it is really withering to go from the murder of George Floyd + the uprisings of '20 to the apathy toward Kohen Wiley's murder in '26 - I guess that is the point of white supremacy, to wither our values and what u know is right, what u are willing to fight for, wither it into dust
Gary Tyler, a quilt artist who spent decades on death row for a crime he didn’t commit, now has his first solo exhibit at the Grand Rapids Art Museum https://t.co/Qo7ameqxCH
This is what happens when citizens in Utah County utilize their constitutionally protected right to protest Data Centers.
After showing up at a community meeting to speak out against Data Centers, cops swarmed a young woman, dragged her from the meeting, and slammed her to the ground, leaving her with a concussion. Now residents are demanding that Officer Phil Crawford be fired, arrested, and prosecuted.
So, residents tried to make their voices heard about a decision affecting their own community, and wind up hospitalized as a result.

American author Ursula K. Le Guin was born on this day in 1929.
“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings.”
Ron Latz has not yet commented on the President's racist and authoritarian campaign to strip citizenship from his neighbor and colleague Ilhan Omar, but he has found the time to condemn *her* for being near a podcaster he doesn't like. Glad he's got his priorities straight.
Mississippi has yet to release any support for its claim that a “thorough and impartial” review showed the shooting was “justified.” https://t.co/c0llCyuOSj
Black unemployment rate in Minnesota has hit double digitis 10.5%. “Being qualified for a job does not always mean having equal access to the opportunity,” Urban League Twin Cities Joi Jones said.

Minnesota law enforcement officials announce new strategy to allow for things like connecting spent bullet casings in one community to recovered guns in another — something you probably thought we'd been doing routinely since at least the mid-90s.
@UptownSpitMom Don't know much about Fielder and the clips I keep seeing insisting to me that he is hilarious and subversive, I am not convinced - feeling much like people insisting I lavish praise on The Holy Grail or learn every line of The Princess Bride, something is a little off for me.
“JUSTIFIED.”
That’s how Mississippi’s AG describes the use of force that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.
Kohen deserved to grow up. Black families deserve answers, not cover-ups. From Kohen to Nolan Wells, we cannot let Black lives be swept under the rug and normalize injustice.
