quick note

Another petition here, to drop charges against a harassment victim according to precedent. This one's gathering momentum much faster. Murder charges are being pressed against an African-American trans woman for defending herself.

On a related note, I've started learning about police violence and discriminatory law enforcement against queer people of color, and some history that draws connections WAAAY further than I realized. I may make a series of posts, with cuts, about what I learn on this subject. It's all from one amazing book, though one of its authors has another book coming out very soon.
