Incredible quote from the New Jersey attorney general, in response to a 31 y.o. cop - who’s bounced between *nine* different NJ police departments - randomly pepper spraying a group of teenagers https://t.co/i4dF8oYLvA pic.twitter.com/GjvUwnQQPN— Tom Gara (@tomgara) June 22, 2020
A racist attack on a group of black children caught on camera in 1975. Nearly 45 years later, video of the scene reemerged on the internet, and went viral. We wanted to find out who the children were — and why this moment resonated decades later. https://t.co/IltkGT4UX3— Whitney Hurst (@whitney_hurst) June 21, 2020
Rosedale, Queens (1978). By the mid-1970s, Black middle-class families were moving into the all-white neighborhood. Tensions rose, even amongst children. Here's a clip illustrating this tension. pic.twitter.com/u66FLwaeRo— SOLAECLIPSE®️ (@DrinkSolaPop) June 22, 2019
Read more from @whitney_hurst on how we, with @SarahMaslinNir/@jonah_kessel/@dodaistewart, geolocated the scene, combed through public records and hundreds of yearbooks, made over 90 calls, and even read obscure forum posts from retired NYPD officers. https://t.co/9KBo842ImI— Christiaan Triebert (@trbrtc) June 22, 2020

Oh yeah no I agree completely. I think it’s just ppl relishing a failure that was really the Trump campaign’s own doing, and the bogus numbers they hyped being more salt in the wound https://t.co/KiwOm1RKTw https://t.co/xjR1sULHwV— Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) June 21, 2020
I guess the real thing that makes me wary is less about whether it's true, and more what it produces: older generations of liberals are now talking about teens and Kpop fans in the same way that Trump boomers talk about 4chan: as vigilante forces they love but don't understand.— Abby Ohlheiser (@abbyohlheiser) June 21, 2020

So, I'm listening to the audiobook of the David Michaelis biography of Charles Schulz and he mentions a sequence where Snoopy gives an anti-draft speech at the Daisy Hills Puppy Farm and is tear-gassed and hit with a dog dish (?!). pic.twitter.com/5EGLf0n5ak— Ben Towle (@ben_towle) June 22, 2020
