Hey folks, Mark from Queens and I have been discussing a possible C99 meetup at the Philly convention, thinking that a lot of C99ers might be attending.
If you are going to Philly and are interested in a C99 meetup, please use the comment section to discuss when you'll be there and when would be convenient for all of us to meet.
The plans to set us up for repression at the Philadelphia convention are all too transparent. Nevada was a first step. Having been a movement leader in 1968 I can see the similarities in the oligarchy's strategies but there are huge differences in the context.
Short and sweet, cuz lunchtime is almost over, but I had to post this. The way it's reported seems....intriguing to me:
Maya's Facebook page said that she was originally from Vineland, NJ and attended Buena Regional High School in Atlantic County. But by 2012 the 25-year-old was living in Philadelphia.
Close friends describe her as a 'truly a funny girl who was mad REAL and LOYAL.
Incoming Mayor Jim Kenney has denounced the Mummers group Finnegan's Wake for its attack on the transgender community...and specifically Kaitlyn Jenner.
Kenney called the signs carried "bad" and "hurtful" and said that the Philadelphia transgender community did not deserve "that form of satire."
Diamond Williams was murdered in 2013, then dismembered and dumped in a field in North Philly.
Charles Sargent used a hatchet and screw driver to cut her up before throwing her away. He goes on trial next year for the murder.
Helen Ubiñas writes at philly.com that Diamond's journey at long last is nearing an end.
Kiesha Jenkins lived in North Philadelphia. At Oh-Dark-Thirty Tuesday morning, Keisha got a ride from someone to Hunting Park in Logan.
Upon exiting the vehicle Keisha was surrounded by five or six men who proceeded to beat her. Then one of the men took out a gun and shot her twice in the back.
When police arrived, they rushed Keisha to a hospital, where she was later declared dead.
The twenty-two year old transgender woman is the twentieth transgender woman in the US known to have been murdered this year.
Right now we don't have any motive. We don't know if it's potentially a hate crime or if it was a robbery. We really don't know. It's too early in the investigation to tell.
