BRIGHTON, Colo. - The ex-paramedic Jeremy Cooper, who was responsible for the administration of the anesthetic ketamine to Elijah McClain, managed to escape incarceration. Having been found guilty of homicide in the case of the young Black man's death, Cooper was handed a probation sentence today 💔

In response to MEAction NOW.
Ketamine is not a tranquilizer. Having been subject to it myself as a result of a dislocated knee. It did not stop the pain. It just prevented me from interacting with the world. I became a bag of flesh surrounding a locus of pain. Unable to communicate with the outside world trapped in my mind.

Amee Vanderpool @girlsreallyruleFlorida's six week abortion ban starts today, so women and girls on the entire southeast coast will no longer have access to abortion services, and the ban correlates with the Republican plan to illegally throw children off their healthcare plans.

The most consequential election since 1932 is on the horizon. Most of us have it together, it's everybody else that needs to be reminded. The biggest lesson of all, voting based on feels is how we got Trump in 2016. Let's not vote from feels, let's vote on the best people.

Continue to engage with the Young People and remind them they got way too much on the line to sit out, or to toss away their votes. The participation is for EVERYONE. It's also on everyone not also not fall for the same ops the GOP has put out 6 months from November 5th.

They should not want any Republican in power, because their education, their health care, their right to choose who to marry, abortion/family planning, higher wages, safer schools, Student loans, jobs, etc ARE their issues, and they MUST be made aware of that. This is why GOTV has been Important.

...but, people will need to be mindful that there might be trouble-starters. It's not even easy to the fact that the US Supreme Court has allowed for organizers of protests to be sued if something goes wrong. As for the Young People and Palestine...if you're a parent with a college-aged kid...

However, there will be agitations from provocateurs that will happen. The foot soldiers will do the dirty work, while the planners watch safely from a distance (which is what's going on now with the protests, and what has happened with BLM protests). Protesting is a right guaranteed...
