Little Turtle’s War — THE BITTER SOUTHERNER The shooting death of a protestor at the hands of police feels like both an inevitable outcome of this long battle over Atlanta’s South River Forest and a completely preventable tragedy.

On some level, Teran knew the risks they were taking and was smart enough to be frightened. “Am I scared of the state?” they said. “Pretty silly not to be. I’m a brown person. I might be killed by the police for existing in certain spaces.” To cope with that fear, Teran leaned on a quote from Frank Herbert’s Dune: “Fear is the mind killer.” “That’s a quote I think about often. I am scared, but you can’t let the fear stop you from doing things, from living, from existing, from resisting.”

I didn't know this existed until right now. #VivaTortuguita I still cry every time I think of you, Manny.

Today, we remember the life and legacy of #Tortuguita. We’re proud of our members who represent Paez Terán’s parents who are suing the 3 state troopers who carried out the raid that led to their child’s death. @spearsfilipovits.bsky.social #vivatortuguita
