Remember Swann St where hundreds of protesters were kettled and arrested for breaking curfew!?
Oh, how tonight is so different.

In a new visual album, a local artist uses “sounds of the movement," including call and responses and chants from protests for victims of police violence. dcist.com/story/20/12/10/fre…

Really hard to put tonight into words but it would’ve been really nice to see all of those celebrating Biden at BLMP about a week ago to support our comrades on the ground. But there wasn’t even a quarter of that smh

With Trump telling Proud Boys to "Stand back and stand by," I'll explain how they are an umbrella for violent street brawlers, neo-Nazis, and white nationalists. This thread is for those unfamiliar w/ PBs, those who want more info, and journos who need receipts for PB extremism.

I wrote about Adam Killsalive, a young man from Standing Rock who ran hundreds of miles to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline, and how our generation is changing the world, for @RollingStone:

I wrote a piece about what nonblack allies can learn from #blackouttuesday. It was most certainly a teachable moment for me — as I think it was for a lot of us.
Thanks to @MBennettSmith for nonpareil editing. And thanks to @CurrentMvmnts founder Katie Petitt for speaking with me – at Roeland Park, KS
There was an important lesson to be learned, if people were paying attention, writes @NatashaNoman.
The #BlackoutTuesday debacle was a reminder that being an ally, sometimes, means making mistakes. But a true ally doesn’t give up when corrected:

I don’t know about you guys but I’m in awe of the patience it took to create this beauty made with little strips of plastic ribbon. Just saying. #GeorgeFloydProtests #DCProtests
