@wojespn Lakers now have three of the top 10 lottery picks of the 2019 draft (#s 8, 9, & 10) on their team! In a draft that saw Zion and JA go #1 & #2. 😳
Nearly nine-in-ten Black adults say policing (87%), the courts and judicial process (86%), and the prison system (86%) require major changes or need to be completely rebuilt for Black people to be treated fairly. https://t.co/dtFkEUrbYt
DPW issued the following press release and map. Impacted residents are advised to boil water for one minute.
I am continuing to press them for more information.
Police in Columbus, Ohio shot and killed an unarmed black man who was laying in bed today. They shot him within one second of opening the bedroom door. His name Donovan Lewis.
@JamesDerouselle Exactly!!! And for folks foolish enough to think this is a good idea, please stop and consider the disproportionate rate at which Black and Brown students are vicioulsy assaulted or violently dealt with by educators due to policies and practices that are "school safety tools!"
As we look for solutions, this is important. Because over and over - from Parkland to El Paso to Dayton to Uvalde - armed personnel on site couldn't stop mass shooters who only needed minutes for mass slaughter.
Many thanks to @blackgirlsvote for this honor. I’m grateful for the ability to serve in ways that honor my foremothers, while setting an example for my children 🙏🏾 #InternationalWomensDay
@RealDaniel24@rweingarten@BeckyPringle And...it's these adults in some places that act like they can continue to harm and brutalize Black students, youth and children. One of the main reasons corporal punishment in schools needs to be eliminated. Couldn't have been my child...Period! Harm continues to be rewarded! SMH
If the student had struck the teacher, cop & cuffs; teacher - pity & pension. #doublestandards @rweingarten @BeckyPringle IJS 🤷🏾♂️ https://t.co/Wx3UOIWg8g
“keeping students in schools is critical,” yet the U.S. continues to uphold policies that disproportionately removes Black & Brown students, youth and children, including students with Disabilities and LGBTQ+ students from schools. #SOTU2022
Continued use of failed racist polies, practices & strategies is problematic! Defund is not the issue nor why seats will be lost. We are tired of being killed & oppressed. Think beyond policing Black & Brown communities; & address adverse social & economic conditions. #SOTU2022
So this Admin is doubling down on putting more law enforcement in Black communities to harm, brutalize, kill & surveil them without an accountability structure in place or the political will & appetite to actually hold law enforcement accountable? Make it Make Sense. #SOTU2022
Ppl may not want to address this, but I wonder how long will we allow Black communities & people to be uplifted only to be torn down, victimized & stripped of our humanity through a cyclical pattern of policing & political violence. Tonight is history repeating itself. #SOTU2022
