90 years ago this month, Nazis burned books.

History doesn't always repeat, but it certainly rhymes.
this is a great example of copaganda. note that the headline (which is what most people read, no further) doesn’t convey that it was the police doing the chasing and causing the crash; instead, the cop is the baby-comforting hero.

If there is any monolithic experience of “the latino” it’s that our many histories are thrust into a colonial white supremacist chaos that is morphed by the specificity of *where we are* and what we carry with us into those spaces across time
Beyond that it’s all white lies
A reminder that the state can kidnap and cage you for however long they wish. Maurice Jimmerson has been held in the Dougherty County Jail for a DECADE. He has pleaded not guilty. His jail cell is less than seven miles away from his mother’s home. https://t.co/9uiSbF080f
