Happy birthday to your beloved mother🎊I hope that she will be looking down on your efforts to liberate #ADOS who were economically unable to travel in mass in 1976. #ADOS still remain a #BottomCaste in America.
On January 31, 1966, about 70 African American sharecroppers, tenant farmers, and seasonal workers occupied the empty barracks of the Greenville Air Force Base to protest their desperate economic plight in the MS Delta. They carried blankets, stoves, coal, mops, brooms, and water
“Their demands were simple: land, food, jobs, shelter, and the basic necessities of life. Their wages, averaging $3 for a 12-hour day, made their life unlivable. They lived in shacks, and many were in debt to plantation owners for those shacks.” This was #ADOSLife✊🏾in 1966.
Every now and then I delete a tweet, it is usually a result of research or new information. Earlier today I re-tweeted Dr. Alexander Hamilton and his assessment of Joyette Holmes, Cobb County DA - these are my findings #ADOS IN Georgia.

Joyette Holmes was not the prosecutor of of the Raquel Nelson case. Cobb County Solicitor General Barry Morgan was the prosecutor. Nelson's story is a tragedy - and the law needs to be re-written. abcnews.go.com/US/mother-boy-…
The judge ensured the process worked fairly - despite the deficiency in the law. State Court Judge Katherine Tanksley instead sentenced Nelson to probation, but offered her a deal. Nelson could undergo a new trial, and if she was acquitted, her record would be cleared.
Good early morning family.
With this Tweet-thread, I want to share something that my pastor @KWCosby calls "Points to Ponder," key things to remember as we engage people and personalities on this platform. #ADOS (1/)

Our effort for a righteous justice claim battles much resistance & many enemies. Some of it is out of ignorance & a lack of knowledge. Some of it might well be having an interest in keeping ADOS a bottom caste in this country. #ADOSPolitics (2/)
As we deal with content consumers who may have a stake in what we are arguing for, let's dispose ourselves of the goal of direct persuasion as our goal. We have to resist the impulse to change the beliefs of people with made-up minds. #ADOSPolitics (3/)
As we continue to engage in #ADOS justice work, we've been catching criticisms from cynics, some of them vehement, who mock us for always talking about data. "Data, data, blah, blah..."
There's a critical context argument that gets missed here. (1/)

It's critical that an ADOS Agile Activist have knowledge of what the numbers translate to (in understanding #ADOSLife), BUT YOU ALSO NEED THE NUMBERS.
Why do I bring this up? It falls back to some of the arguments going on in our world. (2/)

Many a business has failed due to very savvy & otherwise smart people making poor decisions & reactions to changes & data because they believed in feel & relationships over measurables. #ADOS (3/)
@TheBlackCaucus Pelosi's Puppets. Mamma got big bucks...your constituents don't. #TheUnconsciousofCongress #ADOS
