No Justice, No Peace 7/6/20

Soledad O'Brien wrote an Op-Ed for the New York Times titled A MeToo Movement for Journalists of Color.

Yelling “there is no racism” and Trump’s slogan “Keep America Great,”
a white couple in Martinez, California vandalize a city-authorized #BlackLivesMatter mural with paint.

The mere idea that America might care about Black people is too much for them.pic.twitter.com/qLA0MK2JsW

In 1970, Mississippi officials banned Sesame Street from the state's PBS station, citing the “racial integration of the show's neighborhood”.

The ban lasted for 22 days. pic.twitter.com/RqQOKWD0yt

Tell me again how defund the police is wrong when no one even bats an eye at a policeman in Oregon flashing a white power sign at a Proud Boy that he’s obviously chummy with.

Absolutely heartbreaking. Summer Taylor was only 24-years-old, peacefully protesting for Black Lives Matter when they were struck by a car. Thinking of their family during this difficult time and everyone in the movement today. pic.twitter.com/i7hqkjSSMH

this is so fucking heartbreaking and it would be nice for someone in the media to start treating the ~multiple murders~ that have happened at protests over the last few weeks with the same seriousness & gravity they applied to a goddamn burning Wendy's https://t.co/9tJ2jNuHUo

TW: Rape, police retaliation

In June, Norman, OK cut the police dept. budget by $865,000.

In retaliation, an NPD officer doxxed a female city council member, to "teach her a lesson".

On Saturday, her duplex was broken in to & her neighbor—mistaken as her—was brutally raped.
