South: My partner is wearing a fucking suit to their autism diagnosis appointment.

Berat: It's a special event!

South: Shut up.

(This was way funnier in my head- 😭)

I bet your mom is proud of you for crushing on South Dakota.

1) Please do not mention my mother to me, she is a little [THE REST OF THIS STATEMENT HAS BEEN REDACTED DUE TO HOW BAD THE SWEARING WAS].

2) I AM NOT CRUSHING ON SOUTH, WHERE ARE THESE ACCUSATIONS COMING FROM-

3) In a hypothetical timeline where I do have a crush on South, my mom would disown me if she found out, she hates Freelancers for reasons I do not know why.

This is the second ask I got about South, why am I getting asks about her-

This Week Within Our Country

An illegal immigrant who was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement by San Francisco police is to be awarded $190,000. Pedro Figueroa-Zarceno sued the city of San Francisco for violating its own sanctuary laws when police officers at Southern Station allegedly cooperated with immigration authorities to detain him. “It’s really important for San Francisco to remain a sanctuary city not in name only but also in practice,” said Saira Hussain, the attorney who represented Figueroa-Zarceno. She says that she hopes the settlement will encourage the city to follow its own sanctuary laws.

California became the seventh state to join the lawsuit challenging President Trump’s revised travel ban. So they’re against travel bans, eh? State Attorney General Xavier Becerra, the same guy who blasted Trump’s travel ban, announced the state is extending its state-funded and state-sponsored travel ban to four more red states: Alabama, Kentucky, South Dakota and Texas, which join Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee in being targeted by AB 1887, which attacks states that it says have laws discriminating against the LGBTQ community. AB 1887 became law on January 1; it states that California does not support or finance "discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people." Yet it boasts sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants and fights to welcome people from countries where killing, imprisoning and torturing LGBT people is legal and common practice.

A black Mississippi high school graduate sued her school district this week after she shared valedictorian status with a white student. The student and her mother are under the impression that the white student had a lower GPA and the only reason she wasn’t the outright winner was because of racism, despite the Mississippi school district confirming both students had the exact same GPA. As such, under school board policy, they were both named valedictorian of their graduating class. Still, it’s racism. The student and her mother have launched a “Justice for Jasmine” Facebook page. “The outpouring of good wishes and prayers have brought encouragement at some of the most darkest hours,” a recent post reads. The lawsuit seeks an unknown amount of money and wants Shephard to be declared the only valedictorian.

There is a growing split among Black Lives Matter and the LGBT movement. First they demanded for black and blown stripes to be included into the flag, now Black Lives Matter have published an open letter slamming NYC Pride for having police helping protect their parade, saying Pride events are not doing a good enough job at recognizing the dangers blacks face by the military forces (police). Black Lives Matter NYC said they hoped a dialogue with NYC Pride organizers would begin "about the safety of black and brown folks." BLM had three main demands for Pride: The removal of uniformed police from future events, a commitment to transform Pride events to center the lives of black communities and “the honoring of our ancestors and elders with true integrity.”

The White House notched a policy win when the House of Representatives passed a pair of Trump-backed immigration enforcement bills. The bills, which target sanctuary cities and illegal immigrants who re-enter the U.S. after being deported, are the first immigration legislation that Congress has advanced since Trump took office. If the 52 Senate Republicans want to get Trump’s signature, they will have to persuade at least eight of their Democratic colleagues to break party ranks. Kate’s Law looks the most likely to pass, while the “No Sanctuary for Criminals” bill on the other hand enjoys far less support on the Democratic side, just three House Democrats voted for it.

A self-professed asexual, genderqueer woman hopes her five year-old daughter also turns out to be “queer,” after already converting her daughter to identify as a boy. B.R. Sanders, a woman who identifies as transgender and a member of a polyamorous relationship, raises “Arthur” with her two other queer partners, Jon and Samantha. “Arthur” was actually born a female, but they decided at the age of three that he was a boy. Now Arthur presents as a boy. “When Arthur displayed a great deal of gender non-conforming behavior as a teensy child, we all welcomed it.” Sanders also says it would be strange for them if her child decided she was straight. “We do joke that it will be strange if Arthur comes out to us as straight,” she says. “We’re all half-expecting him to turn out like us.”

CNN has been exposed for pushing the false Russia-Trump collusion myth. There has been a number of instances now in which CNN either misrepresented the facts or completely botched a story. Recently they have had to retract several stories and several employers have been laid off. Employees have also been caught saying the Russia story doesn’t exist and they are only pushing it for ratings and because they don’t like Trump. Leadership at CNN decided to impose new rules on Russia coverage because the latest bungled stories seemingly proved to be the tipping point for the higher-ups. The New York Times have also had to retract their Russia claims.

Members of a Jewish LGBT group in Chicago were harassed, screamed at and berated before being publicly ousted from the Chicago’s “Dyke March,” which is part of Chicago Pride but is meant to be “more inclusive.” The organizers said their Jewish rainbow banner made other marchers feel “unsafe” so it was within their rights to remove the Jewish LGBT group altogether. Dyke March participants said that the attendees were “pro-Palestinian” because “Dyke Marches across the country are meant to represent the struggle of oppressed people.”

A black Mississippi man who thinks the state flag symbolizes white supremacy is taking his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. His lawsuit claims the flag to be “state-sanctioned hate speech” and wants it removed. He also claims the flag violates his constitutional right to equal protection. Several cities and towns, as well as all eight of the state’s public universities, have stopped flying the flag due to concerns that it is offensive to the state’s black population. Should the Supreme Court decide to take the lawsuit, a decision in favor could mean the banning of all official use of Confederate imagery across the country. The Supreme Court will address the case in October.

A gender-neutral option was made available on Washington, D.C. driver’s licenses, making D.C. the first in the nation to offer such and option. “X,” the new gender neutral identifier, is now featured alongside “M” and “F,” to accommodate D.C. citizens who identify as a “non-binary” gender. D.C. residents will also now be allowed to change the gender on their I.D. to whichever they identify as, without being required to get signed approval from a health care provider before changing their gender. Oregon is the next jurisdiction lined up to offer a gender neutral option in its state issued licenses.

In a worrying growing trend, another black criminal filmed himself starting a gun battle with police. He started streaming what was happening on his cellphone, telling this audience, "They're about to kill me.” The incident was precipitated by officers serving a warrant as part of an investigation into a March 31 killing. Officers noticed one of the homicide suspects, who fled with the police in pursuit. That pursuit led to El Segundo where the suspect ditched his car and ran through an apartment complex shooting at multiple officers. 

Canadian Conservative senators have blocked a bill approved by Justin Trudeau that would have made the country’s national anthem lyrics gender neutral and more inclusive of women. It tried to change the national anthem lyrics by altering the line “in all thy sons commands” to “in all of us command” in a bid to make the anthem more inclusive and remove gendered language from the anthem. Senator David Wells explained his opposition to the bill, saying national symbols shouldn’t be changed to the “flavor of the day” and added that the Canadians weren’t actually consulted on the change.
