Angel who is #Disabled and chronically ill has been fighting to keep her family housed @kshernandez has been advocating for them for months
There has been no movement and now this #Black family is #unhoused and in danger
Please help by sharing or contributing immediately even $1 can add up from the 200 people (was 700) who follow me here
People love to throw the idea of "long term" in the face of the unhoused but you drop short term care just as much

In Nov, a federal #jury found Brett Hankison, the #Louisville #police officer, #guilty of violating #BreonnaTaylor’s #CivilRights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot, becoming the first officer directly involved in the case to be convicted on #criminal charges.
Hankison faced a maximum sentence of life in prison.
#BreonnaTaylor died weeks before the #Minneapolis police killing of #GeorgeFloyd. The deaths helped ignite nationwide protests seeking greater police #accountability over the use of #ExcessiveForce against #Black people.
Dhillon’s memo says the #DOJ *respects* the jury’s verdict & that the conviction means Hankison will probably never be able to serve as a police officer or own a firearm. [unless of course #Trump pardons him]

FFS, you couldn't make it up.
@lexicaleigh the choice of picture as well is killing me. They had to look long and hard, because Bobby is always smiling so wholesomely, they probably did frame freezes to find something that fit the 'threatening #black man" narrative.

"As members of the Black and Latino LGBTQ and transgender and other communities come to the nation’s capital for World Pride in the coming days, many are under siege from multiple directions thanks to their multiple identities. They will hold individualized programs and celebrations that blend into World Pride.
"Their mutual jeopardy will be a unifying theme. The celebrations, music, food, parades, plays and parties will unfold against a backdrop of human rights and political strategizing and, in some cases, discussions about how to survive in a climate that contains many people who do not want them around.
“I always tell folks that DC was the perfect place to have World Pride,” Hutton said. ”We have so many different identity prides here in D.C., from Black Pride to Trans Pride to API Pride, Latinx Pride, Military Pride, Women’s Pride, Silver Pride, we have so many different groups of people that have their own pride celebration.”
