Privilege Says:
“It’s horrible #GeorgeFloyd was murdered, but destroying property has to stop.”
Anti-Racism Says:
“It’s horrible that property is being destroyed, but the murder of Black men has to stop.”
A worthwhile reflection.

We recommend that any Minnesotan who has attended a protest, vigil, or community clean-up get tested for #COVID19. If you start to feel sick, get tested right away. If you do not feel sick, get tested as soon as you can, but no later than 5-7 days after the event. (1/2)

Physician/healthcare friends. Have you heard that health care workers are planning to kneel for 10 minutes on Friday June 5, 2020 10am PST/ 12 noon CST/ 1pm EST
Are any of your hospitals/institutions organizing anything?

An incredible scene here at the makeshift memorial where #GeorgeFloyd died. Somebody brought a piano and one after another people played. Brought us all together in song.

Hydroxychloroquine does not prevent COVID19 infection. The best info to date. Thanks to @boulware_dr and his team for this. @umnmedschool @UMNclinaffairs @UMNews nytimes.com/2020/06/03/healt…

On June 1, Iyanna Dior, a black transgender woman, was attacked in the Twin Cities. Black trans women are attacked far too often across Minnesota. It is an epidemic and it must be stopped. No one should have to live in fear of violence because of who they are.

For leaders enforcing a curfew, what plans are in place to protect ppl experiencing homelessness (yet another crisis disproportionately facing Black Americans)?
Genuinely wondering. Feel free to share what you see here.
Without a plan, the homeless will be subject to violence.

I know a lot of folks are wishing everyone would get on to positive things and stop perseverating on racism and the recent killings of unarmed black people.
Trust me—we’ve been wishing that for centuries now. Please allow yourselves to be uncomfortable and disrupted, too.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “professionalism” is a tool of the white cisheteropatriarchy – at Minneapolis, MN

Now is the time for every ally to have those uncomfortable conversations about racism with family, friends, and neighbors. Call it out in every instance—even when it’s difficult.

The centering of white emotions and reactions to the uprisings neccessary to challenge (and often the only sustained coordinated public challenge to) police violence, is incredibly hurtful to those of us whose hearts have BEEN on the floor, whose eyes have BEEN burning from tears
