A reminder on Law Enforcement Appreciation Day:
It's not just "a few bad apples." Police violence is a systemic problem in the U.S., and it happens on a scale far greater than other wealthy nations.
Who, exactly, does this system protect & serve?

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Please keep boosting this post! The family is less than $1K shy of their $7K goal to bury their beloved son/brother/cousin.
The funeral is two days away. Can we help them reach their goal in time?
Shacoby Kenny should still be alive. If he'd had $2500 to pay in bail he would be. #bospoli
