You think you found somebody and then they anti-Black. You think you found somebody and then they a misogynist. You think you found somebody and then they transphobic. You think you found somebody and then they fatphobic. You think you found somebody and then they serophobic.
People sometimes ask me: “I’m just a nurse, just a teacher, just a (fill in the blank), how can I practice abolition?”This is how.
Everyday, people have encounters with the police, consider your values of abolition when determining how you will handle them.

🧵This thread is about who I met on January 21st, 2020, while moonlighting as an Uber driver. Jefferson City is a sleepy town on Tuesday nights but I signed into my driving app, knowing that I could always count on a few legislators needing a ride home from the bar. #moleg
This is so weak. Valentine has no clear policy platforms, and based on her public interviews is a right-wing champ masquerading as a centrist Dem. Her pro-cop stance on public safety ⬇️ is completely at odds with the transformative approach Mayor Jones claims to support.
At her core I believe that Trudy gives a damn about people and that’s something that can’t be taught.
I’m sorry if I hurt any of my friends in the LGBT+ community. You know my heart and I wouldn’t intentionally do anything to hurt you. 4/x
slimy and disappointing. Valentine also said on that interview that critical race theory in schools is tearing the country apart. Why are you willing to debate the humanity of trans children? The queer community of STL fought hard for your election. This is a slap in the face.
After speaking with someone who I respect immensely, I am clarifying my endorsement of @buschvalentine.
I don’t condone the words she used about the LGBT+ community, however, I think this is a learning experience for all of us. Trudy and I aren’t exactly at the same place 1/x 🧵
