Gotta copy and include this screencap from the Onion (well done, buddy!). Also, fuck JK Rowling. Fuck transphobes. Fuck the NYT. Fuck your “both sides” fallacies.
In the words of , “eat my whole ass.”

So fucking stoked on the artist we have on board for the cover/layout for the new album. Yes this is vague but I can’t help but be excited to work with them.

“Angel factory” made me laugh so loudly that my wife, who was upstairs in her office, came to check on me.

If you don’t love Lizzo at least a little bit then I assume something is wrong with your heart. I want to be friends with her just so I can hear that delightful laugh regularly.

This murder singlehandedly dismantles so many narratives that have been tried in one fell swoop
"Just comply" he complied
"Better police training" it's a special unit, special training
"Disarm police" they used their hands
"Bodycams will solve it" not working

All of the cops who murdered Tyre Nichols have been released on bail. None of the NY politicians against bail reform have decried their release. That’s because the attacks on bail reform have nothing to do with public safety. Bail punishes poverty. It doesn’t make us safer.

One of the facts seared into my head is that when Derek Chauvin was convicted for murdering George Floyd, he was only the 7th cop to be convicted of murder since 2005, out of the 15,000 police killings in those 16 years.

Don’t talk to cops.
Don’t trust cops.
Don’t believe cops protect us.
They are the armed enforcers of laws written by the elite to benefit the elite at the cost of the safety & well-being of the marginalized masses.

there is literally nothing left to write about police abuse and violence. Abolish the police.

The cops being Black doesn’t show it isn’t about race. What it shows is how deeply entrenched and systemic the issue really is. #JusticeForTyre

Diversifying the police force doesn’t end racism because racism is inherent to the organization of the institution & its daily operation. Racism is what policing is

If your city has some "special" police unit organized like a paramilitary death squad from a US-supported 1980s right-wing dictatorship, you can safely assume it is regularly behaving like a paramilitary death squad.

“How can it be racist if the police are Black?”

I don't understand how you can, almost 11 years after Trayvon Martin, still be the sort of person calling for more police-reform efforts like body-cameras. These guys did this to Tyre Nichols with all the cameras rolling.

If they say “get on the ground”’and you get on the ground, say “I’m on the ground” and you STILL get tased and pepper sprayed.
What else are you supposed to do but run?
So much for that whole “if he only he had complied” narrative.

Tyre Nichols should be alive. Charges alone aren’t justice. Change is.
At least 1,176 people were killed by law enforcement last year - a record. Billions in trainings, body cams, and reforms haven’t stopped it. In fact, it’s gotten worse. We must grow out of this cycle together

if someone is beating you with a stick and you say “stop please” and people are like “please articulate the details exactly how you want society to function without that guy beating you with a stick” you are under no obligation to answer.

In 2021 #UnitedShades did an extended show on policing. In the wake of the Memphis police’s killing of Tyre Nichols, I struggle w/ what I can say differently than what I’ve said before at the far too many times like this. I feel the same way I felt then. It’s on .

An unaccountable institution that murders people should be disbanded. This should not be controversial. If instead you give that institution more money, resources and status, as we have seen, it will murder more people.

I watched a some of the #TyreNichols videos. What jumps out is the cops never come off as experts or highly trained in their jobs. They yell over each other like a bunch of bullies who are collectively losing their shit. A cop actually says, “I’m gonna baton the fuck out of you!”

Tyre Nichols should be alive. Yes, the police officers who brutally murdered him must be held accountable. But even their conviction on the strongest possible charges cannot bring Tyre back. We must do everything in our power to end police violence against people of color.

Emmett Till’s mother demanded he had an open casket at his wake just to make sure America learned from the horrors of white supremacy. America didn’t learn anything, except that it could continue to get away with the horrors of white supremacy. #TyreNichols
