Not Guilty.

A South Carolina jury just acquitted the store owner Chikei Rick Chow, who chased and fatally shot 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton in the back over the suspected theft of 4 water bottles.

This moment takes me back. Back to Natasha Harlan in Los Angeles. Back to Trayvon Martin. These names are not anomalies. They are a pattern. A pattern the courts have repeatedly refused to interrupt.

The justice system was designed to serve as a buffer. To keep communities from seeking justice on their own. We are told to trust the process. We are told to let the courts handle it. We comply. We grieve. We organize. We wait.

And then the system fails our babies. Again.

When courts consistently refuse to hold those who kill our children accountable, they don’t eliminate the human impulse toward justice. They simply force us to confront an uncomfortable question: what are we supposed to do?

Humanity has always answered that question eventually.

We will continue to fight through every legal avenue available. But we must be honest about what this verdict means and what it demands of all of us.

Say his name.

Cyrus Carmack-Belton.

The Shelby (NC) Police Department officer captured on doorbell camera punching a woman during an arrest has been fired. While termination for this officer's actions is an important step, it does not erase what the community witnessed! No one should have to fear excessive force at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve.

Hey MAGA Texans.

Let me introduce you to Adam Hoffman. He raped his son’s best friend from the age of six years old to nine years old. For three years this man raped a little boy.

Paxton made sure his buddy only got a 60 day sentence. Oh wait it gets better, he didn't even serve the full sixty days.

Wait wait, it's gets even better. He doesn't have to register as a sex offender and his record has been wiped clean.

MAGA maniacs want women to go to prison for miscarriages but are cool with pedophiles going free.

Ken Paxton is a disgusting criminal, that's why Trump endorsed him.

Make sure you have a plan to vote. @jamestalarico is what Texas needs. Not more of the Epstein Class.

Adam Hoffman raped his son’s best friend for 3 years

First-degree felony. Life without parole.

Ken Paxton’s office gutted it to 60 days. He walked free after 30.

No sex offender registration. His record scrubbed clean.
Texas protects predators with power!

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior."

Hoffman is the 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender. A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He got out in 30 days.

This is MAGA's vision for the USA. Full story: https://t.co/cU1WnZKAfr

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

On August 6, 1965, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law as my father looked on. It was not a gift. It was the result of sacrifice, courage, organizing, and nonviolent struggle.

I believe my father would be deeply troubled by the ongoing efforts to weaken voting rights and make fair representation harder to secure. But I also believe he would not want us to surrender to frustration or despair.

We have work to do. We must organize with discipline, demand new voting rights protections, and continue pressing toward a democracy where every voice is valued and every vote is protected.

A friendly reminder that the people who:
•banned Black people from reparations, schools, military, GI bill, & FHA loans
•who lynched & are now locking Latinos into putrid concentration camps
•who locked Japanese people into camps & banned all Asian immigration
•who broke every single treaty with Native Americans while committing genocide
•And who are now gutting laws that helped counter that harm & passing laws to ban teaching that history...
They want you to stop making everything about race.😐

Quote of the day 👇

[Doug Jones @DougJones]

Charging the Southern Poverty Law Center with a federal crime for paying informants to help dismantle hate groups is an outrageous weaponization of the Dept of Justice and the FBI. As someone who has been a prosecutor and has taken on the Klan I can tell you that use of paid informants is a common tactic used to dismantle drug cartels, the mob and extremist groups on both the right and the left. It is clear that all civil rights organizations are in the cross hairs of this Administration and that folks, puts everyone at risk.

On this day in 1873, a mob of hundreds of armed white men attacked the Grant Parish courthouse in Colfax, Louisiana, killing an estimated 150 Black people, many of whom were trying to flee.

On this day in 1911, President William Howard Taft expelled Black soldiers from San Antonio because local officials claimed they threatened “law and order” by protesting Jim Crow laws.

This is Henry Walter Wooten, who is serving 35 years in Texas for possessing 100g of weed, but this "pastor" pedophile who abused a 12-year-old girl was released after serving 6 months in Texas. This is what institutional racism is.
