It really hurts to think about how Selena/Julia left Monse (because she was black) and didn’t look back, but cared enough about her white kids to hire a babysitter to watch out for them when she was literally in the next room.

CHLOE X HALLE The Making of ‘Do It’

Turn that up

Some of yall are just absolute dolts. Like..she’s not encouraging ppl to loot or w/e. She’s just explaining why.

40 million people unemployed and we get a measly 1k while corporations are getting like billions. You remember that trillion dollars they just injected into the stock market that disappeared in a flash? Why couldn’t that have been used to properly shelter houseless people? Why couldn’t that be used to feed people? Why is there still NO RENT FREEZE?

People would be restless in quarantine regardless but we have to worry about all this added shit as well - while we are still being murdered by the police at the same rate as if we were not in quarantine. How are we protesting so many police murders when most people are stuck at home? What’s the maffs on that?

So of course people are taking to the streets to demand justice for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and Tony McDade and the countless others murdered by the police. But its only natural that in a police state everything is affected by the police. As areas get gentrified, there is an increase in policing to either imprison or murder the people who are being displaced. Food Not Bombs is arrested for feeding houseless people in miami. Speaking of, where exactly are houseless people supposed to go during curfew when police violence is unmitigated? Everything links back to the police in a police state. This is why we say Abolish The Pigs

As for looting. stop pearl clutching over replaceable, insured things. Lives cannot be replaced nor brought back. If you care more about stores than lives fuck you.

So when Target refused to let the people of Minneapolis buy supplies to neutralize pepper spray, Target was no longer a part of the community. So Minneapoians looted it and burned it. They don’t need a mega corporation in their community if it doesn’t do the will of the community. And what did they do with that loot? They dispersed it to people who needed it. Food for those who needs it, water for the protestors, first aid to those injured.

And she’s 100% that the banks own small businesses. Which is different than banks owning houses or whatever bullshit yall are saying.This idealization of small businesses as pillars of the community is bad. Remember the LA Riots? small business owner killed a 15 year old Latasha Harlins? Small businesses are a part of gentrification. Protestors are stopping the looting and vanadlism of businesses that are good for their communities. You have got to trust that the protestors know their communities better than you do.

Unfortunately Bri’s school did not renew her contract bc of this video. Bc it is a charter school she can’t go to the union for help.

Please consider dontating to her venmo is: BrigetteBrantley-1 or her GoFundMe linked here.

Support this teacher, and if her termination has you feeling heated, start working on getting your state to enact legislation to mandate charter schools are a part of local school districts, for oversight and for teacher hiring. Maryland is the only state in all 50 that mandates charter schools be a part of and hire district-employed teachers, so we get to have Union protection at our schools. Get that for your teachers in your state!!!
