Luis Moux, an 18-year-old high school football player has been charged with killing his mother’s abusive ex-boyfriend. Luis Moux fatally choked his mother’s 43-year-old attacker, Stanley Washington, when he showed up at their apartment in the Bronx and began fighting with her around on Monday August 14, 2017.

Washington first started squabbling with Moux’s mother, Lorena Sesma, 37, in the hallway of the building before following the woman inside the apartment, where he began beating her, police said.

Luis Moux, who heard the commotion from his bedroom, came running to his mother’s aid and saw Washington on top of her. Quickly going to his mother defense the teen began fighting Washington and over powered him wrapping his arm around Washington’s neck as he tried to pull the brute off his mother. Washington died at some point during the scuffle. Washington also has a long criminal history that includes 33 prior arrests that included domestic violence.

Yesterday, police charged Moux with manslaughter.

Luis Moux should not spend his life in prison or ONE DAY in prison for that matter due to defending his mother who could have been killed from her attacker. Luis reacted as any of us would have protecting his mother in the midst of her being physically hurt and beaten.

Moux attends high school at Grand Street Campus in Brooklyn, and is a star athlete. Neighbors and friends state he is a very quiet, humble teen who loves football, stays to himself and has never been in trouble.

We are asking that ALL CHARGES be dropped for Luis Moux and we stand with him in his fight for freedom.

Advocate,

Monique Santiago

Washington State Won’t Discriminate ~ Seth Kirby,

08/27/2017 Nativegrl77

Friends: The bad news that we’ve feared for weeks has finally come down,

President Trump just submitted an official memo directing the Pentagon to bar transgender Americans from serving in the US Military.

I know this decision is devastating for all of our transgender friends and neighbors, especially those currently serving our country with honor. Because the truth is, it isn’t really about the military, or the budget—at its core, this order and all the other recent attacks are about writing transgender people out of existence.

Have hope though, Friends I-1552 was also an attempt by national opponents of transgender equality to write us out of existence, and we beat them—because fair-minded Washingtonians like you stood up for what’s right.

Today, I’m asking you to stand up again for our transgender friends and neighbors. Send a message to your members of Congress urging them to take immediate action to protect transgender servicemembers from the Trump Administration’s attacks.

Here’s another story of hope: When the shocking tweets announcing the ban hit the web one month ago, more than 5,000 Washingtonians immediately emailed their members of Congress to let them know that these attacks against transgender American heroes were absolutely unacceptable. Consequently, both Republican and Democratic members of Congress strongly condemned these attacks on transgender troops.

In the following weeks, lawmakers and policymakers within the Department of Defense continued to rally around transgender servicemembers, because that’s what’s best for our armed forces, and that’s what transgender servicemembers deserve.

This ban isn’t necessary, it isn’t popular, and it isn’t right—and it’s something Congress MUST take action against.

Send a message to your members of Congress now urging them to push back on this ban and protect transgender servicemembers.

Thank you,

Seth Kirby,
Campaign Chair

a message from Ruben Gallego -racism,neo-nazis& arpaio

08/27/2017 Nativegrl77

This was a cowardly act to appease the same racists who applauded Trump for defending Neo-Nazis after Charlottesville and for threatening to shutdown the federal government to build a wasteful and pointless border wall.

I’ve been fighting Arpaio for years. He’s the worst of the worst.

For those who don’t know him, here are a few facts:

1. He illegally targeted and harassed Latinos with raids designed to terrorize a community

2. He refused to investigate more than 400 sex crimes, some against children

3. He ran a prison that he described as a “concentration camp”

4. He spent state time and resources investigating President Obama’s birth certificate

5. He once staged an assassination attempt against himself so that he could get more TV coverage

6. After a federal judge confirmed that he had been illegally profiling Latinos, Arpaio hired a private investigator to dig into the life of both that judge and his wife

And you know what’s truly crazy? None of those things are what Arpaio was finally convicted for!!!

The law finally caught up with Arpaio after he lied to a federal judge and disobeyed an order from that judge — that’s how he was convicted of contempt.

I’m angry about this. I’m sad about this. And I’m fearful of what this could mean for the future.

But mostly, I want to make sure Democrats take back the House so we can put a real check on Trump.

Chip in to my campaign and I’ll spend the money boosting Democrats in key districts >>

We’ve got to take back the House. Help me do it.

In solidarity,

Ruben
