We just filed another mistaken identity case
A SWAT team showed up to arrest someone as a nearby school let out students for lunch. They held a random kid at gun point because he had the same skin color as the suspect, & still perp walked him after realizing their mistake

It's fine really. They think ICE dropped out the sky & don't wanna analyze any factors that created it that marginalized people can tell you all about from our experience of this country, it requires them to interrogate whiteness. So you don't want solutions. You're not down. You not with the crew.

People in Ukraine are starving.
They are freezing.
They are dying.
Parents skip meals so their kids can eat. Elderly neighbors burn scraps to survive the night. Missiles destroy power grids; winter finishes the job.
They need our support—now.

I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.
