I know @joyannreid.bsky.social is a real one, she gave me my 1st opportunities to do public writing on The Grio & encouraged my brand of historical insights into contemporary issues. She made pathways for so many folks. Funny thing is, no matter what gets shut down, we will support each other. 💕

Trump just ordered the DOJ to eliminate the police misconduct database. Imagine losing your child to police brutality &finding out the officer had a violent history that wasn't tracked. That’s what happened to Eric Garners family. The officer who killed him had many complaints before that fatal day.
