This podcast sums up everyday the protests that have happened in the country

The Seattle shooter walked towards the cops, giving them a thumbs up while concealing a gun in his hoodie.

Fascists as usual will do the rhetorical jumps they always do, claim that there's no institutional racism but defend and give the thumbs up to the police.

Hats off, honestly

We also wanted to take a moment to recognize those who have been injured or died during the uprising over the last week at the hands of the cops and others against the movement - Rest in Power!

Let's compare a few numbers shall we?

Which job do you think has more deaths (I'm not normalizing this per number of people in the job because I'm trying to explain the raw numbers)

More retail workers die per year due to their job than cops die per year in the line of duty.

We are literally working retail workers to death and severe injury. What the fuck is our society.

Alex S. #Vitale - The End of Policing

#ART The protests are needed, my gun is gone, theres tape on my mouth and rope on my arms, i stand outside naked and dying for all to see, the people around me wishing me free, while those far away laugh at the display, those people, they earned they laugh and they geer, and all o wish is for them to come near,see how i suffer, see how i cry,see how the pain makes me wish i could die, you dont have to do much just stand by my side,show that on our freedom you would find pride,hold my beaten hand and offer me water, keep us safe from those who wish for our slaughter, give me a shoulder and a hand to hold, tell me through all this pain I've been bold, I've ben strong, I've held firm, i stood my ground, let me rest in this moment, this peace i have found,hold my hand as i die and take my place, this battle for freedom is no race. --Willamina Thonks
