I’m sure these images hit different now. Black communities have been warning about this for years. Non-violent people being attacked and murdered by law enforcement. Unjustly.
Trayvon Martin. George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Atatiana Jefferson. Ahmaud Arbery. Keith Porter. Silverio Villegas González . Alex Pretti. Renee Good. And so many others. Whether they were holding Skittles, a phone, playing a video game, peacefully protesting for your rights, or just going for a walk in their neighborhood, they were unjustifiably killed while posing no violent threat to law enforcement.
What we’ve been fighting against for decades is now happening across all communities. It’s bigger than us now. When we said reform the system, we were protecting everyone from unchecked power and zero accountability.
Maybe now people will understand why we’ve been demanding change. This fight was never just about Black lives. It was always about justice for all.
We demand accountability. We demand change. For all of us. Rest in power to every life lost.
An elected official was attacked because of the climate created by Donald Trump. The shift from Reagan's era, where leaders at least feigned humanity, to today's ugliness is alarming.
Bobcat crews are still out breaking up heavy ice on top of snow where large trucks can’t operate. We’re responding to 311 requests and will keep working until the job is done. Thanks for the patience and grace, Baltimore.

ICE Kidnapped 17 year old Target Employee and U.S. Citizen Jonathan Garcia.
ICE physically beat Jonathan and drove him 8 miles from where they abducted him,
And threw Jonathan from the vehicle.
This is how the U.S. Government treated an American citizen, a child.
Because of the color of his skin.
Fuck ICE,
Fuck Trump.
And Fuck All You Assholes who voted for Trump.
DAMN : ICE grabbed a 17yo Target worker at his job, despite him saying he’s a US citizen. After confirming he was, they dumped him in a Walmart lot 8 min away. Bystanders found him sobbing, bleeding: “They slammed me on the ground.”
