Charging the officer is not justice. It’s one step in a flawed process towards accountability. Justice is a country where Daunte is not pulled over. Where he is not killed. Where Black people can live free of fear from police violence. Where we can thrive.

How can anyone defend him?
When you’re Black and killed by law enforcement, you die twice. Once physically, and the second time when you’re character is assassinated posthumously. Praying for the Floyd family 🙏🏽

I can’t believe we’ve surged past $3 million for Texas! Houston Food Bank is using resources like these to try to get 30,000 meal boxes out in the next TWO days. They’re just 1 of 12 Texas orgs were now partnering with. Let’s keep going! Give here: secure.actblue.com/donate/ao…
New York’s progressive voice @AOC is in Houston today announcing more than $3 million raised to assist 10 organizations for Texans in crisis. “That’s the New York spirit, that’s the Texas spirit that’s the American spirit”

This is who we are.
“All of what we saw at the U.S. Capitol is part of America. But what’s also part of America is denying all of what is part of America. Actually, this denial is the essential part of America. Denial is the heartbeat of America.” My latest @TheAtlantic. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
i am tired of "this is not who we are" rhetoric. the same america that pillaged and slaughtered indigenous folx for land, that enslaved millions, that created internment camps, is the SAME america storming the capitol building today.
