White Riots VS Black Protests • BRAVE NEW FILMS

Ever notice how the mainstream media treats [Black] protesters & white rioters differently?

...Using the term "thug" to describe Black People, but "students" or "drunk people" when describing whites, shows that "thug" is the new, coded way of saying the n-word. STOP SAYING IT!

A Black Person is murdered once every 11 hours in the US; once every four hours in Brazil. This is a global phenomenon.

Five years after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a cracker murderpig named Derek Chauvin, it's easy to look at police murder and use of force statistics, as well as a white nationalist Trump regime, and conclude the 2020 uprising failed; which is precisely what a pro-cop liberal "reformist" chatterati is doing. The reality is however that "a system cannot fail those it was never designed to protect" and the lack of legislative progress to protect our civil rights from police abuses falls on the elected reformers not advocates and abolitionists in the streets. The 2020 Uprising taught us to band together because we are all targets in for the carceral state in the right circumstances; and just in time too, because Donald Trump is dead serious about transforming law enforcement into his own fascist army.

The Widening Maw of Racialized Police Violence

"The reality is that Downmarket Mussolini has only been back in the White House for four and a half months, and these police killing statistics go back years into a Biden administration that was elected in part, to specifically stop racialized police violence in response to the protests; the city where George Floyd was slowly murdered on camera by a sociopathic cop is in a Democratic-controlled State, run by one of the most progressive Governors in America. For a larger liberal establishment in the United States that had no answer for Trump at the ballot box to point at the Kelpto Kaiser’s racist authoritarian regime and declare the movement against police violence and white supremacist policing has failed, is one part deflection, and one part scapegoating. It is ultimately reductive to argue that the 2020 George Floyd protests were by themselves responsible for the broader fascist “white-lash” driving Trump’s second rise to power in an already white supremacist America, and disempowering to believe organized resistance against that white supremacy accomplished nothing merely because a state that was never designed to protect racialized people, or the labor class in general, refused to take meaningful action against police violence. Those hard-fought hours in the streets opened a broad swathe of society’s eyes to the racist and violent nature of American policing, taught communities across the globe how to organize in the face of state-sanctioned repression, and helped make so many young people “woke” that the fascist Trump regime is trying to make “wokeness” illegal. We cannot un-see what we have observed, or unknow what we learned during the uprising, and the affliction of knowing cannot be cured with rubber bullets and tear gas."

DoJ moves to cancel police reform settlements with Minneapolis and Louisville https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/21/justice-department-settlement-minneapolis-louisville #Trumpadministration #BreonnaTaylor #Minneapolis #GeorgeFloyd #DonaldTrump #Louisville #USpolicing #USpolitics #Minnesota #Kentucky #USnews #Race

The Trump administration is dismissing investigations into US police departments and ending consent decrees with police in Louisville and Minneapolis reached following the murders of #BreonnaTaylor and #GeorgeFloyd - It’s open season on Black people again. @keithboykin.bsky.social‬

The move comes 4 days before the May 25 5yr anniversary of the death of #GeorgeFloyd, a #Black man who was murdered by Derek Chauvin, a #white #police officer who knelt on his neck as Floyd repeatedly pleaded that he couldn't breathe.
Floyd's killing, & the killing of #BreonnaTaylor who was shot to death by #Louisville Police executing a no-knock warrant, sparked worldwide protests about racially-motivated policing practices during the final year of #Trump's 1st term.

I often think about Trayvon Martin, how that kid oughta still be with us 💯

Somehow I came upon this cool bandana earlier in the week. Check it out pup parents and dog dads!

If you can order from the seller directly, that would be ideal so they aren't stuck giving like 1/3 to Etsy, but of course you could order there. Lots of great retro prints, many double sided like this. Hope you enjoy! 🐕

Reading about the incident a couple of days after the anniversary of #BreonnaTaylor 's lynching by Louisville police, and shocked at how its been memory holed that her death was linked to a "redevelopment" gentrification project in West #Louisville, a project linked to the mayor's office. Her house was purchased for $1 by the city and a land bank after her death #blm #acab

Remember and honor the legacy of our lost ones. We will continue to agitiate until freedom comes. #BreonnaTaylor #UnitlFreedom #SayHerName

#OnThisDay in 2020, #BreonnaTaylor, African American medical technician, #shot and killed by police officers in her home at 26.

Five years ago today, police burst into Breonna Taylor's home and shot her dead. @19thnews spoke to her mother, Tamika Palmer, about her ongoing quest for truth and justice, and how she is spending today. “I just want to honor her myself,” Palmer said. “I don’t want to argue with the world, I don’t want to share her with the world, I don’t want to have to prove that she deserves justice.”
