Disaster capitalism at work in Puerto Rico: new plans to ship prisoners to private prisons on the mainland. Companies are taking advantage of Hurricane Maria and the island’s fiscal crisis to push for privatization and reap profits.

ICE subdued a woman in front of her kids and bundled her away in an SUV — then, in response to outrage, declared that she played a key role in a criminal human trafficking ring.
The woman has been released without charge.

They are putting this bogus charge on Michael Bennett to send a message to OTHER Black NFL players to stop calling out white supremacy, or they will use the system of white supremacy to target other Black players who get too “uppity”
[he's been arrested under dodgy circumstances for a crime there doesn't appear to be any evidence of save for one officer's testimony]

As an Asian-American who was racially and physically assaulted at Vanderbilt hospital in Tennessee, I was placed under arrest after calling the police for help. Michael Bennett is just the latest victim of systemic racism and institutional white supremacy.

After Trayvon, Tamir,& Brown, media asked—where are the Black fathers?
But no one doubted the families of white terrorists after Emanuel, Parkland, & Vegas. Meanwhile, Roof's sis, Cruz's bro, & Haddock's bro—all arrested for violence
And no one's asking about Conditt's family😐
In other words, media doubts Black fathers when Black kids are the victims of violence—but refuses to doubt white families when white terrorists are the perpetrators of mass violence.
White privilege is POC suffering collective guilt—while whites are viewed as unique individuals
