Tacoma #BlackLivesMatter protests haven’t looked like they do in Seattle and Portland.
I discussed why with @keith_blocker and Jamika Scott of the @tacoma_action.
More importantly, we talked about the anger and anguish that’s fueling calls for change. https://t.co/JgdWTre8Mo
We're seeking #Tacoma residents willing to serve as Community Reps on the newly formed Independent Investigation Team (IIT) on behalf of @TacomaPD. IIT was formed in response to I-940 & will conduct investigations of police deadly force incidents. https://t.co/GOKLLTxCgF
When black people say we were Kings and Queens, the statement is a reminder that our (black people/African indigenous people) history did not start with slavery.

President Obama got flack for inviting the rapper Common to the White House. Meanwhile # 45’s campaign team is a bunch of outlaws. What are the two words we can use to explain this???
Trump’s campaign manager is a felon.
His deputy campaign manager is a felon.
His national security advisor is a felon.
His foreign policy advisor is a felon.
His personal lawyer is a felon.
His long time advisor is a felon.
It’s not a campaign, it’s a criminal enterprise.
I want to point out AGAIN that just 9 days ago, @RandPaul opposed an anti-lynching bill on the Senate Floor. The SAME bill unanimously passed initially. The House named it after Emmett Till and sent back. NOW Rand says the language is too broad.
#BlackLivesMatter
We are in the 21st Century, using 18 and 19th Century police tactics. While we seek justice and accountability for the acts of individual officers, we have to address the policies that give them the authority to unnecessarily cause harm and take lives with out consequences.
This week's Crossing Division podcast: Deputy Mayor Keith Blocker and Black Lives Matter. The tactics that police are using are the same tactics used to capture runaway slaves. This is a good and deep discussion.

Thank you to the vast majority of Washingtonians who are responding to COVID-19 responsibly.
A reminder:
➡️ Stay home unless absolutely necessary
➡️ Keep 6 feet away from everyone at all times
➡️ Wash your hands often
➡️ Call your loved ones and tell them to do the same
Time to make Electoral College a vestige of the past. It’s undemocratic, forces candidates to ignore majority of the voters and campaign in a small number of states. The presidency is our one national office and should be decided - directly - by the voters https://t.co/OyRbXOiBpz
Given the fact that the COT is currently in litigation regarding Click!. My stance is and will remain that however the COT moves forward, must be dictated by 2 things, are our actions legal and can the COT afford it. What do your perceive my stance to be?
