Our hope is that this verdict will be a small step towards accountability. But that’s just about accountability, not justice.

For us, justice would be George Floyd alive today.

[Touré @Toure]

Even if Chauvin is found guilty, the police violence against Black people problem is still unsolved. There’s nothing preventing another George Floyd incident from happening tomorrow.

I think I may know why white people are so upset about this Dr. Seuss/cancel culture thing. I was reminded of this story today.

It goes back to the second-most devastating day of my life:

The day I found out the Hardy Boys were white.

On Monday, I was arrested at Garrett’s memorial site for respecting my best friend’s autonomy and refusing to push her wheelchair without her consent. I was arrested for “Whitney being disrespectful”. She wanted a banner demanding justice for Garrett back that an officer stole.

@flyhighwithmex3 @_CooLDP @surelynotanna Sorry last thing, in case you’ve never been been interviewed by the news, they only take whatever quotes they feel like- often out of context- to write the story they want to tell. There are good media outlets, but even those do not post 100% of what someone says or does.

[Little Petal @LittlePetal_]

@flyhighwithmex3 @_CooLDP @surelynotanna There is actually one interview he did in i think it was September after police shoved and threw a woman to the ground twice and smashed her phone, but the media put the interpreter on the news instead of Cesar because they’re ableist fuckheads.

@flyhighwithmex3 @_CooLDP @surelynotanna And lastly- I dont know what else to tell you about his protective gear. Protesting in TX where white nationalists regularly counter protest while holding guns, threatening us, driving cars into us, and where one murdered one us of has caused us to wear gear. In June we didn’t (6

[Little Petal @LittlePetal_]

@flyhighwithmex3 @_CooLDP @surelynotanna He didn’t want to break the law so he didn’t go in the Capitol... idk what needs explaining about that? It was tempting to go in because it was right there, not guarded for reasons that bewildered him. Hes been beaten and seen our protest family beaten and arrested for months (5)

[Little Petal @LittlePetal_]

@flyhighwithmex3 @_CooLDP @surelynotanna Cases dropped from showing police brutality. I’ve also seen countless conversations on his page where he has completely altered how people view what is happening- from telling him not to go out (where every time he says he HAS to fight for Black lives) to now agreeing with him 3

[Little Petal @LittlePetal_]

@flyhighwithmex3 @_CooLDP @surelynotanna The public who does not go to the protests only sees what is happening through the people who livestream (which there are many discussions about the benefits vs risks of). His page is set to private to lower the chances of incriminating protesters, but he’s been able to help (2)

[Little Petal @LittlePetal_]

@flyhighwithmex3 @_CooLDP @surelynotanna Thank you for apologizing for spreading misinformation in regards to neutrality. I do not know anything about the daily moth or why they did not contact him earlier for an interview. The media typically does not come out to Austin protests unless something major happens, so (1)

[Little Petal @LittlePetal_]

@_CooLDP @CommonD37950170 He literally constantly discusses that Hispanic people need to be out protesting for Black lives. Its reaaaalllly suspicious that Greta deleted my tweets instead of holding herself accountable or looking into stuff. But if y’all ever want to chat with Cesar, Im sure he would. 🤷‍♀️

[Little Petal @LittlePetal_]

@_CooLDP @flyhighwithmex3 @surelynotanna Yea... we all know that about staying neutral. Neither of you has stated why you believe he’s neutral though when every action of his is to address accountability (or rather the lack thereof) to police brutality. It’s the whole purpose of his streaming.

[Little Petal @LittlePetal_]

@flyhighwithmex3 @_CooLDP @surelynotanna “Austin I feel that people of color are not getting equal treatment. There was white privilege. They got away with it. Black people suffer more. It’s just not the same. One group gets beaten up, but the other doesn’t. It confuses me.” Is there a reason you feel he’s neutral? 2/2
