Amir Locke was asleep, tucked under a blanket in the early morning.

10 seconds later, the Minneapolis Police shot and killed him in a no-knock warrant that he wasn’t even named on.

They entered with no regard for human life. We need justice for Amir.

Bodycams show us almost everything the MPD told us about Amir Locke's killing is a lie. The officers snuck into the apartment, did not announce themselves, surprised him, he did not aim a weapon at officers. The shots fired were, of course, from them. Also, he was not a suspect.

Is institutional self-reflection even possible when its entire purpose has devolved to 'just keep it all moving'

Thinking that teachers only work during class time is like thinking that a movie director only works for 2 hours.

BREAKING: Ridgeland Mayor Gene McGee is withholding $110,000 in funding from the Madison County Library System, allegedly demanding a full purge of Ridgeland Library's LGBTQ+ books before funding it.

The board's counsel says he is acting outside the law. https://t.co/YfvjHwCy5I

If every young person who voted in 2020 found one friend who hasn’t voted before and got them to vote- we could replace every single one of these corrupt and incompetent assholes in 6 years.

All you need to do is bring a friend to vote.

Voter suppression is:
•Forcing Black ppl to wait 2X as long as white ppl to vote
•Requiring a new ID even after an ID was confirmed at voter registration
•Banning IDs disproportionately used by Black voters
•Closing polling locations in Black neighborhoods
