Chaos

[George M Johnson Garçon @IamGMJohnson]

A transgender bar was shot up and got NO COVERAGE. A black trans woman was injured and got NO COVERAGE.

If Black Lives Matter, so do black trans lives. We gotta do better and be more vocal. https://t.co/LPg3a7zDXG

Black women are the largest share of this country's public sector workers and they earn 30% more as union members. We cannot let the #SCOTUS balloon wage gaps for communities of color b/c one white man is comfortable enough with his salary to not need unions. I'm sorry--no. https://t.co/gesXqh1Yp2

A gay Jewish student at Penn was stabbed to death in January by a member of the Neo-Nazi terrorist group Atomwaffen. Per @ProPublica, its members killed at least four more people. I imagine we’ll never hear this group mentioned by this @POTUS as a threat. https://t.co/ZX0S7rpzlp

Every single time I speak up, speak out, compose too many posts or tweets or repeat my messages outloud online I get the well meaning or jerks outright that say ARE YOU OKAY YOU ARE POSTING A LOT.... *sips tea to wait*

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

You have to effectively throw a wrench in the system and bring it to a standstill until the powers-that-be are forced to capitulate. They otherwise have zero incentive to care about anything you have to say. They will take the lobbyist $ & keep it rolling 11/11

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

I just hope everybody who believes radical change is needed in this country understands the level of commitment & time it will require for any people's movement to challenge an entrenched power structure that has all the money & weaponry at its disposal 9/

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

So I just think it's important to understand that changing hearts and minds is an important part of how you shift power, but at the end of the day, nothing changes until there is a fundamental shift in power & that most often requires significant, sustained disruption 4/4

AND STOP STIGMATIZING THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE WITH #mentalhealth ISSUES IN TALKS OF #GunLaws #GunControl BECAUSE PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE SHOT THAN A SHOOTER #SchoolShootings #Parkland

[AmandaRosa @RosaIXCHEL0]

There are some among us that see & hear you & echo words in the hope of more people seeing & hearing your fight for justice too

[AmandaRosa @RosaIXCHEL0]

I speak for myself & in hopes that others hearing that are othered & odd & "different" just for existing know that they aren't alone

[AmandaRosa @RosaIXCHEL0]

But it's in the darkest nights that I have seen lightening storms like no other & felt as tho the stars were so bright that they could be close enough to be reached & touched if I just reached out my hand

[AmandaRosa @RosaIXCHEL0]

Feels like speaking into the void of chaos reaches no one that could change anything meaningful I'm this world that is run by classist racist bung hole jerk faces

[AmandaRosa @RosaIXCHEL0]

And part 5 to who ever is listening: this goes much deeper than #JustAnotherSchoolSchooting meant to polarize & divide people saying yes guns or no guns
