Never forget...

What started as a traffic stop over a turn signal ended with a 28-year-old woman dead in a Texas jail cell. So what happened to Sandra Bland?

On July 10, 2015, Sandra Bland was pulled over near Prairie View A&M University by Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Brian Encinia for failing to properly signal a lane change.

The encounter quickly became heated.

Dashcam footage showed Encinia ordering Bland out of her vehicle, reaching into the car and threatening to use a Taser when she refused to get out immediately.

Bland was eventually arrested and taken to Waller County Jail on a charge of assaulting a public servant.

Three days later, on July 13, Bland was found dead in her jail cell.

The medical examiner ruled her death a su***de, although the circumstances surrounding her death immediately prompted questions about jail procedures and whether she had been properly monitored.

Then investigators examined Encinia's arrest report.

In the report, he claimed that he had asked Bland to exit the vehicle so he could continue a safe traffic investigation.

But the dashboard-camera footage showed a much more confrontational encounter.

In January 2016, a grand jury indicted Encinia on a perjury charge, concluding that his written account conflicted with what the video showed.

The Texas Department of Public Safety then began the process of firing him.

Encinia eventually agreed to surrender his law-enforcement license and never work in law enforcement again. The perjury charge was later dismissed at the prosecution's request.

But what about Bland's death?

A Waller County grand jury considered whether anyone should face criminal charges over her death.

In December 2015, it declined to indict anyone in connection with her death.

Bland's family later filed a wrongful-death lawsuit. In 2016, the family reached a $1.9 million settlement with Waller County and the Texas Department of Public Safety, along with changes to jail procedures.

Sandra Bland had moved from Illinois to Texas to begin a new job at Prairie View A&M University.

Instead, a routine traffic stop became the final chapter of her life.

Her name was Sandra Bland.

Justice for Nolan Wells. Nolan Wells thought nothing of joining a large group of white people with his white friends, only to end up dead. There is a long history of Black people ending up mysteriously dead, with some causes of death being poorly explained. For numerous violations against and deaths of Black people, perpetrators have admitted their crimes to the authorities and were still never brought to justice. We see the same pattern when it relates to Nolan Wells.

No one who was closest to him that day is speaking. They took his phone. They deleted his conversations on his phone, and they deleted their own conversations on their phones. They hired lawyers. A piece of his body was missing after the coroners completed their examination, and they then declared that Nolan Wells had drowned. However, we now know he had no water in his lungs, which indicates he died before his body was placed in the lake. Still, none of his friends or the others who were with him are speaking.

Bottom line, it has been clear to us well before this organization was formed that there is a breed of white people who, through their genetics and cultural conditioning, violate and kxll Black people—both in the shadows and in plain sight. Because the system is complicit, the corrupt justice system must be demolished and replaced with a system where all are treated and judged equally. Until that day comes to pass, we will always question the system because it is inherently corrupt.

JUSTICE FOR TASIA FORTUNE 🕊️

A 29-year-old mother of four, Tasia Fortune, was found hanging from a tree behind an apparently vacant home in Jackson, Mississippi, on August 3, 2026.

Her death has devastated her family and raised serious questions about the circumstances surrounding her final moments.

📌 LATEST UPDATE: As of September 28, three men had been arrested and charged with murder in connection with her death. The charges are allegations, and the legal process is ongoing.

Four children have lost their mother. 💔🕊️

May Tasia Fortune be remembered, and may her family receive answers and justice.

🙏🏽 Keep her loved ones in your prayers.

How can we ever forget when white supremacists' terrorism has never stopped, since the day they laid their eyes on us hundreds of years ago? They keep reminding us that they are actively hunting us down. Preying on their primary targets is what predators do and is always on their mind. But yet, they are never appropriately punished in order to deter them because they created, control and operate their crooked justice system. Look at how many hxxgings are surfacing, especially in Mississippi, and then law enforcement, the coroners office and the government keeps stating we are doing it to ourselves. They are complicit. The K*K not only infiltrated the police system years ago, they are in every facet of the system in order to make sure the outcomes yield in their favor every time.

Heartbreaking. A Black woman tried to get help from the system that’s supposed to protect us from danger for a domestic violence restraining order against her partner and recieved the same physical abuse she was trying to prevent. The system truly fails Black people.

Domestic violence awareness month is quickly coming. Take grassroots collective action now by visiting silencetheviolence.ca and on the homepage, select female violence on the navigation bar.

An unsung hero.

𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐭 𝐁𝐲 𝐆𝐮𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 | While running back into the Las Vegas shooting to save strangers — his courage made him a symbol of heroism.

October 1, 2017. Route 91 Harvest Festival. Las Vegas. Fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay.

Jonathan Smith, then about 30, a copy-machine repairman from Orange County, was there with family for his brother’s birthday.

He did not only run. Accounts from that week say he pushed people down, pulled them behind cars and barriers, and kept going back. Reporters put the number he helped near 30.

When he stood to move two girls who were still exposed, a round hit the left side of his neck. Another hit his arm. Collarbone cracked. Rib cracked. Lung bruised.

An off-duty San Diego officer, Tom McGrath, packed the wound and would not leave him. Smith later said that man saved his life. Surgeons left the fragment in. Too close to nerves. He still walks with it.

The hospital photo — towel on the shoulder, bandage on the neck, phone in his hands — is the picture that went around the world. Smith told reporters he did not need a cape.

He said anybody should have done it. He and McGrath met again on camera days later. That reunion is real.

The caption that says Smith went back the next morning to ID the dead is not something this desk found in the 2017 hospital interviews. Treat that line as unverified.

He was not the only person who ran toward people that night. He is one whose face the country actually saw. The shooting remains the deadliest modern mass killing in this country.

Fifty-eight died on the grounds that night; the official toll later counted more. Smith lived with metal near the spine and said the pain did not make him special.

This post is 2017. Not a new Las Vegas attack. A Black man who moved toward the lawn when the sound started, and a photograph that still has to carry his name so the night does not swallow it. 🇨🇩
