These errors included mishandling a key piece of evidence that could have exonerated Marcellus. In addition to acknowledging that his office was responsible for mishandling the murder weapon, Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell (@bell4mo) also conceded error resulting from... (2/6)

@YNB This question brings me clarity: “If I was the source of drama here, there was peace before, right?”

It’s simple. It’s logical. People (personally and professionally) would rather lay blame than do the work of figuring out why chaos abounds no matter who steps in their circle.

BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, local GOP leaders in Pennsylvania are banding together to support Kamala Harris. Donald Trump is a threat to democracy and even Republicans acknowledge it. Retweet so all Americans see this.

AIPAC should be registered as agent representing foreign principal engaged in political activity. Don’t bother explaining why they’re not. Instead explain why the interests of the most vulnerable are disregarded by funky single issue predatory formations like AIPAC.

[#StopCopCity @ChuckModi1]

Most of these ppl cheering on prospect of Cori Bush losing to AIPAC-bot Wesley Bell are really cheering political bribery, vote-rigging and the influence of foreign entities to control U.S. elections, and of course—more U.S. funded genocide.

A must-watch sermon from Texas Congressman @jamestalarico.

There is nothing that will ever convince me that starving millions of people, killing children, blowing up hospitals and schools and torture are necessary to secure “peace and safety” of any one group. No one can convince me that staying quiet is how we advance democracy. #WokeAF

My freshman year of college, after never having earned less than a B my entire life, I nearly flunked out, earning 3 Fs, a B and C. I was depressed and stopped going to class. I was Black and working class at an elite white school. I missed home. I missed family. I was going through something that had nothing to do with my academic abilities, work ethic or ambition. Human beings struggle. This rugged individualism culture, this scarcity mentality, this willingness to write off struggling people as unworthy is toxic and hurts all of us. If an empathetic educator, Dean Flint-Hamilton, hadn’t given me a shot to redeem myself, my life would have been very different. She took a chance on me because she saw me as a whole human being. I was determined not to betray her trust in me. We can do better, y’all, with our young people — with all people. We truly can.

Delay until death has always been the strategy.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Don’t ever talk to me about how Black people aren’t owed reparations because no one alive has suffered what the reparations are for. These survivors for more than a century have stubbornly refused to die, only to be denied justice again and again. That is despite the fact that the state of Oklahoma’s own task force recommended reparations. When it comes to descendants of slavery, this country has always engaged in the tactic of delay until death. That is why reparations MUST include descendants. What is the statute of limitations on crimes against humanity?

Michael Brown should be celebrating his 28th birthday today.

We will continue to say his name and fight for justice and accountability.

Sending love to his family and friends. 🖤

“What does #Palestine have to do with us,” some ask.

It’s all connected. We are African people. We stand against oppression everywhere.

Proud of @samoryba & @morehouse colleagues & students for placing Congo’s plight alongside Palestine, #StopCopCity & everything else today.

Shemar Moore on gay fans:

“I have fans that are gay men that come up to me, and they like me as an entertainer. They want to give me a hug or take pictures with me, am I supposed to not put my arm around them or stand next to them, and if the man next to me in the picture is gay, that makes me gay? That's just simpleminded ignorance, and I don't play that.”

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Just an FYI for people referencing the Civil Rights Movement as the ideal and legal means of protesting, students sitting in at lunch counters, in movie theaters, in bus terminals and marching in public parks were violating laws and ordinances and agents of the state were also called out to violently suppress these protests.
