the fact the US used the full force of the federal government to eliminate the Black Panthers while the KKK is still running around tells you a lot about this country
ICE killed a father of three yesterday and no one is talking about it.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years in Houston building homes and raising a family.
According to people interviewed, every night after work you'd find him on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. He helped his three kids (U.S. Citizens) get through college.
It certainly seems that he was doing everything right, and then a federal agent shot him dead during a stop and his own son found out from a Facebook video, recognizing his father's voice as he lay bleeding in the street.
His son says that if his father had recognized any sign of law enforcement, he would have complied without question.
DHS says he "tried to run him over." This is the exact same lie they used to justify murdering Renee Good, a mother of three.
We are being asked to trust a rogue, lawless agency's word over a dead man's family, again, with no body cam release and no independent investigation.
Everyone should be outraged.
It’s 250 years of freedom for white men only.
It’s 106 years of voting freedom for white women.
It’s 72 years of voting freedom for Asian immigrants.
It’s 61 years of voting freedom for Black people.
It’s 51 years of voting rights for Native Peoples, but we all know that’s a farce when their lands were stripped from them and their ways of life were classified illegal.
It’s 10 years of marriage freedom for queer couples.
It’s 0 years of voting freedom for Puerto Ricans.
Watched this black cashier have a full convo wit a ww @ macys. I got to the register, greeted him, he didn’t say one word to me. When i finished paying I was like “you only speak to white people?” He started stuttering. Ppl have basic manners for who they choose to.
I don’t think yall mad enough.
There’s a black woman who’s been sitting in jail since 6/5 named Janine Delane because she refused to sign over the deeds to her land passed down to her . A judge order her to sign over her land.
This man is going on two decades of consistently proving he is an absolute piece of shit and it’s so embarrassing that anyone still listens and supports him
Lamont Mealy died of dehydration in State custody after the water to his cell was shut off. This is the change CO's ignored over 9 days. Please read and share; then join our calls to @GovWesMoore for justice and change. https://t.co/bZ3mDpkDtE
The Mississippi cop killed a baby because the management at Walmmart claimed A BABY was shoplifting a pack of diapers (bis mother had a receipt), and now they police have unleashed tear gas on community members protesting the execution of a baby.
This is America.
Karmelo Anthony has recieved more time (35 years) than George Zimmerman (no time), Daniel Penny (no time), Derek Chauvin (22.5 years), Amber Guyger (10 years) & Rick Chow (no time) COMBINED. This is unacceptable to any sane thinking, no racist person.
So the HOA just informed me that they're planning on putting a lien and eventually filing a foreclosure lawsuit if I do not pay the full amount, which is about $12,000.
Anything helps.
The United States arrests 60,000 pregnant women a year. The most you get in my state is an extra sandwich at lunch and dinner. Adult women’s prisons are subject to MUCH MORE oversight than the juvenile system which is NOT centralized and is a total free for all.
Immigration detention is the same. They move these girls around in transfers to keep them from their right to seek an abortion to conceal the rapes.
The FBI had to raid and shutdown a prison to get the rapes to stop. That is our justice system in America.
