(CNN) When she heard the pop of gunfire, LaPorsha Washington threw her body over her eldest daughter in the front seat, shielding her during a Sunday morning coffee run with her children.
“Get down,” she screamed to the three other daughters she couldn’t protect in the back seat. Gunfire from a pickup nearby shattered her driver’s side window.
When the shooting stopped, her 7-year-old daughter in the back seat was dead. She had been shot in the head in the incident that happened in the Houston area, Washington said, CNN affiliate KTRK reported.
I have tweeted every tweet about this that I can find since it happened. Please help find the evil bastard who killed this innocent babe
hey this is just a random thought but please don’t talk to disabled people’s friends instead of them, like we’re their handlers??
i accompanied a blind friend to an art gallery the other weekend because she had a gig to play music for the guests. my partner and i were there to help her set up and give her a ride, etc. right away, the gallery owner turned to me and was like, “what kind of chair does she want?” and i turned to my friend and was like “hey, what kind of chair do you want?” luckily, it only took me doing this two or three times for the lady to start talking TO my friend, and she definitely was good about some things (describing the area where the piano was, and even describing some pretty art nearby and having my friend touch certain elements of it etc). but this is like, not uncommon and it’s gross.
so yeah, it’s unfortunate that it even needs to be said but uhhhh talk to disabled people like they’re people.
As some of you may have heard, I am having a very difficult time this year with being unable to work. I’m almost 9 months pregnant, and have been working my entire life, until this month. Things all around me are completely falling apart. Asking for real help is so embarrassing to me, but sometimes you have too. I unfortunately don’t qualify for food stamps until after my baby comes in a couple of weeks. Things are going to get better for my situation, once I have some major medical bills taken care of, but they are currently taking over all my income. I’m not asking for much, to be honest. If anyone could help share this, or even donate a little to help my family this month, It would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to donate, please message me throughout the day and I’ll give you a pendulum reading, A pendulum reading can only be a yes or no questions, and I would need some basic information regarding the questions Feel free to message me with any questions on any of this, and I will answer with an open heart.
“In today’s unanimous decision, the Tennessee Supreme Court explained that, under state law, a life sentence is a determinate sentence of 60 years,” the court wrote. “However, the sixty-year sentence can be reduced by up to 15 percent, or 9 years, by earning various sentence credits (good behavior. & getting involved in prison based education programs while incarcerated) Therefore, the Supreme Court concluded that a defendant serving a life sentence for a first-degree murder committed on or after July 1, 1995, may be eligible for release after serving at least 51 years of the sentence.“
For those of you who haven’t yet caught up to this story:
Cyntoia Brown was a 16 yr old girl, who at the time of the incident was living in a room at a Nashville InTown Suites with Allen (the man who propositioned her for sex) because her pimp and boyfriend Garion McGlothen, nick-named “Kut Throat,” insisted that she needed to earn money.
After Allen took her to his house, he showed Cyntoia multiple guns, including shotguns and rifles. Later in bed, as she described in court, he grabbed her violently by the genitals, his demeanor became threatening and, fearing for her life, she took a gun out of her purse and shot him.
Call Governor Bill Haslam (615)-741-2001. she has a Clemency hearing May 23rd. DEMAND JUSTICE!!
#StayWoke
The parole board split on whether Cyntoia should be granted clemency. /BillHaslam can still grant her clemency before he leaves in January. You can reach him at: phone #: (615) 741-2001; e-mail: bill.haslam@tn.gov
You can really tell who’s never experienced poverty and food insecurity when it comes to discussions around food costs and how unhealthy food is cheaper. Some fucker always comes in with the price of like… lettuce or… apples. And it’s like yeah bitch but can you work an 11 hour shift after eating some salad and an apple!?! Find me something cheaper, and more filling than the broke ass staples of boxed mac and cheese, hot dogs, noodles, bread, beans, and rice. I’ll wait.
It also ignores the mental toll that poverty takes like maybe your home made veggie filled recipe isn’t crazy expensive but it also involves prep time and cooking time and organization in terms of fresh food that a lotta poor people can’t manage.
Not to mention if you can only afford to get to the store once every couple weeks via bus or cab then you can’t keep fresh veg on deck.
Early this morning my brother in law (who’s black) got pulled over by Las Vegas Metro. They accused him of having just committed an assault, so they arrested him. They took him to the jail where they then slammed him to the ground, breaking a disc in his neck. They then had to admit they didn’t have ANY proof against him, so they finally took him to the hospital. Racist ass evil as fuck cops at it again. Las Vegas’ “finest” 🙄🙄🙄 fuck off with your “blue lives matter” bull shit
My name is Yves, I’m a trans guy, and I have severe PTSD, and am chronically ill (rare blood clotting disease, and an autoimmune deficiency disorder), I suffer with severe chronic pain, I’m also disabled, and because of all of this I NEED my medication to survive
I’m not getting the medical treatment I need and have limited access. My health is failing and it’s taking a toll on my body.
I’m trying to move to Colorado to escape (my abuser and stalker that I have really traumatic history with. Violence and assaults) I’m stuck in my hometown right now in northern MN.
Where I’m at right now IS NOT safe for me. My friend in Colorado has a place that I can move into ASAP, I just need first and last months rent. I have to move this month or she has to find a different roommate because of her own financial situation, so this is my chance!!
I NEED to move to Colorado for better access to health care, and for my own safety.. This is vital for my health (mentally and physically).
I appreciate anything and everything! If half of you donated 10$ I’d be okay. If you consider yourself an ally to trans ppl, disabled ppl, chronically ill ppl, SW’s, Survivors, indigenous ppl, please boost this.
If you have any questions, I’ll answer them.
If you donate, message me so I can thank you personally!!
some people who are ill and/or disabled CANNOT DO WHATEVER THEY SET THEIR MIND ON! some people are LIMITED by their bodies and their health and they are UNABLE to “"just choose”“ to do something! you can’t STOP being disabled by DECIDING to have a ”“good attitude”“! I am PREVENTED from doing whatever I want because I am D I S A B L E D!!
I would super appreciate it if healthy/abled people reblogged this post, because when people say these things it is so harmful to disabled, chronically ill, and mentally ill people
also! saying “I can’t do this because im disabled” is NOT “negative self-talk” or a “bad attitude”!!
Just like you saying, “I cannot fly because i don’t have functional wings or teleporation abilities” is not negative self talk. Me saying “I cannot run because i don’t have functional hip, knee and ankle joints or a heart that like cardio at all” is not negative self talk
