CW: Graphic descriptions of police lynching in Memphis, Tennessee.
Memphis pd body cam footage was released revealing the brutality of their extrajudicial murder of Tyre Nicholas, below are twitter link depicting the videos of the traumatic event for those who cannot watch the video itself but want to know what happened.

Protests already started in Memphis, DC and New York
We cannot let this event become just another victim of the state and fade into obscurity leaving only the family, friends, and their 4 year old son to carry the burden of the brutality of state violence.
So long as we continue to live in a society built on hierarchical domination then these extrajudicial murders will not stop and continue to get more frequent and more brutal as time goes on. 2022 Already was revealed a horrifying peak in record numbers of actually reported police brutality with evidence to show that those numbers will continue to rise

If you are a content creator:
If you host content on any kind of platform This is gonna be one of those things we have to commit our platforms too because of how much the police are trying to control the narrative and unrest. The Order of the day is going to be keep the status quo intact and get the public to move on as quickly as possible. We cannot contribute to that initiative
We have to start calling for, encouraging, and boosting signals for local protests

Remember not too share the video directly, certainly nothing that will auto play but we need to shift our content to focus on police brutality again, particularly Tyre Nicholas

Tyre Nicholas, another life cut way too short at the age of 29 at the hands of the state
He had just started a job at FedEx working alongside his stepfather, Rodney Wells.
"He was very, very beloved at my job. Everybody's calling me with blessings, prayers [and] showing sympathy for what happened," Rodney Wells said.
"He only worked at FedEx for maybe nine months, but you should see the out pour of love and support," RowVaughn Wells said.

The Wells' said that Nichols was passionate about skateboarding and photography, hobbies he engaged in during his downtime on weekends.

"Photography helps me look at the world in a more creative way," Nichols stated on his photography page. "It expresses me in ways I cannot write down for people."
"It's just so hard for me to even fathom all of this because it's not real to me right now. … I don't know anything right now," RowVaughn Wells said.

"All I know is my son Tyre is not here with me anymore," she added. "I know everybody says they have a good son or that everybody's son is good, but my son? He actually was a good boy," she said. Amid the investigation, RowVaughn Wells said she just wants people to remember her son as a "beautiful soul."
"We will get justice for Tyre, if that's the last breath I take," she said.

We must make sure, that they get that justice and dismantle this oppressive capitalist system

“CW: police murder . . . The following is a description of the #TyreNichols murder, I’m writing as I watch. It will be brutal and disturbing. This thread is for people who would like to know what’s happened but do not want to watch the video.”

Twitter
Hot take: you social critique online will not change anyone’s personal decisions, and does not move a social revolution forward. It must happen irl in our communities, starting with families and connected groups of people with shared goals for liberation.
sorry but mutual aid does not require "web3"
For broke folks and those doing meal distro (we're all also broke lol): McDonald's is offering 50 cent double cheeseburgers today and tomorrow, if you order through their app and pick up. We couldn't find a limit on orders, but there may be one. h/t (and go follow!) @CatalystForChange
