@saudadiste7: Very very scary that Neely's sickle cell trait was used by Penny's defense that he would have died anyway, unclear if the trait was even expressed, if you have "the wrong genes" they can straight up kill you and say it was God's will. I'm late for work, this floored me

@internetuserf12: Daniel Penny’s murder of Jordan Neely was justified on the basis that Jordan Neely had a pre-existing health condition(sickle cell). Please take a moment to comprehend(and research) how the U.S. legal system codifies eugenics.

This isn’t just eugenics. It’s vigilante eugenics backed by the courts. “Mr. Penny’s lawyers suggested that Mr. Neely had died because of a toxic combination of his synthetic marijuana use, sickle cell trait and mental illness.”

link to the article in the tweet.

It must be mentioned that the U.S. has a very long legal history of openly using eugenics, specifically, to covertly target Black folks, specifically. Please, consider reading the incredible works of Dorothy Roberts on the subject.

Save My Brother Samer’s Life 🚨

If you scroll past this, you are ignoring a life that can be saved.

I’m writing as a brother watching Samer struggle for survival. His health has deteriorated to the point of falling into a coma, and we are unable to provide him with the necessary treatment. 💔

Samer suffers from bipolar disorder, and his stability relied on daily medications including LeponeX (Clozapine), Depalept Chrono (Sodium Valproate), and Lithium CO3 (Lithium Carbonate). These medications helped stabilize him, but without them, his health has worsened significantly. Every moment is crucial, and the pain and worry are relentless. 😞

There is no place for my brother in the hospital, and we cannot secure the treatment he needs. Imagine being unable to help your own brother as he struggles, without a way to provide the medicine he needs to recover.

Your donation could be the only hope to bring Samer back to life, giving him a chance to heal and come back to us. 🙏

Every contribution, no matter how small, could make a tremendous difference in saving Samer’s life. 💙

Abed needs $2000 to keep his hand

After weeks sleeping outdoors with no warm clothes or blankets, my friend Abed's @mohmad2 finger has turned black.

It will need to be amputated within days without treatment.

His type 1 diabetes makes this especially urgent. It could turn worse much more quickly; he can only manage to get insulin a couple times a week and has been hospitalized with a coma countless times since the war started.

Please help my friend by sharing and/or donating. He, his wife, and their children have been through relentless trauma and hardship, and unfortunately I do not have the funds to save his hand without help.

Previous fundraiser was vetted (#47) but removed by GFM

Trans Women Face More Injuries Than Cis Ones (It's Not Even Close)

❝Transgender women in the study group suffered 8x times as many head injuries as the controls, 36x as many facial injuries, and 5x times as many chest injuries.❞

So much for "protecting women".
