I don’t normally post Twitter threads but the president of the United states called the Georgia Secretary of State to coerce him into “finding” the exact number of votes he needs to win the state. This confirms that Donald Trump truly believes he won the election, and that he is willing to break the law to stay in power

the collapse of an empire

tolerate it...it’s about loving someone more than they love you? about how you can give and give and give to someone and they’ll just take it- take you- in stride? and it doesn’t matter how hard you try, it doesn’t matter how many skies you paint or how hard you try to make them happy, you just can’t make yourself matter to them. and you know you deserve better. and you want better, but you want better from them and only them and they just won’t. they choose not to and you get to hold all your love, the love you wanted to give them, and slowly realize that their arms will never be able to hold all of you.

One detained woman compared her visit to the gynecologist to being raped. “I told him ‘no,’ but he kept going. ‘Relax,’ he told me.”  

Another woman was told she was going to be deported, just hours after talking with federal investigators about the medical treatment she received at Irwin County Detention Center, a privately-operated prison in Georgia now at the center of an investigation into women who say they experienced medical abuse while detained there.

A third woman said she went in for a toothache. She thought she was going to have two molars removed; when she woke up the dentist had removed six. During the three-hour car ride back to the detention center, with no medicine to numb the pain, she was spitting blood into her sweater.

These are among the declarations of 22 women, whose testimony was filed under seal Thursday afternoon as part of a lawsuit brought on behalf of a detainee named Yanira against the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. (The testimonies originally included 19 women’s statements and the lawyers later amended the total to 22.)

The women—two who provide their names and 20 identified as Jane Does—are alleging gross medical mistreatment at Irwin County Detention Center in Ocilla, Georgia and retaliation by ICE officers against detained women who spoke out. At least six have already been deported and seven more face imminent deportation, in what the women and their lawyers say is an effort to silence them.

I haven’t cried like this is a long time😢. Nigeria is burning.

Today, 10/20/2020 the Nigerian government sent the military to kill unarmed innocent civilians, a bloody massacre.

Every single drop of innocent Nigerian blood spilled will judge Buhari, Sanwo-Olu and Tinubu. They will never know peace. The blood of the innocent will curse them. They will suffer severely before they die.

Jefferson figuring out that his son is Spider-Man but instead of telling him “hey you blew your secret” and possibly freaking him out, starts quietly training him in correct police procedure (without him knowing) while also repeatedly talking about how he had issues with the old Spider-Man but the new one seems like a brave and responsible young man and how he would be totally proud of him if he were this guy’s parents

“In 1984, when Ruth Coker Burks was 25 and a young mother living in Arkansas, she would often visit a hospital to care for a friend with cancer.

During one visit, Ruth noticed the nurses would draw straws, afraid to go into one room, its door sealed by a big red bag. She asked why and the nurses told her the patient had AIDS.

On a repeat visit, and seeing the big red bag on the door, Ruth decided to disregard the warnings and sneaked into the room.

In the bed was a skeletal young man, who told Ruth he wanted to see his mother before he died. She left the room and told the nurses, who said, "Honey, his mother’s not coming. He’s been here six weeks. Nobody’s coming!”

Ruth called his mother anyway, who refused to come visit her son, who she described as a "sinner" and already dead to her, and that she wouldn't even claim his body when he died.

“I went back in his room and when I walked in, he said, "Oh, momma. I knew you’d come", and then he lifted his hand. And what was I going to do? So I took his hand. I said, "I’m here, honey. I’m here”, Ruth later recounted.

Ruth pulled a chair to his bedside, talked to him

and held his hand until he died 13 hours later.

After finally finding a funeral home that would his body, and paying for the cremation out of her own savings, Ruth buried his ashes on her family's large plot.

After this first encounter, Ruth cared for other patients. She would take them to appointments, obtain medications, apply for assistance, and even kept supplies of AIDS medications on hand, as some pharmacies would not carry them.

Ruth’s work soon became well known in the city and she received financial assistance from gay bars, "They would twirl up a drag show on Saturday night and here'd come the money. That's how we'd buy medicine, that's how we'd pay rent. If it hadn't been for the drag queens, I don't know what we would have done", Ruth said.

Over the next 30 years, Ruth cared for over 1,000 people and buried more than 40 on her family's plot most of whom were gay men whose families would not claim their ashes.

For this, Ruth has been nicknamed the 'Cemetery Angel'.”— by Ra-Ey Saley
