THREAD - Upcoming solar eclipse in Mrigashira Nakshatra and American protests.

Mrigashira nakshatra is all about searching and finding the truth. The symbolisation of nakshatra is related with Deer’s head and the major symbol is deer. The deer is always on search but fails 1/7 Image
to see that the things which he is searching around are already within itself. Moreover, deer is a gentle animal and therefore this nakshatra is a soft one. Though it is a soft nakshatra, but still the ruler ship of mars leads to aggressive patterns. Deer is always roaming 2/8
around in a forest and this causes restlessness. Therefore this nakshatra can make you feel uneasy and suffocated. So,it is important to channelize your mind on right path.Mrigashira nakshatra rules over roads and pathways. Thus, people can utilize the roads and pathways to 3/8

To the Trauma and Medical community,

First, I’d like to thank the @SoMe4Trauma team for graciously hosting this discussion on #racism and #AntiBlackRacism in medicine and the role trauma plays.

#SoMe4Trauma
The recent #GeorgeFloydMurder in Mnpls, MN has galvanized the world to protest in support of the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

Cause of death: "asphyxiation from sustained pressure" when his neck and back were compressed by Minneapolis police officers”

cnn.com/2020/06/01/us/…
It didn’t have to take a second autopsy to confirm what the entire world saw on that video. A video I, and many Black parents, still can’t bear to watch.

But the fact that a second autopsy was performed at the request of Mr. Floyd’s family is pertinent to this discussion.

Let's walk the talk.

Let's fight racialised oppression for real.

Let's put decolonization on the agenda for changing racist power structures for real.

#Decolonisation is an essential element for any recovery plan for #Europe in order to overcome structural racism & social issues exacerbated by #COVID19.

Replacing statues of criminals with memorials to their millions of victims is a great starting point. #BlackLivesMatter Image
What #BlackLivesMatter means in #Europe?
Why EU is so silent?
Why No action on commissioners who deny racism?
Why politicians who have taken part in #blackface end up being an commissioner?
Why no non-white #EU commissioners?

🚨BREAKING: Official autopsy report finds #GeorgeFloyd had #coronavirus. Hennepin County Medical Examiner's full report says he tested positive April 3. Wow. Every crisis in America is intersecting! #covid19
Confirmed here: postmortem nasal swab was taken, which confirmed that Floyd was positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It is noted that Floyd was known to be positive for COVID-19 on April 3. kstp.com/news/george-fl…
3) The postmortem positivity likely reflects asymptomatic but persistent PCR positivity from previous infection, the report said.

“pulmonary vascular tree is free of thromboemboli. The tracheobronchial tree is free of blood, edema fluid, or foreign material” ➡️ likely recovered

To those who say the UK isn't as bad as the US, a short thread on a personal experience of #racism in the justice system.

Waiting at a Crown Court (out of London) for my trial to be called on - the trial ahead is delayed. 3 black males walk out of court and sit opposite me.
The males had been in the public gallery (ie watching proceedings, not defendants) are impeccably behaved and appropriately dressed for a court building. 2 appear to be together, 1 is set apart from the others and says good morning to me which is why i notice them.
Enquire from usher why the trial ahead is delayed. "A juror has complained that she feels intimidated by the defendant's gang". Assume the case is gang related - no, no, it's a drugs case and the "gang" is the 3 lads now sat outside court

⚠️AUTOPSY REPORT MAYBE MISLEADING on #GeorgeFloyd death. “Combination of force & health problems contributed to death” muddies the cause. Often usually “multiple causes of death” codes assigned to a death. But there is also a single “UNDERLYING CAUSE OF DEATH”. What is UCD? 🧵
2) The underlying cause-of-death is defined as: as "the disease or injury which initiated the train of events leading directly to death, or the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury.”

➡️ UCD is considered the most important...
3) George Floyd may have had heart disease but the chance he would die naturally of it in any given 9 min span was slim to nil. The trigger event was the officer kneeling on top of him for 9 min. The trigger is the key UCD cause, not the lack of blood flow or heart condition.

The #GeorgeFloydMurder is the latest in a long history of #racist atrocities visited on Black people & minorities in the US & elsewhere.

