Morning, y'all. Unbridled optimism isn't doing its work on me today. Probably since everything from the waist down on one side is in excruciating pain. It's been 3 days running, I'm at the end of my rope. And my birthday is in TWELVE days! Anyway, I'm short:

$0/$620 💸💕

One of the points Joshua Davis makes in *Police Against the Movement* is that COINTELPRO was started by the police and all the FBI did was federalize it.

And SNCC and CORE did a ton of organizing around police brutality specifically.

Police Against the Movement
A bold retelling of the 1960s civil rights struggle through its work against police violence—and a prehistory of both the Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter movements that emerged half a century...
