Ermittlungen im Fall Lorenz A. – Ohne Warnschuss erschossen – #BLM #polizeiproblem #polizeigewalt
Die Polizei hat im Fall des getöteten Lorenz A. laut Staatsanwaltschaft wohl keinen Warnschuss abgegeben. Ob Anklage erhoben wird, ist nicht sicher. Die tödlichen Schüsse des Polizisten trafen Lorenz A. in der Nacht zu Ostersonntag wohl ohne Vorwarnung

"L.A. Deputy Who Bodyslammed Black Woman, Pinned Knee on Her Neck, and Pepper-Sprayed Her for Filming Arrest to Only Serve Four Months In Prison After Trump Ally Intervenes."

And those who think that being White makes them immune to police violence are stupid idiots*.

*well, they're racist to start with so they're already pretty much at the bottom of the cognitive scale anyway.

Belated posting of these, but sometime in May this series of signs appeared on South Street, in an official-looking installation (bolted to bands around the lamp posts). I'd guess it's an art installation of some kind? Appears to be on both sides of at least a couple of blocks, although I didn't go much farther to tell where it might peter out.

A rectangular metal sign shows two proud looking Black faces, back to back, their necks and shoulders turning into church buildings. The background is beams of alternating red and white like rays coming up from their bodies. Text over their heads reads "Faith Unites and Strengthens Our Bond"
Centered is the face of a Black woman with short hair, looking the right. Below her two hands are holding a black-and-white photo showing a variety of Black women from the last 60-70 years, some recognizeable immediately and others less well known, with a variety of hair and dress styles. Purple and white beams in the background. Above and around the main head are the words "We are stories".
In the center is what looked like a framed mirror, with an ornately worked wood frame, but instead of a reflection, the inside seems to show outer space, in blue with a smear of stars and galaxies. On top of that image, there are words made of nonmatching individual letters, as though cut out of magazines, which read "black futures matter." On the right is a Black woman with long brades, looking loosely toward the mirror -- her eyes are blocked with a sort of grilled band that reminds me of Jori LeForge from Star Trek (Next Gen), that ends in a flower over her ear.
Background is a mix of cloud-studded sky and some kind of elaborate material pattern like gold brocade. In the middle is a reddish circle, and projecting into it from the lower right corner are a pair of slim Black hands with long fingers, held close together, palms toward the viewer -- in one is a gold key, and in the other is a gold compass with a black needle. In magazine cut-out letters like the last image is sritten "Our histories matter."

Renaming Ships, Trashing the Legacy of Courageous Achievement

Trump's #DefSec Pete Hegseth seeks the erasure of great & brave Americans like Harvey Milk, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Thurgood Marshall & Medgar Evans b/c they don’t align w/ their sick, twisted view of the world.

It might be the most beautiful walk you could go on, ON TOP of being one of the most historic avenues to freedom.

But it is in Canada, and for those leaving the US and returning to the US after the walk of freedom, it may put themselves at risk of the growing fascist ICE and border threat.

👉 Canadians of every history and creed should join rhe trail.👈

In Canada we don't tolerate, we celebrate. 🇨🇦

Today in Labor History June 2, 1863: Backed by three gunboats, Harriet Tubman and her force of 300 black soldiers, freed 800 enslaved people in the Combahee River Raid, South Carolina. Furthermore, they set fire to the plantations and destroyed millions of dollars-worth of stores, cotton and homes of the wealthy, without losing a single person. Additionally, it was the only military engagement in American history where a woman, black or white, “led the raid and under whose inspiration it was originated and conducted.” Tubman devised her war strategy after repeatedly penetrating across enemy lines and spying on Confederate troop movements. In the aftermath, Confederate Captain John F. Lay said, “The enemy seems to have been well posted as to the character and capacity of our troops and their small chance of encountering opposition, and to have been well guided by persons thoroughly acquainted with the river and country.” Most Americans know of Tubman’s role in the Underground Railroad. However, she was also a spy for the Union Army. And in the late 1850s, she helped John Brown plan his raid on Harper’s Ferry and recruit supporters for the raid.

Sudan. The greatest humanitarian & displacement disaster in the world. Starvation, killings, rape, blocked aid as weapons of war. 14 million people displaced. 150,000 dead by 2023. 25.6 million in extreme hunger. Famine alone has killed an estimated 522,000 children. 15million in need of healthcare.

Five years after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a cracker murderpig named Derek Chauvin, it's easy to look at police murder and use of force statistics, as well as a white nationalist Trump regime, and conclude the 2020 uprising failed; which is precisely what a pro-cop liberal "reformist" chatterati is doing. The reality is however that "a system cannot fail those it was never designed to protect" and the lack of legislative progress to protect our civil rights from police abuses falls on the elected reformers not advocates and abolitionists in the streets. The 2020 Uprising taught us to band together because we are all targets in for the carceral state in the right circumstances; and just in time too, because Donald Trump is dead serious about transforming law enforcement into his own fascist army.

The Widening Maw of Racialized Police Violence

"The reality is that Downmarket Mussolini has only been back in the White House for four and a half months, and these police killing statistics go back years into a Biden administration that was elected in part, to specifically stop racialized police violence in response to the protests; the city where George Floyd was slowly murdered on camera by a sociopathic cop is in a Democratic-controlled State, run by one of the most progressive Governors in America. For a larger liberal establishment in the United States that had no answer for Trump at the ballot box to point at the Kelpto Kaiser’s racist authoritarian regime and declare the movement against police violence and white supremacist policing has failed, is one part deflection, and one part scapegoating. It is ultimately reductive to argue that the 2020 George Floyd protests were by themselves responsible for the broader fascist “white-lash” driving Trump’s second rise to power in an already white supremacist America, and disempowering to believe organized resistance against that white supremacy accomplished nothing merely because a state that was never designed to protect racialized people, or the labor class in general, refused to take meaningful action against police violence. Those hard-fought hours in the streets opened a broad swathe of society’s eyes to the racist and violent nature of American policing, taught communities across the globe how to organize in the face of state-sanctioned repression, and helped make so many young people “woke” that the fascist Trump regime is trying to make “wokeness” illegal. We cannot un-see what we have observed, or unknow what we learned during the uprising, and the affliction of knowing cannot be cured with rubber bullets and tear gas."
