More than a dozen teen girls gone missing raising fear in the community.

Every other week one or more girls just vanished off the streets and people are scared about their loved ones. Most of the girls are colored and this raises even more questions.

Police says that it might be a 

forced prostitution.

Six of the teens were reported missing this month alone, including two who vanished June 23.

The list of missing girls released Wednesday by Councilman Andy King is long enough to fill the roster of a softball team.

1)15-year-old Karla Gros

2)

Sierra Rivera, 14, who was last seen on June 2 near White Plains Road.

3)

Ashley Bissal, 16, was last seen on June 23, leaving her Grand Concourse apartment.

4)

Emily Arroyo, 15, has been missing since April 26, when she was supposed to come home from a juvenile program on Bergen Ave.

5)

Jada Jordan, 12, was last seen about 8:30 a.m. on March 23 inside Bronx-Manhattan Seventh Day Adventist School on 1440 Plimpton Ave. in Mount Eden, police said.

6)

Miracle Mann was last seen at 3:15 p.m. on June, 23, 2016 leaving her residence.

7)

i’m done with the discourse

I actually agree. Although the attack was on LGBTs, in other instances, the attacker could just be mentally ill or just want to kill someone. It all depends.

man: *kills multiple people in a gay bar after being enraged by seeing gay people kiss*
you: it was not necessarily homophobic tho 🙂

and during pride no less

“LGBTs”

“could just be mentally ill” too, omg
fuck offfffffff

information about this horrific shooting

readingatthedisco:

what happened?

Omar Mateen acted alone in shooting over 100 people at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida at 2am Sunday morning

Omar had a 3 hour standoff with police, and was eventually shot dead

50 were killed, 53 were injured

this is the worst mass shooting America has seen

this is the worst act of terrorism since 9/11

police say Omar was organized and well prepared

he was armed with an assault rifle, a handgun and an unspecified “device”

this was an act of terror and hate

things to remember.

it was latin night last night at Pulse

the night was being hosted by trans women of color

-do not erase the fact that this was a hate crime against people in the lgbt+ community

-be respectful to the families affected by this tragedy

-some people could have been outed if they were killed or injured

Omar’s father has stated that Omar was indeed homophobic and became angry after seeing two men kissing

this shooting had nothing to do with religion

here are some tweets about this tragedy from various people

-support everyone in this time of need. please

-there have been threats on other places such as the LA pride parade. please be careful.

But she’s getting those (tv) votes in the polls…hm

YOUR VOTE STILL MATTERS

me-aprincess-shut-up:

Clinton currently has 1,807 pledged delegates who are pledged and an assumed 548 superdelegates. If the superdelegates stay with her, she would be at 2,313. Sanders has 1,517 pledged delegates and 46 assumed superdelegates, for a total of 1,563. The media has been saying that they will deem the democratic nominee after NJ’s votes are in Tuesday. This is not accurate of the facts.

The majority of the media is forgetting to mention that Clinton and Sanders are 290 delegates separating them because superdelegates are assumed, not fact.

Pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today’s California Presidential Primary. Your vote determines the pledged delegates.

Tuesday, June 7th, is a huge primary day.

IF YOU LIVE IN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING STATES AND ARE A DEMOCRAT, YOUR VOTES TRULY MATTER!

California – 475 pledge delegates, 73 superdelegates.
Montana – 21 pledge delegates, 6 superdelegates
North Dakota – 18 pledge delegates, 5 superdelegates
New Jersey – 126 pledge delegates, 12 superdelegates.
New Mexico – 34 pledge delegates, 9 superdelegates
South Dakota – 20 pledge delegates, 5 superdelegates

Your vote matters and your voice matters. 

GO VOTE.

When you teach your daughter, explicitly or by passive rejection, that she must ignore her outrage, that she must be kind and accepting to the point of not defending herself or other people, that she must not rock the boat for any reason, you are not strengthening her prosocial sense, you are damaging it—and the first person she will stop protecting is herself.

Kentucky Justice Secretary: “Gynnya McMillen deserved better.”

The Kentucky State Medical Examiner has ruled that Gynnya, who died on January 11 at

the Lincoln Village Juvenile Detention Center, Elizabethtown, had a rare genetic disorder that caused an irregular heartbeat. However an internal investigation found a pattern of employee misconduct, as the victim was refused medical assistance. 

Almost 5 months later, the head of the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet said that Gynnya McMillen should not have been at the facility in the first place.

Unfortunately this can’t bring Gynnya back to life. She’s gone forever because of someone’s negligence. The least that could be done is firing and charging people who were involved in her death!

Indeed….  What can’t all lives matter…  

“all lives” yes, of course that’s what we would want at the end of the day, but you’re missing the point.

muslim lives and black lives are mentioned specifically because those groups are consistently devalued as human beings. to need to say “but other lives matter too!” is detracting from that racism and islamophobia that needs to be addressed.

if everyone is on an equal level to begin with– with no institutionalized racism, etc– then yes, great, that’s where everyone is valued… but when some people are on higher pedestals due to their background, we have to *acknowledge* and *support* those on lower levels to reach an even level of respect– a true equality.

so yes, raise up the groups that experience racism and islamophobia. black lives MATTER. muslim lives MATTER.
