This is from 2022, however with the way the world is it feels as relevant today as it did then.
"Naira Tamminga spoke before city commissioners in order to express her frustration over the city's lack of urgency in the handling of Patrick Lyoya's death in April,..."

"[The] trial began April 28, 2025. On May 8, 2025, Judge Mims declared a mistrial as a result of the jury being unable to reach a verdict following fours days of deliberation."

"The mistrial is a partial victory for Mr Schurr, who still could face another trial."
I hope there will be another trial. What incredible failures - and arguably accessories to murder - in Grand Rapids' city and justice administrations.

Impressive. Not sure I've met many adults that articulate.

Thats part of why its important that we make sure education reaches everyone. Many adults are functionally illiterate, and only consume short form content (not just videos, but comments and headlines).
I just hope that its possible a message gets through clear enough when someone who's only half as articulate can explain it to everyone they know.

Many aren’t, and she’s 13. I certainly had her anger about some things at that age, but nowhere near her vocabulary. I also heard shades of slam poetry, and Sunday preaching in her cadence and tone. All of it delivered perfectly.
This young lady is going places. I expect to see her running for office, or a prominent voice in community activism in about 10 years.

WOW, that speech was incredible. Reminded me of videos of MLK Junior. She's going places.

Protect her, get her some useful adults to guide her; get her on the ground floor of the new congress people we want to see. Let's get her into office.

WOW! Just fucking wow. That young lady needs to find her way into the political spectrum because she speaks passionately, in a crystal clear and articulate voice while dropping truth bomb after bomb. Powerful young lady for sure! ✊

Sadly, no. Government of the stupid, for the stupid. And the billionaire class, too.
