Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

Thank you. I feel like I’m losing my mind with some of the takes on this footage that he released to his own Twitter account. Hearing someone say it’s leaked bodycam footage when there are other videos showing him with phone in hand and then walking away.

in the 60s, the klan killed white civil rights workers alongside their black comrades. when you join the struggle you lose your status in the system you’re fighting.

in the streets, on a riot line, at a demo, wherever. we’re all the same to them. they’re blue & you’re the enemy. i’m not too proud to admit that i didn’t really understand that until the first time a cop hit me, a little blonde white woman. i watched a lot of other white women learn that in 2020.

there is still a lot of power & privilege in being white, being a citizen, knowing you have the resources to get bailed out or hire a lawyer, knowing you won’t get deported… use it wisely. but don’t think it will stop a baton or a bullet. please don’t think it will save your life.

As a kid ST:TNG was perfect, Quantum Leap - knowing Sam never returns home, and China Beach with McMurphy remembering the solider’s name.
