Good time to remind people that Black people are 7.5x more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder than Whites, and that risk is even greater when the victim is White
67 year old Kenneth Williams Sr was fatally shot last Friday in Gary by police officers and Lake County, Indiana sheriff’s deputies while working a security guard shift near City Hall.
Our elder was a security guard for over 10 years and those cowards emptied their magazines, murdering him on his son’s birthday. Over 100 shots were fired.
JUSTICE FOR KENNETH WILLIAMS SR!
A US federal court just ruled that clean water isn't a human right in the Constitution.
Residents in Jackson, Mississippi tried suing the government over lead-contaminated water, but the suit has been dismissed due to this ruling.
Two white men started firing at Byrd and Roberts, they returned fire killing one and wounding the other. The two Black men get arrested.
This is America.
NEW: As of this morning, there were roughly 50,000 residents in Memphis, a 62% Black city, without power.
The same story is playing out in Gary, Indiana, a city that is 76% Black, where thousands have now gone nearly two weeks without power.

“We’re the Blackest city out here, so they don’t want to check on us.”
More than 20,000 residents in Gary, Indiana have been without power for almost two weeks after massive storms tore through the area, knocking down trees and power lines.
NIPSCO is the only energy provider in the area, and they reported more than a half a billion dollars in profit in the first half of 2026.
“We don’t pay, we get cut off. But when disaster happens, they want to charge us. They have billions of dollars, we’re working day-to-day.”
Gary residents are banding together to provide for each other amidst the blackouts, providing community meals and phone charging stations at community centers.
On Tuesday in NYC, a man repeatedly stabbed a woman in her head and body in front her child after she continually turned down his sexual advances.
Police have not arrested him because they have not yet established probably cause.

Black people are being forced into unemployment + homelessness as states create new crime bills. Black cities are overrun by militarized police and military murdering people on US soil. And Black people are being hung from trees between TikToks going “white people like rap too!”
Liberals convinced people talking about race and racism was tired, “uncool”, and a barrier to progress and we were better off performing like we live in a post-racial society as conservatives accelerated Black and indigenous genocide.
Just looked into this and this specific guy was arrested for possession by a crooked cop and got a *25y sentence* that he served 6yrs of before the cop was arrested for a no knock raid and the state started reviewing all his previous arrests. This is why crime stats are cooked
Police shot and killed a one-year-old Black boy in Mississippi 2 months ago and nothing has been done about it. They have not released the officer’s name, details of the shooting or body cams and no charges were filed. They killed Kohen Wiley and are moving like nothing happened.
The Hinds County Coroner’s Office identified 29-year-old Tasia Fortune as the woman who was found hanging in a tree behind a vacant home in Jackson, Mississippi on Aug. 3. https://t.co/MnMyX9baFB
"A ceasefire that leaves an average of one child dead each and every day is failing children," - @UNICEFmena Regional Director Edouard Beigbeder. "With hundreds more children injured, many severely, children in Gaza are still waiting for the end to the violence they were promised."

There's been so many cops busted using Flock camera's to stalk people in just the past 6 months alone. That's just the ones who've been caught doing it too. It needs to be banned US wide.
Black people, many teens, are being lynched (and I'm including deaths and violent attacks like what happened to Nolan Wells) all across the US and they're either being automatically dismissed as "suicides" by the cops, or barely investigated by them and the media.
Police in Wisconsin used Flock to track a man who traveled to Michigan, where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisc., where it is illegal
They then used his travel as part of the probable cause justification to search his car for weed and he was arrested https://t.co/RYD9y6rp7h
The biggest mass funeral in Gaza was held this week for 112 people (including 44 children) that were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential block in 2023.
Their bodies were only recently recovered from the rubble in an operation that spanned across two weeks.
The fact that drone operators can make out the hairstyles of their victims before firing is an extremely haunting thought, given how many children have been hit with drone strikes in Gaza and Lebanon.
Some person saw the child and pressed fire anyway.
