A young woman was found dismembered in Brooklyn. Truly awful case of what appears to be long running domestic abuse. NYPD previously responded at least 6 different times. Police don’t prevent or deter violence. They just don’t.

Have covered hundreds of protests and there are only two march traits that get cops to ride their bikes & cars up your ass. Be neo-Nazis? Nope. Have a riot inside the Capitol? Nope.
1) Wear black
2) Be Black

When the folks in your life make jokes about "when do we riot," treat this as them asking you to show them how to protest.
It is a skill set that needs to be taught. The liberals in your life are upset and they want to do something. Give them some guidance.

when i came out as trans in senior year of HS, I sent an email to all my former & current teachers as well as the administrators to let them know of my name change & pronouns. (this was over 10 years ago). The vice principal emailed me, asking me to visit his office. (1/?)
