Thanks to @jessjoho & @mashable for this lovely profile & interview about Truer Crime!! We talked about the line between education and exploitation, the "girlboss-ification" of true crime, why I don't feel like comedy belongs in the genre, & tons more. https://t.co/vmYu8Eiy1v

this article is good. It’s what I encounter with friends and family, that they are supposed the believe that the government cares about their health and safety, when they live in neglected neighborhoods, are subject to police violence, healthcare not great, etc. why trust a shot?

I need art for my classroom to…

- show different cultures in the Twin Cities, especially—but not exclusively—Somali and Oromo

- hype academic disciplines (bio, history, physics, math etc)

- represent social justice movements

I teach 5th grade. Please share any ideas. Thanks!

Deona Marie would be alive right now if police had actually been committed to protecting and serving Minneapolis.

Stop believing police can be reformed. Only community can save us.

A thread I wrote reflecting on my experience as someone who is both a crime victim and a police and prison abolitionist.

[Truer Crime Podcast @TruerCrimePod]

Despite the mountain of evidence in my case and the fact that my financial advisor plead guilty to his crimes, the system had little more than prison time to offer. And instead, It’s been my community whose showed up.

[Truer Crime Podcast @TruerCrimePod]

I think abolition is believing that victims deserve so much more than the system is willing to offer. I guess I’m just not content with scraps — not for myself, not for anyone else, either.

[Truer Crime Podcast @TruerCrimePod]

I think sometimes folks believe that abolitionists don’t care about victims, that folks who wants to get rid of police and prisons want to abandon justice and accountability. And honestly, nothing could be further from the truth.

[Truer Crime Podcast @TruerCrimePod]

I laughed reading it. Simplify my life for awhile? Eat healthy? Think about things that give me hope? Really!? This was not support — it was a series of action steps. Actions they clearly weren’t interested in *actually helping* me achieve.

[Truer Crime Podcast @TruerCrimePod]

When I was defrauded of my life savings this past winter, the support I received to help me navigate such a traumatic situation *did not* come from the government. In fact, this brochure was basically the extent of the state’s “help”.

After marching down Lake to Lyndale, a couple hundred protesters in Minneapolis have turned around heading back towards where Winston Smith was killed by police. Chanting names of those harmed by police violence.
