ADOS state of mind.
A coward dies a thousand deaths
A soldier dies but once.

@Breezy_Joy_101 @slausongirlnews @jarriusadams @IamTabithaBrown The way Mrs. Brown reacted is very telling and unacceptable. It was completely uncalled for and caught me by surprise that she racted in that way.

They just can’t wrap their heads around the fact that we don’t own anything! When you patronize a “Black owned” business, simply ask yourself where they’re purchasing their products from? I guarantee you that the companies producing the products sold in ALL businesses are owned by someone other than a Black American! This tells you all you need to know about our wealth position in the richest country in the world built on the backs of our ancestors!🥲

Why are some people like this?

Way to spectacularly miss the point.

These brave women were more than qualified for more specialized tasks, but no one in power would give them the assignments or the respect they deserved.

Instead, the 6888 battalion was tasked with sorting and delivering more than 17 MILLION pieces of backlogged mail in a 6 month period. Everyone who tried before them had failed.

They worked around the clock in dimly lit rat-infested warehouses and airplane hangars with blacked out windows under the constant threat of air raids. They endured attempted attacks from a German U Boat and astounding disrespect and bigotry from those who owed them gratitude.

Three of the batallion’s members were killed in the line of duty, and the military refused to even honor their sacrifice by paying for their burial.

Many of these women were highly skilled medical technicians who could have easily been assigned to more esteemed duties if they didn’t have to fight the additional war of racial and sexual prejudice.

But they took a job no one else wanted (and one that everyone prior to them had failed), and they did it with excellence, boosting the morale of the troops and bringing peace and comfort to those back home.

If you can’t respect their efforts, the least you can do is shut up. I promise their contributions to the world are more meaningful than sitting around on X throwing stones.

It’s time to fund a *REAL* reparations bill. Donate what you can.

This is what happens when we organize for change. God bless our city. Thank you for allowing me to serve.

Demand that other Black organizations take a position on H1B visas.

Don’t let them sit this out.

[Yvette Carnell 🇺🇸 @BreakingBrown]

I do love how this H1B debate hinges not just on citizenship, but multigenerational citizenship, contribution & heritage…

Also WWII 👇🏽

“A bill introduced by California Assembly member Isaac Bryan aims to give descendants of slaves priority for admission to the University of California and California State University”

I like this direction ⁦@ib2_real⁩ https://t.co/OpXL2bJlZT

These people can no longer be allowed to have any say so or influence in Black American politics.

Aisha Muhammad and Patrick Rogers presented "The Localization of a Black Agenda" at Howard University, where students showed great interest in learning more about ADOS, reparations, and joining the organization! #ADOS #ADOSAF #BlackAmericans #HBCUs

I could do a whole show about how racism in Boston is different from racism in the South.

It’s so overt in Boston, whereas in Georgia they know us. We were their maids and sharecroppers. They love us *IN OUR PLACE* —beneath them.

No love in Boston. It’s jarring.

Today in ADOS History:

Lineage-based reparations are owed to the descendants of enslaved Black Americans for not just slavery, but for the policies that targeted Black Americans after emancipation, too.

[Yvette Carnell 🇺🇸 @BreakingBrown]

Your leadership is appreciated @DrLFSpeller !

[Yvette Carnell 🇺🇸 @BreakingBrown]

None of these politicians are your family.

Maxine Waters is not your auntie.

Donald Trump is not your uncle.

Same goes for celebrities—Shannon Sharpe is not “unc”. He’s a retired football player turned podcaster who doesn’t know you from Adam.

Stop behaving as children.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Reparations is a working class issue, a progressive issue, and something that anyone who claims to support justice *should* support.

Reparations are not a new idea, our country has paid them to other groups before.

Black Americans are owed a debt.

[Simeon 🇺🇸 @FTrilliams]

All of the presidential candidates were given the opportunity to come address Black voters at the ADOS Reparations Summit.

Only one candidate showed up for us. @CornelWest is the real deal!
