    I believe in abolition. I also believe in accountability. I think we can use abolition to have conversations about accountability and practice something different than what we have inherited. thank you

    Please read.

    Sandra Bland should still be alive. We desperately need more critical thinking about the role of police and the narratives they feed us. If her video helps someone get there, all the better. I’m too furious to add anything else constructive at the moment.

    I remember being at a park with my girlfriend when I was 18 years old. Some homophobic person came up to us and started yelling hateful slurs.
