Last week, Girl Scouts of the USA posthumously bestowed upon Amerie Jo Garza, 10, of Uvalde, Texas, one of the highest honors in Girl Scouting: the Bronze Cross. The Bronze Cross is awarded for saving or attempting to save life at the risk of the Girl Scout’s own life. 1/3

I have spent the past few days researching the training of Uvalde officers, including the tactics they were expected to use to halt school shooters.

The documents are jarring. Here’s a thread of our findings so far.

Across the street from the NRA convention: “Am I next?”

I need to get back to this account. I don't want my whole existence to be part of some 'brand.'

@GAFollowers Ya'll losing it because "his face is covered" but we are still *in a pandemic*

So proud of EcoViva for making this transition. So often nonprofits forget that power belongs in the hands of the people. EcoViva has really put a lot of work into recognizing the capacity of their partners and helping them thrive on an equitable platform. https://t.co/7BdeMtT4WQ

Having empathy is the single most important thing in the world right now. You can do this. I believe in you.

On this day 52 years ago, Fred Hampton was murdered by police in his bed. He was 21 years old. Learn more about the life, death, and legacy of the revolutionary Black Panther Leader.

haha wow that's so cool didn't you order a nation-wide lock down enforced by the military & arbitrarily detain thousands of citizens in concentration camps for weeks on end for alleged sanitary infringements

@lex_about_sex It's straight-up *NONSENSE*. I have to give you a tailored cover letter, a skill assessment, a prerecorded interview, and a sample of work tailored to your org???? Bruh.

You are eating dry turkey and overcooked stuffing on stolen land.

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

A jury handed down a guilty verdict Wednesday for all three white men involved in the killing of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery. The jurors had been deliberating since Tuesday on the charges against Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael, and William ‘Roddie’ Bryan Jr.

I'm from Tuskegee, AL and these are FACTS

[Domo Julio @DapperDomo]

Misunderstanding the Tuskegee experiment is causing irrepressible damage to my community.

[NY AG James @NewYorkStateAG]

This is a dark day for our justice system.

As a lawyer, I respect jury verdicts. But this is yet another reminder that our system needs to be uprooted and reformed.

[Stop Killing Us @last_garrison]

I hate it here.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Kyle Rittenhouse, who fatally shot two men and wounded another in Kenosha, Wisconsin last year, was found not guilty of homicide and four other charges on Friday. https://t.co/u3ESHXMlHB

Thanksgiving is a fucked up myth of colonialism being a "good" thing. Ya'll were not invited here. And you committed atrocities once you arrived. Instead of giving thanks, you need to be giving reparations.

Sick of seeing "you need to be able to turn a NO into a YES" for fundraising job posts... maybe we should focus on inspiring willing donors, not coercing unwilling ones? #nonprofit

[Stop Killing Us @last_garrison]

Job listings that *require* you to take skill assessments and do an automated interview before they'll even look at your application disgust me. You can't even take a moment to talk to me, and you want free labor? As if.
