“My name is Balkar Singh & I’ve been driving for 32 years. I’ve been on hunger strike for 11 days. My head hurts and blood pressure is high. I feel weak but I’m continuing my strike bc winning debt relief would mean that me & my family would be able to survive.” #EndCabbieDebt

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

34 years ago today, Thomas Sankara, a revolutionary African leader, was assassinated by French imperialists.

He drove out French imperialism from Burkina Faso and withdrew from IMF and made the country non-reliant on foreign aid.

Important: Current horrors on Rikers island could’ve been avoided if the media hadn’t amplified sensationalized police & prosecutor propaganda to kill bail reform last year. NYT sounds an alarm for public elsewhere: Don’t get duped. Give reforms a chance. https://t.co/VPcSMhlq7a

School starts in 18 days (but who’s counting, right?) and we still don’t have details on testing protocols, student quarantines, and how they’ll learn if/when they’re quarantined.

@NYCMayor has promised info this week. @DOEChancellor is at his presser per schedule. We shall see!

I’ve represented people charged with a “violent” felony for:

Taking quarters from a laundry machine.

Throwing a plastic water bottle at a sibling.

Running from a cop who tripped & hurt his knee.

Being one of several passengers in a car where a gun was found.

Is it ok to say I think Messi to PSG is going to be a lot of fun and I'm quite looking forward to it, or is that an automatic Twitter points deduction offence?

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Global warming will get progressively worse and cannot be stopped over the next 30 years, a major new UN report has concluded, because the world's nations delayed so long in curbing emissions. A hotter future is now essentially locked in.

Thank you NYC! I promise to work hard every single day to help our city recover from the pandemic more just, more equal, and better prepared for future crises than we were for this one.
