Useful research! Helps provide the larger context for what I found to be true experiencing these conversations from activist side and in a few policy forums with BWC stakeholders.

THREAD. I didn't fully know what to expect when I started digging into over a decade of records, statements, financial data, and other information about police body cameras. I suspected it to be troubling, but what I found shocked even me.

i mean could there be any deeper truths? we need them

It’s genuinely refreshing to see a huge celebrity uplifting the work of abortion funds—local ones at that

"For the North American GUTS world tour, Olivia will partner with local chapters of the National Network of Abortion Funds [@AbortionFunds]"

Today, due to Mayor’s latest draconian budget cuts - schools are forced to cut $1B midyear & thousands 3K & pre-k spots are gone.

Libraries end Sunday hours next month. Parks, CUNY, housing - all cut.

Revenue is up, reserves are steady, & Mayor keeps making deeply harmful cuts.

Organizers say they 1049 #NY10 constituents signed a letter demanding Rep. Dan Goldman apologize for his vote “censuring and humiliating”Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

But his Manhattan office wouldn’t let them in for the delivery photo op, per their video.

The Imperial Typewriters dispute in Leicester saw over 500 workers, largely from South Asia, go on strike in 1974.

Our records provide an insight into why workers went on strike and their experiences.

I really appreciated how Sinéad O’Connor described her relationship to Islam, resonates with my own experience as well. I’m happy for her journey, may she continue it in peace.

[Kazembe Balagun @Bronxbanlieue]

She never took the easy road and respected our intellects as listeners to let us join her for the ride. RIP to a real one, Sinead O’ Connor.

Sorry but current levels of north amerikkkan consumption just aren't sustainable. The 3rd & 4th worlds can't continue to bear the cost of every yt family having a copy of Braiding Sweetgrass, Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults, & Gathering Moss in their home. This has to end.

The best kind of crossover episode when @paffsticks connects to my experimental music world showing love to Dither (including my roommate/life partner @BRRRRRMM). the place to go to find live magic.

@thehighsign Good resource for shorter runs and independent/experimental performance. Run by a group of incredible theater makers~

Honestly if congestion pricing doesn’t lower the price of Express buses and/or increase the amount of transportation options in the outer boroughs than it’s all in vain at this point.

[🌊 robin margolis🌻ze/zir🌸 @poeticdoxa]

@Bronxbanlieue A frustrating amount of transit activists act as if it’s just about punishing car owners, as if no working families or disempowered workers on the clock are driving. Surprising lack of intersectional analysis in their work, so they end up complicit in existing oppressive systems

Tonight I leave with a rendition of Curtis Mayfield’s “This is My Country” as conducted by William Parker and Leena Conquest, led by a choir of children from the Paris banduiles. As it should be as it will be: https://t.co/NsQB8t2flR

This is a union-busting tactic. Multiple sources cited w knowledge of it.

WGA (& SAG?) this year, IATSE next year. They want 2break us.

Lets fly folks 2 Atlanta & stop all productions everywhere in US and Canada. Call on international allies 2 shut productions down there too.
