when i say “i should be there in 5!” i’m almost always using the moral sense of the word ‘should’, not the like probability sense. like yeah being there in 5 minutes would be the right thing, even though it’s not going to happen
Look, they're going to convict Derek Chauvin. He'll be sacrificed to restore faith in the system. But we need to understand that no matter what happens the entire system is guilty. Chicago cops killed a 13 year-old Monday. There is no justice in this system. Reform is not enough.
@msblackteach my hopefully simple suggestion is to check out the first time home buyer programs in your area. Iowa offers grants of up to 5k towards your downpayment!
Derek Chauvin’s defense strategy is essentially to put George Floyd on trial; people and news organizations referring to these proceedings as the “George Floyd trial” are knowingly or unknowingly supporting that strategy.
A white man walked into a grocery store in Boulder, killed 10 people, and was apprehended by the police and walked out of the building completely unharmed.
Right down the street, police killed Elijah McClain while he apologized for not doing anything wrong.
Dear Well-Meaning White People,
When members of the Asian community say to check on your Asian friends, that doesn't mean text/DM/email your classmate/colleague from years ago. In my experience from last summer, this can do more harm than good.
Don’t call this the George Floyd trial. George Floyd wasn’t even charged. He was lynched on the street.
This is the Derek Chauvin trial and we are demanding justice for George.
@Sethrogen but seth, are you really prepared bc i think you are going to need about 10m of those table lighters to meet demand the first day. congratulations !!
