Melanie from Baltimore laying down the truth to Vice reporters during a livestream.

“If you’ve been hearing about the “riots” or the ‪#‎purge‬ or the “Warzone” in Baltimore today, this is important context. h/t Jon Berger Sergio España

“I want to make this as clear as possible:

Step 1: the police created a “credible threat” about some high school students gathering at Mondawmin to start trouble.“

Step 2: the police showed up in force and riot gear before the students got out of school at Mondawmin, which is a major public transit hub, and SHUT DOWN THE TRANSIT, guaranteeing the kids couldn’t leave.

Step 3: the police started macing people and brandishing tasers.

Step 4: the kids understandably responded to being stranded and maced by throwing rocks.

Step 5: the media starts reporting it as “a riot” and “violent protesters.”

This is 100% bought and paid for by the police department. This is absolutely vile.“

When nonviolence is preached as an attempt to evade the repercussions of political brutality, it betrays itself. When nonviolence begins halfway through the war with the aggressor calling time out, it exposes itself as a ruse. When nonviolence is preached by the representatives of the state, while the state doles out heaps of violence to its citizens, it reveals itself to be a con. And none of this can mean that rioting or violence is “correct” or “wise,” any more than a forest fire can be “correct” or “wise.” Wisdom isn’t the point tonight. Disrespect is. In this case, disrespect for the hollow law and failed order that so regularly disrespects the rioters themselves.

You told me you were the man this city needs. I think that was only half true. I think you’re also the man this city created. For better or worse.

A Marvel colorist reflects on the subtle racism of shifting skin tones.

Ron Wimberly is an incredible artist and this comic really spoke to me (no joke, I’m still crying as I write this). I’m leaving it as a link to the website it’s posted on because the website works to display the comic accurately both on a computer and on mobile, and the layout of this comic is a big part of it’s impact. You should read this.

i am so delighted by cats, i love that we have little bendy animals that climb all over everything and break shit and dart around our homes at top speed and we’re totally cool with it like “ah yes, there it goes again”
