- Calling out Netanyahu as a racist and declaring the rights of Palestinians wins my vote @BernieSanders. Thank you. #DemocraticDebate #DemDebate2020
- I’m front of DA Jackie Lacey’s house for that community meeting she promised with the @BLMLA crew. Rang her bell to invite her. Her husband pulled a gun, cocked it, pointed it at my chest and said “I’ll shoot you. I don’t care who you are.” @WP4BL @RealJusticePAC @shaunking
00:00 - And thank you to the man who intervened and affirmed this child’s genius and work ethic. This is what allyship looks like. May this act weigh heavy on the old White woman’s karma.
- LAPD exploded seized fireworks in South Central under the guise of keeping communities safe. They destroyed homes, cars, and seriously injured 17 people...then they made excuses about it. This would NEVER happen in an affluent white neighborhood. Police don't keep us safe.
- They are white-supremacist terrorists, not protestors.
- We hope and pray that Derek Chauvin is convicted. However, there will be no victories today. Justice would mean #GeorgeFloyd is still with us. #ChauvinTrial #BlackLivesMatter
- Fuck you @MayorOfLA. Stop acting like #GeorgeFloyd is an isolated incident. YOUR police killed #GrecharioMack #RedelJones #EricRivera #WakieshaWilson #JesseRomero #LeeJefferson #KenneyWatkins #BrotherAfrica You gave them more money. Blood is on your hands. #BlackLivesMatter
- The violent white-supremacist-patriarchal-heteronormative-capitalism that is pervading our country won’t be upended by a “kinder, gentler” form. It will only be defeated by courageous vision and a political revolution. Let’s go @BernieSanders!
- Thankful to my beloved community for keeping me safe...even in the face of police with assault rifles.So today a leader of the Black Lives Matter movement in LA, @DocMellyMel, got swatted. Meaning someone called the cops saying a kidnapping was underway at her home, and the cops showed up like this.
00:00 - It’s not because she only had 107 days. It’s because she’s pro-genocide.
- Anyone who claims to be worth $10 billion, have made nearly $500 million in a year and have paid only $750 in federal income taxes IS A THIEF. He benefits from the nation’s public resources without paying his fair share. This is not a victimless crime. We are all victims.
- I get wanting the first Black woman president. Are we going to ask about her policy platform though?
- Watching police attack #GeorgeFloyd protestors in downtown LA and news take a completely pro-police position. Many news outlets are simply police propaganda.
