The assault on Black folks, particularly Black Women, continues in the Bay Area. What kind of duplicity and mendacity is at work with @SFBART that you would remove @lateefahsimon only after approving her relocation? https://t.co/izIq5MJdjj
This breaks my heart and blows my mind. Howard Thurman wrote we often mistake caution for fear and vice versa. Millions have taken the vaccine. Saying yes to the vaccine now means you’ve been responsibly cautious. https://t.co/Nb7Nbf2XlW

False equivalencies being made between BLM & MAGA insurrection is as wicked as Trump’s lies re election fraud. If you can’t distinguish between the black freedom struggle & white supremacist sedition, you lack the discernment & seriousness to lead in this moment #MAGAIsCancelled
One day, American taxpayers are gonna wake up and realize the federal budget is OUR money not the Senate’s slush fund for corporate bailouts. Our taxes should provide basic needs & a safety net for the vulnerable not the uber wealthy #2000StimulusChecks#COVID19#ShameOnSenate

@ABC11_WTVD anyone’s lack of knowledge about faith based justice work in their own city directly speaks to how little they are invested in justice beyond this highly publicized moment.
@ABC11_WTVD to racist, patriarchal, and homophobic systems. The movement has never stopped for many conscious Black Clergy and justice work has and is being done by clergy, faith leaders and congregations in Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill and throughout the nation...
@ABC11_WTVD If you can’t follow the leadership of Black women and men who have made it their life’s work to fight injustice, then please remain in your comfortable church space that doesn’t consider intersectionality, political impact, or your own continued contribution...
@ABC11_WTVD the article published on “multiethnic” unity centering a white SBC CHURCH is beyond offensive. Black church leaders and the Black churches REMAIN an active part of anti racism and justice work. BLM is lead by Black women and it is collaborative...
