ALT(image id in alt text)
its a new month and we still need help lol! i started a part time job because we simply are not able to make enough from crowdfunding to pay our bills and expenses, but i dont get paid from said job till this upcoming friday. i never even got close to raising the money i needed for rent at my other place, and i still have a mountain of expenses i need to catch up on. anything ppl can spare helps a ton, but i need $50 yo buy some of my wife and i's medications that arent covered by insurance, and i would like to raise at least $100 to pick up things to help me get thru working without completely obliterating our body. funds can be sent directly or thru ko-fi, we also have a patreon and two wishlists with stuff we need. thanks so much!
![Twitter thread by Richard Medhurst [THREAD: I've been observing the French press and public opinion for the past days. Explainer on the situation in France: Richard Medhurst @richi... Police shot a 17yo driver, known as Nahel M (or Naël) Initially, officers claimed the driver rammed them. A video filmed by a bystander showed this to be untrue: two police officers aim their guns at Nael's head, then shoot him at point blank range, after starting his engine. Richard Medhurst: The boy's crime: driving without a license. Lies were spread on TV and social media about him having a criminal record. This is completely false, Nahel's record is completely clean. Richard Medhurst President Macron called the killing "inexcusable". Police received unusually harsh criticism from a good chunk of politicians (but not all). French actor Omar Sy, and footballer Mbappé commented, conveying their sympathies. [Screenshot of tweet by Kylian Mbappé @KMbappe: J'ai mal à ma France. Une situation inacceptable. Tout mes pensées vont pour la famille et les proches de Nael, ce petit ange parti beaucoup trop tôt.

![Richard Medhurst The police officer who shot Nahel has been detained and charged with voluntary manslaughter. The lawyer for Nahel's family also wants to charge him for lying in his initial testimony, and to charge the second officer as an accomplice to the killing. Richard Medhurst: First angle of the incident, this is the one that most people have seen. [embedded video] You can hear one officer say "I'm going to put a bullet in your head" (je vais te mettre une balle dans la tête) Then the second officer says "shoot!"](https://64.media.tumblr.com/494a93ad168ec96639358380f4a4816f/e72bcd3371f985d6-40/s1280x1920/03be1f1c6349428594c3fb0d9e2cf6b5aa0a6029.jpg)
