My nephew was on his way home from school & was randomly targeted by the police. When he asked why they wrestled him to the ground & put their knee on his neck. @metpoliceuk the way you target black children is DISGUSTING! You could have killed him! #justice4K
It’s sad that I have to make these disclaimers but my nephew is 16, literally the sweetest & most gentle person you will ever meet. He is not affiliated with any gangs or been in any sort of trouble in his life! He’s just a child that has suffered in the hands of @metpoliceuk
When the officers in the video were asked why did they stop him, they said they couldn’t say yet. You can hear my nephew saying he didn’t want 2go with them because he was scared, but they took him in & drove around in the van for hours! @metpoliceuk that’s kidnapping #justice4K

NO SHOW: Larry Ray was supposed to be brought here to court for his argument that suffocating Claudia Drury was not physical injury, only fear. But it will go forward without him. Threadette below
Apparently, because Larry Ray kept pimping Drury out after strangling her, her "work was not impaired." That's what Federal Defenders are arguing. #JohnListGone
Judge Liman asks, What if a person emailed a photo of a gun in order to menace? And notes he is not bound by the DOJ guidance that Federal Defender cited

Recently, Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah described to me how Israel is forcibly evicting them to make way for a Jewish only neighborhood.

An American accented Israeli breaks into a Palestinian home in Sheikh Jarrah and tells its owners that they can do nothing to stop the Judaization of neither the neighborhood, nor East Jerusalem.

SCOOP: Colorado control freak public health bureaucrats told a local school last Friday that they can regulate breathing, because "BREATHING CONSTITUTES MOVEMENT." I obtained redacted public records material (CORA). OMG. #stopthecovidchaos #recallpolis #reopencolorado

2/n Why is @senatemajldr more worried about an imaginary epidemic of lawsuits than the real epidemic? This would only invite more reckless behavior, and more people would get sick and die, says Rob Weissman, head of @Public_Citizen

3/n @SenSchumer: Republicans are fighting for corporate immunity at the expense of essential workers who risk their safety, and that of their families, every day. The only way to reopen the economy is if workers and consumers are safe and protected. #PeopleNotPolluters
I want to bring it back to #BlackLivesMatterAustralia and share some of the stories/voices of the families that I'm working closely with.
There's 438 black deaths since 1991. There are so many stories you should know. #SayTheirNames

Blak deaths in custody continue at horrific rates - despite 29 years ago a Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths In Custody which set out a roadmap of why and how to prevent blak deaths. The 339 recommendations have been ignored. Read them here. austlii.edu.au/au/other/Indig…
Blak deaths in custody continue for many reasons but largely the systemic, structural & direct racism in the justice & coronial systems, lack of accountability & because we are mass incarcerated in the first place. Our mob are 28% of prisons but only 2% of the population.
Ένα ιατροδικαστικό πόρισμα δεν έχει καμία ουσιαστική αξία για την καταδίκη ή μη της αστυνομικής βίας και της σημερινής χούντας. Από την στιγμή που υπάρχει βίντεο ντοκουμέντο και μαρτυρίες για την απόπειρα δολοφονίας του Βασίλη, ---->
το εάν κατέληξε τελικά από τα τραύματα του ή από κορονοϊό δεν αναιρούν τις ευθύνες της δολοφονικής πολιτικής που ασκείται από τον εκάστοτε Χρυσοχοΐδη. ----->
Αν είσαι από αυτούς που είπαν #icantbreathe για τον Floyd των ΗΠΑ δεν έχεις δικαίωμα να αδιαφορήσεις για τον #Βασίλη_Μάγγο. Η αστυνομική βία πρέπει να καταδικάζεται παντού και πάντα γιατί είναι προϊόν φασισμού και ο φασισμός πρέπει να τσακίζεται απ' όπου και αν προέρχεται.

I recognize the right of the people of #CHAZ to self determination and independence, I'm thinking of giving them some oil wells in #Alaska to survive; maybe #Russia can help secure those wells, and calling on freedom fighters of the world to move there:
SATO (South Atlantic Treaty Organizations) should immediately deploy in #CHAZ and secure its territories from the regime of #DonaldTrump which in real oppress and kill their own citizens live on camera with support of the #US National Guards militias.

Lots of people gathering now around Sogo in Causeway Bay for #June12 anniversary. Poster of that day’s events are displayed. Lots of police too, both riot & undercover. Remember:all protests are still banned &police have announced thousands of cops are out tonight to prevent them
20.08 In Mong Kok, a large number of citizens have been indiscriminately kettled, presumably for stop&search. This is a frequently employed rights-abusing technique of the police. Very large police presence near Langham Place.
People also gathering in New Town Plaza mall in Sha Tin.

(THREAD) In high school or college, a friend gifted me a copy of BLACK RAGE - a reflection of two Black psychiatrists (Grier & Cobbs) who "tell it as it is" and "reveal the full dimensions of the inner conflicts and the desperation of the Black man's life in America."
1/ Unfortunately, I never read more than a few pages. And I'm not sure why he gave it to me - maybe he knew something I didn't or couldn't fully appreciate at the time. Or maybe he had heard of the novelist, playwright, essayist, poet, and activist James Baldwin.
2/ Last week, I observed many angry reactions to George Floyd's murder, but had a different response. Something more like emotional detachment/disconnection. At times, I felt like a dispassionate spectator and wondered what was wrong with me. (Answer: nothing.)

THREAD: Hearing protestors chant in unison "#ICantBreathe," is something that hits viscerally. It's a call for the importance of our individual lives. We have the right to life, and we want to stay alive. George Floyd was dispossessed of the air he needed to exist. He was killed.
Withholding air is also not the only way of dispossessing someone of their rightful access to what they need to live. We all need air, but we also all need food. We can't breathe if we can't eat, and understanding that is understanding that poverty itself is injustice. It kills.
Poverty is misunderstood as a lack of resources, but poverty as it exists today is a legal status. It's a violent act of dispossession that creates poverty. Hundreds of years ago, there was no such thing as having nothing, because we had the planet as a shared natural resource.
