links - police violence, some other random stuff
More recent links related to police violence: this website is one of several efforts to document police brutality since George Floyd's killing prompted another round of protests. There's also a twitter thread currently with more than 500 separate incidents documented on video or photo (or both) from the last two weeks.
Two more links: first, The Police Have Been Spying on Black Reporters and Activists for Years. I Know Because I’m One of Them. Second, another twitter thread--a few of the blatant lies and other misleading or false statements made by the police about the protests.
My own suggestion if you want to do something by donating money: look for fundraising efforts related to people who have been injured in protests near you. Apparently a lot of the money-raising efforts for bail funds (for arrested protesters) are doing well enough at the moment.
Other links, entirely unrelated to the previous.
I'll have a post with some book commentary soon. I hope y'all are doing as well as possible in the current... everything.

- Twitter thread with some Oklahoma history: Have you ever heard the story about the gang of white outlaws who tried to rob a black-owned bank?
- The Soviet Military Program that Secretly Mapped the Entire World
