𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄? 𝗦𝗪𝗜𝗣𝗘/𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗘/𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗘 🙏🏾 Post the black square! Take it down, it’s so counterproductive! Say their name! Why didn’t you include Breonna Taylor! Mute yourselves! Speak up on behalf of Black people! Talk louder! Not that loud, too much savior complex! Love saves everyone! Except racists, they can go to hell! Lawwwwwd. So. Many. Stances. Even I'm overwhelmed by them. Here’s the deal. So you mass-followed 100 new Black people who are telling you to do a dozen different things and now you’re just like, who do I listen to when they're all saying different things? First, I urge you to pace yourselves, then try to hone in on the voices you resonate with the most. Think of music, for example. You can follow dozens of artists in the same genre, but maybe there’s one you turn on to pump you up during a workout, and another you go to that soothes your mind. Our voices will trigger different emotions, and I encourage you to have a healthy mix of all of them during this revolution. On this page, you’ll find me at the intersection of thought-provoking and sassy. I’ll challenge you to do better, but I’ll say it with love (and a couple finger snaps, lol) 💁🏾‍♀️ Because that’s who I am. I’m not going to change my voice because of what’s goin on, and to my fellow Black brothers and sisters, I encourage you not to change yours either. We’re united by our Blackness, but there are tens of millions of perspectives. I've always said, I speak WITH the Black community, not FOR them. Black people have survived generational trauma, overt racism at work, heavy discrimination, police brutality, and more. So when I see Sis going AWF and calling people out, I get it. That’s a lifetime of hurt, pain, and silencing. Let her air that out, and don’t confuse their rage as them being mean or aggressive, because some of us have been biting our tongues for decades. And we’re done. So allies, hold space. Some days our exhaustion will take center stage and our emotions will be raw. But just so we're crystal, we do not apologize for it 🤸🏾‍♀️

Suspend UK export of tear gas, rubber bullets and riot shields to USA



I'm so deeply ashamed of my country for this.
And I've been ashamed of us for a while.

Important: don't raise the degree

June 06, 2020



For Chauvin to be found guilty we NEED the charge to stay at 2nd degree. Pls don't push for "raise the degree" and make sure you keep yourself and others educated!! I know 1st degree sounds good but Chauvin rotting in jail sounds even better #blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd Okay this blew up & I have talked with many people (some lawyers, some not) so pls read these additions and my comment on the post: -Premeditation can be the instant before the death, it doesn't have to be a long planned thing. -Chauvin can be found guilty of 2nd if he is found not guilty of 1st as long as it's in the same trial. My slide on double jeopardy should have stated he can't be tried again IF THE FIRST TRIAL ENDS -Chauvin can be charged with 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree if the prosecutor chooses -Chauvin was charged actually with unintentional 2nd degree murder This post should not be the only research you do on this so please do your own research for more info
