The 2024 #election is going to be wildly #transphobic.
#Fascist #Republicans are already signaling that #attacking #trans #people will be one of their top #issues.
— It's time to send as many #republicans as possible home for good! So them that Americans reject their culture of hate and bigotry.

"According to research published in 2021 by the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, “homicide during #pregnancy or within 42 days of the end of pregnancy exceeded all the leading causes of #MaternalMortality by more than twofold.”
In a 2014 study published by BioMed Central, physical #violence decreased when #women had access to abortions and increased when women were denied them."

In the early hours of May 14, Indigenous chief Lúcio Tembé was shot by two gunmen on an unpaved road in Brazil’s northern Pará state, Indigenous leaders say.
This is the latest episode of violence in an area facing an outbreak of land conflicts between a major palm oil company and local communities, the so-called “palm oil war,” as reported on by Mongabay since October.

Police violence in Germany is mostly male and more often goes unpunished, research project finds
"Most of those affected suffered police violence in various forms, with almost two-thirds reporting beatings as well as punches. At football matches and other large-scale events, the police used pepper spray to a similar extent. Outside of such major events, 62 per cent of those affected complain of inappropriate restraints and fixations. 19 per cent of all respondents report serious injuries, including to joints and sensory organs. The more severe the injuries, the more severe the psychological consequences were, they added. 16 percent of the participants refer to a migration background. Most of the cases involving this group of people occurred during police checks and conflicts to which officers were called.
In interviews, some of the police officers also admit to the existence of unauthorised means of intervention. „We have self-turned, what are they called, like Japanese massage sticks,“ reports a police executive. Attached to a ribbon in the sleeve, the device, built by a colleague with a talent for handicrafts, was used in unobserved moments to inflict great pain on certain parts of the victims‘ bodies."

#Gun #violence is now the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States.
Yet over and over, people told me they *needed their guns to keep themselves safe*.
#Safe from what? Most couldn’t answer; they simply had a feeling that the world had become a more dangerous place.
How would they use their guns in a crisis? Their confidence in their own abilities seemed inflated.
This manifested in the constant invocation of the word “#tactical” — a gun-industry buzzword used to suggest that buyers of weapons, body armor and shooting courses will be able to engage with enemies like trained soldiers. In other words, a #fantasy.

"That is the dangerous message being sent recently by the GOP governors of Texas and Florida who have very publicly spoken out in support of defendants who have literally killed people and Donald Trump’s defense of the Jan 6 terrorists at last week’s CNN Town Hall."

"We are seeing a very alarming pattern emerge where some of the GOP’s best known figures are increasingly defending killers and terrorists. And the reason why is simple: These Republican leaders believe it helps them politically."

I’ve been in #GunViolence prevention work for the past four years.
Before that I spent my entire adult life working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
I have a lot of experience thinking and talking about #violence.
But this lately? Totally overwhelming amount of violence. Can’t even begin to process it.

At the heart of the strangling of Jordan Neely, a homeless Black man, on a New York F-train in full view of other passengers, Elie Mystal says, is this:
"We leave people struggling with mental illness or addiction to fend for themselves on the streets, but then carry out entire administrative campaigns to keep them from being seen in our public spaces."
