If @chicagosmayor doesn't like being called a cop maybe she should stop being a cop. It takes a lot of audacity to get mad over memes after unleashing police brutality on thousands of Black people.

I still underline things in books that I read. Not to refer to later and not because I'm planning to talk to someone else about it. Just to let the words sizzle 🔥

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

After I forced myself into a cell w/ women&began speaking to them, one of them described their treatment at the hands of officers as “psychological warfare” - waking them at odd hours for no reason, calling them wh*res, etc.

Tell me what about that is due to a “lack of funding?”

@sprklesth3human Native Foods has pretty satisfying vegan chicken wings/sticks that are my go-to when I have that kind of craving

Do Chicago a favor and save all excited posts and articles about our next mayor being Black lesbian.

You’re not helping. She loves and has worked to protect the very systems that suck resources and harm our communities. #stoplightfoot #LGBT

Lori Lightfoot turned a blind eye to police misconduct. A Chicago Tribune investigation found “a separate standard of justice” for cops involved in police shootings while Lightfoot was charged with police oversite. DON’T VOTE LORI LIGHTFOOT IN! #ChiMayor2019 #LightfootIsACop

I had time to buy either gas or coffee this morning. I chose coffee. Godspeed little car 🙏🏽
