Do yall know what’s going down in Bangladesh? It’s all over the news but if you don’t know, lemme explain:
Basically the government sucks and no one in this country follows any traffic rules, or laws for that matter. People paid to get drivers licenses without going through driving school, and most of them have no morals or patience once their vehicles hit the roads. It’s all ME FIRST. So obviously, there are a lot of road accidents per day across the country, amongst other things.
Now a few days ago there was an accident where a bus went to overtake another bus recklessly, and hit a group of students waiting by the side of the road in the process. At least 7 were killed, but the media announced 2 casualties.
The students have had enough.
For the last 5 days there have been protests all over Dhaka city, mainly in school/college areas. Students dressed in uniform, wearing IDs, chanting “We want justice!!” while parading the streets, that THEY CLEARED.
Yup. Since the law enforcers, police and traffic police can’t do their jobs right, these students of various institutions have taken matters into their own hands. They are taking on the role of traffic police, separating different vehicles into different lanes, and checking each vehicle for the legal documents and actual licenses. Some police officers and ministers didn’t have licenses, and the public knows now.
The students even made a separate emergency lane!! Half of my friends didn’t even know such a thing existed. That puts this country’s usual situation into perspective.
These kids are the heroes we need.
For the first time in many years, the roads have been clear with little road jam.
Except, this is a fight for rights against the government. We want to be able to walk to school or wherever we’re going in safety, without the fear that one random driver will take our life. Apparently that basic need is too much to ask.
Right now, there’s word that members of a bigshot political party are going to take to the streets tomorrow, to beat up protestors; girls and boys alike, of my age who are fighting for this noble cause.
It’s unfair.
I’m praying that they all stay safe, because this protest? It’s hella justified. Although 97% of this country is corrupted, it’s nice to see these people making an effort to change the twisted ways that have somehow become the norm. We’re on internaltional news right now, and maybe in the future, the country might get better.
Please, REBLOG, if you think it’s not a sexual preference. Pedophilia will be never be a part of LGBT+ community. It is a sexual disorder. Uncontested
sexual behavior cannot be a preference, despite whatever “fetish” one
has. If someone gets turned on at the idea of someone who is helpless or
doesn’t want them, they need mental help. Period.
Nabra, 17 years old, was walking to a mosque before she was murdered…Police think that she was most likely beaten to death with a bat, and I think that the motive behind this is Islamophobia. This isn’t getting enough media attention, but the least when can do is hope that the sick fuck who did this gets life in prison. #JusticeForNabra
HB2796 is an absolutely blatant attempt to strip away the civil rights of transgender people; and it’s absolutely fucking terrifying.
Quoting the official summary of HB2796:
This bill prohibits the word “sex” or “gender” from being interpreted to mean “gender identity,” and requires “man” or “woman” to be interpreted to refer exclusively to a person’s genetic sex, for purposes determining the meaning of federal civil rights laws or related federal administrative agency regulations or guidance. No federal civil rights law shall be interpreted to treat gender identity or transgender status as a protected class, unless it expressly designates “gender identity” or “transgender status” as a protected class.
HB2796 is currently with the Republican-majority House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice. Please, PLEASE–especially if you’re cisgender, and doubly if you’re one of their constituents–call the Representatives on the committee and explain just how much damage this will do, how many lives it will destroy, and how many legislative careers (hopefully) hinge on its passage or failure.
Committee members are:
Chairman Steve King (R-IA-04; King is also one of HB2796′s sponsors) - (202) 225-4426
Vice Chairman Ron DeSantis (R-FL-06) - (202) 225-2706
Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ-08; Franks is also one of HB2796’s sponsors) - (202) 225-4576
(Note - Listed phone numbers are for DC offices only, but links go to pages with both district and federal office information, as well as additional avenues of contact.)
Once more for the weekday / West coast crowd.
OP back, with a few additional notes:
If you’re not getting answers at the numbers listed above, the representatives’ names link to info on additional ways to contact them.
Contact your own representatives, too, and make sure they’re aware of the bill and that it’s important to their constituents.
On one hand: yeah, this is probably junk legislation. Handel attempted to pass a similar amendment to the military appropriations bill and failed, then immediately introduced HB2796 in response. On the other hand: With the current political climate and an administration that gives no shits about constitutional rights, I’m not willing to gamble on that; and furthermore, it’s a goddamn unconscionable piece of legislation whether or not it’s expected to pass.
Let your elected representatives know that trans lives and dignity matter to American voters. Please.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A transgender woman is recovering from serious injuries after she was attacked in a west Charlotte park last week.
Federal authorities confirmed Monday that they are working with Charlotte-Mecklenburg police as the department investigates the attack.
“I really felt like I was dying slow,” said the 24-year-old, who is known as Ralayzia. She spoke with Channel 9 via video call on the condition that her face was not shown.
Ralayzia said she was at Clanton Park, near Clanton Road and West Boulevard, around 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 7 when she saw a group of people walking past.
“They stopped one time, you know, and just looked at me kind of funny, so I already knew maybe I need to move or something,” she said.
funny how you pedophile sympathizer freaks arw leaving out the fact he was attacked was because the child victim he raped got revenge and attacked him. fuck you guys
doesn’t make her a man 0_o
im not going to use child rapists preferred pronouns
This man was literally arrested and charged with statutory sexual assault (so you know… rape) afterwards. Fuck everyone who is on this pedophile’s side. He wasn’t attacked for being trans, he was attacked because he raped a kid.
Terfs are so good at picking and choosing what info they want.
No, don’t have sex with kids, but Ralayzia was paid (in either drugs or cash) to give him a blow job. there’s no indication she knew he was underage at the time, there’s every indication he got embarrassed about having gotten a bj from a trans woman, and told his friends she was trans so they would attack her. Much like Gwen Araujo was murdered for men being attracted to her trans body.
but sure, sure, limit information to suit your own vicious vile little agenda. not transparent at all.
man *waking up from 7 year coma*: doctor.. please… may you update me on what is going on in the news… what has happened while i was asleep doctor: for your own good we’re putting you back into the coma
