Our hearts are heavy over yet another shooting of a Black man, Daunte Wright, at the hands of police. It’s important to conduct a full and transparent investigation, but this is also a reminder of just how badly we need to reimagine policing and public safety in this country. pic.twitter.com/sgcbRjlApr
Daunte Wright didn't deserve to be executed is a full sentence. Not"Daunte Wright didn't deserve to be executed bc he was only being pulled over for a traffic violation."Nor is it "Daunte Wright didn't deserve to be executed bc his alleged warrant was only for a weed violation "
— Fiona Applebum says Block Shaun King 🍎 (@WrittenByHanna) April 13, 2021
The murder of #DaunteWright is rooted in white supremacy and results from the intentional criminalization of Black and Brown communities.
This system can’t be reformed.
It must be dismantled and a real system of public safety rebuilt from the ground up.#DefundThePolice
It is safer to be a white man who just killed multiple people than it is to be a Black person in a traffic stop and if that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how abundant, unflinching, and grounded racism is in this awful country, I don’t know what to tell you.
This doesn’t help: “In 2019, Potter—who was the police union president at the time—was admonished by investigators for allegedly attempting to conceal evidence after a police shooting that left a 21-year-old autistic man dead.” https://t.co/r1Lf5ls1yZ
Dudette, I’m beginning to believe they’ve had a way, they just choose to not do so. If you believe there’s a bunch of “bad apples” in your midst, & then do nothing? You’re the effing bad apple, rep for all yr “bad apples”. Eff you! (Apologies, my Webster’s is on an extended sabbatical! 😇)
Here's one new example of why today's GOP is hopeless and pitiful. After the Jan. 6th traitorous insurrection, Nikki Haley properly dressed down the instigator, President Trump. Now she's willing to give Trump another chance to wreck our democracy. Nauseating! Gutless! https://t.co/F3hq2NM8Ry
Apparently, politicians have decided it only takes 3 months for the country’s collective memory to change Jan 6th from a violent fascist insurrection to just a minor inconvenience.
The PTSD that manifests itself over and over again.
The lack of space to heal and rebuild because we keep on being re-traumatized over and over again.
This shit manifests mentally and physically. The stress, the high blood pressure, the anxiety, the tiredness, the panic attacks, the heaviness of your bones. The feeling like you can’t fucking breathe and move freely in your own country. The way you have to get up everyday and perform normalcy in a world that continues to visit trauma and violence upon you like it’s a bloody joke. The people who so casually tell you this can be reformed. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU REFORM CONTINUED STATE SANCTIONED BRUTALIZATION AND MURDER.
This fucking country. This goddamned racist fucking country.
Thinking of Daunte Wright's family. Thinking of the greater Minneapolis community. Thinking of all the Black folks who wake up to this news again and again and again and again and again. Thinking of the toll is takes on your body, the air it pulls from your lungs. Every time.
I indeed feel traumatized…this is the feel that i have been feeling….some of the hardest part of this..is that i have to go to work and prentend that all is ok…that i have to swallow my pain….
If you are shocked about 6 women getting blood clots from the 7 million people who took the J & J vaccine, wait till I tell you about how many people died who didn’t get a vaccine at all.
Yall want this frantic about 3K ppl dying A DAY enough to stay in the house but 6 cases of blood clouts out of 7 million got yall saying "see this is why i didn't get the vaccine". Alrighty
If you ever see me tweeting normally whenever a black person is extrajudicially murdered by those that are sworn to protect, please remember that I am black, I am tired, I am scared, and I am traumatized and I don't want to talk about it

