‘Facebook Memories: 12 Jun 2024 – Dominique Rem’mie Fells’
(12 Jun 2024)

Dear Reader:
Preface.
Suck is gone mad – touched mad – deleting posts throughout Faceplop, anything that presents ideology that he opposes.
Notice on posts at my Faceplop page that Suck deleted the URL links and posts that reference to my Faceplop page:
**
This content isn’t available right now
When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
**
**
Page not found.
The page you requested was not found.
**
Here are today’s Faceplop Memories of this date at prior years, with selected narrative.
Fear not, Dear Reader. I continue posting current original compositions – I have countless ideas about topics that I have never discussed here or not commented in depth. Posting these recent ‘Memories’ allows me to catch up to what past essays I missed posting here concurrent with Faceplop posts.
– Sharon

Welcome to Trump’s America.

The Trump movement has created an epidemic of fanatically self-righteous cheaters, liars and grifters
Jeremy Sherman, AlterNet
June 12, 2018, 1:43 PM ET
Here in the US, we’re suffering an epidemic of dishonest fake belief, promoted by the people who took over the conservative party. Just call yourself a Christian, a patriot, a True American and you can get away with anything. All the perks, none of the costs of actually behaving in accord with any kind of disciplined lifestyle – license to indulge from the moral high ground. Trump takes it to a new level.
Trump plays classic Western god – self-obsessed, petty, petulant, disappointed, vengeful, cliquish, devoted solely to building his fan club, chronically bitter about being under-appreciated. And most of his followers are typical dishonest fake believers. They love him because they want to be like him. Trump teaches that earning respect by being honest isn’t the only way. Fellow liars will respect you if you lie and always get away with it.
With dishonest false belief you get to swagger like the moral police without living by your proclaimed moral standards. You can claim the piety even as you cheat, lie and steal.
It’s a win-win for the false believer. Your supreme piety rationalizes acting like a pig. You’re free to cheat because you’re fighting on the side of the righteous. You feel both righteous and clever, saintly and sneaky. Smart because you embrace true virtue; smart because you know how to fight dirtier than your dumb opponents.
It’s more tawdry even than the 9-11 fundamentalists drinking and whoring before they suicide bombed the Twin Towers. As Susan Sontag dared to comment right after the bombing, it’s no good calling suicide bombers cowards. They made sacrifices. That’s a costly signal one can’t fake. Dishonest false belief is a better bargain than that.
In sum, three categories for fanatics:
True believers who really try to live by their principles.
Dishonest false believers who don’t try to live by their principles but pretend that they do.
Honest false believers who don’t try to live by their principles and admit it, not taking their beliefs seriously, while still going through the motions for ritualistic sake.

Dawn Farnham.
Another flip of political parties.
The Democratic Dixiecrats continued the ideology of the Confederacy – White supremacy – as presented by their foundation documents:
– Declaration of Independence of the Confederate States of Amerika
– Cornerstone Document
– Constitution of the Confederate States of Amerika.
These platforms are now the Republi-con Party ideology while the Democratic Party represents Freedom and Equality, fights against discrimination and bigotry, supports Voting Rights, Civil Rights, Constitutional Rights, Human Rights.

