PHOENIX AND WILLIAM LIVE FROM GRAND RAPIDS MICHIGAN.

SWOP Behind Bars uses a harm reduction framework to offer various resources, community-building projects, educational programs, and advocacy to end violence and stigma against sex workers in the criminal justice system.  This includes those currently incarcerated and those seeking re-entry services.

Just months after Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a new bill prohibiting gay couples from adopting, the state is getting a new foster care organization exclusively serving LGBTQ+ homeless youth.

True You TN is in the beginning stages of opening, having just acquired their 501(c)3 and preparing to fundraise. The group, founded by Executive Director Stephanie Lowe, will build a group home for LGBTQ+ teens and youth and recently moved into their first office space.

True You will be the first group home to serve exclusively LGBTQ+ youth in the state, working to help the nearly 40 percent of homeless youth who identify as queer. Lowe said her own past drove her to create the organization, and although she has reconciled with her family, her coming out at 30 years old didn’t go as planned.

Chelsey Sprengeler writes:

Last month, some of us were given flack for questioning the “defund police” movement. Our suspicion was that liberals that have no interest in changing the racist system at large (particularly white liberals who have such a large stake in it) have ulterior motives in focusing on police *only*.

We predicted the growth of privatized police force would be the backhanded result of defunding public police because the powerful institutions supporting “defunding” have no interest in allowing the private and non-profit sectors to be separated from the enforcement arm of this capitalist system. The bar will be set even lower for accountability from police, in that case.

And here we are.

“It sounds like you’re getting rid of the police and you’re hiring your own private security force. So what we’re about to have is a bunch of [George] Zimmermans walking around making sure our little Trayvon Martins don’t get out of line,” said Whittier Elementary associate educator Rajel Johnson, who is also the father of a Whittier second-grader.

In an opening statement, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum asked for "extraordinary relief'' from the court, saying, "these actions if not restrained will further escalate. They are in fact escalating." Though the federal officers are ostensibly protecting public property, they must stop pursuing "peaceful unarmed citizens through city streets," using unlawful tactics to intimidate protesters, she said

It seems like such a simple question: How hot is Earth going to get? Yet for 40 years, climate scientists have repeated the same unsatisfying answer: If humans double atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from preindustrial levels, the planet will eventually warm between 1.5°C and 4.5°C—a temperature range that encompasses everything from a merely troubling rise to a catastrophic one.

A group of women banded together to form a human wall to protect protesters from federal officers in Portland over the weekend. There have been 52 days and nights of protests since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, which have turned violent after federal authorities have been sent in earlier this month.

Hey gang. We have the headline story along with some QAnon folks, Jesse Lee Peterson and Napolotono on Fox News.

Hey gang. 

I'm not to big on Kanye West and when he says words about things. 

But we found this one to be worth mentioning.  

There are some other stories to mention and we get it popping.  Particularly with this pig that made someone lick a urinal in a public bathroom. 

Bastard only got 4 years. 

He should have been fucking killed.  Piece of shit.  And as per usual, we tangent.

Hey gang. 

So it looks there are some details to story of a murder that make it most likely unrelated to Epstein. 

Phoenix Calida goes through it and yet again we are covering a Mens' Rights Activist on the program.
