A group of students, mostly teenagers are about to take the Freeway for #GeorgeFloyd. They are getting on the MLK 580 ramp by the Childrens Hospital in #Oakland. (Approx 4:15pm today, May 28.) They are asking for your support.
UFAD members wrongfully detained by @oaklandpoliceca while filling handwashing stations!! Officers wrongfully claimed activists were riding in a stolen car! #policeterror is a tool to attack working communities and intimidate activists.
The cops are evicting two unhoused women who have not had a place to rest their heads for years! They tossed all our belongings out of the house. @LondonBreed house us now during a global pandemic!
Quilombo in Oakland raided and evicted by police. When no one was in the space this afternoon, police rolled up, took computer equipment, and threw new padlocks on front door on behalf of property management company. Police just left the scene.

The past 11 years of inflation in case you weren't paying attention (according to Bureau of Labor Statistics): $100 in 2007 has the same buying power as $120.98 in 2018. $100 in 2018 has the same buying power as $82.66 in 2007.
@Anne_Roth @elijahwaxwing @__nero@schock@gaba@BiellaColeman@rabble @theanarcat @RonaEvenMerrill for any activists building an online platform there can be some interesting/time-consuming grey areas. But straightup racism/fascism is "easier" to deal with in a sense when it's obviously violating your principles re: creating safe space, not contributing to oppression etc.
@Anne_Roth@__nero@schock@gaba @elijahwaxwing @BiellaColeman@rabble @theanarcat @RonaEvenMerrill Locally our indymedia collective didn't really have a debate about this.. we made an implicitly antiracist/antifascist editorial policy and principles of unity in the early 2000s.
