#AbolishThePolice and abolish all other violent institutions of white supremacy and oppression

"At steps along the way, key decision makers at Chapel Hill chose compromise over insistence and resolution over resistance. In the end, they had nothing to show for it."

Adam Toledo was 13 years old and had his hands in the air and police killed him.

The prosecution said that he had a gun in his hand. He did not.

How many more Black and brown babies have to die before you realize that the policing system is designed to kill us with impunity?

[molly conger @socialistdogmom]

can you imagine if literally any other city department was like, yeah we spend about 1/3 of the day doing stuff no one asked for that isn't really our job & doesn't help anyone & we're committing a significant portion of the murders around here but uhhh we're gonna need raises ok

[molly conger @socialistdogmom]

8% of murders of men in the US are taxpayer funded. policing is a public health crisis.

naysayers love to say we can't defund the police because then who will catch murderers but they conveniently forget that police commit 1/3 of all murders in which the perpetrator is a stranger to the victim.

[molly conger @socialistdogmom]

you can’t reform that. you can re-train that. you can’t take enough cultural sensitivity classes to fix that. you can’t hire consultants or buy new equipment or recruit from different neighborhoods to wash out the infection at the heart of the institution that exists to kill.

[molly conger @socialistdogmom]

adam toledo was a little boy. that pig ran down and murdered a little boy, scared, empty-handed, with his hands up. anyone who watches that snuff film of a body cam video & sees anything but the murder of a child is too far gone to be saved.

Amazon claims to support Black Lives Matter. But when the majority Black workforce at Amazon’s Alabama warehouse began to organize for better working conditions, the company met them with surveillance and police.

[Stacy Elliott @StacyElliott901]

Solidarity with the workers in Bessemer, Alabama! They've been fighting the good fight for over a year against the relentless union-busting campaigns and inhumane working conditions of the world's largest pandemic profiteers. #UnionYes #BAmazon #WorkersCreateAllWealth

[BAmazonUnion @BAmazonUnion]

Good morning to everyone in Bessemer, Alabama who is ready to make history!

Today is the cut-off for mail ballots to be received by the NLRB for the count 💪🔥 #UnionYes

[Stuart Appelbaum @sappelbaum]

Jennifer Bates and Darryl Richardson are the two Amazon workers who first proposed fighting for a union at their Bessemer warehouse. Solidarity!

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

United we bargain.
Divided we beg.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

This is Darryl Richardson. He's the Amazon worker who started the historic union drive in Alabama by reaching out to @RWDSU.

Listen to what he & his coworkers are asking for. Then think about the fact that Amazon is doing everything in its power to stop them.

[RWDSU @RWDSU]

There are apparently no limits to what Amazon will do to try to keep workers from coming together in union. They know we're stronger together. #UnionBustingIsDisgusting #BAmazonUnion

[RWDSU @RWDSU]

Good morning to everyone except companies who try to intimidate workers out of exercising their right to join a union.

[BAmazonUnion @BAmazonUnion]

This is a fascinating interview about the role coloniality plays in supposedly objective science, and is absolutely a “Must Listen” for anyone in social work research/academia who cares about the important work of decolonizing social work.
