🏳️‍🌈 Ruth Ellis (1899 - 2000) was the daughter of former slaves. She came out as a lesbian when she was 16-years-old to the complete acceptance of her family. In 1937, Ruth and her longtime partner moved to Detroit from their hometown of Springfield, Illinois for the promise of higher wages. There, she became the first woman in Michigan to run her own printing business. She printed fliers, posters, and stationary in the front room of her home, which also quickly became a hotspot for Black LGBTQ social life. Before long, Ruth was helping those who came around in any way she could, including by paying for college tuitions. After the Stonewall uprising, 70-year-old Ruth began giving speeches in support of gay and lesbian rights all across the country. She remained an activist for the rest of her long life and even spent her 100th birthday leading the San Francisco Dyke March. At the time of her death at 101, she was recognized as the oldest out lesbian in the US. She is the subject of the documentary "Living With Pride: Ruth C. Ellis @ 100" and is the namesake of the Ruth Ellis Center, a shelter for homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth in Detroit.

Celebrate Ruth Ellis.

some abortion organizations, funds, and resources. the leaked draft opinion does not officially overturn roe v. wade/enact trigger laws yet, but a public ruling by the supreme court is highly likely

To find a clinic:

Right now, and for a “limited time,” anyone in the United States between the age of 13 and 21 can apply for a free Brooklyn Public Library eCard, which gives access to 350,000 eBooks, 200,000 audiobooks, and online databases. (Normally, Brooklyn Public Library eCards are only free for people who live and/or work in New York state.)

again, israeli soldiers have invaded and launched brutal attacks against muslims worshipping inside the al-aqsa mosque - injuring children, women, and elderly with live bullets, tear gas, and grenades at innocent civilians worshipping in peace

every single ramadan this happens. every single year.

for those who aren’t muslim, please understand the significance of the timing and location. the al-aqsa mosque is one of the most holy sites in islam, and it’s currently ramadan, the holiest month of the year. it is intentional.

and this isn’t even getting into how many innocents have been killed since ramadan began, including children, elderly, and a disabled widow who supported her six children, now orphaned

i pray for a day when our holiest sites are respected and protected, and i pray for a day when the oppressed can spend their holiest days in peace and safety. i pray for an end to the occupation and it’s evil.

I genuinely don’t have the words to describe how horrible the situation is in Palestine. They’re killing people left and right. Every single day.

Like every time someone posts about a murder, i just don’t have the time to type something about it before a new murder is recorded. 4 Palestinians were murdered today. Including a 14 years old boy.

I’m not mentioning the people being shot. I’m not mentioning the arrests. The raids. The people put under administrative detention.

I’m not mentioning the way zionist extremists want to slaughter animals inside Al Aqsa mosque, and are giving rewards for those who do it, just to piss off muslim Palestinians during the most holy month of the year.

I have the tv on right now and I feel like I’m watching a war. It’s absolutely horrible. It just has a lot less media coverage than last year. Palestinians were already speaking about a huge possibility of a third Intifadah but now ? Genuinely if in the next few days the occupation keeps doing the sh*t they’re doing they’re the only ones who take responsibility for the consequences.

And this is not only about the past period of time. This has been going on for over 70 years.

You take a people’s land. Displace thousands. You murder them. Kill their men women and children. Like it’s nothing to you. Like they’re just numbers. You bomb them in an open air prison every couple years. You deny them water, medical care, you deny them from living in their homeland, and treat them like strangers in it. This was all gonna blow up in your faces one day. The occupation is the root of all violence. They’re the only terrorists here.

There is a genocide happening in broad day light. Pure and simple.

Resistance until freedom. By all means necessary.

Free Palestine
