Big news from the trucker convoy:

1/ The People's Convoy (the largest organization) has officially "cut ties" with Leigh Dundas, an anti-vax lawyer who was involved with the Jan. 6 insurrection. Image
2/ For background on Dundas' involvement, the People's Convoy joined forces with her in early February, & they met on Zoom to iron out logistics. Here's Dundas on 2/4: "US convoy coming soon.... I'm working with a lot of different trucking factions over the next 48 hours here."
3/ It's not clear exactly why the People's Convoy has parted ways with Dundas beyond this statement: "We only have like-minded individuals in our organization and are continually rooting out people that do not have the best interest of the convoy in mind."
4/ Whatever the reason for the split, Dundas has been speaking at every stop on the convoy. Here she is at a recent stop making a highly emotive appeal by equating COVID restrictions w/ child sex trafficking — basically as different kinds of "tyranny."
5/ In the past these kinds of hyperbolic charges mixed with misinformation have escalated into calls for violence, as on 1/5/21 when Dundas suggested it would be justifiable to "take [elected officials] out back and shoot 'em or hang 'em."

I’m at the Hagerstown Speedway for the #TruckersConvoy rally. Hard to say how many people are here but it’s definitely hundreds.
2/ Organizer Brian Brase is vague about what will happen tomorrow. “What that is, is yet to be determined. Bear with us.”
3/ One speaker says “10,000 truckers are trying to get in.” That might be exaggerated, but the speedway is on a two-lane road, and I saw vehicles backed up 2.5 miles

20 reflections on Darryl Hunt:

1/ The wrongful conviction of Darryl Hunt, a Black man falsely accused of murdering a white woman, and the 19 years he spent in prison, is an emblem of the deeply entrenched racism that has disfigured Winston-Salem, NC. (photo via @JournalNow) Image
2/ In its own way, the Darryl Hunt saga is an equivalent trauma to what the Greensboro Massacre inflicted on its neighbor 30 miles to the east. Image
3/ I didn’t know Hunt personally, although I ran into him from time to time at public events while writing for @Triad_City_Beat. But I’ve had the honor of getting to know Larry Little, who was an early champion of Hunt’s innocence. Image