Like many of you, I was concerned by the video of LT Nazario’s traffic stop in December. He represented himself and our Army well through his calm, professional response to the situation – I’m very proud of him.
Situations like this are what I want Soldiers to discuss. This is the reality that some of our Soldiers still face. As a Leader, you should know that and be willing to have conversations about how events like this impact your teams.
Yay! I really wanted to see how they bring the 3rd and 4th books to the screen. Still bummed that My Duke won’t be involved, but Benedict & Colin are my two favorite Bridgertons.
Nerdy, darlin’ – This post is so meaningful, among so many others you give us. I’m an old white chick but I, too, am horrendously exhausted by the traumatization of Black people in our country and beyond. When we love each other, our hearts are all under attack, but nothing like the face-to-face experiences endured. Oh how I pray for better days.
How can anyone wake up in the morning and decide to hate whole groups of people, for no earthly reason but hate itself? I will never understand it.
Thank you, JO’B, for finding the words to share how so many of us feel, being of white skin, but with a heart striving to birth an understanding of our undeniable human bonds, living bonds, aching with the need to find ways to lift such gentle people who have needlessly endured agony we cannot imagine, because of ignorant cruelty from those who refuse see how we are not different..
Everything you two have said is also how I feel. As an old white woman our family is doing ok in this pandemic and in some ways it makes me feel worse. My heart aches for all those who are being traumatized in this mess. It’s so hard for me to understand why folks hate so much. I am so thankful to come here know there is a community of love.
Same here for this white woman, mtmarilyn, mp and Jacqueline. I don’t say anything much, I am so ashamed of these police officers. It is evil personified and is heartbreaking.
Remember when we had to wake up to rage tweets with our coffee? The peace and quiet from President Biden is so refreshing. The coffee tastes better too 😉☕️☕️

I think stay away from the crowded bar. We are both vaccinated and we go out to eat and drink but stay at a distance from the next person because they might not be vaccinated. I still wear a mask when I am out. Be safe.
When I talk about the weight of GRIEF, I am talking about Black folks who have to show up daily, playing nice, knowing those hired to protect do not believe our lives matter. You* carry the baseline heaviness of survival as we struggle with this astronomical additional load…
Daunte Wright called his mom. George Floyd cried out for his. The helplessness of being a Mother to a Black son who you can’t protect in this this country is maddening.

VISHU: equal.
Celebrated on April 14th or 15th in Kerala, southwest India. Vishu means ‘equal’ in Sanskrit.
“It takes place on the first day of the Malayalam month Medam (mid-April), which marks the traditional Spring Equinox when the duration of day and night are equal….The astronomical Spring Equinox takes place on March 20th or 21st. The reason for the difference is that the sun rising in the constellation of Aries was used at the way of observing the equinox. Due to the wobble of the earth, this date shifts over the centuries, showing the great age of this festival.”

“Vishu is a celebration of the eternal bond between man and nature.
Each year in Kerala, the festival of Vishnu is a call to redeem and restore our rich culture of protecting and worshipping nature….Understanding plants, trees and every other creation to be a part of our own selves, we should protect them. Every year may Vishu mark the start of such yajna (sacrifice). We should train our children to plant saplings and to cultivate vegetables and fruits….
May the tree of our life be firmly planted in the soil of love; Let good deeds be the leaves on that tree; May words of kindness form its flowers; And may peace be its fruits. Let us grow and unfold as one family, united in love, so that we may rejoice and celebrate our oneness in a world where peace and contentment prevail.”

In a statement provided to PoliticusUSA,
President Obama said:
“President Biden has made the right decision in completing the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
Today, we should pause to pay tribute to the extraordinary sacrifices of the Americans who have served in our longest war, as well as their families. We also honor the allies who served alongside us and the Afghan people who have suffered so much in pursuit of a better future for their country. It has been a long and arduous struggle in Afghanistan, rooted in our response to the deadliest terrorist attack on the U.S. homeland in our history.
American troops, diplomats, and development workers can take pride in their efforts to deliver justice for 9/11, destroy al Qaeda’s safe-haven, train Afghan Security Forces, and support the people of Afghanistan.
Since we began to draw down U.S. forces in 2011, the United States made clear to the Afghan government that we would be gradually transitioning responsibility for security while creating time and space for efforts to improve governance and pursue diplomacy. Nearly a decade later, it is time to turn the page to the next chapter of our relationship with Afghanistan. There will be very difficult challenges and further hardship ahead in Afghanistan, and the U.S. must remain engaged diplomatically and through our development efforts to support the Afghan people, particularly those who have taken extraordinary risks on behalf of human rights. But after nearly two decades of putting our troops in harm’s way, it is time to recognize that we have accomplished all that we can militarily, and that it’s time to bring our remaining troops home. I support President Biden’s bold leadership in building our nation at home and restoring our standing around the world.”

