Joel Stallworth, the owner of an LA shop that was looted: 'Obviously I don't want y'all tearing up my shop, but please do it if it's gonna cause this attention to bring justice to a man that was unarmed.'
Joel Stallworth is smiling in front of his tiny boarded up shop in downtown Los Angeles. He’s wearing a black T-shirt he designed not long after looters swarmed through the smashed door and carried out armloads of clothing and accessories. Around a photograph ofin tatters, red lettering says: “We love y’all. Thanks for the energy.” And that’s his message for every single person who walked out with his merchandise on May 29: “That is not a stolen good. That is a fight for freedom.
Years of hard work and life savings were wiped out overnight, putting reopening plans on hold and forcing small businesses to seek relief from insurers or their communities. He didn’t study fashion, but on his own began making the kind of clothing and hats he longed to wear. People stopped him so many times on the street, his wife persuaded Stallworth to make a career out of it.
The real looters? “The people who are supposed to protect the law. The looters are the people who stuck their knee down on a man’s neck.”Under a bright red awning in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District is one of the city’s popular dim-sum joints. A colorful mural on the plywood covering the front window shows the cityscape with the message: “We’re open!” Above is a “Black Lives Matter” sign.

Weeknight Broken Lasagna with Lots of Greens Recipe on Food52Consider this recipe a lighter, more casual way to enjoy lasagna, that crowd favorite, for a summery weeknight dinner. Rather than layering noodles with loads of ground meat, cheese, and tomato sauce (which is delicious during a snowstorm but not my favorite when it's 80° and sunny), you boil the long, wide noodles (alternatively, break them up before you boil) and toss them with a hefty dose of lemony ricotta cheese flecked with fresh mint and a load of minced chives. No need to turn on the oven.
