Reecey Walker, a 32 year-old transgender woman of color, was stabbed to death by a 16 year-old boy in Wichita on Sunday. The suspect is facing a charge of second-degree murder.
Police both dead-named and misgendered Walker, even though friends and family identified her as a transgender woman.
The suspect's family is alleging that Walker was attempting to sexually assault the teen. That's what happens when government officials paint us as sexual predators.

Play the Bernie Arcade Game!
Submitted by apples123 on Wed, 05/04/2016 - 10:59amHelp fight the oligarchal elite by playing this classic arcade game.

The point of the game is that you have to help Bernie catch the newspaper rollings in the sky to help spread his message of Democratic Socialism while avoiding, or even destroying, the Wall Street cronies (fat cats in the game).
