The Guardian: ‘We’re tired of being beaten’: protesters across US call for justice for Tyre Nichols
After video of the brutal beating was released, people gathered to decry the violence and abuse of power https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jan/28/tyre-nichols-protests-marches-police-violence #TyreNichols #BLM

Can't watch the entire video of #TyreNichols brutal murder at the hands of police.

It's too painful.

His family doesn't want you to remember how he died.

His family released a video of Tyre Nichols doing one of his favorite things he truly enjoyed: skateboarding.

Let's remember him as he lived. ❤️

“The Department of Justice should launch an immediate investigation of the so-called SCORPION unit of the Memphis Police Department. What they are likely to find is a gang of thugs with badges, guns, tasers and police cruisers. It’s probably a good idea to take most all of that away.”

Jan Resseger: What Does It Mean for Our Children and Our Society that State Legislators Don’t Know What Teachers Do? https://networkforpubliceducation.org/blog-content/jan-resseger-what-does-it-mean-for-our-children-and-our-society-that-state-legislators-dont-know-what-teachers-do/ #Education

I did a reverse image search based on the screengrab I got from Fox News. The visually-similar images were all from police websites, and “Find Image Source” told me the source was … the NYPD (which, I figured, was likely because of the NYPD shield in the image — more on that in a second). Tineye didn’t find any matching images. So I kept hunting. 4/

Additional searching led me to this tweet from from “Rob O’Donnell,” which is the first appearance I’ve been able to find of the supposed “antifa poster” online. The Daily Mail article was published about an hour after the tweet.

The person who tweeted it (“Rob”) is a former NYPD detective. So perhaps that reverse image search was leading me in the right direction? 5/

fuck up Nazis, yes. make their bullshit unacceptable. make them afraid to show their damn faces or speak their hate.

BUT THIS MUST BE PAIRED WITH

positive action toward the oppressed groups they target. they MUST be supported, protected, welcomed

be suspicious as fuck of anyone who is super excited about punching Nazis but "meh" on actually helping the people Nazis target

cos those folx aren't rejecting the marginalization, just the crass approach to it

It will never cease to amaze me that we said, "hey, actually, it *does* matter if Black people live or die," and that made white people lose they muthafuckin mind.
