How many times have you been stopped by the police--without doing anything to give them a reason to stop you, like speeding, or weaving all over the road, or throwing stuff out the window?

I think it's that I look like a white soccer mom, honestly, which makes me feel helplessly furious in ways I can't articulate. The stuff I'm seeing and reading about the past few years with regard to police brutality and racism is repulsive and sickening - but even more repulsive and sickening is the certainty that it's been going on all along, but we've now reached the point as a tech society that we get it on video more often than we ever could before. All of this makes me feel like I'm drenched in something disgusting.

Yes, I feel like the rest of America is finally getting that we haven't been making it up all these years. I feel like we're on the cusp of something big--hopefully, something positive will come out of all this.
