🔥We are about to see a #Trumpbloodbath. @realDonaldTrump is inciting a Civil War‼️ Get indoors and off the streets‼️ #AmericaOrTrump #TrumpIncitesViolence #AtlantaProtest #DCProtests abcnews.go.com/Politics/natio…
🔥Trump: "As we speak, I’m dispatching THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS of HEAVILY ARMED soldiers, military personnel, and law enforcement officers to stop rioting, looting, vandalism, assaults, and the wanton destruction of property. We will end it now." 🔥#TrumpBloodbath #AmericaOrTrump
🔥Here it is.. @realDonaldTrump’s civil war begins tonight. Our healthcare workers said that #Coronavirus felt like a war zone. It’s about to get exponentially worse. 👇
Last night, amid protest happening in Atlanta, a student texted to ask what I thought about what was happening in our city. She asked if I thought this event would appear in textbooks & how teachers would approach the topic in class. This was my response. #AtlantaProtest 1/10
“Textbooks are written by the dominant culture, for the dominant culture. Social movements that give voice to power and expose injustice and inequity remain excluded from the text.” #AtlantaProtest 2/10
“When one reads about social change w/in a textbook, it’s often a brief mention that comes from the perspective of a member from the dominant culture. Therefore, I don’t expect this moment of history to appear in the textbooks of future students.” #AtlantaProtest 3/10
The uprising you see in Atlanta is also largely economic.
You got middle class, comfortable Black people bragging about "Black Mecca" while other Black people are driving for UBER and working at Peremiter Mall to make ends meet.

Most people claiming love for Atlanta are transplants. Who love seeing all the Blackness. But never stop to notice that locals are pushed into low wage jobs while "Black excellence" moves into the gentrified areas of the city.

I got roots here. And I can't even live in the city limits because the same neighborhoods my grandma, mom, and great aunts lived in are now overrun with middle class Black and white millennials who can afford to buy a house or pay 1600 dollars for a 1 bedroom apartment.
There’s something to be said about strategy in #Atlanta. Buckhead is not the most welcoming place sometimes; many business owners are racist, && welp.
I cannot wait to read about last night in a book. I hope some of you who were there are journaling! Just don’t post online.

Speaking of— y’all need to start going low tech before these protests. Leave your cell phones at HOME! Geo location tagging, social media, etc. leave digital footprints.
Use a flip phone— they sell them at Walmart. I’m dead serious too. Ask me how I know?

I have not participated in a boots on the ground protest since @YesAurielle was kidnapped by Atlanta police.
That, plus folks from #ItsBiggerThanU / Young #Atlanta activist disappearing along w/ folks in #Ferguson, sent me behind the scenes to use other skills.

Keisha Bottoms can cry on TV all she wants, but don't let her fool you.
#AhmaudArbery was murdered in Georgia.
#AnthonyHill was murdered in Georgia.
And rich, old guard Black politicians like her are soft on racism so they can keep white donors happy.

Atlanta is one of the most economically divided cities in the NATION. Keisha Bottoms lets developers gentrify the city and push out our homeless and poor population.
She put a moratorium on new construction on the Westside ONLY after being pushed and criticized.

Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl, dass der nächste #RegimeChangeWar in #Minneapolis beginnen soll. Das Motto „Trump must go“ ist jetzt schon wichtiger als das Opfer, und der Dofus ist so blöd und tappt in die Falle.

Se o assassinato de #GeorgeFloyd lembrou o de #EricGarner, a resposta da população lembra a resposta à absolvição dos policiais que espancaram #RodneyKing em 1992, em Los Angeles. Mineápolis em convulsão social #minneapolisriots
Delegacia de polícia em Mineápolis...
