Today I learned through this de-bunking article series by Radley Balko (one of the few libertarians who doesn’t expect the police to protect them from their slaves) that there’s a typically dishonest effort in the right-wing media sphere to exonerate convicted killer cop Derek Chauvin.

:weary: I’m so tired of seeing the right-wing conspiracy videos swaying public opinion. It makes me wish deprogramming folks was as simple as this ST:TNG scene.

I can’t overstate the risk this decision represents to diversity contracting programs at every level of government. And particularly the perhaps most important one at the Federal DOT.

Vinicius Jr. thinks about leaving football and cries when he remembers the fight against racism on the field.

“It’s increasingly sad. I have less and less desire to play. I believe everything I’ve been going through with each game, each day, with each complaint is very sad. It’s very sad, not just me, but all black people who suffer on a daily basis. Verbal racist abuse is the least compared to everything that black people go through in the world. I have struggling a lot against everything that has happened to me. It’s exhausting to be alone. I’ve made so many complaints and no one is punished, no club is punished. Every day, I fight for everyone who goes through this. If it were just for me and my family, I don’t know if I would continue. But I was chosen to defend a very important cause and one that I study every day so that in the future my five-year-old brother doesn’t go through what I’m going through.”
