Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
A man died from COVID in a Houston jail cell last week because he couldn't afford the $100 bail. He died for the crime of being poor, awaiting trial for the alleged crime of stealing food.
His name was Preston Chaney.
Mass incarceration is a public health crisis.
It wasn’t enough for Breonna Taylor’s killers to be protected from prosecution for the murder they committed. They now *want money* from her boyfriend for *their* “emotional distress. I don’t say this lightly, but fuck them.

Mike Pence led the biggest concentrated HIV outbreak in U.S. history while he was governor in Indiana because he opposed needle-exchange programs and now has led the country to over 210,000 COVID-19 deaths. Do not listen to a damn thing he says about public health.
I keep thinking about my 3-year-old in his Black Panther costume. How he wore it almost every day when he got it, refused to take it off. The way he walked around saying “I’m the Black Panther.” How happy it made him. What Chadwick gave us was immeasurable. What an enormous loss.
If two Black men had chased and killed, in cold blood, a White man jogging down the street, the two Black men would have been arrested immediately.
Jail Gregory and Travis McMichael NOW.
Indict later.
They are a threat to Black people and to humanity.

ABC: Kobe Bryant and 4 children killed.
FOX: Kobe Bryant and 3 others killed.
TMZ: Kobe Bryant survived by wife and 4 daughters.
I hope some people lose their jobs today for rushing reports.
This was 44 years ago.... all these racist white kids in this video are 54-70 today. They run the country, run the judicial system, are police chiefs, etc. Let that marinate bro.
We have a terrorism problem in America.
It is home grown. It is white. It is based on supremacy.
It is not from ISIS. It is not from Islam.
It is not from immigrants.
It is the most dangerous epidemic according to FBI.
And it isn't being shamed.

@mtease@mikaela_kathryn because kamala harris was so integral in the mass incarceration of black + brown folx. if you see the netflix movie & can’t stand those wrongful convictions—the railroading the five boys got, understand that’s what harris did as san francisco d.a. & as cali’s attorney general.
