you cannot talk about the homophobic murder of jonathan joss without including in the conversation that he is indigenous.

american indian men are at the 2nd highest risk of death by murder compared to all other ethnic groups. in their lifetimes, 82% of native men report having experienced domestic violence. yet the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are non-natives (88% of native men and 92% of native women who reported violence said their attacker was non-native). what’s more, tribal governments are often stymied in their attempts to bring justice against non-natives, meaning that many of these cases go unresolved.

this was an intersectional attack. the fact that he is indigenous matters, even if the motivation was homophobic, because it made him even more vulnerable and disposable in the eyes of his killer.

as always, look into MMIWP to learn more, and speak up for us. miigwetch, take care

Above is the link to an audio file with Palestinian music, read-aloud poetry, storytelling, and excerpts from speeches on history and liberation. It was gathered by Radio Al Hara, an internet radio station broadcast from Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Amman in Jordan, founded during the pandemic as a way to connect during isolation. “Al Hara” means ​“the neighbourhood” in Arabic. From the river to the sea! 🇵🇸

reddit is hardly real life or anywhere close to it, but the top post in the St. Louis subreddit almost all day has been outrage over the fact that the god awful face eating leopard subreddit is saying St. Louis doesn't deserve federal aid for the tornado that wrecked half the city and should suffer for being in a red state. it's a small thing. but this is how blue no matter who liberals wind up slowly alienating large urban populations. it's only a matter of time before these people run out of urban areas that haven't been razed by disaster and suddenly they'll find themselves very outnumbered and on the wrong side of history. that is a dangerous place to exist.
