortable.
If you just can’t find the motivation to do everything you are asking of yourself, it’s probably not because you’re “lazy.” It’s not because you’re a bad person. It’s because you’re burning through your willpower too fast. When I start struggling to stick to my daily routine, I know I’ve overdone it and I need to scale back. And you know what, my self control goes back to normal after a rest. I am very confident it is a problem with my situation, not my personality.
actually idk if i’ve ever explained this, my stance regarding fascism is informed by the following premises:
Fascism in general is an inherently violent ideology that threatens me personally and the lives of everyone i love. We will not be safe so long as it continues to exist.
Many Fascists would rather die than abandon this ideology. I believe they should be obliged.
