So....democratic self-governance was already in practice by hundreds of Indigenous Nations before the US was created. With, arguably, more equality & freedom for more people.
The founding fathers didn’t create democracy. They just watered it down.

Like I said before, the greatest violators of the written law right now are lawmakers & law enforcers. The law & the legal system here have no legitimacy in the eyes of any objective, thinking person. That’s why they can only hold things together w/ brute police & military force.

Brett Hankison is indicted for shooting into the apartment NEXT to Breonna Taylor & not for KILLING HER.
He's fired for shooting into BREONNA TAYLOR'S apartment & not for KILLING HER.
This is systemic racism.
Property is worth more than a Black woman. amp.courier-journal.com/amp/…

Confirmed: Jacob Blake’s 3 SONS were IN THE CAR he was getting into when @KenoshaPolice shot him tonight. They saw a cop shoot their father. They will be traumatized forever. We cannot let officers violate their duty to PROTECT us. Our kids deserve better!! #JusticeForJacobBlake

"Who's escalating this? It's not us." @MacSmiff details how protesters have adjusted based on federal agents' dispersal tactics - noting their presence distracts from BLM supporters message: the need to shift funding from the police to community-based services. @MSNBC

Elijah McClain’s death at the hands of Aurora, Colorado police last August is among the most horrific cases I’ve ever seen described. He was 23, introverted, and doing absolutely nothing wrong. They killed him, and the prosecutor let them get away with it. thecut.io/2NwkjUN

Juneteenth should be a national day of reflection that invites us all to confront the unfulfilled promises and justice denied to Black people in this nation. This reflection can better prepare us to deal with the legacies of racial injustice that we live with today.
It's time to end the silence about our history of racial injustice in America. #Juneteenth calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…

Juneteenth is the closest thing there is to an honest Independence Day. Yet even today, in the midst of this global revolt against systemic racism and the violence that stems from it, I view this holiday somewhat mournfully. I wrote about why in my latest. rol.st/2UZvoSF

Four months before he was killed by Atlanta police, Rayshard Brooks was interviewed about his experience on probation.
Please listen to him.
#JusticeForRayshardBrooks
This is #RayshardBrooks, in his own words.
In this heartbreaking interview filmed just four months ago, Brooks speaks about the agony of being trapped in a prison reentry and probation system that won’t let him get back on his feet.

I know you’re all tryna go back to your daily lives but I need you to see this and I need you to understand this shit is not over. Rayshard Brooks was shot in the back for sleeping in a Wendy’s parking lot in his own fucking car.
Oh my God protesters in Atlanta have COMPLETELY shut down I-75 right now in response to the murder of #RayshardBrooks