Black Transwoman Dominique “Rem’mie” Fells’ Body Found Dismembered In Philadelphia River
SUBMITTED BY TAKE OUT ON FRI, 06/12/2020 – 01:41
Editor’s note: We have got to do more to protect our black and brown transwomen. We are sick and tired of writing articles about their murders. We are sick and tired of them being misgendered in the news. We are tired of them being excluded from the black lives matter movement. We are tired of their murders going unsolved. We are tired of them being marginalized by society. All of us have to do better to provide safe spaces for our trans sisters to not just survive but to thrive. We are tired.
Tuesday police made a horrific discovery as a dismembered body of a black transwoman was pulled from the river with trauma to the face and head, legs severed mid thigh.
Philadelphia police are investigating after the dismembered body of a transwoman were found on the banks of the Schuylkill River on Monday night.
The discovery was made along the 3500 block of Schuylkill Avenue in the Bartram’s Gardens area just before 7 p.m.
Police said the transwoman was found face down and had both legs severed. They are looking into the possibility Fells’ legs were severed along train tracks.
“What’s unusual is that both of the victim’s legs were cut off at the upper thighs. The body also seems to have some trauma to the head and face,” said Chief Inspector Scott Small with the Philadelphia Police Department.
Authorities spent the next couple of days trying to positively ID the victim. Information was not released immediately in order to notify the family and loved ones. It has been ruled a murder and is being rigorously investigated. The victim, was later identified as Dominique “Rem’mie” Fells.
The Office of LGBT Affairs has released the following statement in response to the passing of a member of the city’s LGBTQ community, Dominique Rem’mie Fells:
“It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the recent passing of a member of our LGBTQ family. The pain of such a loss is always difficult, but it is especially deep as we are in the midst of Pride month—a season typically filled with joy and celebration for many in our community.
“As thousands take to the streets to proclaim that Black Lives Matter, it is critical we remember that this includes Black trans lives. Dominique Rem’mie Fells’ life mattered.
“We are reminded with this, and countless other painful losses—especially within our transgender communities—that there is much left to do until we achieve full equality, respect, and support for us all. The murder of transgender people—especially those of color—is truly an epidemic, and a crisis that we cannot afford to allow to persist any further.
“We are committed to ensuring that acts of discrimination, bigotry, and hatred are never tolerated in the city of Philadelphia. Know that we see you, we grieve with you, and we join you in solidarity at this time of great sadness.
“Please join the Office as we extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to the family and friends of Dominique Rem’mie. Let us uplift her memory together.”
Friends and activist took to twitter to pay condolences and express their frustration:

As thousands take to the streets to proclaim that #BlackLivesMatter, it’s critical we remember that this includes Black trans lives #SayHerNamehttps://www.phila.gov/2020-06-11-citys-office-of-lgbt-affairs-issues-statement-on-the-murder-of-dominique-remmie-fells/ …

Black trans women deserve so much better than this. She was somebody. And that’s all that it should take for you to be outraged. #BlackTransLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatter

