๐จVideo has just been released of deputies in Baton Rouge shooting and killing #DeaughnWillis through the door of his home in a case of mistaken identity. Read the details about this story. Police have been trying to cover this up for 2 months. A thread. https://t.co/XjZ6EiU0st

If these are immigrant struggles in America, let's swap them 4 Black American Descendants of Chattel Slavery struggles & see who wins the oppression olympics.

I simply don't think feminists understand the horrifying racial violence that is legitmized when they lump Black men and White men together in institutional analyses.
The U.S. is in talks to offer immigrant families separated at the border in 2018 about $450,000 a person in compensation, people familiar with the matter say https://t.co/mmY60OIfHy

Don't tell me #Reparations for #ADOS needs to be simply higher ed, loans, college debt forgiveness, house down payment assistance when 80 million folks got an extra $50K on speed dial.
