Never forget. Never forgive

Toni Morrison

"I tell my students, ‘When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else."

Rest in Power.

A Salvadoran trans woman died in ICE custody on June 1, the first day of Pride Month. 

Johana Medina was a migrant from El Salvador. She was seeking asylum in the U.S.

Known to her friends as Joa, Johana passed away Saturday night from complications due to HIV/AIDS. Her death was announced on the Diversidad Sin Fronteras Facebook page on Sunday. 

In a statement, Casa Migrante trans leader Grecia, who was close with Johana, said that ICE agents ignored Johana’s pleas for help as her illness became worse while in custody.

SAY HIS NAME!

Didn’t realize being a racist fuck was a disability

Rest in peace💯

We mourn. We remember.  We stand with the LGBTQ community against hate and violence.

A Florida man was murdered early Sunday morning defending his gay friends from a drunk homophobe who followed them out of the restaurant where they were eating. 

Multiple witnesses reported that the killer came after the group and shouted, “If we were in my country I’d kill all of you like rats. I hate you damned gays. I’m going to kill you all here.”

The victim, 22-year-old Juan Javier Cruz , was shot dead with a handgun Mena pulled from his pocket after defending his friends.

This is not right that people have to die just because homophobia is flourishing in America.

RIP  Juan Javier Cruz, you are a hero.

Rest in power

May his memory be a blessing.

When people say “It’s 2018, nobody cares if you’re gay or not.” They don’t even know

Good

On Dec 6, 1989, at 5:10pm, a man with a gun a hunting knife, and a vendetta against feminists walked into École Polytechnique, and killed 14 women, and injuring 14 others, in what is known as the École Polytechnique massacre, and the worst gun-reated mass murder in Canada . He separated the men from the women in the classes he attacked, and only shot the women. Within 20 minutes, he turned the gun on himself so he could take an easy way out. The École Polytechnique massacre happened 26 years ago today. That man’s name means nothing but murder and death, so we will not give him the courtesy of granting him media attention. Instead, let us remember the victims, women who were in school to learn, who had hopes and dreams, family and friends, lovers and loving personalities. Let us remember

Geneviève Bergeron (born 1968), civil engineering student Hélène Colgan (born 1966), mechanical engineering student Nathalie Croteau (born 1966), mechanical engineering student Barbara Daigneault (born 1967), mechanical engineering student Anne-Marie Edward (born 1968), chemical engineering student Maud Haviernick (born 1960), materials engineering student Maryse Laganière (born 1964), budget clerk in the École Polytechnique’s finance department Maryse Leclair (born 1966), materials engineering student Anne-Marie Lemay (born 1967), mechanical engineering student Sonia Pelletier (born 1961), mechanical engineering student Michèle Richard (born 1968), materials engineering student Annie St-Arneault (born 1966), mechanical engineering student Annie Turcotte (born 1969), materials engineering student Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz (born 1958), nursing student

And all of the students who committed suicide after the massacre.

Nous souviendrai vous. Pour les frères, et soeurs, les mamans et les papas, je suits très desolé, je presenté mes condoléances 💖

Trayvon Martin was walking home from a store. George Zimmerman falsely accused him of being a criminal.

Philando Castile was reaching for his license. Jeronimo Yanez falsely accused him of reaching for his gun.

If conservatives are so worried about men’s lives being ruined by false accusations, why didn’t they feel the same way about these men being falsely accused?

Suzanne Spaak (1905-1944) was a Belgian operative for the French Resistance during World War II. Her efforts helped save hundreds of people from certain death.

She was a wealthy and well-known woman in high circles around Brussels, and used this influence to collaborate with the French Resistance and the National Movement Against Racism in their humanitarian efforts. She saved hundreds of Jewish children from deportation, hiding many of them in her own house and arranging for them to be moved to safe countries. She was executed by the Gestapo in 1944, days before the liberation of Paris.

please let us all be loving and compassionate tomorrow and center latinx lgbt people, support lgbt muslims, and help lgbt people of color heal tomorrow. tomorrow is a day of remembrance. 

today is our day of remembrance. god bless every latinx lgbt person and every lgbt person of color, and may every victim rest in peace and power.

can someone please give me some legal insight into how he was found “not guilty” when she was clearly murdered? i just don’t understand HOW i’m so angry

Also Cormier basically admitted on tape that he killed someone:

Somebody kill him and put him in the river. Idec anymore. The system has failed and he should die.

Trayvon would have turned 23 today, February 5, 2018.

This is a tragedy. Wiped out by hate.

Just want to say their names again:
