The City of Greenwood's attorney feels like it's not constitutional for a hate crimes ordinance to exist here.

The attorney for Richland County, however, didn't see a problem, and thank goodness! A black man was merely jogging when a white man shouted "keep on running boy!" after firing a gun at him.

@kathimmel I did one ride with that flag before & some jerkwad called the cops on me. They told cops that I was promoting terrorism. They sent cops to my house. I sent the cops who came for that BS bigotry call/waste of taxpayers monies - on walk of shame, back to their cruiser, while shouting that they're fascist bigots who were OK ignoring my family's multiple calls about racialized hate crimes on us & 2 other POC family neighbours for over 3 years. Fuck those racist cops who ignored POC families real hate crimes against us but jumped on one call from racist white people.

Poisoned native birds falling from the sky

"A Melbourne wildlife carer estimates 400 native corellas and pigeons may have died from suspected poisoning in Melbourne's south-east over the weekend. Native bird species killed include the crested pigeons, ravens, sulphur-crested cockatoos and silver gulls ...[The birds] were literally falling from the sky, they were falling down in front of cars and getting hit."

ABC News · ‘Falling from the sky’: Investigation launched into suspected Melbourne native bird poisoningBy ABC News

Every month - we have had racist hate crime shit happening at our home because it's visibly marked as an #EcoJustice & #HumanRights heavy household. We have multiple activism signs & stickers up.

#Saanich cops never help us. We still have human rights case against them. Bootlicking #SaanichMayor #DeanMurdock would do great work polishing boots of his cop army who loved to exploit budget increases on getting cops more militarized

Not in our public interests!
ALL MAYORS NEED TO BE BANNED FROM L0CAL POLICE. MASSIVE CONFLICTS OF PUBLIC INTEREST!

See how hard some of us have to try to get people to accept we're being targeted by hate, all the headline I see today are about the Hate Crime against Jews, nothing about the hate crime against us Queers.

His widower dismissed as a "silly queer", the Press will move on because unless we're being entertaining, QUEERS DONT COUNT 😡
