To be clear, I am not advocating for that. But it seems to be an element that is affecting people in ways differently than previous shootings. I also remember when the Lewiston ME rep walked that crime scene and changed his gun law views the next day.

Was just talking with a friend about this. It feels this death is different in some key ways and one is that the gruesomeness was seen. It doesn’t seem to matter that kids had that happen to them too, no one saw it. Much like Emmett Till’s body, it may have to happen more to be a tipping point. 😔

I hope this photo makes you pause today. I know I am. Consider what you think of people who might be considered “on the other side” from yourself. And let’s build start building bridges. (7/7)

This is why I post so much & am active in causes I believe in. Because the lives that have been cut short - on 9/11, by school shootings and gun violence, by political violence, by authoritarianism, by discrimination and hate - deserve to be honored by the actions of those of us still here. (6/7)

I hope - against all hope, it feels like - we can get back to a society that truly cares for each other in small, everyday ways in addition to big, societal ways. To provide resilience and healing to us all. (5/7)

Hearts have become hardened to the circumstances of others. I know I have felt this too. But I try to give grace to others, build bridges where I can and stand up for what is right, in the names of all those taken from us that day and since. (4/7)

That shield seems to be breaking down in ways I never would have imagined it could. No one walks in another’s shoes anymore. Discrimination is practiced outwardly & is applauded. Hypocrisy is rampant & coming from so many more directions. We saw this yesterday in reactions to 2 shootings. (3/7)

On September 12, we all pulled together, cared for each other, gave grace to each other. Petty differences were put aside for the greater good and in an acknowledgement that the fabric of a society is only as strong as the fibers that bind us. Our resilience became a shield for all. (2/7)

Got into some good trouble yesterday to mark 5 years since John Lewis’s death.
