The system wasn’t designed with Black people in mind. Elvenia Gray-Sandiford has a plan to change that. A Tyee Q&A.
Eric Darnley SmallA Minneapolis police shooting reignites a painful pattern: authorities swiftly disparage victims like Alex Pretti and Renee Good, only for evidence to contradict those claims. Black families already familiar with such narratives see echoes of their own fights for justice, noting law enforcement often fails to correct falsehoods that hinder fair proceedings. Experts highlight how cases like Floyd and Castile highlight ongoing systemic issues. Timothy Welbeck calls it “painfully ironic” that Pretti and Good died where others faced police brutality, underscoring a long history of racial injustice in America’s law enforcement.

Black Americans recognize familiar playbook in shooting deaths of white protesters
The shooting deaths of white protesters Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal officers in Minneapolis have followed a playbook that is painfully familiar to Black Americans. Authorities quickly moved to disparage the victims, only to be contradicted as more evidence emerged. Black families who have lost loved ones to police violence say the killings in Minnesota have brought back painful memories of their own fights for justice as law enforcement agencies spun up narratives to suggest officers had no other choice but to kill their relatives. Some advocates say the Minneapolis shootings should be a reminder to all Americans that injustice disproportionately impacting Black people can impact them, too.

The USA PotatoBlack History Has the Power to Ignite Movements. That’s Why the Right Fears It.
The administration's preemptive assault on history is a desperate attempt to stop new social movements from starting.
OUR COMMON GROUNDCharles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times for leading the defense of a position. The original Google page has been deleted, and the URL changed to include "DEI medal." This is not a singular example. It's the US military archives being changed. I guess Shirley's MIT degree, granted prior to any AA or DEI will also be edited.
The depth of American anti-Blackness is stunning and is not one-sided politically.
