I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Is it really as easy as adjusting my expectations for myself? Is it really as easy as not judging myself, and hitting publish instead of cancel? Why is that so hard?

I think about this all the time. One Black president and one woman who got close. That’s it. That’s what they’re still mad about
Man, having one black president really fucked up a lot of Americans, huh?

This is normal for Black Americans. Our deaths are recorded for public consumption, the perpetrators get off, and the media commiserates that the victim brought it on themselves
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

ICE, America's Gestapo, is not a law enforcement agency that sometimes goes too far. Its entire purpose is violence and terror.
Every agent who puts on that uniform does so because they want to participate in a system designed to get the outcome we saw today in Minneapolis.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was murdered four fifths of a mile from where George Perry Floyd, Jr., 46, was murdered in May of 2020.
I want the media to understand just how close what happened today is to where George Floyd was murdered. 0.8 miles.

It pains me when I see women journalists share their work prefaced by “I wrote a thing.”
I used to do that. I don’t do it anymore.
Don’t minimize or trivialize your own work.
There are enough men willing to do that for you.
