vet bill was way way way way more than I was expecting and I was already expecting it to be a lot and luckily my grandma covered it but I need to pay her back by Tuesday and with rent coming up I know I’m not going to be able to make it so any help is really greatly appreciated.
An Indigenous Senator who is trying to change how perpetrators of violence against Indigenous women are sentenced in Canada says a soon to be released report shows that courts are more lenient to people who kill Indigenous women and girls than to those whose victims are not Indigenous.
Cree Senator Lillian Dyck shared some of the report’s findings with APTN News.
The co-authored paper analyzed data from around 800 cases involving violence against women between 1980 and 2013.
The cases were selected because they reveal the ethnicity of both the victim and the perpetrator, Dyck explained in a phone interview.
Among the researchers’ starkest findings is a disparity between the punishments for those who kill Indigenous women and those who kill non-Indigenous women.
“Even though with murder there is very little wiggle room [with convictions], we did find that if you looked at the type of convictions by the victim’s race, when it was an Indigenous victim most often it was second-degree murder or manslaughter. If it was a non-Indigenous victim it was more likely first or second-degree murder,” Dyck said.
First degree murder convictions are more likely to be given to those who killed a non-Indigenous woman–33 per cent–compared to perpetrators who killed an Indigenous woman, at 20 per cent.
For second degree murder convictions, the rates were 39 per cent in cases where the victim was Indigenous, versus 46 per cent when the victim was not Indigenous.
In contrast, the researchers found 39 per cent of manslaughter convictions in cases where the victim was Indigenous, versus 21 per cent when the victim was non-Indigenous.
Hey y’all, still trying to get on my feet here in AZ, in the meantime if anyone has some change to spare, I’ve been off of my prescriptions since like April just due to not being able to afford them while in Georgia.

If ya want to help me afford HRT, my paypal will be linke below, & basically Anything helps. (Revised Commissions post also coming soon)
you could curse a police officer out, kick their car, throw a temper tantrum and throw trash. and that still doesnt mean they get to kill you. what the fuck is wrong with yall? why do you think police get some special license to kill when they get disrespected?
if they cant do their job without murdering unarmed people, they dont deserve their badge, or anyones respect.
Except it isn’t always that simple.
Except it literally is. I deal with verbal and emotional abuse daily at my job. I get disrespected daily. I’ve had customers throw things at me. Not one of those situations have I ever felt the need to pull a gun on them and shoot them. In fact, I am expected to tolerate that kind of abuse with a smile and often times those people get rewarded for their behavior.
If a cop can’t deal with being disrespected without murdering people then they don’t need to be a fucking cop.
I’ve literally gotten death threats at my retail job bc men don’t like it when I don’t give them my cell phone # so I don’t really gaf about cops whining abt what they have to deal with
I’m doing sex work to make ends meet but a fucking client won’t pay me shit for my time rn and now I need help so I can pay for transportation to school, food, and etc bc I’m not getting paid from my main job until next Friday. PayPal: hasminae@gmail.com 💙 Venmo: Jasmine-Panaligan
