"Når hashtagget dør, er det endnu et led i Big Techs kamp for at styre det, vi ser
Fra #MeToo til #BlackLivesMatter har hashtags skabt politisk mobilisering og selvbestemmelse. Når techvirksomheder begrænser dem, mister vi endnu en mulighed for frit at vælge og engagere os i demokratiet"
Virkelig god pointe i indlæg af Nicolai la Cour. Jeg har inviteret ham og alle Informations læsere her til Mastodon. Jeg glæder mig til at ankommer 🙂

"Who should pay?"
CW: controversial.
Many men are poor. But women, as a group taken together, are poorer. And this is true in all countries in the world, not just those known for gendered oppression.
If you’re a man who’s interested in having more connection & understanding, I think it's important to consciously know this, “I am richer, in money terms, as a man, than most women are.”
(Refs at the end)
A thread 🧵
⬇️
In a similar way to how I must acknowledge, as a white person, that I’m richer than most Black and brown people are.
These dynamics help those who hold the most power to become richer, and they foster division among us.
In this thread, I’ll cover a bit of ground on the gender side of things...

The incident has prompted continued questions about #US #LawEnforcement #shootings of #Black people in their homes & generated a change in #Illinois #law requiring fuller transparency on the background of candidates for law enforcement jobs.
A jury of 10 women & 5 men, including 3 alternates, will hear testimony that’s predicted to end next week.

The questioning of prospective jurors Monday by Sangamon County State’s Attorney John Milhiser & defense atty Daniel Fultz focused on attitudes toward law enforcement….
Witnesses scheduled to testify for both the state & defense are reported to be experts in #police training, generally accepted police practices, use of force, body camera video, use of video in investigations & the review of incidents involving the use of force.

According to body-camera video that is certain to play a key role in the trial, Grayson & Massey joked about how the deputy backed away as she moved the pan before Massey said, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” Grayson later told sheriff’s investigators he thought Massey’s statement meant she intended to kill him, yelled at her to drop the pot & in the subsequent commotion, fired 3 shots, striking her just below the eye.

On July 6, 2024, Massey, a 36-year-old single mother of 2 teenagers who struggled with mental health issues, called emergency responders over a suspected prowler. When Grayson, who is white, & another deputy entered her Springfield home to report finding no one, Grayson noticed a pan of hot water on the stove & ordered it removed.

In a recently released video posted by award winning Black writer Alex O'Keefe he is seen being thrown off a train simply because an old karen said he "wasn't sitting right".
Even if he wasn't thrown off, the mere fact that at no point in American history can a Black man exist truly in peace, minding his own damned business without a karen finding a reason to use state violence against us.
📸 Alex O'Keefe
Outside of screenwriting for TV Alex O'Keefe has also been a speech writer for Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey.
By all accounts he was minding his own business and just trying to get where he was going. There's zero evidence of him committing any crime and the original call doesn't even claim any crime ffs!
The cops didn't even bother to question the Karen to get her side of the story.
