Police can’t see I’m Deafblind. Frankly, many wouldn’t care. 30 to 50% of the lives extinguished by police were disabled black & brown people. If you believe #BlackDisabledLivesMatter, add your name to create a bold new solution #DefundThePolice action.aclu.org/petition/div…

things that have been denied by the laws of white supremacy. The LGBTQ community must “come out” and break the silence to stand in solidarity with ALL who are oppressed. NONE OF US CAN TOLERATE WHITE EXCUSES AND BLAMING BLACK LIVES ANY LONGER! #BLACKLIVESMATTER!! /5

before them, is not “real.” Their oppression is diminished, rendered invisible, and their rage is judged as misplaced. “After all, it’s time to move on!” As rage erupts into violence, I am deeply moved by the courage required to take back the power to resist and change /4

been oppressed and dehumanized by white dominant culture for centuries! People who have lived their entire lives knowing no peace, no justice, as they are reminded innumerable times each day that their lived experience of oppression, and that of generations of ancestors /3

These familiar chants resounding from downtown Detroit and around the nation, cut to the core of my being in a new and deeper way. The passion, the pain, the justified rage pouring out of the souls shouting these demands conjured up the cries of black and brown people who have /2

in an attempt to disperse crowds, #DavidMcAtee, a louisville bbq chef known for serving cops free meals, was shot and killed by the police last night. he was unarmed. not only were the officers’ bodycams off, but they also left his body on the street for 12 hours. say his name.

1/ Trump wasn't "urging" anything in Feb, other than "this will go away." 2/ Burr is the INTELLIGENCE CHAIR. He knew damn well what was going on. 3/ Rather than warning Americans about COVID, Burr quietly sold stock in things he knew would tank, like hotels/resorts. #traitor
