What happens when you defend a drag show from the armed transphobes who threatened to murder attendees? In Texas, first you get arrested on bullshit charges, then a "Christian fascist fraternity" sues you for violating their "right" to attack drag queens and their fans. When two people facing this situation contacted the International Anti-Facist Defence Fund, we stepped in to help them with their legal costs, because we have the backs of anyone willing to protect people from transphobic violence. You should too, here's how:
Chris' crowdfunder
Aeshna's crowdfunder
If you also think that having a standing fund to come to the aid of anti-fascists in emergency situations like this = a good idea, you should contribute to that fund right here!

Don Henry (16) and Kevin Ives (17) were best friends and seniors at their Bryant, Arkansas, high school. They also died together in the early hours of August 23rd, 1987. The how and why is still up for debate.
The previous night, a Saturday, the two teenagers had spent some time with friends. Soon after midnight, they went back to Don’s house and told his father they would go out to hunt near the train tracks. That’s the last time he saw them.
A few hours later, the driver of a cargo train noticed two bodies lying side by side, very straight, on the tracks. He honked and did his best to stop in time, but he still ran them over. But what could have been just a horrible tragedy turned out to be a haunting mystery.
Why would they be lying on train tracks? And how couldn’t they hear a very loud train coming to them? The driver and other members of the train crew reported seeing what looked like a green tarp on top of Don and Kevin, but by the time police arrived to see the mangled bodies, they couldn’t find it anywhere.
The medical examiner ruled the deaths accidental and said they had been knocked out by smoking at least 20 marijuana cigarrettes. But the families didn’t buy that and kept pressing for answers until they managed to make police repoen the investigation five months later.
A new autopsy revealed that there weren’t 20 cigarrettes, only 1 to 3 smoked between the two of them. There was evidence that one of the boys was already dead by the time the train hit him, the other was unconscious. An expert analyzed Don’s t-shirt and found stab marks. After all this, the cause of death was changed from accidental to homicide.
But the case remains unsolved. The prevailing theory is that the boys saw something they shouldn’t have while they were hunting. A stranger dressed in military clothing was seen near the tracks a week before the murders, and when a policeman approached him, he opened fire. Some witnesses claim they spotted him again the night Don and Kevin died.

I have never thought that this would happen in my country. I don't know why? Nobody yet knows why. The shooter is dead - my friend said that he shot himself. The police didn't confirm it yet. My friends were there, they were hiding in the cellars.
A university shooting.

Before anyone starts talking about gun laws in the US and "see, there's mass shootings in Europe too", this was the seventh and the worst mass shooting in this country since the end of the Second World War

Come here, baby gays, and let me tell you the story about how James Somerton made me so fucking angry with a single line that I had to make this post.
As I now know, most of his audience is young queers and there are things we NEED you to know.
The fight for marriage equality was a massive fucking deal and I will tell you why with a very personal story.
My mom was a nurse during the AIDS crisis. And I mean she started working as a nurse out of school in 85. My mom was on the front lines. She worked with so many AIDS patients that it genuinely altered her brain chemistry. My mother was a homophobe before her nursing career. She was a massive supporter of gay rights until she died in July because of what she saw during her career.
And what did she see?
She saw people who had been abandoned by their families dying with their partners at their side.
And then suddenly…the family would materialize, ban the partner from the room, kick them out of their homes they had lived in with their dying partners for decades, and then watched them ban their partners from even attending the funerals or visiting the graves. Imagine being denied your right to grieve.
And why was this possible? Oh simple. They weren’t married. They weren’t legally bound, the partners weren’t considered next of kin because they weren’t fucking married.
I watched my mom pass. It was horrible and painful and traumatic and terrifying. But it was closure. And I wouldn’t have it any other way because I know…that who my mom wanted by her when she passed was my dad. Because she was scared, she wanted her partner by her side and she was terrified she was going to die. My dad couldn’t be there. He had to work, which sounds cold but understand he had been off work for a month by that point and he was the only one who had health insurance. He wanted to be there, we had made plans to take her off the life support when he came back (we were 4 hours from him) but there was a freak accident and she passed the night after he left to return to work.
Why am I telling you this? Because I need you to understand how important this is to some people. So you can understand how big a slap to the face it is to have people say “marriage equality isn’t that important”. You can understand why someone like James Somerton rolling his eyes at marriage equality and implying we weren’t focused on job equality and discrimination (information that is WHOLEY untrue) would make me see red.
It’s not trivial. It’s not meaningless. It wasn’t about “assimilating” or “appearing normal” (we’re already normal).
It’s about people who had their children taken from them because they weren’t the biological parent. It’s about people who never got to comfort their loved ones in their final days. It’s about people who weren’t able to comforted by their partners in their final days.
So the next time you think “why waste your time on something as trivial as marriage?” Remember my mother. Look up testimony from victims of the AIDS crisis. Remember the people who advocated for marriage equality were the survivors who were torn from the love of their life.
Remember that we advocated so damn hard to give you the right to grieve.

🗣️ This is for all new internet connected cars
A new study has found that your car likely knows more about you than your mom. That is disconcerting, but what’s even more so is what is being done with your information. It’s all about the Benjamins. Our private information is being collected and sold.
The Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit that studies internet and privacy issues, studied 25 car manufacturers. And it found every manufacturer sold in America poses a greater risk to your privacy than any device, app or social media platform.
Our cars are rolling computers, many of which are connected to the internet collecting information about how you drive and where. New cars also have microphones and sensors that give you safety features like automatic braking and drowsy driver detection. Those systems are also providing information. Got GPS or satellite radio? Then your car likely knows your habits, musical and political preferences.
Did you download your car’s app which gives you access to even more features? Well that also gives your car access to your phone and all the information on it.
The study found that of the 25 car brands, 84% say they sell your personal data.
And what they collect is astounding.
One example the study sites is KIA’s privacy policy. It indicates the company collects information about your sexual activity. I initially didn’t believe it until I pulled KIA’s privacy policy and read it. And it’s right there in black and white. It says it collects information about your “ethnicity, religious, philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, sex life, or political opinions.
And it says it can keep your info for “as long as is necessary for the legitimate business purpose set out in this privacy notice.”
Translation: Nissan can keep your information as long as they want to. And more than half of the manufacturers (56%) say they will share your information with law enforcement if asked.
