first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”
she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”
when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country
when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn
what is “reassurance”, in this place ?
rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey

The first “cow boys” in the United States were the enslaved African ancestors of the Gullah Geechee in coastal Sooth Carolina, the birthplace of our country’s cattle industry.
I’m from the same town as the Murdaughs. Before they became a big name, our town was basically unheard of. We’ve since gained national attention, but media coverage rarely captures the lighter side of our area: our entire county has a rich, rural culture that still thrives. I’m fortunate to document this side of Hampton County, South Carolina.

An incarcerated brother I am in correspondence with donated $17.74 for relief efforts in Gaza. This donation is the sum of 136 hours of his labor in the prison working as a porter/janitor. May his sincere donation be multiplied by the Creator. #Gaza #ceasefirenow

Rest in Power, Miss Josephine. I can’t help but think the stress she’s been under—from the developer who tried to run her off her land—played a part in her death. Stress kills.

I hope you’re following master sweetgrass basket maker Corey Alston on the socials. He’s one of the young ones keeping this Gullah-Geechee art form alive. P.S.—men always made coil baskets too. Photo credit: Joel Caldwell via #corey_alston_sweethrassbasket

they are making HER pay the coroner’s office $250 to claim HER son, who THEY buried without telling her. burn the whole police dept down.
A Mississippi mother who spent 7 months searching for her son discovered that an off-duty officer ran him over less than an hour after he left the house.
Authorities then buried him without notifying his family nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bet…
