Look at this and think about how many countless names are missing.
Think about how many were before BLM existed. https://twitter.com/hyuckhe1sm/status/1265805271294754816

This is why folks protest. It forces action. No need to explain this over and over. https://twitter.com/ajc/status/1266023943191789568

Please don’t underestimate the importance of pursuing your passions & goals, taking care of yourself, and fiercely loving your family in times like this.
These are also forms of activism.

If I knelt on a cop’s neck for nine minutes as he begged for air and a crowd begged for mercy, and he died, you think the fuckin’ cops would be worried about a rush to judgment? You think they’d want to wait before arresting me?

I really like how whether or not my life matters is up for constant debate by government officials, the media, and my fellow countrymen --
Or how people are more outraged by property damage or animal abuse than the murder of people of color! That's so nice. 🙃

Reading more about Christian Cooper (the black man from Central Park), the more I'm heartened by his passion and decency.
Also, not gonna lie, dude is a SNACK. When I grow up I want to be like this guy. <3

LRT: "White silence is violence" is a bit of an overreach and counterproductive to the message, but the rest still stands.
*PLEASE* speak up if you see racist behavior or even casual white supremacy rearing its ugly head. Unlike many friends, I can't opt out of this issue.

please, do not stay silent, do not ignore this

It looks like Amy Cooper, the white woman in the viral Central Park video, is a liberal. That's important. https://news.yahoo.com/looks-amy-cooper-white-woman-163136526.html?soc_src=hl-viewer&soc_trk=tw
The Amy Cooper thing is just making me way too hot, so I'm going to be off Twitter for a day or so. Take care of each other. :)
