As #BreonnaTaylor showed us, no-knock warrants have deadly consequences for innocent law-abiding Black people! @MinneapolisPD executed a no-knock warrant yesterday at 6:48am, killing Amir Locke while he was wrapped in a blanket on the couch. Now we demand #JusticeForAmirLocke!!

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Amir Locke had barely opened his eyes when he was executed by a Minneapolis Police officer. He was 22 years old. And now, because of the violent, unchecked, and unreformed behavior of our city’s police, his life has been taken.

[Attorney General Keith Ellison @AGEllison]

Amir Locke's life mattered. He was only 22 years old and had his whole life ahead of him. His family and friends must now live the rest of their lives without him. (1/3)

I always wonder why is it so difficult for Z Habeshas to understand the Oromo pain, aspiration, and sense of humanity that they always determined to blackmail our struggle, identity & push us out of our land of origin? Where does their chronic hate & their chauvinism originate?

“This should not have been the price of Oromo’s peerless hospitality. It’s those whom we fed off our hands that turned around to bite us.” -#HacaaluuHundeessaa Always told truth. 😢

[Falmata B @BFalmata]

It is still hard to fathom that Haachaaluu is gone. His songs taught me about the complexity and power of Oromo politics. At his young age, he thought Millions of Oromo’s courage and bravery to demand respect. He will forever be missed. #HaacaaluuHundeessaa

"This is a song that enables the Oromo to imagine beyond the given-ness of present arrangements; a song that shows that the present is not inevitable, and that things could be different and better."

Candle vigil for Hacee RIP #HaacaaluuHundeessaa #OromoProtests

[Big Z @BigZpro]

It’s still hard to write R.I.P next to #HaacaaluuHunddeessaa ‘s name.

[Fatuma Bedhaso @FBedaso]

ALL of us felt the exact same way. I sat still for hours-not even able to cry. They traumatized us with every single action they have taken since the moment he was taken from us. It’s beyond cruel. We will persist because he would want us to.

Abiy's government must release Jawar Mohammed, Bekele Gerba, and others currently in detention. Over the last two years, his government made several strategic blunders, mismanaged the transition and wasted the massive opportunity he had for reconciliation and healing. 1/3

#HaacaaluuHunddeessaa is not buried in Finfinnee, but Finfinnee is forever buried in #HaacaaluuHunddeessaa. We all are #HaacaaluuHunddeessaa ✊🏾

[Toltu the Psychologist @ToltuTufa]

Why are American citizens Redwan Aman & Yusuf Beshir of Washington state being unlawfully detained by the Ethiopian government? @PattyMurray @SenatorCantwell - these are citizens of your state. Their right to consular assistance must be respected! #OromoProtests #OromoRevolution

[Toltu the Psychologist @ToltuTufa]

Opposition party leaders @Jawar_Mohammed & Bekele Gerba have been arrested arbitrarily and MUST be released immediately. #OromoProtests #FreeOromia

[Edao Dawano @EdaoDawano]

ETHIOPIA is where a National Hero gets assassinated in cold blood and his proper & respecful burial is made impossible. #HaacaaluHundeessaa
