we’re here, we’re queer and we’re a lot more valid in our anger than you’d like to admit
Read this list before you say that biphobia is just homophobia one more fucking time.
a message to my followers
Earlier today my mother came into the kitchen and threw a a post-boiling pan of cheese on my arms. That sounds almost humorously absurd but it wasn’t. She then made me clean up and threatened to call the police on ME saying I was being evicted. I have never seen an eviction notice but I will not call the police because I am afraid. I did not suffer extreme burns but I am fearful for my life. My mother has a history of alcoholism and is prone to violent outbursts. She currently has a police record with 6 counts of domestic abuse, 2 counts of DUI.
For the record, she has taken violence against me for being bisexual and experimenting with my gender outwardly in the past, and mentioned it today after I was assaulted. But in general her issue with me is that I live here with her and she hates me.
She currently has my phone and my computer is a desktop so I don’t think I can take it with me.
I’m currently safe in my room but I can’t take this anymore.
I will be gone for the next few days to be with my friend who has offered me a place to stay until my father comes home from Germany to do something about this.
I am unemployed and I need to save up for a permanent solution to this. If anyone wants to donate, I do have a link for donations. This is not obligated and I’m not trying to guilt anyone but I need to get the fuck out of this abusive house.
Oh my god…
friendly reminder that native americans actually suffer more police brutality & police murders than any other ethnicity
friendly reminder that we got our right to vote after black ppl did
friendly reminder that up until the 19-fucking-90’s our women would have their tubes forcibly tied by doctors after they gave birth, as a way to get rid of us
Friendly reminder that most of our sacred sites have been polluted by mining, illegal dumping, or radiation. AND EVEN MORE OF THEM HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM US
friendly reminder that there is genetic evidence that native american’s have always been native to america and the land bridge theory is completely debunked & the land bridge theory is still only being taught to make white people’s genocide and theft seem justified.
friendly reminder that there is less than one percent of us left here.
JUSTICE FOR JENNIFER LAUDE !
END THE MILITARY EXERCISES AND VISITING FORCES AGREEMENT!
KICK OUT THE U.S. MILITARY OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES !
If you live in NYC, come join us for the action and rally on Wednesday, October 15 at 5 pm in front of the Philippines Embassy.
When: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 at 5 pm. Where: 556 Fifth Avenue, New York front of the Philippines Embassy
If you haven’t heard already in Philippine news and now some U.S. news outlets like ABC News & The New York Post, yesterday night a transgender woman name Jennifer Laude was found murdered inside the Celzone Lodge on Magsaysay Drive in Olangapo City, Zambales. She was found, strangled with her head leaning over the toilet by one of the hotel attendants who was also a witness. The attendant, Elias Gallamos, witnessed a white man with blonde hair and a marine cut walking out of the hotel room a few minutes after both he and Jennifer went in. According to Elias the suspect left the door open and Elias went to check the room but saw slippers outside the bathroom so believed someone was inside using the room and he left. Later, they returned to check back in the hotel room and discovered Jennifers body.
Earlier on in the night another witness, the victim’s friend, said they met the suspect at the Ambyanz Disco Bar at 10:55 p.m. Jennifer then invited the suspect to the hotel and asked the witness to leave before the suspect found out they were both transgender.
Both witnesses describe the man as having a “white complexion, with marine-style cut of hair,” standing between 5’8″ and 5’10” and between 25 and 30 years old.
The suspect is now detained in the USS Peleliu assault ship as the investigation continues. However according to the VFA any military servicemen who has committed a crime in the Philippines must be held by U.S. officials not Philippine officials. Basically the U.S. military is hiding behind the VFA (which they created) for the suspect and any other military personel stationed on the islands to gain immunity and escape prosecution from Philippines laws.
Now people, especially the family members and friends of Jennifer, are worried that the U.S. ships can leave at any time and justice won’t be served as the suspect and 3 other suspects of the case will not be turned over to Philippines authorities. Though officials say the ship will not be able to leave the port until the case is solved many worry this will not be the case.
We call for the U.S. to turn over the suspects to Philippine officials for investigation. We call for justice for Jennifer Laude in which its clearly a hate crime and for the numerous rape cases by U.S. military who have escaped prosecution.
JUSTICE !
