Police brutality against Black people is once again bringing Philadelphians to the streets.
More than 150 people gathered for a rally in front of City Hall Tuesday night in what’s become a familiar response when police kill an unarmed Black man or woman. This time rally-goers demanded justice for Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old from Brooklyn Center, Minnesota who police there killed Sunday night.
“Cops are still killing us,” said 25-year-old Marsha Pisces, who helped spread the word about the rally on social media in a grassroots effort to bring attention to Wright’s death.

The Bay Area DJ known as Bassnectar, born Lorin Ashton, has been accused by two women of sex trafficking and soliciting explicit photos while the pair were minors, as revealed in a lawsuit obtained by Vulture.
The complaint filed in Tennessee alleges that Ashton used “his power and influence to groom and ultimately sexually victimize underage girls.” The women named in the lawsuit state that Ashton knew they were underage, messaged them on social media, requested explicit photos and invited them to hotel rooms where they had sex and received hundreds of dollars in compensation.
