A new era

It’s really hitting right now me how many people have fucking died of COVID, of lack of healthcare, of violence, of racism, and on and on because we’ve managed to make “giving a shit about other people” a political question

Racism and Covid-19 aren’t going away just because you’re tired of hearing about them.

The coronavirus is at record numbers. It's raging out of control. Where the hell is the federal government? Where the hell is our national leadership? I cannot imagine this level of dereliction of duty in any other administration I have seen in my (long) lifetime.

Your daily reminder that the #BlackLivesMatter protests aren’t going anywhere. This is Boston right now. Week 4.

Imagine being more upset by having to wesr a mask than the serial police murder of black Americans.

This Colorado DA refuses to charge the officers who killed unarmed #ElijahMcClain, because he says there isn't enough evidence that THREE armed officers didn't have to use force against one 140lb, 23 year old man. Woo boy, Colorado's 17th Judicial DA's Office-Brian Mason. 👀👀

Your daily reminder that the #BlackLivesMatter protests are far from over. This is Washington, DC right now. Week 4.

I wrote a tech thing - go check it out!

I am proud to work with Sen. Bernie Sanders, Ed Markey & Mark Pocan on this critical legislation to cut our Pentagon spending & redirect the money toward health care, housing, & education. It’s time to have a serious look at our national budget & realign our priorities. #PutPeopleFirst

I saw a person with a ‘fuck things up’ tattoo in rainbow colors, and I don’t think I’ve ever related so hard to anything like that before!?

The police have not stopped rioting. We can't look away from this. Last night in Portland police were assaulting people right and left. We can't just let this slide. 📽️: Tracy Molina

how evil do you have to be to roll up in riot gear itching to beat the shit out of violinists holding vigil for a child your department murdered?

On June 11th, Michael Hickson, a quadriplegic black man with COVID-19 was killed by a hospital in Austin Texas. Doctors decided he had "no quality of life" and was not worth spending the resources to save. The conversation between his doctor and his wife was caught on audio 1/?

"...these systems may also label women as whores or bitches, and Black and Asian people with derogatory language. The database also contained close-up pictures of female genitalia labeled with the C-word." Tell me how datasets is pure and unbiased again? theregister.com/2020/07/01/mit…

Black disabled lives matter. I’m devastated. It wasn’t just COVID19 that robbed Michael Hickson of his life. It was racism & ableism. I’m praying for his wife & children. In his name we fight for true liberation. Say his name #MichaelHickson

This narrative that black people who want an accurate reflection of history are "angry and resentful" leaves us with one logical takeaway: White people don't want to know history because they can't handle the truth. A thread.

Your daily reminder that trending or not, coverage or not, the protests for #BlackLivesMatter are not going anywhere. This was Philly today 👇🏻 x.com/_sam_sf/status…
