71 years ago white supremacists kidnapped, tortured, and murdered a 14-year-old Black child named Emmett Till. Some still haven't heard his story. But in the wake of Nolan Wells and Tamir Rice, a reminder that these atrocities continue—& we must not become numb to them. Here's to remembering Emmett.

Today Is the Anniversary of Emmett Till’s Murder—We Were Just There
71 years later, his accuser died free. The warrant for her arrest was never executed. This is not ancient history.

@prisonculture.bsky.social Do you have contacts in the Chicago suburbs who could help get more people to our village meetings? I plan to be there every two weeks. We need to find justice and peace for this incredible kind and tough local family. If not, please keep them in your prayers.

Statement on Supreme Court Transgender Ban in High School Sports 

Sports have always been a place where young people learn resilience and find community. No child should be told that who they are disqualifies them from that experience. Despite today’s Supreme Court ruling, Minnesota Aurora will continue to support transgender youth and the schools and coaches who want every kid to thrive. 
Every young person deserves a fair shot to play, belong, and grow through sports.

Slaughter belongs in the anti-canon, a decision so egregiously wrong it has zero precedential value and is self-discrediting. It is not a plausible reading of a constitutional ambiguity, it is constitutionalizing the structure of an autocracy.

While it's obvious the next Democratic president should pardon these individuals on day one, the judge who handed down the sentences should also be subjected to a federal investigation to determine if he abused his power and whether it warrants prosecution and potential imprisonment.

If the protests so far were actually effective the regime would have shut them down by now. The only ones they have really cared about so far are those at the ICE detention centers. Those are the only ones that impacted the agenda. The others are pacifiers from their point of view.
