Ten years ago, a police officer shot and killed Philando Castile, a 37-year-old Black man, during a traffic stop, as he reached for his license and registration 💔
The sheer amount of times black people will not understand when you're the token in the friend group you can die and none of your white friends will say they saw anything.
This young Black dad, 23-year-old Diamond Steen, was killed by an O’Reilly’s Auto Parts store manager in Kansas City in 2023. Carl Kemppainen, 39, followed him outside, falsely accused him of theft, and strangled him to death. Diamond left behind a six-month-old baby. 😔
Another life taken too soon. Rest in peace. 🕊️
FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT WE LITERALLY DEPEND ON TREES, CLEAN WATER, HEALTHY SOIL, AND STABLE ECOSYSTEMS TO EXIST. THAT'S NOT AN OPINION, IT IS HOW LIFE WORKS. STOP TREATING OUR FORESTS, RIVERS, OCEANS, AND WILDLIFE LIKE THEY'RE REPLACEABLE
