When I was a kid there was a secret door in my room, an escape from a sadistic capriciously violent father. Sunshine, friends , rainbows and lollipops. I’m a gray haired old man now. Twitter is my secret door. Thank you, all of you, for being on the other side of that door. 💙 B.
NEVER FORGET Kalief Browder. A young black man who sat on Rikers Island for 3 YEARS without trial for a backpack he DIDN’T steal. He committed suicide after spending two yrs in solitary confinement. 730 days alone.
Oakland Teachers are on strike today!

Join the strike line if u can!

“What other state has hurricanes like Florida! Must be Rick Scott’s fault!”
Combat willful ignorance by making a donation to help those impacted by this disaster. @NVCF is working to help its neighbors recover from #CampFire:

@doublebville@eBay Why? Thats asinine. President had nothing to do do with the fires. Look to California's government for the answer. Oh, but its not Brown's fault you say! What other state in the union has devistating fires like california. Firenados? wake up from your koolaid drinking spell.
I recommend taking the rage, bottling it up, and then making a donation to @NVCF, an organization helping its neighbors recover from the #CampFire devastation.
I haven’t heard from one California who wants this piece of shit lying president to visit us. He faulted California for his own mismanagement, threatened to cut off fed funds, and continues to care less about our state. Stay the hell@out of here. Nobody wants you here
