Can you chip in $10-20 today? >> https://t.co/QuDQsprkA2

Tennessee Republicans attempt to crucify democracy has resurrected it in the form of mass movement led by young people. That’s what gives me hope.

If they vote to expel @Justinjpearson after not expelling Rep.Gloria Johnson we know even more clearly it’s whiteness that saved her and affirms what we already know, white supremacy is alive and well in Tennessee. #TenneseeThree

@brotherjones_ Justin Jones just preached a John year Maundy Thurs sermon on the TN statehouse floor. Like verbatim. He is overturning the tables in slow motion with gorgeous political rhetoric. My Lord. Thank you.

@TennesseeThree These foks in Knox, Davidson, & Shelby Co voted for y'all w hope u would disrupt the status quo. I have friends in all 3 who would be happy to testify to this. If their reps are expelled, I think citizens of the 3 counties will have legal standing to overturn it.

Here's my semi-regular reminder that the US Constitution allows for the impeachment of Supreme Court justices.

And a lovely CO sunset from @ibechowen, whom you can follow on Instagram.

@FondduLacBish8 I love that they all have chapels, or quiet rooms. All. Of. Them.

This is Preston Hemphill. Detective Hemphill is named in the affidavit as having deployed his taser. He’s 26, born in July 1996. He needs to be charged accordingly for his part of contributing to Tyre Nichols being murdered. Notice the Apple Watch in both pictures..same band.

"The police traumatise us because they know they're going to get away with it."

People are 'exhausted' of experiencing the same cycle of trauma without 'real action,' says @AmberSherman_ , member of the Memphis chapter of Black Lives Matter tells @AlexisConran

They just disbanded the SCORPION unit.
Protest and People power work.
Now answer ALL the demands.

[Maurice Moe Mitchell 🐺 @MauriceWFP]

Charging or jailing the killers is not enough. Justice is changing the conditions so no-one dies during a traffic stop.

Policing is fundamentally broken. Trading white officers for Black ones was never a solution.

If we're serious about public safety, we'll fund our communities

I had forgotten about this story and just how horrible @MEM_PoliceDept surveillance has been. Grateful to @alicesperi for bearing witness to this institutional oppression. #JusticeForTyre https://t.co/5TVHEoep5U

The rage of Memphians is deep, but focused.

This wasn't a mob. This was a strategy. #JusticeforTyreNichols https://t.co/Nw1qBYKoiq

[Wendi C. Thomas @wendi_c_thomas]

You can't put the killing of Tyre Nichols in context if you don't know about the Kendrick consent decree, @MEM_PoliceDept's black list, the 2016 bridge protest and how @MemphisMayor Strickland’s rhetoric mirrors Trump.