If u are in some position of authority, power, privilege & have a public platform you need to speak up and be counted. A v personal #thread
I am brown of Indian origin, but when asked, I always say I don't really know what #racism looks like, I have almost never experienced it, and I am in a position of power and privilege so I don't think its appropriate for me to speak about it. But today, I write about it here ...
I grew up in India, when to the @LSEnews & took a investment banking job at #Lehman. When I flew back to #India, I went to the UK embassy in Delhi to get my work visa. That was my first #racist encounter. He barked at me, said he could turn me down coz "too many of us in the UK"

I want to be crystal clear here... the Dayton police got violent first. As some protesters tried to outflank the line of bike cops, this officer, armed with a paintball gun, began firing on people.
The police then donned gas masks and began threatening to disperse the crowd violently. I saw water splashed from a water bottle above the frontline before the first wide spread use of pepper spray. The only injured cop I saw was suffering from the effects of their own spray.
After a few minutes, a Dayton police cruiser drove into the back of the crowd and began forcing its way towards the line. The driver nearly hit several marchers, and several water bottles were thrown at the car, not at the officers in the line.

They take responsibility, you don't need to take their credit to blame cartels and white nationalist

Thread: After covering civil unrest from US embassies in other countries, it has been sad to see past 72 hours. In trying to make sense of it all, here are things that I would have likely covered in a cable on #riots2020 #GeorgeFloydMurder
2 -The murder of #georgefloyd appears to be a Mohammad Bouazizi-type trigger that has affected the majority of the country and unleashed pent up anger from a significant portion of the populous.
3- It would be a mistake to discount those on streets to a small segment, grouping, or insignificant. The size, scale, & daring nature in almost ever major city highlight the level of anger. Also important to note it is taking place during pandemic-quarantine in most cities.

Now that the medical examiner’s report is coming out, I’m going to share the EMT report that the fire department released. #GeorgeFloydMurder 1/
E17 is the fire truck that was called in to assist the ambulance. It was started on a “code-two,” meaning no lights/no sirens, for a reported “trauma to mouth.” 2/
Once EMTs arrived on the scene, however, the call was upgraded by the dispatcher to a “code-three,” meaning lights on/sirens on. 3/

This afternoon, @realDonaldTrump on #GeorgeFloydMurder: “It’s very important, I believe, to the family, to everybody that the memory of George Floyd be a perfect memory, let it be a perfect memory. /1
The looters should not be allowed to drown out the voices of so many peaceful protesters. They hurt so badly what is happening and it's so bad for the state and for that great city. /2
So we are working very closely with the Justice Department, we’re working with local law enforcement, we’re working with everybody and we’re speaking with the family and hopefully everything can be fairly taken care of. I understand the hurt. /3

1/ I'm not sure if I know what to do or say right now.

But to all of my friends & colleagues (students, residents, fellows, & faculty) who are angry, sad, & scared about the racist #GeorgeFloydMurder: I am also angry & sad.
2/ My white skin affords me the privilege of not experiencing the same fear that my black and brown friends & colleagues experience. But I am scared for my friends, and I am scared for our country.

For those who have grown up in a different reality: I see you, and I stand by you
3/ I will do my part to vote, educate myself, speak out when others say or do racist things, and become an upstander rather than a bystander.

Although I cannot understand what you are going through, I am here for you.

This is not okay.

V Minneapolis/St. Paul začaly předevčírem protesty proti policii poté, co 4 místní policisté slovy starosty 'zavraždili' Afroameričana během zatýkání. Protesty se včera na několika místech bohužel změnily i v rabování. Zkusím krátce vysvětlit proč se to děje:
Minneapolis je výjimečně bohaté, prosperující a zároveň relativně levné město. Prostě skvělé k životu.
theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
Problém je v tom, že tato prosperita se v drtivé míře týká pouze bělošského obyvatelstva. Většinou si segregaci spojujeme s jihem USA, ale Minneapolis je minimálně v oblasti bydlení a přístupu ke kvalitním školám jedno z nejsegregovanějších měst v USA.
