    The ethics of documentary work are sometimes difficult to navigate, but The Commons is an excellent example of how not to do it. Documentarians need to allow themselves to be held accountable by the communities they document, particularly if those communities are not their own...

    “Both sides” is a type of bias. “Balance” is a type of bias. “Neutrality” is a type of bias. “Neutrality” in the face of bigotry and misinformation isn’t good journalism. It’s complicity.

    A Durham resident was shot by a DPD officer this morning, and we’ve just received word that the resident has died at the hospital. No officers or other residents were injured. I will release additional information as soon as I am able. Please keep all involved in your thoughts.

    Thread. Would just like to point out that "Tyrone" did his banner drop in Graham, NC during a "Confederate Memorial Day" hosted by ACTBAC -- same folks who love to stomp around UNC Chapel Hill and advocate for Confederate symbols in Orange County schools.

    The New Zealand killer is connected to Generation Identity in Austria. Generation Identity was connected to Charlottesville organizers. Generation Identity is the prototype for Identity Evropa, now American Identity Movement or whatever. This is all connected.

    Alamance County puts the AC in ACAB.

    Alamance County Sheriff Department claims no extra expenses used to patrol confederate monument in Graham 24/7 for several months. Graham police claim no expenses since it's county property, but they keep an eye on it.

    Capitalism began in England around the 16th century. They immediately went on to colonize half the planet in search of new markets, committed multiple genocides, traded slaves, and engaged in constant war. In school we learn about how communism is evil because of a famine.

    Our thoughts are with the / demonstrators in France today, where the military has been given a green light to shoot if that's what it takes to crush protests against capitalism. The state will take every freedom we don't defend.

    "When anti-racists speak truth to power, when their chants echo across McCorkle place with a volume that shakes up the status quo...they are met with violent force...We all know that if these armed men [neoconfeds] were Black, it would have ended very differently." -

    "Policing in the South started as a way to patrol slaves...My experience with police on campus was terrifying but it's not unique...We need to stand up to police violence all the time. We need to believe people when they say that police lie. Police on campus do not keep us safe."
