the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

i pray they find this shooter because the idea of him being on the loose with major rallies planned today is absolutely horrifying

What the 2020 Protests Can Teach Us About Protesting Today "It is up to us to change everything. But, against the doomers, I believe in this moment we may be uniquely poised to do so."

for the last 5 years I've thought daily of the solidarity, creativity and care I saw during the 2020 uprisings.

I asked @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social, @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, @deanspade.bsky.social +more what lessons from then we can use now @teenvogue.com

If you care about keeping Black and Brown youth safe in #chicago without putting them in the criminal legal system, then join us next week! If you believe we can hold teens accountable through restorative practices then join us next week! If you believe youth deserve to have safe spaces join us!

I've been documenting movements for nearly 20 years & marching w/them for another 10 on top of that. There's a very narrow window of what pundits/politicians think is "acceptable" & it's usually based on an unattainable myth bc the truth is - a lot of them don't want any kind of activism at all.

β€œThis is not our fight” is a naive position that reveals small-minded, homogenizing ideas of Black people as a whole, as well as Black history. Nearly every fight has been a Black fight because of internal diversity and because we don't have the luxury of not being targeted in every way possible.

"But the protestors being gased are peaceful!"

Tell me you weren't paying attention in 2020,without telling me you weren't paying attention

2020 was a big Public, well documented year of the police acting like themselves in front of cameras

But Many of y'all didn't care to learn that at all I see

They high key don’t care about violence happening in marginalized communities, they just don’t want that to come downtown, they want it contained in the hood! If they did care about saving teen lives then they’d be rushing to pass the #peacebook instead of wasting time on a curfew!

We’re wishing survivors a swift recovery. We’re glad that they will receive trauma informed care from Comers Children Hospital. Youth need as much support services as possible. That’s why it’s infuriating to us that some of city council is worried about teen trends instead of teen lives! ThreadπŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ§΅πŸ§΅

Johnson Says He β€˜Inherited Quite the Mess’ As Chicago Struggles With Cost of Police Misconduct Lawsuits β€œLook, we have inherited quite the mess,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said, emphasizing that many of the lawsuits allege misconduct that occurred decades ago.

We’re sick of the hypocrisy! Some alders are cool with being racist & fascist towards youth by imposing a 8pm curfew instead of investing in our safety! But quick to blow through $82 million to CPD for killing, brutalizing & arresting innocent people!

Gun violence is terrible no matter who it impacts but it’s extra hurtful and disgusting when a child is harmed and/or killed. Justice for this baby and justice for them all! Stop the violence Chicago!
