Empezó hace unos minutos y yo voy en camino.
Empieza el hilo. "Follow me!", como dicen los guías turísticos ☂️.

2. He llegado a la zona de la marcha....pero ahora dónde dejo yo la @CitiBikeNYC 🤔 Todo el mundo ha tenido la misma idea y están todos los puestos completos. Image
3. ¡Eureka! Esta chica va a pillar una de las bicis y me deja el hueco.
Al final (con tanto dar vueltas buscando parking) he tardado y pagado el doble que si hubiese ido en metro. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Por cierto, me pasado por la marcha y está a mil. Voy para allá y os cuento. Image

Say every one of their names—Then #SayTheirNames again.

It matters.

Beloved children, spouses, mothers, fathers, friends, co-workers, neighbors.

Denial of racism IS racism
Silence IS compliance

Getting a late start on the Garcetti press conference but here we go.
Words are being said: "Our conscience demands that we translate our pain into passionate calls for justice. That we speak the truth & act to end the racism that took the life of #GeorgeFloyd #BreonaTaylor #AhmaudArbery & too many others. Not just in past history books, bt today."
Not gonna lie, he looks like he took a hard pass on being consumed by rage. "But the rage must not consume us; it must not be turned back on us. It is only with peace that progress can follow." Image

As polite sympathy turns to cynical outrage + Nixon-esque insults, and anxious protest is dismissed as mindless anarchy, we cannot let our eyes be turned away from the dead, murdered bodies that brought us here. Again. #GeorgeFloyd #AuhmadArbery #BreonaTaylor. 1/4
Rage, hopelessness and a ragged, unrelieved pain on display in Minneapolis has fearsome echoes in Louisville, Brunswick and a hundred American cities. Their deaths are symptomatic of a broken system that promises justice but fails to deliver. 2/4
Those entrusted with the gravest authority must be held to the highest standard of accountability.
Law enforcement, district attorneys, mayors, attorneys general, judges, legislators and governors must be held responsible - and their actions will be on the ballot in November. 3/4
