Jonathan Ross, who shot Renee Good in the face, is local. Derek Chauvin, who knelt on George Floyd's neck, is local.
State and local law enforcement know the communities they serve. They’ve built the trust and know how to keep us safe.
As Minnesotans express their first amendment rights, I encourage you to remain peaceful and know that local law enforcement has one goal in mind: your safety.

not to be disabled and grumpy on main this morning but I would have a lot more hope for collective action in this country if leftists who have been repeatedly begged to do so would show me they’re willing to wear masks for a couple of hours in public spaces like protests and doctor’s offices

listen & learn & change for the better.
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I wasn’t informed before about all of your politics. i thought it was cool you’re queer like me. But I am informed now. And respectfully? you’ll have to earn my vote next election.
Which you can do by getting ICE off our streets and actually giving a shit about the genocide in Palestine.

Reposting this just to say that the grind mindset is actively detrimental to the creative process. I wish more shows and productions embraced a slower pace. I’m co GMing my first VTM chronicle and we had like 6-8 months of preproduction before starting recording.

🥹❤️ I love that you find our show easy to listen to. We produce our episodes slowly and with lots of care to make sure they’re easy to follow, because I struggle to listen to most shows myself!!
I can’t wait for you to catch up 👀!

2. Not clear why posters are uploading that unredacted, uncensored video to this niche social media site full of people who already hate ICE. What are you doing???
