1. Walmart opened its first superstore in 1962, but it wasn’t until the 1980s that it (and other chains) exploded, killing local retailers & taking over. What happened? The government stopped enforcing a crucial antitrust law, the Robinson-Patman Act. ilsr.org/boxed-out/

NEVER FORGET what the NYPD did to Kalief Browder. A young innocent black man who sat on Rikers Island for 3 YEARS w/o trial for a backpack he DIDN’T steal. He committed suicide after spending two yrs in solitary confinement. 730 days alone. This was in 2015. Only 5 years ago!
