Day 130 Distress

The affective power of the mothers’ group singing lullabies and standing before the police relies on white women’s innocence and the sancitity of white motherhood as its driving force.

OMG now the mothers’ group are singing “hands up please don’t shoot me” in the style of a lullaby. Impossible to watch and not cry. pic.twitter.com/F5vvkbkbO7

The Mayor of D.C. kicked the Utah National Guard out of D.C. by threatening to bring a 3rd Amendment action against Trump.

.@DHS_Wolf just claimed Portland businesses have lost $23 million because of protests but @EvertonBailey debunked that figure ELEVEN DAYS ago. That's lost revenue *largely* due to COVID closures, not any #PortlandProtest. https://t.co/R8IzEx6I0k

This sweatshirt means something. If you see masked men taking a billyclub to someone wearing it…it’s time to ask questions about what sides are being taken…and by who.
