"Assimilationists want nothing less than to construct the homosexual as normal - white, monogamous, wealthy, 2.5 children, SUVs with a white picket fence. This construction, of course, reproduces the stability of heterosexuality, whiteness, patriarchy, the gender binary, and capitalism itself. "

Three years ago tonight, George Floyd, a 46 y/o father of 5, was ruthlessly murdered in front of community members in South Minneapolis by 4 former Minneapolis Police officers.

After a mass uprising, all officers were charged & have since been convicted: https://unicornriot.ninja/georgefloyd/

The conviction of the officers who murdered George Floyd was an exceptional case aimed chiefly at pacifying us. Over the past three years, police have continued to murder Black and Brown people at the same pace.

What will it take to stop the police from killing?

Three years ago, in the midst of a deadly pandemic, economic crisis, nationwide police repression, and the National Guard on the streets - the George Floyd uprising showed that millions of people were ready to move from protest to resistance - don't let them bury that memory.
