The city of Philadelphia will pay $2 million to a Black woman who was pulled from a car, beaten by officers and had her toddler used for social media fodder by the police union, officials said.

Nursing aide Rickia Young was headed home in the early morning hours of Oct. 27, 2020, when she unknowingly drove into a large protest over the police killing of Walter Wallace Jr.

She tried to make a three-point turn to get away from the tense scene when officers smashed out her windows with their batons, according to her attorneys.

Young was handcuffed and separated from her teenage nephew and 2-year-old son for several hours, and no one was ever charged or cited, according to the woman’s lawyer. The hearing-impaired toddler lost his hearing aids during the tussle.

The Fraternal Order of Police, the nation’s largest police labor union, posted a Facebook picture two days later showing Young’s toddler in the arms of a Philadelphia police officer just after the incident.

I get jealous really easily but not like an angry vengeful jealous more like a really sad lonely jealous because everybody likes everybody more than they like me and I really really don’t blame them. 

people really just read books like “no thoughts head empty 🤪”

save for yourself and for future generations

👏Stop 👏 Spreading 👏 Identifying 👏 Information 👏 About 👏 Protesters 👏 Online 👏

“say their names! make them heroes!” Why? So the cops can more easily find them and arrest them? So more people can vanish off the streets without a trace?? We are living in the age of mass surveillance. Stop making the job of cops more easy. Do not post the faces or identifying markers of protesters. Blur them out. Protect them. You can celebrate their actions while still keeping them safe. 

um.

i really didn't want to make this post, i hate asking for help, i hate being vulnerable, and above all, i hate feeling like i am not enough.

hi everyone. i'm bones, and i have not had health insurance since January, 2022. my forms were mailed to an address i haven't occupied since 2018, and after repeatedly calling the state's insurance marketplace multiple times, i was told "your forms are coming. be patient." by the end of the month, they still had not arrived. i couldn't pay my initial premium without my forms, and being that they never arrived, i was in a catch 22.

i called again. "just wait! we'll re-send them." they sent them to another old address, despite me updating it on the phone TWICE.

by the end of the month, my coverage had been cut off. "well, why didn't you pay?!" was the answer i was given. i've spent the last four months trying to get my coverage reinstated, only to continually be told it was my own fault for not paying--even though they're the ones that made it impossible for me to do so. finally, they said i was welcome to reapply--the only catch being that they want me to pay $800 for the months I received no coverage.

yes, you read that right. Blue Cross Blue Shield is requiring me to pay them for FOUR MONTHS OF COVERAGE I DIDN'T HAVE.

i'm at the end of my rope. i haven't had my medication, gone to therapy, treated my endometriosis, adhd, or bpd, for four months. my mental health is in absolute shambles, i'm having pain flares every week, and now i have to find almost a grand somewhere just so that i can continue getting the care i need.

on top of everything, my fiance and i are now going to have to postpone or cancel our wedding entirely to pay for this. we were already on a shoestring budget for the ceremony as things were, and now it looks like my wedding will just be the two of us signing paperwork in the city hall parking lot.

if you're able and want to help, my paypal is paypal.me/boxofbones. thank you for even reading this rambling mess. ❤️
