Just witnessed a scuffle between #BLM protesters and police at Madison Square Park #NYC
From what I gathered, this group of protesters broke off from larger faction marching and tried to cut across to Madison Square Park #NYCProtests #Breaking #NYC
The NYPD swarmed the area and formed a line between the east side entrance of Madison Square Park & officers arresting at least 4-6 protesters #NYCProtests @ABC7NY @CBSNewYork @NBCNewYork

I saw a sign yesterday at the #Seattleprotest that I've been mulling over, and I've decided I need to talk about it. This might get long and might be vaguely disorganized, and please bear with me - it's important. 1/22
“Empathy is not allyship.”

One more time for emphasis: Empathy is NOT allyship. 2/22
Bluntly - it doesn’t matter if you feel bad about events or feel pity for the people involved *if you aren’t willing to actively do something about it*. It doesn’t matter. “Feeling bad” about events happening is irrelevant. Feeling bad is the embarrassingly bare minimum. 3/22

I don’t know how many protests you’ve been to, but your average thunderstorm protest doesn’t look like NYC right now
It’s an incredible protest in NYC tonight for Black Lives, against the NYPD destruction of Occupy City Hall, and against Trump’s threats, all in the pouring rain.
The NYPD just showed up in riot gear and tried to cut the peaceful march in half with barricades right before they got to city hall. Most marchers got through.

Anyone know any organizations where I can provide some pro bono legal services for protesters? I am admitted in NY and NJ and looking for an org to donate some time to. I am open to all recommendations. Please share, I would like to do good. #BlackLivesMatter #nycprotests
Just so there is no confusion, I am not offering direct legal aid at this time. I dont usually practice criminal law and am simply looking for an organization that can give me a crash course and the resources so that I can help people directly. I hope to be helping soon. Thanks.
I just cant even, the NYPD is so out of control. This is why I want to help. Our rights are being trampled on right before out eyes. We must stand up. If not now when?

A crowd of what looks like several hundred protesters are marching on the Upper West Side, more than a. Hour after curfew. Police are following along. This is at 61st and West End Avenue.
This crowd is in the thousands of people, all marching south on 10th Avenue into Hell’s Kitchen more than an hour into curfew. Local residents are leaning out their apartment windows banging pots and pans in support of the marchers. #nycprotests
Almost every apartment on this block of 10th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen has residents sitting on their fire escapes or leaning out their windows to cheer for the protesters #nycprotests #curfew

1. Me llega el aviso del toque de queda de Nueva York, que hoy empieza a las 20h, al mismo tiempo que me preparo para ir hacia Manhattan para contaros cómo está el panorama.
Desearme suerte. 😷✊

2. La cajera del supermercado de mi barrio no sabe a qué hora van a cerrar hoy (normalmente cierran a las 12 de la noche).
Ayer se les plantó una protesta pacífica delante del local (porque están enfrente de una comisaría) a las 20 h.

3. Desde la distancia Manhattan sigue como si nada. I ♥️🗽

For example, in Chile they have used handheld lasers to disorient and neutralize riot police.
In #HongKong they have a bunch of people ready to put out tear gas systematically, and constantly innovate on how to fight back

Se o assassinato de #GeorgeFloyd lembrou o de #EricGarner, a resposta da população lembra a resposta à absolvição dos policiais que espancaram #RodneyKing em 1992, em Los Angeles. Mineápolis em convulsão social #minneapolisriots
Delegacia de polícia em Mineápolis...

@USAmbIceland @usembreykjavik In #deathtotals this impostor leads.
At 100000 our nation bleeds.
As before: THERE’S NO PLAN.
Just this #ElCrappyTan
whose ineptness no one supersedes.

Try using SCIENCE.
Trump’s malfeasance?
It’s his failed appliance.
Donald flubbed the #pandemic. Response was anemic!
Upon Trump there exists no reliance.
