So. As you can see, this post will focus on the #Pride month that is going on right now. I want to say straight off, today will be a safe day for all…and that is all LGBTQIA+ people. (And I am including Drag performers in this as well…of all sexes!)
I (JJ) am writing the post today, and I will not abide any comments that demean any of my ๐ฉท๐ฉต๐ฉถfamily and friends, who are celebrating with their #Pride families.
On Sunday and Wednesday…those days when I write the post. Don't make derogatory comments or remarks or post anti -trans, anti-drag propaganda. Do not post hate filled statements that are also used by the right wing Christian fanatics that are taking away abortion rights…birth control and even divorce for people all over the US.
I will not accept any reference or comparisons to "black face" and drag. As I think it is a disgusting form of Christofascist rhetoric that has no place on this blog. I consider those kind of statements a form of hate speech. And if you need an explanation of this…then maybe you have become to radicalized to realize what ideals you are pushing.
I give fair warning, I will close the comments on my blog threads if there is any issues.
I want a safe place here. I am a fierce ally and supporter for all LGBTQIA+ peoples.
This is my Uncle John…and his cat Clio.
This is what John was going to take when he went to Yuma's Pride parade on Friday night with his husband Steve and their trans friend Danielle…you see Clio is a fierce LGBTQIA+ ally too!
I love my family and friends who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community…and I will do anything for them. I cannot sit here…at least on the days I write my post, and see the people I love be treated with such disrespect.
If you have a problem with that, I suggest you just don't comment at all regarding this particular issue.
for @MSNBC, I wrote about the arrest of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund organizers, the bipartisan crackdown on protesters in Atlanta, and why everyone––regardless of where you are––should care about the struggle to #StopCopCity.
While these arrests of bail fund organizers are a first, "if if history tells us anything, it certainly won't be the last. Who will be targeted next?" Other bail funds? Abortion funds? Migrant travel funds? Other mutual aid groups?
The laws that police and prosecutors are using to charge people with domestic terrorism and target community work send a clear message: "If you fight for a livable future or resist oppression, you might be labeled a domestic terrorist, and prosecuted accordingly."
another reason you should care, even if you're not in Atlanta: Cop City is part of a trend. It followed Chicago's Cop Academy, and many similar facilities have been proposed across the country since. If this goes forward, there may be a Cop City coming to a city near you soon.
Give that a few minutes of your time…again that link is as follows:
In their attempts to silence critics of 'Cop City,' @micahinATL says police and public officials in Georgia are validating protesters' criticisms of them. https://t.co/DkSPoPlfVt
I am grieving for #Atlanta and for the many that feel they do not matter and that there is an effort to silence dissent.
Such a sad report about the city that once proclaimed itself "too busy to hate" and where many civil rights efforts were planned. https://t.co/oD1NhIc3oL
The cost for Cop City is now expected to be more than DOUBLE the $31mil that @andreforatlanta has repeatedly quoted. Invest in people, not police. We must #StopCopCity and invest directly in the people of Atlanta, good schools, and universal healthcare.https://t.co/TxWkCIzZIP
