It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if

[Elijah @TheLoneGaffer]

Two years is far too long, but I am glad to see we are moving toward justice as the fight is still not over.

Elijah McClain should be alive today.

Columbus, Ohio cops have just shot and killed a 15-year-old Black teenage girl as the verdict was being read. https://t.co/Wr9OVk1vcr

Chauvin is the 7th on-duty cop to be convicted of murder since 2005, out of around 15,000 police killings in that time.

Today, justice was served for the Floyd family, but we still live in a nation clothed in injustice. True justice for Black Americans can only come through a complete revolution of values. We need an overhaul of systems deeply rooted in racism. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

Second-degree unintentional murder: Guilty,
Third-degree murder: Guilty.
Second-degree manslaughter: Guilty.

Good.

It would be really great if politicians would tell police not to riot tonight

[Chenjerai.bsky.social @catchatweetdown]

This is stressful but also interesting to see what different folk’s investments in this verdict are.

Unfortunately far too many folks are looking to this verdict to legitimate or redeem this system so they can hold on to some version of their belief in it.

all the “unamerican” violences sure do happen quite regularly in america

New: The sheriff's official who said the Atlanta spa shooter had "a bad day" shared an image of T-shirts that said "Covid 19 IMPORTED VIRUS FROM CHY-NA" on Facebook.

After @BuzzFeedNews asked about the shirt, the public post became unavailable.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Our immigration system is built on a carceral framework. It’s no accident that challenging how we approach both these issues are considered “controversial” stances.

They require reimagining our relationship to each other and challenging common assumptions we take for granted.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is not okay, never has been okay, never will be okay - no matter the administration or party.
