Black lives need protection. This is Oluwatoyin Salau, our system failed her. Missing since June 6, after reporting a sexual assault, she was found dead today. 19 years old. An artist and an activist. Her friend described her as a sad person with the “happiest soul”. If your heart could ever break more 💔 #blacklivesmatter #oluwatoyinsalau #sayhername #justicefortoyin

Heartbreaking new information from @agirlhasnopresident: Please share ❤️ This is #elijahmcclain murdered by Aurora, CO PD officers Nathan Woodyard, Jason Rosenblatt, & Randy Roedema. Massage therapist Elijah McClain walked home with an iced tea & scarf when the officers approached. Officers immediately moved to intimidation & threats while Elijah begged for mercy, saying he was “going home” & to “please respect my boundaries”. He’d been wearing a scarf to shield him from the cold due to his anemia. The officers slammed him to a wall, wrestled him to the ground & performed a “carotid choke hold”. All 3 officers “lost their cameras” in the “struggle”. They lied for the sake of audio claiming, “He grabbed for your gun, dude.” Elijah was handcuffed & vomiting when paramedics were called. Jeremy Cooper & a female paramedic administered ketamine without checking in with Elijah - taking at face value the lie that he needed sedation for “violent behavior”. After being tortured & verbally abused while fire & additional police looked on & paramedics assisted in the murder, Elijah suffered cardiac arrest in the ambulance. It is alleged that paramedics didn’t resuscitate Elijah for 2 minutes, which could be the cause of his brain damage which led to a coma. Elijah’s toxicology report showed 1400 mg of ketamine in his system - according to America drug enters.org 680 mg if ketemjne is lethal for 130 pound individual. Elijah was 140lbs. Aurora Chief Nick Metz & a corrupt coroner backed up the officers’ lies with false statements about the audio & video which helped 12+ people get away with the murder of Elijah McClain. DA Dave Young just issued a statement saying he intends to ignore our petition to reopen the case despite nearly 1 million signatures. Let’s not rest until the world knows the name #elijahmcclain #blacklivesmatter

Up to,but not exceeding, 100% happy.

This pink tree in my neighborhood has ruined my walk path variation because I HAVE to pass it every time I go outside or I’ll die. #flowersivepassedlately

Today on Remembered Embraces: Hugs from the Times Before Now, we wrap ourselves in the effortless summer sweater of @ddbruschi at Hamptons beach club just after @color_war played for a bunch of people who did not really “get it.” Rating: organic, sidehug, 10/10 #fbf #2015

My god do I miss the overhead lights, the beautiful women, the karaoke nights at Sunset. #tbt to 2017, drunkenly singing @thecranberries with my loves before we lost Delores.
