remember sexual tension with someone you've hit it off with at a houseparty that has that elusive, sublime balance of good friends and friends of friends with good vibes

In response to widespread calls to defund police & invest in communities - borne of rampant police killings of Black and Indigenous people across Toronto and Canada -the city votes instead for on an increase in police funding for “reforms” already known to be ineffective. Shame.

How is this no longer getting national attention? Have we already gone numb? This was the scene outside City Hall in Richmond, Virginia last night. Police are still rioting across the country.

Demands: he Toronto Police Services (TPS) budget is over $1.1 billion dollars, which is more than public funding allotted to libraries, housing, shelters combined. We believe that Black communities, and all communities, deserve better. #BlackLivesMatter #DefundThePolice

Cops scattered everywhere with no idea what to do, as small groups smash storefronts and loot stores in wealthier parts of Atlanta. When a life is tossed away, nothing could be more reasonable than trashing the glittering utopias of a heartless world. #RayshardBrooks

From 1624 to 1845 (230 years) NYC had no police department. When the Irish famine happened in 1845 and Irish refugees arrived in the city, anti-immigration nativists used fear of Irish crime to stoke support for the formation of a department of 1,200 officers. It worked.

Something I've learned while in law school is about the social construction of crime. I work in a legal clinic on wage theft cases, where employers have "improperly paid" workers by not paying, paying below min wage, withholding overtime, paid sick time, etc. 1/

the protests aren’t losing steam. the media is encouraging a narrative that they’re losing steam so that we all think they’re losing steam.
