🇧🇯 Benin has a village where people travel almost entirely by canoe! 🛶🌊

In the country of Benin, the lakeside settlement of Ganvié is built on stilts above the water.

Residents use canoes like cars for daily life—going to school, shopping, fishing, and visiting neighbors all by boat.

The floating village was originally established centuries ago as a refuge from slave raiders who avoided entering the lake.

A place where the streets are waterways and paddles replace wheels. 🇧🇯

The #SayHerName movement grew out of a painful reality: Black women who experience police violence have often received far less attention in the national conversation about race and policing in America. Launched in 2014 by the African American Policy Forum and the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies, the campaign sought to bring greater attention to Black women and girls whose stories were frequently overlooked compared with those of Black men killed in highly publicized encounters with police.

The women whose names became connected to this movement experienced very different circumstances, and those differences matter. Rekia Boyd was fatally shot in Chicago in 2012 by an off-duty police officer. Atatiana Jefferson was killed by a Fort Worth police officer inside her own home in 2019. Sandra Bland died in a Texas jail in 2015, three days after being stopped and arrested during a traffic incident. Her death became part of the wider #SayHerName conversation and prompted national discussion about policing, detention and the treatment of Black women.

The campaign also helped draw attention to the different situations in which Black women can encounter police and the criminal justice system. These encounters can happen during traffic stops, inside their homes, while seeking help, during mental health crises or while in custody. Organizers and scholars, including legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw, emphasized that racism and sexism can intersect in ways that shape how Black women experience these systems.

It is also important to be careful when presenting long lists of names under a single heading. The women associated with #SayHerName did not all die in the same circumstances, and some cases involve deaths in custody or other encounters rather than a police officer directly killing the person. Remembering them responsibly means taking the time to understand each woman’s individual story rather than reducing their lives to a list of names or statistics.

At its core, #SayHerName asks the public to recognize that Black women have always been part of the history of policing, civil rights and state violence in America. The movement helped bring greater visibility to stories that had often received less national attention and encouraged people to question why some victims become widely remembered while others can disappear from public memory. Saying their names is only the beginning. Learning what happened to each woman and preserving her story accurately is what gives those names meaning.

There is no timeline where his plan failed because time in AoT isn't linear. The moment Eren got the Founder, the past and future collapsed into one. He didn't choose to make Dina eat his mom out of a list of options,he had to do it to ensure the timeline remained unbroken so he could reach the Paths in the first place. He was a slave to his own future.

Gotdamn, Mississippi. Let me make sure I understand this.

No water in his airways.
No drugs or alcohol in his system.
Blunt force trauma.
A missing neck bone.

He didn’t drown. And the medical examiner has not concluded that he drowned.

Yet, somehow, a grand jury has unanimously declined to issue criminal indictments in the tragic death of Nolan Wells.

So the questions remain.

How did Nolan Wells die?
What caused the blunt force trauma?
Where is the missing bone?
Who is accountable for what happened?

Black people have every right to demand answers when the facts raise serious questions.

We will not be told to wait.
We will not be told to forget.
We will not accept silence as justice.

Nolan Wells deserves the truth.
His family deserves answers.
And the public deserves accountability.

We see you, Mississippi.

We are watching.
We are asking questions.
And we are demanding the truth.

Imagine feeding kids, opening clinics and organizing your community while the FBI infiltrates and dismantles your movement. Panther leaders were jailed, exiled and even killed. Yet the KKK survived. That history speaks volumes.
