Here is a thread where I share my 1st hand account of emergency works not helping an unconscious black man during protests in the early morning of 5/30 in Richmond,VA

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

The fear mongering regarding CRT is aimed at banning all teaching of substance on the past and current devastation of white supremacy/racism.

It is cruel to quote my father, who was assassinated for working to eradicate racism, poverty and militarism, to facilitate that fear.

Tell the truth about American history.

This should not be at the discretion of the police, period. It’s a matter of life and death.

[Miss Andry ✊🏽 (she/her) @The_BKC]

And they are using the name of George Floyd to promote a series that does nothing but whitewash history and amplify systems of white supremacy....and if you think Black folks can’t participate in that amplification, Richmond Mayor’s op-ed is living proof!!!!

“If they raise the minimum wage, things will cost more.” 🤡🤡🤡🤡

[The First Amendment @USConst_Amend_I]

When this is happening, you have failed.

Another upside of getting out of Afghanistan is that we can bring the remaining gear home and sell more Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles to local police departments! Yay 🥳

On the morning of January 9th, Virginia State Police murdered 18 year old Charlottesville resident Xzavier Hill. His mother LaToya Benton is asking for community members to speak up and act. More information on how to help Xzavier receive justice is down below.

my problem with america (well, one of my problems) is that it’s built on a mentality of false superiority. thinking that your country is “the best” is not patriotism, it’s nationalism. and it’s false.

we are no better than everyone else, despite how grateful you are to be here.

[Ed Stern is on BlueSky @EdStern]

Well that escalated steadily for four years.

If you think the vaccines are distributed poorly, just wait til you learn what they do with our tax money.

[Rae Fines @Rae_Fines]

The fact that Stafford County thought it was acceptable to put my dad in these life threatening situations at the beginning of the pandemic because he couldn't afford to pay child support will always infuriate me!!!

[ACLU of Virginia @ACLUVA]

People who are incarcerated are housed in close quarters with virtually no way to stay socially distanced, spaces that would fit the definition of congregate settings.

Their lives matter. RT to urge @GovernorVA to use his conditional pardon powers to release people & save lives.

[ACLU of Virginia @ACLUVA]

Video of what happened last night suggests that our definition of "facilitating" free expression & the RPD's is quite different.

[Aidan Smith @aidan_smx]

I'm still amazed that in the height of the protests a Trump-supporting bar owner in Omaha murdered James Scurlock, a 22 year old Black man, and the case received almost no national attention.

[drtwilli.bsky.social @DrTWilli]

@ByRobertoR Interestingly, I don’t see this empty PR spectacle anywhere on the list of demands
