pickI loved this. It reminded me of Ann Patchett in the best way, but was also its own thing entirely. I‘m a sucker for an NYC cop theme since it‘s what I grew up with (but don‘t get me wrong, we need to #defundthepolice). #botm

I started this on Monday. It‘s such a hard read. I was sobbing Tuesday, couldn‘t bring myself to listen yesterday, and started back up today. I‘m 60% done and I‘m in tears again. The torture scenes are so horrifying. This has to stop. #DefundThePolice #BlackLivesMatter
Two must-read books to understand how broken the judicial system is and how the right to a fair trial does not apply if you are not white. The Sun Does Shine chronicles a man who spent 28 years on death row for a crime he didn't commit. Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect shines a light on police brutality and makes a great case for #defundthepolice
I‘m getting involved in virtual organizing actions to #defundthepolice via collectives like Critical Resistance and the Movement for Black Lives and Charlene Carruthers is on the panel of damn near every webinar I‘ve seen for two weeks. This book has been on my “to read list” for a while so it felt like the time to read it. Only a chapter in and I‘m already blown away. If you want to read real strategy for abolition & change, this is THE book‼️😍
