Fauci was caring for AIDS patients when others wouldn’t even touch them. He fought harmful misinformation. He warned about the risk of a pandemic for years. You’re never going to convince me he’s a terrible person.

Emmett Till should be celebrating his 85th birthday today.
Instead, he was robbed not only of his life, but of every year, relationship, dream, and possibility that should have followed. White supremacy destroys lives, wounds generations, and depends on our willingness to look away.
Remember Emmett. Reject the hatred that killed him. Continue the work of dismantling every system that devalues Black life.

Hey @Flock_Safety since you finally decided to crawl out of the shadows and reply, want to explain why your “public safety” cameras are nowhere near a road and instead pointed at people just trying to live their lives?

A 3-yr-old girl in Maine watched ICE fatally shoot her father (Joan Sebastian Guerrero) in the head while she sat in her car seat wearing Bluey pajamas.
Then she watched agents pull his lifeless body from the car to cuff him.
Is America great yet, you stupid MAGA motherfuckers?
NOW: Hundreds have spontaneously taken to the streets in Biddeford, ME to demand justice for ICE’s latest victim, an unidentified 26 year old Colombian man authorized to work in the US.
ICE’s relentless terror in our communities against citizens and noncitizens alike cannot continue!
He Wasn’t "Left Behind." He Was Abandoned. And They Lawyered Up Before They Even Said His Name.
Let’s talk about Nolan Xavier Wells. 18 years old. A son. A young Black man who went on a boating trip with "friends" on July 4th and never came home.
Those "friends" came back without him. They didn't call his mother. They didn't call the coast guard. They didn't report him missing. They went home, slept in their beds, and only picked up the phone when they realized the world was watching—TO CALL THEIR ATTORNEY'S!!.
Meanwhile, Nolan’s body was found days later. In the water. Alone.
NOW WATCH THE LANGUAGE.
The sheriff said Nolan "chose" to stay behind. He "wanted to catch another ride." No foul play suspected. Just a kid who "made a bad decision."
Let me stop you right there.
If Nolan was a white 18-year-old from the suburbs, and his friends returned without him—do you think for one second the narrative would be "he chose to stay"? No. The news would scream "VANISHED" and "MYSTERY AT SEA." There would be helicopters. There would be tearful pleas from the family on every network. And those friends? They wouldn't be "kids who lawyered up." They'd be "persons of interest" dragged into interrogation rooms.
But because Nolan is Black, his disappearance is treated like an inconvenience. His death is treated like a "choice." His friends are treated like cautious citizens instead of suspects.
And one of those friends? He was hanging out with, parent is a judge.. They know the legal system. They know that if they keep quiet long enough, the story shifts. They know that Black life gets settled out of court, not avenged in it.
THIS IS THE RACISM WE ARE TIRED OF NAMING.
They stripped Nolan of his vulnerability. They stripped him of his fear. They stripped him of the right to be missed the way white victims are missed. When a Black person commits a crime against a white person, the media calls them a "thug" and demands the death penalty before the trial starts. But when a Black boy is left to die on an island? It's "he chose to stay."
The disrespect is loud. The dehumanization is intentional.
TO NOLAN’S FAMILY:
We see your son. We see your pain. We see your fight. No mother should have to beg for answers while her child lies in a morgue and the suspects sit behind lawyers. We are holding space for your grief, and we are holding the system to its feet. You are not alone. We are praying for your strength, but we also know that prayers without action are just words.
OUR CALL TO ACTION:
1. Demand criminal charges. This cannot be settled with money. This cannot be swept under a wrongful death lawsuit alone. Someone knows what happened on that island. Someone saw him alive, and someone left him dead. We need homicide detectives, not damage control.
2. Flood the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office with calls. Demand transparency. Demand the release of that video showing the "heated argument." If there's nothing to hide, show us everything.
3. Share this post. Blow it up. Make it uncomfortable. Make sure they know we are watching.
4. Tag your local news. Ask them why they aren't covering this the way they cover missing white children. Ask them why "chose to stay" is acceptable language for a dead Black boy.
Nolan Xavier Wells did not "choose" to die. He was failed by the people he trusted and the system that was supposed to find him. We don't want your thoughts and prayers alone. We want truth. We want justice. And we want it now.