Make the term limit 20 yrs & add 6 seats. Stagger terms so that each presidential term gets 3 guaranteed appointments (20% of the court). The 15 seats would refresh every 5 terms.
Lowers the stakes, still preserves independence, & lets every election predictably influence SCOTUS
Good idea. Make SC makeup less of an election issue, which is a completely different democratic exercise. No one president or party should influence the court completely.

@donlemon Interesting, meaningful story and good guest on your show tonight ~ first we've heard of it, and glad you mentioned her website: https://t.co/DfpF3nw5F4
Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division to investigate "law enforcement misconduct" against Lt. Caron Nazario in Windsor, VA.
Amk I heard that the Senate has not approved many of the people DOJ Garlabd needs to help him run the DOJ. They just interviewed the lady that will be in charge of Civil Rights in DOJ.
After storming the Capitol and assaulting 2 police officers, he: -fried his cellphone in the microwave -stashed his guns at a friend's house -planned an escape to Switzerland to avoid extradition. He never got there. He's in jail now.https://t.co/DJFGeNgKpJ@jackiepeiser
President Biden & Vice President Harris are getting us out of Afghanistan and punishing Russia for attacking us, all while they're saving our lives and the economy with shots in arms and checks in banks.
And people wonder why their approval ratings are so high…
“Jan. 6th Would Have Been A Massacre If Police Reacted Like They Do To BLM Protests”
“It is very hard not to see some fundamental contradictions in how our country, the state, wields force against its citizens,” says Chris Hayes, comparing police responses in Black Lives Matter protests and the Capitol riot.”
Chris Hayes:
“As police mobilize against protest in Minnesota, a damning report shows that Capitol police knew a violent mob was coming January 6th and chose not to act.”
“On January 6 there was relatively speaking, almost no one there.”
Hayes:
“Again who is doing the intimidating? Who is ordering who around in those interactions?
During the insurrection, it is the overwhelmingly white mob telling the cops what to do, barking orders at them. It is the mob with the authority. It is the mob that has the cops trying to cajole, negotiate with the rioters. I mean, you can hardly blame them. They’re outnumbered. They’re in physical danger, right? But the fact that it got to that point. The fact that it got to that point is what’s so shocking.”
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: “Is there any chance I could get you guys to leave the Senate wing? I just want to let you guys know…”
Hayes:
“Any chance I can get you guys to leave the Capitol?
I mean, how many Black folks in this country that have been pulled over for – a tail light, air freshener?
How many get THAT as the opening line of the officer at the window?
That police officer gently asking insurrectionists to leave the Senate chamber.
This was the attitude despite the fact there are hundreds of people at that moment violently invading the center of American democracy, in an explicit attempt to subvert the peaceful transfer of power. Despite the fact that nearly 150 police officers were injured, cops their eyes gouged out, and were beaten, and tased, and crushed, and concussed, and threatened to be shot with their own guns.”

“It is very hard not to see some fundamental contradictions in how our country, the state, wields force against its citizens,” says Chris Hayes, comparing police responses in Black Lives Matter protests and the Capitol riot.”
Chris Hayes:
“As police mobilize against protest in Minnesota, a damning report shows that Capitol police knew a violent mob was coming January 6th and chose not to act.”
“On January 6 there was relatively speaking, almost no one there.”
Hayes:
“Again who is doing the intimidating? Who is ordering who around in those interactions?
During the insurrection, it is the overwhelmingly white mob telling the cops what to do, barking orders at them. It is the mob with the authority. It is the mob that has the cops trying to cajole, negotiate with the rioters. I mean, you can hardly blame them. They’re outnumbered. They’re in physical danger, right? But the fact that it got to that point. The fact that it got to that point is what’s so shocking.”

Hayes:
“Any chance I can get you guys to leave the Capitol?
I mean, how many Black folks in this country that have been pulled over for – a tail light, air freshener?
How many get THAT as the opening line of the officer at the window?
That police officer gently asking insurrectionists to leave the Senate chamber.
This was the attitude despite the fact there are hundreds of people at that moment violently invading the center of American democracy, in an explicit attempt to subvert the peaceful transfer of power. Despite the fact that nearly 150 police officers were injured, cops their eyes gouged out, and were beaten, and tased, and crushed, and concussed, and threatened to be shot with their own guns.”
