I am genuinely curious about how Biden’s folks think there’s a path forward in November when the cops he helped fund are out here brutalizing an important part of his base for … saying “stop killing kids”

I dunno, seems like a losing strategy but I guess I’m not a DNC genius

If you've participated in even one protest in your life, you have seen or experienced the excitement with which police unleash violence on demonstrators. By calling in the police, these university administrators and the boards they serve are purposefully putting students at risk.

Bus drivers refused to transport protestors from last night's Seder in the Streets to the precinct, forcing cops to drive the busses. Power and solidarity to the union bus drivers with twu 100 who refuse to collaborate with the NYPD, which commandeers MTA busses for mass arrests.

I have found no book more neccessary & accessible for Black men addressing suicide as I have found Courtney B. Vance & #DrRobinLSmith ’s “Invisible Ache”. The honesty in which he tells his story along w/Dr. Robin’s expertise is immaculate. Looking forward to sitting down w/them!!!
