I just don't think I will ever be over what happened to Trayvon. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was crying for weeks when the court let Zimmerman off, citing "Stand Your Ground." Like...I'm thinking about it now, and I'm still incredulous. He was just 17. He wasn't doing anything. He had Skittles and iced tea. He was walking home. And a monster stalked him and killed him. Trayvon should be turning 31 today. (Read More…)

#TrayvonMartin's story broke my heart and my spirit, and finally broke my already-thin line of trust in our legal system. And it opened my eyes to the shocking number of racists in my life. His murder changed me and, honestly, I've never recovered from it.

CW: USPol: Pam Bondi insight
Bit of insight into #USPol from someone who lived in #Florida while #PamBondi was #AttorneyGeneral here...
This whole thing she does, where she becomes so focused on the media circus and theatrics that she forgets about practicing good #law or even trying to properly convict, has always been her style. She did it with the #TrayvonMartin / #GeorgeZimmerman and #CaseyAnthony cases, pushing bombastic murder charges when the evidence pointed to manslaughter.
...and I think that's what gets her in these higher positions. The #MainstreamMedia and #authoritarian movement don't care so much that she's not good at prosecuting, they care that she's building these wild stories for TV, creating sensational headlines and interviews. And when she fails to get a conviction? That's also good, because now they can spin the narrative that the #court and #jury system is somehow corrupt, because it fails to convict murderers.
...and that's likely why #Bondi is in the #Trump administration.

I haven't forgotten how yall mfs argued that an unarmed #TrayvonMartin used the concrete sιdewalk as a weapon agaιnst george zimmerman as he was fιghtιng for hιs lιfe after beιng stalked by a ʍur⫐erous ray sιst.😑 Total pieces of shιτ. #crime #law #politics #blm

New Report Finds “Stand-Your-Ground” Laws Are Linked to Higher Homicide Rates
In effect in over half of US states, the laws are also associated with increased racial disparities in legal outcomes.

I often think about Trayvon Martin, how that kid oughta still be with us 💯
Somehow I came upon this cool bandana earlier in the week. Check it out pup parents and dog dads!
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1368304548/trayvon
If you can order from the seller directly, that would be ideal so they aren't stuck giving like 1/3 to Etsy, but of course you could order there. Lots of great retro prints, many double sided like this. Hope you enjoy! 🐕

There's some seriously cruel irony in the fact that Trayvon Martin and Don Cherry share a birthday.
One was a Black kid who was stolen from the world far too young, the other is a White man who would've gifted the world by dying a long time ago.

"One question I have, is unlike #GeorgeZimmerman, wasn’t #Fortson #standinghisground? (Zimmerman killed teen #TrayvonMartin, whose #shooting #death in Central #Florida by a #neighborhoodwatch #volunteer in 2012 caused a nationwide firestorm.)"

CW: It's not "white fear" (Jordan Neely's murder)
These murderers have their guns and keep them loaded not out of fear, but out of eagerness: they are actively looking for opportunities to murder Black people (and other marginalized people, such a trans women).
Remember #AhmaudArbery; hell, remember #TrayvonMartin.
"fear" is always the justification after the fact; 'fear' is the impunity ticket.

CW: “Back the Blue” rant (language)
Nah. Fuck the blue. Cops are racist bullies who took the job so they can continue terrorizing people they don’t like with the protection of the law behind them. It’s clear from what happened to #GeorgeFloyd #trayvonmartin and now #TyreNichols that they’re the modern equivilant of the KKK just with a uniform and badge instead of the white robes. Defund the fucking police and put that money into solving homelessness. You reduce crime most efficiently by meeting people’s material and mental needs.
