Federal orders attempting to erase Transgender people are proving detrimental to our existence. The fascist state is legitimizing hostility towards Transgender people, and Black trans people are being disproportionately impacted.

A Black Trans man’s life was stolen. Yet again, the Black Transgender community is calling for justice because a precious life was taken heinously. First, we saw that Sam was missing; 72 hours later, the sad news came out that he was tortured and killed in Upstate New York.

The DA’s office and state police released a joint statement that there is an ongoing investigation but there is no indication of a hate crime. We know his death was a hate crime. The fascist state does not get to determine that for us. What is justice for Sam Nordquist?

Sam enjoyed making friends and used social media platforms to make friends. His mother said all he wanted was to be loved. He traveled for love and was tortured to death in such a vile and hateful way. Our heart is with his family, those who love him, and those who grew to know his name through the violent way his life was taken. ❤️

In loving Memory, Rest in Power Sam

“He would give you the shirt off his back,” Sam Nordquist's mother Linda told the local news.
