What would you do to prevent your murder? To prevent the murder of your child, brother, sister, friend, community? We tried to peacefully kneel or raise a fist but that made us un-American, a distraction, a son of a bitch. Today I am a thug, but tomorrow will I be a hashtag?
I didn't spend my childhood in barbed wire enclosed internment camps so I could listen to grown adults today cry oppression because they have to wear a mask at Costco.
Ppl protesting in person to “liberate” MN right now are irresponsible, dangerous & risking Minnesotans’ lives. Doubt it? Look at SoDak: they’re not sheltering in place & have >4x MN’s rate of cases. They’re 15th in US; MN is 50th. In SD they’re free to get sick & infect others.
friendly reminder that
a) the public health experts all warned us that the plan working would look like we did too much
and
b) a lot of people are still getting very sick and dying
and
c) if it turns out that fewer people get sick & die that is a very good thing
