Hey, #activist types, now that #ACLU has decommissioned their Mobile Justice app, what is Plan B? The basic idea of recording law enforcement activity to document abuse is an important one. What’s the next best option?

#activism #blacklivesmatter #blm #icewatch

That being said @kshernandez is ALSO in danger of losing housing so if you believe in #BLM FUCKING SHOW IT WITH YOUR WALLETS

KS is a #Disabled survivor of many traumatic things include #trafficking they have stress ENOUGH just from living, please don't let them continue to have harm and neglect

Today in Labor History July 17, 1944: Two ammunition ships exploded at Port Chicago, CA (now known as the Concord Naval Weapons Center). The explosion killed 322 sailors, including 202 African-Americans assigned by the Navy to handle explosives. The explosion could be seen 35 miles away in San Francisco, across the Bay. In response, 258 African-Americans refused to return to the dangerous work, initiating what would be known as the Port Chicago Mutiny. 50 of the men were convicted and sentenced to hard labor. 47 were released in 1946. During their court proceedings, Thurgood Marshall, working then for the NAACP, prepared an appeal campaign, noting that only black men had been assigned to the dangerous munitions loading job. At the time, navy had over 100,000 black sailors, but no black officers. Beginning in 1990, a group of 25 Congressional leaders began a campaign to exonerate the mutineers. However, Congress did not exonerate the men until 2019.

In the 1980s, activists regularly protested at the Concord Naval Weapons Center against U.S. arms shipments to the Contras in Nicaragua. These shipments were supposedly secret, and illegal under the Congressional Boland Amendment. The base shipped 60,000 to 120,000 tons of munitions each year to U.S. forces and allies, including the Contras. On September 1, 1987, a weapons train deliberately ran over veterans who were blockading the tracks, including Brian Willson, who lost both of his legs, and a portion of his frontal lobe, in the collision. Days later, activists dismantled the train tracks. And for years after, activists maintained a 24-hour vigil at the site. The FBI had been surveilling Willson for more than a year as a “domestic terrorist,” even though all of his activism and protests had been entirely nonviolent. The train crew had been told to not stop the train, even if protesters were on the tracks.

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]

#law#BlackLivesMatter#BLM#WhiteSupremacy #racism

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.

#law#BlackLivesMatter#BLM#WhiteSupremacy #racism

Breaking with standard protocol, the memo was not signed by any career prosecutors but by Robert J. Keenan, a senior counsel to the #CivilRights division who was not part of the original prosecution team, & Harmeet Dhillon, the head of the division who was appointed under the #Trump admin.

#BreonnaTaylor #law#BlackLivesMatter#BLM#WhiteSupremacy #racism

The #Trump#DOJ requested that a #Louisville police officer #convicted in connection with a raid that resulted in #BreonnaTaylor’s death serve just one day in prison. In an unusual sentencing memo, the #FederalGovernment suggested to a #judge that the #Biden admin should not have prosecuted the officer on #CivilRights charges.

WTAF?!?

#Trump#DOJ seeks ONE-DAY sentence for officer in raid that killed #BreonnaTaylor

Went to check out the venue for my next gallery show and was so pleased to see the building adorned with a #BLM banner and another one for the Embracing Our Differences annual event we have here in town.

This has been my consistent experience living in what looks from the outside to be a very backwards part of the country. Just a reminder that what you see in the news is never the whole story. #Florida
