allonsyforever:

BLM organizers and protesters like Imani chose to *put their lives on the line* to ensure that violence did not break out in Boston today. As she so eloquently said, she would not have received the same treatment at a white supremacist rally – because they are advocates for violence and chaos.

While it may seem counter-intuitive to some to help white supremacists and alt-right protesters get to safety, it was ultimately a measure to prevent violence from happening and I think this story clearly illustrates that. None of the thousands of counter-protesters were hurt and no major riots or violence broke out. That is partly in thanks to the Boston police, and partly in thanks to protesters and organizers, which shouldn’t be forgotten, especially since Donald Trump has already lied and said that “many anti-police agitators” were in Boston today. That is simply not true.

Let’s remember that BLM and other organizers were the ones trying to help to keep this event safe and nonviolent. There is no such thing as the “alt-left.” These protesters are out here doing the right thing.

Please help me escape my abusive relationship for good

If you’ve been following me for a while, you more than likely know what’s going on, but for those who don’t know: I’ve been in an extremely toxic, abusive relationship for the past 6 ½ years with my son’s father. We have a 3 year old together. While I did leave him last year, I (stupidly) came back in March under the promises of “things would change” etc etc. He has been emotionally, verbally, physically, sexually, and financially abusive. I am cooperating with the state in applying for all kinds of state assistance I am eligible for. I have an apartment and have our most basic needs covered. I need help with covering rent at the end of the month as I can’t do it by myself (my rent is $936), I have no consistent means of transportation (there is no bus/public transit in the city I live in) and I really realllyyy don’t want to have to allow my abuser into my home just to help cover these bills. I can manage on my own, but I need help getting on my feet and establishing my independence in the time being.

Any resources, encouraging words (I have virtually no support system), or other help is so much appreciated.

BOOOOOOST

Bringing this back, with an update: I wasn’t able to survive on my own so I had to let him in. Lo and behold the abuse continues. Today he punched a hole in the bedroom door. My dad is going to cosign for a new apartment for me back in my hometown, as long as I cover the costs he is going to help me move. I’ve already got a rental application submitted. I’m done I’m leaving I’m OUT. I have tangible proof and I can break the lease without repercussions through the domestic violence clause in the lease.

I just need help with the intial moving costs and initial housing costs- the apartment I applied for is $645 a month, security deposit same amount. First months rent and security deposit due at lease signing. Moving costs are around $400 (it’s a 300 mile move so it gets expensive fast)
