sonya massey was killed in her own home.

she called the police for help, and they killed her over her pot of water and her trying to banish evil spirits from her home (there was a intruder suspected)

she apologized, and they shot her.

“she had boiling water” that doesnt mean sean grayson should have killed her.

sonya massey.

sonya massey.

sonya massey.

sonya massey.

we black women cant even be okay in our own home, who are we supposed to call now?

police officers are supposed to protect and serve the public. but they only protect themselves.

SAY HER FUCKING NAME.

Today I'm remembering Pebbles LaDime "Dime" Doe.

A Black trans woman killed for showing up as her true authentic self. She was only 24 years old.

(x)

Her case was the first federal trial for a hate crime based on the victim's gender identity.

Installation view of Freedom Square: The Black Girlhood Altar at the Chicago Cultural Center

The exhibition at the Chicago Cultural Center opens with the installation “Homegoing.” The work is a suspended image depicting a screenshot from Ma’Khia Bryant’s personal TikTok. In the photo she’s laying her edges, her jet-black hair shining, her baby face clean and free of makeup. Below the printed photo is a collection of candles, stuffed animals, and a bouquet. On April 20, 2021, Ma’Khia was killed by an Ohio police officer in what was later determined a justifiable homicide. She was 16 years old. 

In the gallery titled Rest and Recess: The Courtyard, the exhibition transports the viewer to the Caribbean where Black girls play together unburdened and hopeful. A tree, sculpted by Robert Narciso and made from branches from Rekia Boyd’s family home, sits in the center of the room casting a protective shadow over everything. From its branches hang yellow paper hearts scribed with the hopes and dreams of little Black girls. The sound of their joyful cacophony activates the space.

This was her FAVORITE time of year... She should be spending it with family... she should be be alive. I'm pissed she's not. I'm so so pissed. I'm hurt. on the verge of tears.

Please dont forget her face, her name, her smile, her caring soul.

She wanted to be a nurse. Wanted to help mothers and babies... And she never got to.

The world was a better place when she was in it...

Merry Christmas Breonna... Thinkin ab you...

5 years ago today, 26-year-old #BreonnaTaylor was killed by Louisville Metro Police after they forced entry into her home.

The killing of Taylor by police officers and the initial lack of charges against the LMPD officers involved sparked numerous protests with supporters adopting the motto #SayHerName. These protests against police brutality and racism were concurrent with the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement across the United States.

Before her untimely death, Taylor was an award-winning ER medical technician who dedicated her life to helping others and aspired to become a nurse.

Taylor's family was awarded $12 million in compensation and was given a promise the LMPD would reform its practices.

Five years ago this week, Breonna Taylor was shot and killed inside her home during a botched police raid in Louisville, Kentucky.

In November 2024, one of the officers was found guilty of violating Breonna’s civil rights during the execution of a search warrant that led to her tragic death. While this conviction was a step in the right direction, true justice would be Breonna Taylor still living today. 

This Women's History Month and always, we honor her life and say her name. 🕊️💜

Sonya Massey's last words were "I'm sorry."

[cardierreh15]

I will never not believe in BLM. Sure, the movement has become fraudulent as hell but for most black people, this shit is a way of life. This is OUR LIFE. Ain’t no movement or the way people feel about it gone ever make me change how I feel about black lives. Its more than a movement, it’s more than a fucking statement.

I am a black woman. My daughters are and will grow up to be black women. My mother, my grandmothers, aunts and uncles are black people. And their lives matter.

Sonya Massey’s life, fucking mattered! And they shot her in her own fucking home!

Say her name!

Shaimaa Akram Saydam.

A bright young mind, her life snatched away by the genocidal Israeli occupiers.

I find myself at a loss for words again, so many children dying, so many dreams along with them.

Palestine must be free, the slaughter of children has to stop.
