    NEW: Last week, oil literally rained down on a Black town in rural Louisiana where 60% of folks live in poverty. The company isn’t taking responsibility & the federal + state governments are saying residents have to clean it up themselves. capitalbnews.org/louisiana-oil-…

    When Chicago Police killed Ronnieman Johnson in 2014, separate footage was also released to “prove” that he had a gun. Later, two forensic video analysts reviewed the case and concluded that “errors” by the technician lab stretched the pixels, creating the shape of a gun.

    The most gut-wrenching part of the last 2 years is definitely the lost lives, but as a young person, it feels even more demoralizing because we have learned so few lessons. We coukd have restructured our entire world and our relationships with each other, and we didn’t do it.

    Very few people really understand what it means to “sweep” an encampment. For the state to throw away or trash every single one of your belonging and your shelter, and then offer you virtually zero assistance. Now it’s coupled with the threat of incarceration or citation.

    Michael Broadway, a Black man incarcerated at Stateville prison in Illinois, died last Wednesday, partly due to extreme heat. While incarcerated, he earned a degree from Northwestern. A reminder that the climate crisis is here. Even if you don’t feel it, the most vulnerable do.

    In what might be the first non-university encampment set up for Palestine, it looks like ~ a dozen people have been arrested roughly 5 hours after it was erected here in New Orleans.

    NEW: Last month a man in rural Alabama called me about a flooding crisis. He said it was manmade, the state was trying to flood a historically Black community out of town But it's deeper than that: How the push for electric cars is erasing a Black town

    "Black employees were subjected daily to such slurs as the N-word, Aunt Jemima, negra fea (ugly Black woman), cochina, (pig) and 'cucaracha, (cockroach)" “'They’d write stuff on the bathroom walls — ‘gorillas, go back to Africa.’" All this for $12/ hour

    On Tuesday, Jessie Hoffman, a 46 y/o Black man who was incarcerated since he was 18, was executed by the state of Louisiana using nitrogen gas. Louisiana became the second state, joining Alabama, to use the method. The gas, which deprives a person of oxygen, flowed for 19 minutes
