    When I started writing about race in Maine in 2003, I got death threats. I never imagined a scene like this would ever happen in support of Black Lives. There is still a lot of work to do, but I want to acknowledge this moment.https://twitter.com/n_schroeder/status/1269038815190093824 …

    Everyone lays their bodies - and their heads - down onto Commercial Street, spanning half a dozen blocks of the busiest stretch. You’d think someone on the sidewalk or patio would shout something dumb, but it’s absolutely silent. Stunning scene. pic.twitter.com/LLYKeUpFJo

        I also just want to say something, I'm delighted to see a younger generation diving deep into anti racism work in Maine. Truthfully, as I get closer to the big 5.0, I'm doing a lot of shape shifting and leaning into this season of my life. I also know my limits.

        I started my public service/social justice life as an Anericorp Vista. First gig? Community Organizer. I'll be the first to tell you that now, I'm not an organizer. I tell personal stories that make it easier for people to understand racism. I write observations on race.

        My goal was always to be a writer/storyteller in the tradition if Studs Terkel. Didn't quite hit the mark. Oh well.

        The fellow on the radio was screaming about bodies hitting the floor. Can someone tell him that it has come to pass.

        Often, animals will become despondent prior to death. They just check out, stare into space with empty eyes, a void even.

        Whatever these people don't understand, they insult. Like animals, which are creatures of instinct, they use whatever they know to destroy themselves. How horrible it will be for them! They have followed the path of Cain. #twicedead
