This past week a delegation from the Tulsa PD visited the Atlanta Police Foundation to learn from their “programs.”
It’s clear: #StopCopCity is not a local movement. Atlanta Police Foundation aims to be a model for the U.S.— we must fight at all costs.

You might’ve heard that Joe Biden renewed Cuba on the State Sponsors of Terrorism List. Being on this list isn’t just a label, it has serious consequences for everyday Cuban people.

The killing of #AjikeOwens, a mother of four in Florida, while trying to retrieve an iPad for her child, is a heartbreaking tragedy. We demand justice for AJ and her family.

This morning, @NPR claimed that the Atlanta City Council is listening to its constituents, evidenced by the "reforms" to the Cop City funding package they made. The ones that nobody asked for.
War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
