@EUHomeAffairs @Interieur_Gouv @BMI_Bund @ministerieJenV @ukhomeoffice #Moria has burned down- This humanitarian catastrophe calls for urgent action. I’m a grad student making $160 a week teaching English. If I can donate $, what about you? #RefugeesWelcome #LeaveNoOneBehind

@Delta Hey lovely person reading this! Currently living in Germany, want to fly to Minnesota end of Sept-Oct to see parents, but nervous about Covid. If I purchase + plans change, can I change the dates to Dec free of charge? Thanks! Xx

@wmarybeard Have they read your book Women and Power? I mean... the reviews are pretty much confirming literally everything you wrote about the ways women get attacked.... 🙄

[Anna Ackerman @AnnaRuth1920]

I mean... Yes.

@dianecope1958 I SEE YOU DIANE!!! You matter and are important - And you look amazing, so I doubt you’ll be going anywhere soon. ♥️

@sophiechiaka @mynameissamiha Thank you! ♥️

@Ferbbatmikey101 @AshleyH47887208 @Logiso12 @highnxck @ACLUMN It would be so interesting to see how the officers are trained- How much of conflict resolution is focused on non-violent management, racial awareness and mental health. 🤔 I’m not sure in the statistical sense.

@sophiechiaka @mynameissamiha He got sentenced to 12.5 years, but appealed it. He is currently under house arrest and his next court date is at the end of July, and hopefully he’ll have to serve his time!

@AshleyH47887208 @Ferbbatmikey101 @Logiso12 @highnxck @ACLUMN I’m not saying a total disbandment of people who are equipped to handle violent situations, but the 1st responder should be trained in mental health, the 2nd in conflict management, the 3rd in how to disarm someone, the last in gun response...

Where’s it going...? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

BREAKING: Steven Mnuchin is now flat-out REFUSING to disclose the businesses receiving $500,000,000,000 in bailout funds, claiming the info is "confidential"

4.5 MILLION businesses received government funds. Zero transparency.

Unconscionable, jaw-dropping corruption.

[Anna Ackerman @AnnaRuth1920]

@AshleyH47887208 @Logiso12 @highnxck @ACLUMN Yes, but they’ve been specifically trained in conflict management and racial differentiation. I’m also thinking about social workers, conflict management specialists etc. for other community responders. Those examples were simply in response to the violent crimes mentioned above.

[Anna Ackerman @AnnaRuth1920]

@Miwhitfield @Logiso12 @highnxck @ACLUMN Well, if this counts, I lived in Catania, Italy- heart of the mafia, where I was told by my local manager not to go outside alone. I’m saying it’s better to take people from those communities- Recognizable leaders- And train them. Not armed officers.

[Anna Ackerman @AnnaRuth1920]

@Logiso12 @highnxck @ACLUMN Homocide detectives, specialized drug detectives. People can be trained to be specialists, and that’s what we need- Not more people with guns. 🙌🏼

[Anna Ackerman @AnnaRuth1920]

@benhiggi Absolutely... I think Jesus did that. The only frightening thing is that he was killed for it, and I don’t think many Christians have that same kind of bravery (myself included!)

legitimately stunned that CNN didn’t cut Cornel West’s mic. Maybe someone in the control room was just as enraptured as I am

If you are more bothered by how people react to injustice than you are by the injustice, you are invested in oppression.

@JustinJuntunen Sorry! My account was hacked! Hope you’re well.

@Jason_Tartick I hope people will realize the deep inequalities that still exist in the States and begin to act with more compassion...
