"modern day lynch"

Today, we remember George Floyd. This should have been his 52nd birthday. We see how quickly people try to forget. How corporations and institutions that once shouted “Black Lives Matter” from rooftops now whisper nothing at all. They turned his murder into a marketing moment, used BLM signs as shields, then quietly walked away from DEI the minute the cameras left, proving their “commitment” was never about justice, only optics and profit. These weren’t mistakes; they were calculated, predatory campaigns to capitalize on pain and package it as progress. And time keeps proving the point. Instead of accountability, we’ve seen escalation, more brutality, more force, more state-sanctioned violence. The same federal government that claims to value freedom continues to expand systems like ICE, now inflicting new and familiar harm on Black and Brown communities across the country. What we face isn’t new, but it remains urgent. This work was created in direct response to George Floyd’s senseless and undeserved murder, and it remains painfully relevant today. Art, at its core, is a human response to grief, to injustice, to truth. We must continue to speak, write, share, and create to express our thoughts about the world around and within us. George Floyd’s death was not an accident. It was racism. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act is still needed now more than ever. It was designed to bring transparency and accountability to law enforcement and provide funding for families to pursue justice when victims are falsely reported as suicides in cases of racial violence, as in Demartravion “Trey” Reed’s case. His death underscores how deeply these failures run, as private citizens like Colin Kaepernick have been forced to fill the gaps left by government inaction. Kaepernick independently procured an autopsy that contradicted police claims of suicide, pointing instead toward homicide, an act that reflects both his continued resistance to systemic injustice and the personal cost he has long borne for speaking out against it. Now, Trey’s family has a chance to pursue the justice they deserve. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act remains proposed but unpassed, stalled in Congress due to Senate gridlock over issues like qualified immunity and the creation of a national police misconduct registry. When lawmakers failed to act, the Biden administration advanced partial reforms through Executive Order 14074 in 2022, by creating the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database and restricting the use of chokeholds and no-knock warrants. Those reforms were rolled back in early 2025 when the Trump administration rescinded the order, undoing much of the progress toward federal police accountability. So ask yourself…Is this a threat, and why does the government think so?
