The media silence around John Lee Cowell’s history is telling. If he’d been a killer of any other race they would have had his mother, father and next neighbors on TV, demanding they disavow him and what he did. #NiaWilson
All they’ve shared so far is generic information about his previous arrests shared with them by police. Whey aren’t TV cameras swarming outside this domestic terrorists house? Why aren’t his known associates being questioned?
Interesting a more right leaning paper in the area is digging into his crimes the most extensively...

We’ve been telling y’all about Deray for years. But when I told folks about his abusive behavior towards Black women in Ferguson, including me, folks attacked me. That’s when I knew folks didn’t give a fuck about Ferguson, we got thrown away for a clown in a costume.
And while we’re at it, Alicia Garza canceled an appearance in STL years ago and made local activists out to be violent because she knew folks would confront her the same way they just did deray.

Y’all wanna y’all about it for real or NAH?
In case you missed it: watch Deray and Alexis get confronted by Ferguson activists for consistently co-opting and lying about the movement.

7 incarcerated people were killed earlier this year in Lee Correctional in S.C.

It was the deadliest attack in a prison in 25 years.

Prison Strike 2018 is a direct response to the inhumane conditions inside prison walls, like how 7 people can be murdered with no consequences.
Incarcerated folks across the nation are striking for their LIVES, we need to pay attention.

ICE detainees have, many have joined the #PrisonStrike2018 by going on a solidarity hunger strike.

We can take action right where we are too.

Our struggles are all interlinked.
You can care about immigration and separated families AND fight for imprisoned folks, I promise.

If you want to know a secret, it’s really the SAME DAMN THING....

Join the #PrisonStrike.

SERENA TAHM.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
No one, NO ONE, hates on Serena Williams like white women tennis announcers.

They are consistently passive aggressive, skeptical and demeaning while commentating on Serena’s matches. I hate listening to their comments.

#oakmtg Mayor @LibbySchaaf just said she’s dedicated to “culture keeping” and I literally had to stifle a laugh. Girl, how you gon keep culture without the PEOPLE?
The respectability of this moderation is disgusting. A young man from East Oakland interrupted and the response of the moderator was incredibly condescending and spiteful.

#oakmtg
Libby Schaaf’s rebuttal to spending nearly half of the city’s budget on a racist, rapist police force is to say Oakland is no longer #2 on the most dangerous cities list and “i don’t think anybody wants to go back there.”

Yum, fear politics.

I got wind that BlackLivesMatter might be attempting to dissolve their national staff (with salaries well over 6 figures) back into local chapters. With no accountability around the MILLIONS of dollars in donations that never made their way to chapters or people doing work.
Anyone who donated to that org should be wondering where the majority of the donations went. But I’ve been telling y’all this for years.
just gonna drop this email here...

While “focusing on local organizing” sounds cute, there’s a LOT unanswered about the national staff and where all the money went.

Also, notice how the first main objective listed is “aggressive fundraising”. So they can blow more $ on vacays.

....so I find out, YET again, that someone that calls themselves a founder of movement has found a way to monetize on something I said in the moment yeeeeears ago.
...and it would be a common enough statement to believe in coincidence except their attempt to popularize it now and internet search clearly shows it wasn’t.
But ppl will believe what they want + say it’s was even as they support the “brilliance” and “heart” of the person trying to make it theirs.
