Every time I think of this story I think of his wife and how she sounded in the video and how callous the police were even after killing him and trying to justify why!

He did everything right and they still killed him in front and his family.

A teacher. A leader in a community.
Gone like that.
A cop murdered Philando Castile right in front of his baby and his lady; all recorded on video. One of countless Black men whose murder America has watched online. The cop claimed he was in fear for his life and was acquitted.

The dark side of "HELP AUTISTIC KIDS!" and "HELP GAY KIDS!" and "HELP TRANS KIDS!" is always "When those kids grow up, they're on their own".

Kids need help. More help than adults.

BUT ADULTS NEED HELP TOO.

What the fuck is up with @trevorproject.bsky.social having a cutoff of 25 years old for their support hotline?

Trans adults need care too and will increasingly face suicide risks as things continue to become worse.

Also, wtf does 25 even mean for a trans person transitioning in their 30s? c'mon!

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy. We will never forget it, and we will not let the nation or the world forget — despite the revisionism of Trump and his lackeys in the Republican Party.

An innovative study of butterflies in the contiguous US found that in the last 20 years, the country has lost 22% of its butterflies (likely a conservative estimate). Insects are critical to supporting life on earth: they pollinate plants; break down dead matter; and feed birds and other creatures.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?
