Maturing as a Black voter is realizing we have been giving our vote away in exchange for spit and hot piss in the face from our politicians & we are in a fight for our futures.

@LoufactsIGB With all due respect brother, can you explain how she contributed to the dysfunction of the fba deliniation movement?

[Black Community Conversations🇺🇲 @BlackCommunit16]

@BreakingBrown @ReggieFromBOS Yes please! I need that!

If mass incarceration and mass deportation are two sides of the same evil coin, why is it only abolish ICE and shut down immigration detention centers?
What about police violence and the inhumane conditions and treatment in jails and prisons? 🤔

@BlackNBlUU199 @shareef2779 We need more institutional control in the Democratic Party. Democrats want us to vote, but we also need to lead & our grassroots organizations need to be in these rooms too

[Black Community Conversations🇺🇲 @BlackCommunit16]

@Neph412 @BreakingBrown How much did the republican koch brothers (open borders brothers) network pay you to come here with this foolishness?

"FBA supporters were never being organized for power, but cultivated as customers" ...

Its wild for anyone to not know the difference.

[Yvette Carnell 🇺🇸 @BreakingBrown]

There was never a political plan because FBA is just a marketing funnel built on recycled ADOS talking points.

Tariq Nasheed’s endgame was never reparations, but to sell deodorant, documentaries, pepper spray, and build comedy club. Y’all never noticed that there’s always another product to sell, but never a political agenda???

FBA supporters were never being organized for power, but cultivated as customers. You’re Nasheed’s personal ATM & a revenue stream.

🤷🏽‍♀️

In case you didn't know, https://t.co/qvdBdGNiKY is agenda & policy driven.
If 2 parties write & pass laws, why wouldn't you try to influence both?
Aiight then ✌🏿.

[Yvette Carnell 🇺🇸 @BreakingBrown]

A Democrat running for mayor of LA is not interchangeable with a Democrat running for city council in Mississippi, nor with a Democrat running for public service commissioner in Georgia. And the public service commissioners control whether utility companies can increase your light & gas bills. (In Georgia you should absolutely vote for the Democrats who are promising to keep those bills low rather than Republicans who are paid off by the utility companies.)

My point is that we should assess candidates based on what they promise to deliver & what resources they control.

A serious political analysis doesn't give any party unconditional loyalty. But it also doesn't give any party unconditional opposition either. Both surrender the power of political negotiation before it even begins.

Tariq Nasheed is now and has always been a grifting moron. That will never change. Your only job is to ignore him and make your own analysis of the candidates who are running for office in your district.

Did you ever watch the women on Living Single make fun of each other??? Regine is normally dressed fashionable in a traditional sense, so of course they mocked her dashiki. They would’ve mocked her if she’d walked in wearing a kimono too.

We are #ADOS. We roast each other over everything. That ugly tie dyed dashiki got what it deserved.

And “division” wasn’t pushed by the CIA or any else. The white media constantly fed us Pan Africanism. The Color Purple, Coming to America, Black Panther, Roots—where we were spoon fed the lie that Europeans captured African slaves with nets. Kwanzaa was started by an actual Fed.

All of that was used to neuter our politics and replace political action with an imaginary African homeland.
African identification was repeatedly celebrated and promoted in ADOS cultural life. We were hardly deprived of messages about diaspora unity.

If you ask me, Pan Africanism is likely a CIA funded operation. It gutted our politics & left us psychologically confused.

@BreakingBrown @PPBFree @ados_strong @JashuwahJackson Its evident that @PPBFree is lacking in knowledge of the ADOS movement and just believed what was said instead of researching for herself.. @PPBFree I hope your pride dont prevent you from being on the side of truth.

@theamericanpls @ChicagoREDP @tariqnasheed When tariq told you that an American citizen with a father that has fba lineage was not fba (Drake)... he told you that fba is not a lineage.. so that means that fba is some xenophobic hateful toxic sh't that he is the leader of.

[Alan Holmes @oh_HOLMES]

Black men, we have to stop asking for opportunities and then doing nothing when they show up. Your situation won't change until your actions do.

Under his leadership, out of 150 promised social equity dispensaries, barely a fraction opened their doors.

​ADOS justice-impacted applicants took on crippling debt while being forced into predatory front deals w/ corp conglomerates just to survive OCM’s bureaucratic red tape.

City Hall’s play is transparent: Mayor Mamdani will likely extend Linda Tigani’s term for one year under pressure, only to install Chris Alexander to take over CORE next summer.

​Make no mistake: this is an orchestrated maneuver to dismantle lineage-based reparations. 🧵👇

I knew both Glen Ford and Bruce Dixon (RIP to both) of Black Agenda Report. Both supported my work during the Obama years. Bruce later criticized ADOS as too nationalist and anti-immigrant, but he respected me enough to CALL me before publishing his critique. That’s what intellectual integrity looked like.

And both Glen and Bruce believed political people actually DID political things. They believed in organizing, building institutions, and confronting power. One of Bruce’s criticisms of ADOS was that he didn’t believe we would ever build real chapters or an organizational infrastructure. He was wrong. We did both. But even his criticism was rooted in the belief that politics demanded more than rhetoric. I hate saying how dead people would respond to anything, but both men’s essays are still available, and I suspect they would have had very little patience for FD Signifier’s milquetoast, sloppy, political commentary masquerading as radical analysis.

So watching FD Signifier bastardize their work on the Black Misleadership Class is astonishing. Glen and Bruce were serious socialist radicals whose critique of capitalism was central to their politics. To watch FD “it’s lit over here” Signifier borrow their language while emptying it of its ideological substance, and then presenting that as some profound political analysis, is an insult to their intellectual legacy.

I’m genuinely floored by it. You don’t get to appropriate the intellectual tradition of people who spent their lives challenging power while reducing politics to commentary, branding, and content creation.

Y’all don’t despise FD enough. If you want to really understand this stuff, read Adolph Reed’s books, starting with “Class Notes”. He actually created the phrase “racial brokerage politics”.

I’m a harsh critic of Booker T Washington, but you can’t criticize him selling out or ‘buying in’ without also seriously interrogating his funding of Black radical journalist T. Thomas Fortune, including secretly helping finance his newspaper, The New York Age.

Go read Glen Ford, Bruce Dixon and then the primary sources. FD Signifier is simply a hack.

[Black Community Conversations🇺🇲 @BlackCommunit16]

Excuse my language but oh boy set ADOS NY the fuck off! 😯

[ADOS AF NY @ADOSAFNEWYORK]

You ran an alternative task force bill (A5603) after the real, binding legislation was already the law of the land.

​Your own sponsor stood on the Assembly floor and voted "YES" on the state commission bill you claim to oppose.

You got lapped before you even started running.
