I honestly donāt know how the world doesnāt stop every year on August 9th and honestly, itās probably my own reflection because my world stops. Mike Brown Jrās death completely shifted this earth. Do yāall remember what life was like August 8, 2014? I mean really remember.

The folks from @InDefenseDallas are gathering this weekend to discuss the ways that #Dallas can reimagine public safety. The group has been lobbying for the city to spend less money on police. They want money spent on social services that they believe could decrease poverty.

young women are told everyday to keep weapons such as mace or even a small pocket knife to defend themselves but when #MakhiaBryant actually had one to avoid being beaten up, police shoot her right away without hesitation. we all know this is not right. say her name.

Though Minnesota AG Keith Ellison spoke out against systemic police brutality, organizer Kandace Montgomery says heās part of a āmilitarized occupationā across Minnesota. āWe are perpetuating that history ... specifically by limiting the rights of Black and Brown protesters.ā

Look at the art. Look at this black girl magic. Look at her joy! Look at that smile and that face. What a beauty. What a baby. MaāKhia Bryant was just 16 years old.

this is the only kind of imagery of her I want to see. no narratives of exceptionalism. no using her flaws as means to justify tragic ends. just her being. thatās enough of a reason to love her & be angry sheās gone. #SayHerName #makhiabryant

She was 15.
She was 15 years old.
She called the police because she needed help.
They killed her.
Police are pointless!

Ppl are completely misunderstanding accountability. Derek Chauvin has not been held accountable. He has been convicted. Thatās not accountability. No one has taken any ACCOUNT. Neither he nor the system have apologized, expressed remorse or made any amends to change the system.

Casually suggesting a taser as a de-escalation tool - especially on a child - is depraved.
