I worked with people with mental illness and violent offenders as a therapist for years. I was trained in de-escalation and in the proper way to physically restrain clients who were endangering themselves or others. I carried no weapons. And I was just a fucking therapist.

Seattle lifted their curfew, cops haven’t tear gassed or shot at anyone, and protests are still completely peaceful at midnight. Wow it’s almost like if the police don’t attack, protests don’t magically turn into riots when the sun goes down

I think “a few bad apples” spoiled the bunch, because I don’t see how anyone could ever trust the police again. I know I can’t.

The tear gas wasn’t tear gas. The photo op wasn’t a photo op. The protests weren’t peaceful. The death toll is exaggerated. The virus isn’t that bad. The economy doesn’t need any more help.

All they have left is telling us not to believe what we’re seeing with our own eyes.

We love the @JeffBezos 2 Pizza Rule about team projects here at Deity. "If you can't feed your team with two large pizzas in a meeting, you're in trouble."

I'm building a new website tonight and I ordered myself 2 pizzas. That's how it works right?

sounds like a pretty good night to me

A cyclist who assaulted teenagers for posting George Floyd posters was identified because the time and location of the video of the event coincided with the time and location of his ride posted to the public Strava website automatically by his workout app.

I was arrested on June 2nd, 2020 with around 100 other protesters in Los Angeles. While I was ziptied and facing the wall, two male officers joked behind me about my gender presentation: "Do you think it's a female? Are you sure?"

This is awful, I’m so sorry. and thank you for speaking up.

Stop celebrating peaceful cops, that should be the norm. We don’t write articles every time a pilot lands a plane. That’s just the bare minimum to keep people alive.

There will be a wave of financial settlements that local governments will need to pay due to widespread police brutality & misconduct over the last few weeks.

Taxpayers should not be footing the bill. Responsibility needs to lie with those perpetrating these harms.

Are they sure they lost it? Maybe they wrote more payments to their finance system than got recorded.

Queer eye but it’s 5 black women who come in and tell police forces how to undo systemic racism in the justice system. Also they get paid double whatever the fab 5 gets paid. #BlackLivesMatter

It's a privilege to learn about
racism instead of experiencing
