yesterday at the #seattleprotests SPD threw flash bangs into the protestors and one directly hit and exploded on me. Police do not protect us, they terrorize us.
I am so sick of men using their daughters as evidence of their empathy for women. I don’t care if you have a daughter or a pet turtle. You shouldn’t need to raise a woman to know not to disrespect us. This speech is fierce and true. Please rise for @AOC 🙌
Yesterday Aurora, Colorado was holding a violin vigil for Elijah McClain, who was known for playing his violin, especially to animals.
Then the police decided they’d seen enough.
Snipers on Elijah’s mother while she spoke. Riot gear to dismantle a violin vigil with children in a park. Tear gas & pepper spray on children barely in their teens. How can you look away?
