Tonight in Ferguson, Mo. Even CNN is calling out police brutality.

We are watching history unfold. Do not stand down. Spread the word.

No justice, no peace.

Reminder that:

- no, this isn’t over;
- no, these aren’t from earlier in the week;
- no, everything isn’t alright now;
- no, the police haven’t stopped brutalizing peaceful protesters;
- no, police haven’t intervened to stop the looting;
- no, police haven’t responded to emergency 911 calls for people injured by rubber bullets or children hit by cars;
- no, michael brown’s shooter still has not faced any consequences for murdering an unarmed teenager 9 days ago

Link to the NYT article on the autopsy

[extemporally]

not that we need evidence of michael brown’s unlawful killing by darren wilson to make the totality of police brutality over the past, shit, week now unfair and cold-blooded and repugnant, but for some reason this careful piece-by-piece laying out of the evidence brought it home to me all over again.

Here’s a by-the-numbers look at who lives in Ferguson, who’s in charge, who gets stopped by police, and more.

A sample of tweets on #Ferguson tonight, 8/13/14

[invisiblelad]

Twitter has been incredibly useful throughout all of this. It seems like the mainstream press is just getting caught up. (And arrested and doused with tear gas at this point).

Protect yourself from teargas. Palestinians send solidarity and advice to peaceful demonstrations facing police crackdown in Ferguson.

So now the perception is, yes, women are here to stay. And when I’m sometimes asked when will there be enough [women on the Supreme Court]? And I say when there are nine, people are shocked. But there’d been nine men, and nobody’s ever raised a question about that.

Shout out to the anti-abortion crowd for their amazing ability to take any subject under the sun and make it about abortion.

Yeah, uh, what exactly does this have to do with abortion? I’m so confused.

I’ve been reading And the Band Played On, which is a fairly old book, but it’s really interesting how it reads like a disaster novel when it’s based on true events. I have the same pit in my stomach reading this that I do when reading, like, Stephen King or something and I just want to shake the 80’s.

hey guys the supreme court is in the business now of deciding which of your religious beliefs are important enough to merit legal protection and which aren’t, so that’s pretty cool i guess
