NEVER FORGET what the NYPD did to Kalief Browder. A young innocent black man who sat on Rikers Island for 3 YEARS w/o trial for a backpack he DIDN’T steal. He committed suicide after spending two yrs in solitary confinement. 730 days alone. This was in 2015. Only 5 years ago!

a $1200 check and a media manufactured culture war to distract while feds hijack ppe, bleed states dry, and distribute your tax dollars to failing billionaire owned corps. your ability to spend is valued much more than your life and your outrage is worth more than you think.
