Some local links for local folks:

a.) now is a real good time to send Boston City Council testimony about defunding the police, the FY21 budget hearing is on Tuesday at 10 AM

b.) in a small piece of good news, the MBTA will no longer bus police to protests

In related but less explicitly local links/news:

c.) if you haven't heard about itch.io's truly ridiculous Black Lives Matter bundle, it is seven hundred! and forty!! games of various sorts for five dollars or as much as you want to contribute, with all proceeds split between the NAACP and Community Bail Fund. I purchased on principle & out of general enthusiasm and now I'm just staring in overwhelmed desperation at this truly enormous pile of indie game material; perhaps I will never actually play any of the games, and only sleep on top of them, like a dragon too afraid to wade into her hoard.

d.) via [personal profile] nextian, I discovered this spreadsheet of Black Lives Matter vocab in Yiddish; two hours later, my Yiddish teacher emailed the same spreadsheet and recommended we all study it for our next class. Anyway, if you're wondering how to say 'daloy politsey', here's the classic version of the Yiddish anti-cop anthem and here's a punk-rock version.
