My sister had a dear friend who was murdered years ago. In Hollywood CA. She was trans.
My sister was heartbroken & shared her story with me. She told me that she honors her birthday even after death. Her murder was never solved & we believe that the police didn’t really try… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵 Jackson Mississippi’s lead poisoning is worse than Flint’s! And the boil water notices are compounding the problem. #SaveMississippi
