@Khaled_Da_Juice @IlhanMN@DallasPD @ChiefHallDPD Police don’t even call them rubber bullets. That term is copaganda made up to euphemize what they actually do. They’re 40mm less-lethal rubber baton rounds. They have a 3% fatality rate and a 15% rate of permanently disabling victims.
Normalise asking children for consent to touch them. Whether it is a hug, a kiss, an arm rub. Ask for consent. Teach them from a young age that they have autonomy over their personal space and they have a right to be upset if it is violated.
Against advice of public health experts Abbott reopened too soon, put Texans in harm’s way (especially African Americans, Latinos & low-wage workers), won’t let cities manage increased health risk by requiring masks & now blames young people for record level of hospitalizations.
So before addressing sexual consent, we must discuss how to respect people’s decisions even in non-sexual spaces, because if one cannot give or seek consent in non-sexual spaces, there’s very little chance that they will be able to in a sexual space where the risks are higher.
This is the most devastating political ad I’ve seen in years. It reveals the truth about Trump and China, and that truth is ugly.

Black Americans are dying from #COVID19 at disproportionate rates. That stems from historic inequality — hundreds of U.S. cities, and health systems, remain effectively segregated.
In DC, where Black + white populations are about equal, Black deaths outnumber white deaths by 2X.
