Today’s #ChauvinTrial decision shows that the tide is shifting.
But while we celebrate this small piece of accountability, the systemic changes needed to save more lives from the cops is as urgent as ever.
Here’s how you can help build momentum to #DefundThePolice ⬇️
This does not prove the system works but it proves even the most obvious bare minimum won't happen without public pressure. We only saw this verdict because of the protestors who risked their lives on the street. Those still incarcerated. Those murdered for their advocacy.
This verdict is relief & accountability for the murder of George Floyd. But the fight for justice continues.
Justice would be Gianna having her father today.
Justice is investing in our communities, not police.
Justice is no more Black lives lost to police violence.
A great Q&A with the authors of "Stamped from the Beginning" & "Stamped: Racism Anti-racism and You".
I read the latter in a work book club in 2020. This history & these conversations are so necessary, even with the white folks you work with.

Americans owe $1.6 TRILLION in student debt. INSANE!
@RepresentUs and I made a short film about how our corrupt political system got us here, and how we can FIX IT with the #ForThePeopleAct. Grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy. Then let’s get to work 👍
“The problem is the Republican party is marching this country further and further to the right but the Democratic party is not moving further & further to the left. They’re actually chasing Republicans to the right because they work for the same corporate donors.” @AmpedUpPodcast
You want to thank Black women?
Cancel student debt -- all of it.
Black women carry more student debt than any other group in America.
Save your words of appreciation. Policy is our love language.
@GovernorVA I guess I’m confused. How is that Va Beach’s percent positivity is at 16.7% and we haven’t put in any more restrictions? It wasn’t this high in the summer and you put more restrictions in place, so why not now?
@GovernorVA I guess I don’t understand. If cases are higher now than at any point in the pandemic, why do we still have indoor dining? Why is the curview not earlier? Why aren’t we back to phase 1 or 2?
@Paper_Source are you telling me your employees couldn’t have looked online or called another store to find the barcode info? Piss poor customer service. Smh. 🤦🏽♀️
She said she had to claim it as “defective” and literally put it in the trash can. Wtf kind of wasteful promoting company is this. It was like a scene from mean girls or something. @paper_source promoting trash consumerism by tossing out perfectly good cards just bc they couldn’t
The votes are in! We're building a #PeoplesParty!
If you're tired of a two-party system that doesn't work for the people and doesn't push for progressive policies that the majority wants, we welcome you to join us on this historical journey!

@Wegmans The number one thing that needs to happen in your Virginia Beach store is ENFORCING the wearing of masks. There’s no way people should be walking by managers without masks on and no one says anything.