CRIME
Two Black Transgender Women Were Killed This Week, When Will it End?
Dominique Rem’mie Fells of Philadelphia and Riah Milton of Liberty Township, Ohio, are the latest cases in a growing epidemic of Black trans homicides.
BY DAVID ARTAVIA
JUNE 12 2020 12:49 PM EDT
As the nation continues to demand action against white supremacy and police brutality, the recent deaths of two Black trans women are a disturbing reminder that we must stay vigilant to the growing violence against trans women of color.
Riah Milton of Liberty Township, Ohio, was shot and killed on Tuesday by three people who lured her into a park where she was ambushed and shot to death.
Three people have since been arrested in connection to her death.
Kaleb Marshall Tooson, 18, has since been charged with murder and aggravated robbery. Tyree Jeffery Cross, 25, currently has a warrant out for his arrest for Milton’s murder. A third assailant, an unidentified minor, was charged with complicity to aggravated robbery, murder, and tampering with evidence. He is currently being held by police.
“My dear sister Riah Milton passed away on June 9, 2020,” a friend wrote on a GoFundMe page set up to help pay for Milton’s funeral and other arrangements. “She was an amazing person who was loved by everyone. This Gofundme is to help with sending her home.”
A second victim, Dominique “Rem’mie” Fells, was found along the banks of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia earlier this week.
Reports state that Fells’s body sustained serious injuries to the head and face. Her legs were separate from her body and were not recovered at the scene or anywhere else.
According to Philadelphia Gay News, the manner in which her legs were severed suggest “they were run over by a train.”
“One more precious Black trans woman’s life has been violently taken,” Deja Lynn Alvarez, a trans woman and community organizer, told Philadelphia Gay News.
“As thousands take to the streets to proclaim that Black Lives Matter, it is critical we remember that this includes Black trans lives,” Celena Morrison, a Black trans woman who leads the city’s office of LGBTQ+ Affairs, said in a statement. “Dominique Rem’mie Fells’ life mattered. We are reminded with this, and countless other painful losses — especially within our transgender communities — that there is much left to do until we achieve full equality, respect, and support for us all. The murder of transgender people — especially those of color — is truly an epidemic and a crisis that we cannot afford to allow to persist any further. Let us uplift her memory together.”
Morrison and her team are currently organizing a virtual grieving session for community members.
Both Milton and Fells were deadnamed and misgendered in early reports by local outlets following the news of their deaths. Their deaths are the latest in an epidemic of violence against Black trans women.
According to a 2019 audit by the National Center for Transgender Equality called “Failing to Protect and Serve,” which reviewed the 25 largest police departments in the country, it’s evident that law enforcement in the United States is failing to protect transgender people.
A separate survey from the NCTE of over 28,000 respondents showed that nearly 57 percent of trans people were afraid to go to the police when they needed help. Furthermore, 58 percent of trans people who had interaction with authorities claimed to have experienced harassment, abuse, or other mistreatment, while 60 percent reported to being physically assaulted and 64 percent reported to being sexually assaulted.
“We must shine a bright line on the increasing level of violence face by transgender people, and particularly Black transgender women,” Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, deputy executive director for the National Center for Transgender Equality, said in a statement. “For every headline we see, we know that there are countless incidents of violence that go unreported because Black transgender people are afraid to go to the police. Dominique’s life mattered. Riah’s life mattered. We need to say their names and remember their lives.”
“Black transgender women live at the deadly intersection of transphobia, sexism and racism. Black lives matter. Black trans lives matter,” Heng-Lehtinen continued. “The police are failing Black transgender people. We must come together to enact meaningful reforms to ensure that transgender people can live their lives as they are without fear of violence in their communities or at the hands of the police.”

‘Pure Evil’: Report On Trump Administration Draining Fund For FDNY’s 9/11 Responders Draws Outrage

TOPLINE A New York Daily News scoop published Thursday revealed that the Trump administration has siphoned around $4 million from the New York City Fire Department’s fund for its September 11 first responders, drawing outrage on the 19th anniversary of the attacks, but the U.S. Treasury says the money was diverted because of “delinquent debt” owed by New York City to the federal government.

KEY FACTS
The funds are part of the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program, which was established by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, a bill passed by Congress that provides healthcare to first responders who have suffered a range of illnesses from exposure to dust and smoke at Ground Zero.
“TRUMP DOESN’T ONLY HATE VETERANS, HE HATES FIRST RESPONDER HEROES,” tweeted actress Debra Messing in reaction to the Daily News report.
Fred Guttenberg, father of Parkland school shooting victim Jamie Guttenberg, said he was “F—KING P—-ED” about the report, because his brother died of cancer from 9/11.
“From the administration whose identity is built on claims of honoring first responders,” Julie Cohen, director of the RBG documentary, wrote on Twitter.
“This doesn’t surprise me at all,” Army veteran and advocate Paul Rieckoff wrote on Twitter. “Trump did NOTHING to push for the extension of #Zadroga last year.”
“We are also working with Congressman King and others to examine any potential authorities to provide relief in this case to support our nation’s 9/11 heroes,” the Treasury spokesperson. told Forbes, but could not provide any examples of how they would do it, and did not have a timeline.
CRUCIAL QUOTE
“Here we have sick World Trade Center-exposed firefighters and EMS workers, at a time when the city is having difficult financial circumstances due to COVID-19, and we’re not getting the money we need to be able to treat these heroes,” FDNY Chief Medical Officer David Prezant told the Daily News.
CHIEF CRITIC
“Pure evil,” tweeted Dr. Dena Grayson, a medical expert who specializes in ebola and other viruses.
