I wanna talk about my brother for a second. Let's call him Kevin (not his real name).
Kevin was, for most of my life, kind of a right-wing asshole. He cared about people, and about his family, but was also full of anger and contempt. He was a gun-toting, authority-loving jerk.

There’s a video of a mob of cis men harassing and assaulting a black trans woman, I will not share it. Her name is #IyannaDior and this took place in Minneapolis. This is why we say black trans lives matter because the movement is so often focused on cishets. PROTECT TRANS WOMEN

There’s an open question that haunts the courthouse: If you’re harmed by police, what does it take to find justice that *feels* like justice? http://bit.ly/2xWHaRg
Now feels like an excellent time to remind folks about season 3 of the @serial@twitter.com podcast, which spends a year in the Cleveland justice system to report how it affects the lives of the people caught within it:

It’s OK if you can’t focus.
It’s OK if you can’t be “productive.”
It’s OK if you feel overwhelmed.
It’s OK if you’re exhausted.
It’s OK if you’re confused.
You’re human, and these are unparalleled times. Take care of yourself. The world needs you for the fight ahead.

I worry that the killing of #BreonaTaylor is getting lost in the noise. We cannot forget how she was “accidentally” shot 8 times while sleeping in her own bed because cops broke in unannounced into the wrong home and shot her while she slept. #BlackLivesMatter https://twitter.com/TheJessieWoo/status/1265649170473455618

It takes work and time to make change. It requires talking to people and making phone calls. I KNOW it's weird and anxiety inducing. But a long term outlook brings real change. I promise there are large and small projects that will help people potentially for DECADES. LOCALLY.

To simplify following the criminal justice news of the last 36 hours, I posted a set of 10 links to police brutality videos on Facebook
Can't do that here, obvs
So I'm putting them into a thread

An example of white privilege.
You keep saying “it’s horrible that an innocent black man was killed, but destroying property has to stop”.
Try saying “It’s horrible that property is being destroyed but killing innocent black men has to stop”
Priorities. Make sense?

I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:
