@WrittenByHanna A few people need their ass beat and it ain’t the child.
Dearest @ProfJStewart, So filled with joy and pride that your wonderful work is being recognized and honored by MacArthur. Thank you for all that you do to amplify Black filmmakers and audiences. I applaud you today and everyday. https://t.co/0mqZw7Qstl
I actually find it pretty selfish and cowardly to continue to defer this crisis to a generation who did not cause it. Young people are brilliant, & I understand how necessary optimism is- but this is a daunting fucking task that those in power are pretending is beyond them now. https://t.co/gsGVahBVR5
I don't know who made the call on Stagecoach Mary's role. Casting Directors don't make final calls. This is really symptomatic of the whole industry. I think it stings in a different way given the Black leadership on the project.

grateful for all who have helped to make it possible. @MarthaBiondi my grad adviser who told me it was ok for me to be myself & @esglaude, @imaniperry, & Naomi Murakawa who insisted I could do my own thing at Princeton. & the comrades @haymarketbooks who have always made a way. https://t.co/dxvaHWFvMh
Please, if you’re going to mention Tuskegee (a great example of medical racism) please actually read what happened. Cuz the comparison ain’t doing what you think it does when you haven’t read the history.

No disrespect to any of the recipients, but every year I wonder how many people recommended @prisonculture and how many excuses they had to come up with to say no - maybe the issue is we haven't come up with an abolition emoji yet? https://t.co/UO8j8FEu3N

Remember the time you called for a constitutional amendment in FL to end a lifetime ban on voting for people with felony convictions and people didn’t believe it could win? Remember when it won and then you got #MacFellow Genius award?

Wow remember whole concerts at talk shows? Beyonce used to sing on Oprah 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that is so funny in hindsight. That’s not a thing anymore!!!!!
It’s the denial of the innocence of Black girlhood for me. I keep coming back to that part.
@BGUnscripted @LeslieMac I honestly burst into tears. I'm so disappointed.
There's no space at all for us to talk about this silent pain - none at all - without being accused of hating the men in our families and communities and being racially disloyal.
I'm thankful for those with the courage.

At this point instead of asking "when did you fall in love with hip-hop?" a more pertinent question Black Women find themselves asking is "when did hip-hop break my heart?"

And I want to add a special thanks to @jaycurley who always knows when to show up & when to get out the way. A rare quality in most people much one who holds power and privilege that he is committed to using in service of others.
It has been a long time since I've been able to do something just for ME. A project that wasn't about a campaign or a client or organizing. Just a creative outlet to talk about and share something I love. It has fed me this year in very real ways.

Wow. @LeslieMac I'm so COVID weary yo. In the opening skit I had to yell "Tear Gas Mask" because like when you say mask now......😷
But despite all that. A funny AF open again. You should get a belated wookie for your acting this season. What you think @wookplus? @WeekendWook?
@LeslieMac I know for sure that Dre & Snoop absolutely broke my heart, but I'm trying to remember if there was anything before that.
I was in high school hearing The Chronic for the 1st time & that last track was blunt & blatant & I felt disrespected. But I didn't know how to say it.
You can tell which media is closest to the work based on if they get there facts from real people or copy and pasting.
@LeslieMac Thank you for that. The nineties. And it may be a universal women thing. That was some deep heartbreak. Took years to understand and get over.
@lennyaduncan @LeslieMac @wookplus I think you guys may be in the running for the Best Podcast Wookie next year. There's a lot out there, but you guys came out hot!

@MrChuckD What indication do you have that R Kelly wants to change? There has been no remorse. What there has been is decades of abusing Black girls, women & boys. Let's remember that Aaliyah was 15 and he was 27 when she was impregnated & they were married. Where is the accountability?

So many people who furiously and erroneously tell me what my father believed absolutely refuse to study his teachings beyond a few quotes.
That’s very telling and extremely unfortunate.
There are four people directly above me in the ACLU hierarchy and whole departments that I have nothing to do with. I am trans and I advocate for my community every day and I am grateful for my work in the organization but I get a lot of backlash just trying to do my job.

“Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.” #MLK
@djgiglio @MRSpinkston85 I’m very familiar with the speech. It wasn’t about being blind to color, but about loving people and not “judging” them because of their color. That doesn’t mean you don’t see their color.
I’m also very familiar with all of his books, including these: https://t.co/ZRgqBDzpD8
@KaioKenobi Glad to respond to your question, which I felt was sincere.
His goal was the Beloved Community, where we engage each other with love, compassion and dignity; where racism, war and poverty have been eradicated; not where people have been made blind to “color”, but where we see and treat each other humanely. #MLK https://t.co/Zdh0EDe1WY https://t.co/TejI93TfRU
Study his teachings via trainings with @TheKingCenter.
And listen to and read what HE spoke and wrote beyond a few lines from an iconic speech and his most quoted words.
There’s a reason why some things he said are seldom quoted.
Dig into these books: https://t.co/RV2uKclxub https://t.co/WK7zdxFSSu
@RustyIronRat I don’t think you’ve been consciously attentive to what I share here or to what my father wrote and spoke. I’m very, very far from being a racist. I believe that we can create the Beloved Community and have to deal with the truth about history and current injustices to do that.

Not wanting people “to be judged by the color of their skin” DOES NOT = wanting a colorblind society.
It is possible (AND humane) to see each other + engage each other with love and justice.
THAT is what my father wanted.
We have to end racism, not ignore it, to get there.

And truly, if we gave these resources to trans and Black and Indigenous women, it would make us all safer. Maybe those cops would have known and cared about the signs of an abusive relationship early enough to save Gabby Petito. Maybe she wouldn't have been in danger at all.
Just about every WOC I know at least semi-refused to follow this story bc of how much it hurt to think about the way we and our sisters would never receive this treatment. To say that out loud is to invite accusations of cold-heartedness by those whose hearts are the coldest.

@MrChuckD Considering how long it took for his victims to receive justice and the public scorn they’ve received for decades, isn’t a little too soon to be talking about possible redemption? I don’t care about R Kelly’s redemption. I care that the survivors finally receive our support

gender critical men are just MRAs who’ve duped women into giving them feminist cred https://t.co/taJ9RELmYJ
Shocking that Linehan is now turning on 'gender-critical' feminists because they are criticising *him*. It's almost as if white men obsessed with (white) women's 'protection' see us as their rightful property, and use us as a pretext for perpetrating violence and abuse 🤔
@mazdaroyale @ztsamudzi Yes, melatonin production, circadian rhythmicity. It’s a deliberate mess.
@ztsamudzi And the generators make so much noise, and emits noxious gasses that it’s such a violent use of light and sound.

@Gr8SageEqlofHvn That’s embarrassing because it was never worth anything lol
@wewatchwatchers An assault on almost all sensory fronts, that’s colonial efficiency
“High-mast lighting is not technically efficient in lighting dense self-built neighborhoods, as it casts dark shadows on the pathways.” The lights are on the settlements’ peripheries, “shining from above & into them, rather than from within.”

Let’s not do that disciplining work on academia’s behalf.
Nice as it might be to be the only black person in the room, you’re often not there simply because you’re good: it’s because white people bank on you becoming territorial, that they can uplift you for the sake of diversity and count on you to sabotage others.
That isn’t always common amongst black scholars, especially with tenure. But she really models an intellectual fellowship and rejection of black exceptionalism/tokenism that German Studies and many other disciplines continue to nurture.
I appreciate this thread and especially coming from Tiffany who, as I was trying to get my bearings with my dissertation and still am in/around the field, she was nothing but generous in her committee support, general mentorship, and resource sharing.
@ztsamudzi reminds me of when he reviewed latoya ruby frazier. hilton dont like work that deals w the traumas of poverty/class

For some reason, @LAPDHQ thought they could get away with this messy setup. But when you fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us. We will be outside the station like: https://t.co/o1K1cCfmvo https://t.co/4BQU0j6Bde
I didn’t notice, but do the detention officers wear bodycam?
If so I’m going to fight to get access to them. The detention cops were pissed-off at the regular cops’ treatment. Especially Detective Ren.
So pissed one was telling me he’s confronting the cops. I want the cam.
Six months after removing nearly 200 people and fencing off the park, LAHSA now tells the media only 4 people have been permanently housed.
@MitchOFarrell lied to the public before, during, and after the events at Echo Park Lake. He has never been held accountable for that. https://t.co/jAWuadOdN9
@PplsCityCouncil @nithyavraman @PaulKoretzCD5 can your offices tell us why DHS is in our neighborhood?

Just like Alex Villanueva is targeting the LASD civilian oversight commission LAPD is going after the only functional civilian oversight mechanism they face here, @FilmThePoliceLA. https://t.co/iBbaJs6e5R

Here is a complaint I filed against officer Nelson TWO weeks ago.
I also filed a complaint on the Captain McGuyre for failure/neglect of supervisory duties relating to this incident. Today they manufacture charges against me.
But you can’t stop me.
https://t.co/Dkiww095Ku
Here is the FIRST complaint I filed against Officer Nelson (the cop who arrested me) back nearly a year ago.
He had retaliation on his mind. https://t.co/y5ezBdgo3t
Lmao at them SEIZING BOTH OF MY PHONES and claim them as *evidence*.
Does this surprise me? Not at all. They want to send a message. But jail doesn’t bother me. My son is dead. Nothing hurts me anymore. Not scared of shit.
Won’t stop me.
Think about this: the cops admit there was an argument (me telling him to stop throwing object at cars). I told cops he pulled a knife and pole. The cops have his knife and pole.
But, him saying I threatened him was worse than him pulling a knife on me (and others 2 hrs later).
This will NOT be my last arrest — and I’m fine with it. I know what I signed up for.
I do this to:
1) Protect people.
2) Hold cops accountable for rampant misconduct.
3) Expose how broken the LAPD accountability process is under @LAPDChiefMoore.
Today helps expose number 3.
Like I said, I get to the scene, he’s handcuffed, his big ass knife is on the ground next to his pole.
And because he said I made a threat, they UNCUFFED HIM, and handcuffed me. 🙃
They probably gave him his knife back.
I could tell he didn’t really want to stab me. And I didn’t want to test it.
I left, went to CD4 offices to tape, go to Body Energy Club and get a smoothie, walk a mile back home. That’s when I heard sirens and found out “415 man with knife”.
Knew he was probably the suspect.
Let’s be clear about: the arresting the unhoused guy for threatening people with a knife.
I came to the scene and began recording. The unhoused guy being arrested for the knife, sees me, and makes this accusation.
Our confrontation happened 2 HOURS before this incident. https://t.co/LzNSeQB3Qg https://t.co/ztxvawF0vV

Lots of people angry at this tweet in the replies but with the amount of misinformation coursing through the 30 percent or so of POC who remain unvaccinated I’m taking the wins where I can get them. People are reluctant for many reasons. When they come around, I for one am glad.
Whatever research @KingJames did brought him to the wise conclusion, for his and his family’s health, his teammates’ and their families’ health, and for the battle against COVID misinformation. Proud of him. More of this please. Let’s beat this damned pandemic once and for all. https://t.co/hPrT0XD43o

Quite the development in Texas… https://t.co/TrUaQ9aC5j
I wonder if the chef who came up with peanut butter cauliflower wings understood how much money they were about to make off of stoned people. Probably so.
These wings are great.
It used to be me out there. Carceral attitudes and policies kill people living with addiction. Period. We have to change everything. https://t.co/n5BcN0razu
“I just thought that she sounded so interesting,” he tells #ESSENCE. “She was doing all this awesome stuff and she was very family centric. You could tell her family was really, really important to her. And I know for me, it was the same.” https://t.co/gCe3tbM4vt
@JoyAnnReid @TiffanyDCross And not a damn vegetable ANYWHERE 😒
This hearing is doing only one thing: reinforcing the fact that the @gop is not a political party. It is an authoritarian trolling operation.
I only want to hear from @SenDuckworth re Afghanistan from here on out. @SenRickScott can talk again when the hearing is about Medicare fraud.
The judge asked if the attorney is certified to translate. She said no... but neither is the interpreter who was hired to provide simultaneous translation. Hearing halted again to connect the attorney to her clients for translation. This is a clusterfuck.
For @prismreports, I interviewed @Grassroots_News' co-ED, Claudia Muñoz, who said Greg Abbott is holding the line for Trump-era immigration policies: https://t.co/zQTrW8eNpN
@NBCNews We already knew this because the ruling class decided that there would be nothing to impede their wealth accumulation, not even an existential threat TO HUMANKIND!!!!

I would love to know if Jonathan discussed his hesitancy with an actual doctor. I’m guessing no, because if he did, he would know the antibodies from Covid don’t last.
Also his biggest objection seems to be people criticizing him for not being vaccinated. Which seems childish. https://t.co/GHK2aZlMst
@TheTattooedProf @jelani9 Mine just showed up on Kindle!
