Police shootings rose by almost 25% in Canada in 2022. *This* rise in violence is not being treated with the same urgency by political leaders, and is not considered an emergency requiring immediate action from all levels of govt #SupportsNotPolice

It marks a nearly 25 per cent increase from 2021, when officers fired on 70 people and 37 were killed. Sixty people were shot at in 2020 and 36 of those were killed.

.@democracynow stop only interviewing civil rights attys who have no actual connection/commitment to social justice mvmts; no systemic analysis; scant care for the spirit, heart, mind, health of Black folk. They've been wreaking havoc on mvmts+our ppl & yall keep platforming 'em
& media outlets claiming to be progressive should stop giving these attorneys unchallenged pulpits. Wanna keep interviewing token Black hashtag chasers, cool (not really!), but bring on abolitionists with these attys to help ppl understand there’s SO much more than they “offer”

He struggles to receive help because he doesn’t know to how text, pick up calls, or listen to a voicemail when he misses a call. When I try to teach him how to use his phone it is extremely overwhelming for him. Keep in mind, he was incarcerated in 1995!!!

My roommate was recently released after serving 27 years in prison for petty theft. He never broke the rules while inside, so that means he has never used a cellphone. He came home to find out our entire lives exist on this device. 📲🧵

#Bodycameras are not for transparency they are another mechanism that reinforces the power of the #police when there is inevitably little or zero accountability for their crimes.This makes #PoliceBrutality all the more violent. Rest in power #TyreNichols:(

Recording their encounters with the public was supposed to keep police in line. Why hasn’t it?

"...the resistance of the oppressed does not subscribe to the usual calculation of risks & benefits that characterise business or economic logic... The journey of resistance is dignifying in itself, even in the absence of the achievement of desired goals." https://t.co/LgsK769y8Z

Y'ALL. We are floored. We received word this week that an anonymous donor sent us a check for ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. This comes right as we had our most recent application review meeting, where we have redistributed almost $30,000 already to autistic people of color.

Thank you for all of your kind words💜. My husband made it home. That man yesterday did not. So many of us do not. It’s exhausting, ya know? It can always be you & your loved ones & there is nothing you can do about it. That’s the truly frightening part.
