“No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority.” - Joseph Addison

*Incoming political thread*

I didn’t watch the video of George Floyd’s death until a couple minutes ago. There’s nothing appealing about watching a man die. I only recently watched the video of Ahmaud Arbery being hunted down and killed.

I’m not going to discuss the murder of Arbery too much in this thread, but his death was inexcusable and a reflection of the dangers that come with being a black person in the United States. Thanks to digital activism (which is important!), his murderers will likely go to jail.
