#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Abolition #CommunitySafety #ViolenceReduction As mentioned in the story above, progress is always fragile, and is often made more tenuous by callous government action. This second link highlights how difficult government can make it for community based programs to work effectively. The open secret is state and federal governments don’t always want a reduction in violence because it fuels their demands to add more police. 2/3

Covid cautious N95 masks collage
Accompanied my Mom to doctor's appointment this morning. This was mainly for getting another prescription for her recurring gout issue. She got a physical checkup too. Her doctor & his MOA were masked up. None of the other medical clinic staff & no other patients were masked.
Location of masking report: Burnside Medical Clinic - office in lower part of building - there's a different office with same name on main level.
En route to pharmacy to pickup prescription refills. A #SelfPortrait in the car.
