This is good.

I will say that in my experience, many will question if the authority figure is Black, especially a Black woman.
not teaching people to question authority at a young age makes it all the harder to realize the myriad ways in which you are your own authority and need to question yourself. america—esp white middle/upper class—is simultaneously riddled with anxiety, inferiority, naiveté, and ego.

I’ve admitted publicly that once upon a time I was a knuckle dragger. I was a nightshift patrol cop in some of the worst neighborhoods.

This shit?

Completely over the line. This subject is in handcuffs prone on the ground and closed fist strikes to the face are clearly excessive force.
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Charlie, you are the reason I fight so hard and out of my comfort zone. No human, let alone a CHILD, should feel like they're being cast aside.

For all the children in this situation, I will not stop fighting, I will not give up. This regime will not win.

As Trump plans mass deployments of ICE in Chicago, a car just sped through a group of protesters.

I was at the Federal Plaza protest. It was PEACEFUL. This violence and chaos are what Trump, his masked thugs, and the people who support mass deportations stand for.

Reporting is that ICE Special Reaction teams will be sent to:

Seattle
Chicago
Philadelphia
Norther Virginia
New York

I assume each will be protected by the guard - his EO says they can be activated in anticipation of protests.

Prepare for what you will do when they come to your town.
