Rust Belt Revolution

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

There is an vast body of literature, research, and analysis that exists on the topic of abolition. People, specifically Black feminists, have been rigorously engaging with the idea for decades. Just because it's an idea you're not familiar with doesn't mean it's worth dismissing.

Guy on his way home from work gets stuck in traffic because of protest march in Richmond Heights near St. Louis. He’s loving it.

.@chicagosmayor, PLEASE call for @Chicago_Police to DISPERSE the group of white men wielding bats+lead pipes on the corner of 31st and Princeton in Bridgeport. In a neighborhood known for overt racism that has shaken this city for generations, their presence is clear instigation.

@tape <3 Furiously scanning for info and grateful I have this twitter fam of stellar activists and communicators and facilitators.

[Edward-Isaac Dovere @IsaacDovere]

tonight in America: @nbcwashington is reporting that a DC police officer stopped by a polling site after 7 PM today to tell people waiting in a long line there they were in violation of the curfew by staying to vote

[kiramke @kiramke]

@WUWMradio Ok, that's a little better, so it's not a 4-hour line. Thanks!

[kiramke @kiramke]

Saw her in line at 1:45PM. It's 5:30 now.

[WUWM 89.7 FM @WUWMradio]

"Thank you for risking your life to vote." That's written on a sign worn by a woman waiting in line to vote at Riverside High School on Milwaukee's east side. #WisconsinElection #WisconsinPrimary #coronavirus

@superbranch SAME. Slightly different wording tho.

[kiramke @kiramke]

Ditto those emailed ballots.

[kiramke @kiramke]

Reminder that we had to sue in Federal court just a few years ago because they tried to end early voting, too. And the same people who said early voting was evil now asking why more of us didn't do it.

[kiramke @kiramke]

@merkusa <3 Whether or not the rest of the country see it, there are amazing people in this community who continue to work to support each other. We've got to stick together.

[kiramke @kiramke]

My instinct is to offer to help people but fuck if I can think of a single thing that would help at this point.

[kiramke @kiramke]

@tape Super duper glad you are ok. :)

[kiramke @kiramke]

Still relevant.

[kiramke @kiramke]

2011 redux sucks. I feel like doing nat'l workshops on how not to become WI.

[kiramke @kiramke]

@tape The lurking is a new reaction, not a lifestyle, promise. I just tried only to tweet positive things and ended up being quiet for 3 years.

[kiramke @kiramke]

@tape Hi! I mean, personally fine, coping. Turned in my ballot. Live in a dumpster fire. Writing replies to trolls and then deleting them and lurking again. How are you?

[kiramke @kiramke]

@tape Thanks! Miss you guys. May have to start lurking or something.
