For those who don't know, the US has been trying to transport trucks carrying uranium through Navajo territory. The trucks aren't even secure, just covered with tarp. The nation is taking action. It has been stopped for now. But who knows if that will last.
Honestly not enough people have been talking about Anthony Broadwater and how he was falsely accused of rape by Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones. A black man was wrongfully convinced of rape. By a white woman author who PROFITED from it by writing a book about it.
Cop City would be a full scale domestic urban warfare training center. It will impact the entire country. It wouldn't just in Atlanta. These centers would pop up across the country.
On Thursday APD, the FBI, GBI, and ATF executed three search warrants and made one arrest in pursuit of evidence related to an act of arson on police motorcycles.
Thursday evening, a journalist asked if organizers [condemn] the arson.

I'm putting Palestinians up there with Haitians on the list of people who can make 🔥 food in any conditions. It makes me so deeply sad, I can't even find the words. But I'm also astounded. Humans don't deserve this and yet they still find a way to keep moving

Report from within the Cal Poly Humboldt Building Occupation
A short write-up from participants in the occupation of Siemens Hall at Cal Poly Humboldt, describing what they learned and how others can employ those lessons.
Our eyes are rightfully on Palestine, but Haiti is in dire straits. They are facing another colonial occupation. An occupation also FUNDED BY THE US. The conditions in previous operations have run parallel to those in Palestine in past years. the last gave 10,000 people cholera.
My problem with y'all analysis of antiblackness and the middle east right now is that yall DON'T HAVE A MATERIAL ANALYSIS. It's just "they hate black people"
That's not enough to understand what's happening. A lot of people lack education on racial and ethnic dynamics of this.
It really pisses me off that every day on here, black men talk about how no one cares about the shit they go through but they never speak up when shit like this goes on.

Literally every time I scroll past one of his videos it shocks me. And I'm from NY 😂. You just don't hear that anymore! Like I can count on one hand...
I care because she fucking made money off of destroying this man's life. The ONLY reason this was found out was because they were going to turn her book into a movie. She was gonna make even more money. And make an entire movie about an innocent man.
And yea, it's likely that most of the people on my TL didn't know about it. And that's the problem. You don't even pay attention to what's happening to your fellow black men but drag black women for not not dedicating our lives to fixing everything that goes on with yall
I care about this case because it's fucked up. Because of the history of white women making false allegations against black men, or going along with it when white men accuse black men of raping their white women.
U Street is nuts right now! This is near Vermont St. It appears police are trying to disperse large crowds. Sirens are blaring and the chopper is circling. Road is blocked, preventing buses from getting through. One officer told us, “Kids. There’s no accountability.”
@wusa9
This man spent 16 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit while this woman went on to make millions of dollars off a lie. She even added extra lies into the book. She was gonna make even more money off the movie adaption. And she hasn't even apologized!
Oh and let me add that the ONLY reason why we know about this is because the Producer who hired a PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR to find the truth because the facts didn't make sense.

This ain't funny. I been a lifeguard for over 10 years and 1. you really shouldnt throw people in the pool. 2. Esp if they can't swim or if they dont wanna be thrown in. She could have been hurt. I am a strong swimmer and I hate being thrown in the pool.
Finally I wanna add that false accusations are rare. And that law enforcement plays a role in this because they initially pressured her to accuse him even after she expressed concern over choosing the wrong man in the lineup. It's a common tactic for police and FBI to do that.
"Sprinkle some junk science onto a faulty identification, and it’s the perfect recipe for a wrongful conviction,” Broadwater’s attorney David Hammond told the Post-Standard of Syracuse.
I wanna clean up some of the details because I was typing kinda angrily. She accused Anthony of being her rapist. When brought into do a line up, she didn't pick him! She picked one of the other black man. She said something about the expression in his eyes.

Holy shit. "Your policies are anti-Black!! You are a disgrace to all Black people in this city!" Eric Adams press conference being righteously disrupted right now.
I'm not saying she wasn't assaulted I'm saying she accused a black man and she KNEW it wasn't him! She was "pressured" into it. But still wrote a book about him and made up a bunch of lies about him (like him having a criminal record) to make him seem even worse

This is what's happening to Mumia. One of the most important voices of our time. Both literally and figuratively. A voice of gold and a pen of pure light. And while he does have some minor international recognition, he can't get the mass support or media coverage like *others* do
Okay so Linda Fairstein is a graduate of my high school, Mount Vernon High School, in Mount Vernon, NY. She has a plaque up in our school's Hall of Fame. We are currently trying to get it taken down. Here is what we want. (please RT)
They say Palestinians aren't indigenous. But Israelis needed a cookbook to teach them how to cook in the new natural environment, with the new natural produce, etc. They know nothing about the land. They destroy the land and the organisms living on it
They are literally planning to build neighborhoods to practice assaulting us, the people so many Americans are convinced are here to protect. We are watching fascism descend on the country and there's not enough people really aware of who the enemy is.
I didn't think this tweet would go viral... I'm not sure why it did. But the implication here is that we need to ORGANIZE. The government (our governments) will not act on its own.

It's so sinister that a government is willing to pay tens of millions of dollars to destroy a forest and build mock homes to live out their LARPing fantasies, when people are in need of shelter and we are experiencing a climate crisis.

I literally never said the tourists were refugees. I said any of us could become refugees. And brought up the ACTUAL ones that already exist. I was referring to the fires in Greece, which was the cause of the situation we see in the video.

Absolutely not. You bitches better not start. We have enough of the hyper feminine "I can teach you how to get a man" menaces out there. Enough. We are already fighting the negro podcast industrial complex, we don't need Cindy Lou Hoo and her band of Whoovile Deconesses too

Like!? Come on. People can be happy that Trump is on his way out and also not be in denial of actual facts. People are acting like Trump invented racism and xenophobia
They just be salivating at the idea that Black and/or queer people could be punished for not being on their side. They frame themselves as the best of a bad situation (the lesser evil ironically). "Everyone else hates you MORE!"
listen to julianna margulies go on an absolutely unhinged rant against black people for supporting palestine, claiming muslims would play soccer ball with the decapitated heads of black queer people if they could, and saying she knows better as someone who played a lesbian on tv.

Proud of the comrades for disrupting the speech of Karine Jean-Pierre today. The woman to is the mouthpiece for a genocidal government. Who spews her master's disgusting white supremacist rhetoric that justifies the impending occupation of Haiti
VERY EASY to criticize people who are figuring it out as they go, learning from a small handful of people who are trying to teach as they go.
Every generation we lose movement people because the state takes them from us by locking them up, killing them or deradicalicalizing them
How to say this nicely?
It’s very easy to criticize protestors on the ground while you’re at home watching.
Got Zionists hopping over fences and breaking into encampments. trying to pick fights ALL DAY. It’s stressful and intense and students are doing their best. Please chill.

I also wanna add that people have a very limited view of what therapy is. There are so many different & legitimate forms of therapy. If we could actually get people invested in the idea, we could dedicate more resources to provide a variety of options!
FYI, as a therapist i’m also accountable to clients. rapport is necessary before any conversations are had around most topics. i don’t *tell* people what their trauma is. they are allowed to say something isn’t working for them. it’s my job to create SAFETY for them to do so.
