@maggiejk Also, let's not forget the slow death of Linda Tirado, a journalist.
One can't help but notice the fascists keep targeting women with their violence...

Wow, Linda is "back", sort of! While I knew she now ALSO has Alzheimer's/Dementia in addition to blind in one eye from a police "rubber bullet", I last read from several friends of hers that she really needed contributions because her ability to survive was dimming quite fast. So this new essay just dropped and I read it fast. She had not posted for many months. Don't know how, it happened but this piece is cogent and most excellent, recommended reading. #LindaTirado https://substack.com/@lindatirado/note/p-152024606?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=2263j
I’m devastated. Linda was a tireless voice for the underdog, the poor, the forgotten. #LindaTirado
@blogdiva I couldn’t figure out your link; so I looked up the news. Indeed, the police killed #LindaTirado
So those 'non-lethal' rounds are lethal, they just take a few years to kill you, but kill you they will.
A slow death, like the sort a fascist would take pleasure from
A U.S. journalist shot by police while covering the 2020 protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis is dying of her injuries.
NPR reports a "nonlethal" foam plastic bullet hit Linda Tirado, 42, in the eye — even though she was wearing protective goggles and press credentials. "While we she has battled, her condition has continued to worsen to the point she is at life's end and receiving palliative care," the National Press Club said in a statement.

In 2020 photojournalist Linda Tirado lost an eye when police shot her with a "rubber" bullet. Today she's dying in hospice due to complications of being shot in the eye.
She's asked for two things:
1. That you send donations to help costs of dying, see below
2. That you attend city council meetings and hold your local politicians to as much accountability as we can.
