The #DerekChauvin verdict is a sigh of relief felt across the country.
But one courtroom verdict cannot repair the broken trust of Black & Brown communities betrayed by centuries of systemic racism, mass incarceration & police brutality.
And it cannot bring #GeorgeFloyd back.

The trauma and tragedy of George Floyd’s murder must never leave us. It was a manifestation of a system that callously devalues the lives of Black people.

The jury's verdict delivers accountability for Derek Chauvin, but not justice for George Floyd. Real justice for him and too many others can only happen when we build a nation that fundamentally respects the human dignity of every person.

Former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin convicted of murder and manslaughter charges in the death of George Floyd.
Floyd’s death stirred worldwide protests against racism after video showed Chauvin pinning Floyd to the ground with his knee on his neck.

This goes to show you: a black person can get justice in America—providing their slow and deliberate murder by an officer is clearly recorded in the light of day.

The Governor of Alaska just declared war on the University of Alaska & Fairbanks, slashing UA's budget by 41% -- $130 million. He made these cuts in order to give Alaskans a larger yearly dividend check. This is madness. @UA_GovRelations @uafairbanks

This represents the overreach once again by the Trump administration to dismantle the program that I work for, the Landscape Conservation Cooperatives. Officials within DOI openly defied the funding guidelines set by Congress as they defunded & dismantled our program. #corruption

Tennessee has a “Natural Marriage Defense Act” under consideration. Years ago, TN tried to ban the word “gay” out of classrooms. I leant my name to that cause, asking teachers to just say “Takei” instead. So let’s keep “Takei” marriage legal in TN. Because it’s OK to be Takei.

Agreed. Access to health insurance and the cost of diabetes drugs/supplies has changed the course of my career, and my low-paying career choice means the quality of my healthcare has suffered.

As a scientist I've had an "elevator speech" prepared for a few years now.
This year I made an "elevator video" & let me tell you: people enjoy seeing my research way more than just hearing about it!
So what do #beavers have to do with #wildfire? Watch (with sound) & find out!
