I am pleased to see you liking my tweet @ejthementor for that much, I thank you, however, as I hope you will fully agree that we need actions to answers as to why @MentalAbuseUK can still continue by the @InquiryCSA with many who have been on 
#TwitterSpaces for at least the past decade on @TwitterRetweets with their opinions, suggestions, veiws, offers of comfort support and the set up of #IICSA by @NSPCC @PeterWanless and @theresa_may over 7 and a half years ago chaired by ex @swforchange #AlexisJay
who in fact has caused more harm and damage to the #VictimsOfDoubleJeopardy who suffered throughout their whole lives without being heard to be denied the same compensation that any @CSAQT who have been @voicing_csa for as long as the @productssystem aka #LovellTwins👭🏾 have been
@EricWolfson @Peggynoonannyc 1/ Not sure we are at the final step yet. If we are, it will be just another interesting acceleration of the pattern of the rise and fall of a dictator (in this case wannaBe). Already he is coming apart. Yet, in the very last moments he can and will do amazing damage.
@EricWolfson @Peggynoonannyc 2/ Demonstrating once again, or maybe Over and Over, that Trump cares not a fig for the country, nor those he calls his "supporters". They are props in his self serving movie he is running "Being Donald Trump".
And when they are no longer useful.. watch what happens next.

@EricWolfson @Peggynoonannyc 3/ There is a pattern. I expect it will be played out. Albeit in its own unique way, in this unique era.
What will break the pattern is if we can, as a country, a society and even civilization, weather the storm & finally integrate and resolve the open wounds that have

Will the EU walk the talk on tackling structural racism?
As EU commissioners will discuss racism in Europe during its weekly meeting today, activists @KMTaylorBerlin & @AmiirahSH urge the EU to take real action against the phenomenon. #BlackLivesMatter

Strong #moltmann vibes in this meme!
Where was god in the lynching of #GeorgeFlyod? Moltmann would answer, that Jesus was there suffering with George Flyod, calling out "I can't breathe" and "mom, I"m scared" with him.
Jesus most likely died from asphyxiation, because crucifixion causes the victim to suffocate slowly. And Jesus called out with his last breathe, my god, my god, why have you forsaken me?

1/ Today Prince Albert held its first #BlackLivesMatter rally. Hundreds were in attendance.
Last time I was in Prince Albert, I spent the day at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary. I was reporting on life behind bars. #skpoli #canpoli

2/ The Saskatchewan Penitentiary is a federal prison, where 60% of the inmates are Indigenous. That’s twice the national average. A large number of the protesters at the #BlackLivesMatter rally in PA were Indigenous. #skpoli #canpoli
Today, the @fsinations issued a statement in support of #BlackLivesMatter, while asking for "sweeping changes in the criminal justice system". Keep in mind, the #GeorgeFloydProtests are about anti-Black racism and police violence. #canpoli #skpoli
If you will be at the protests in #JerseyCity today find me if you need to #RegisterToVote, change your address, update your registration, pedge to get 3 other people to the polls, or register for election reminder texts. Just look for my sign to come say hi! #BlackLivesMatter
Today’s anti-racism protest in Parliament Square was such a beautiful, peaceful gathering of people remembering the names of #GeorgeFlyod, #BreonnaTayor, #BellyMujinga, #markduggan and too many other who have been brutally killed by sistemic racism.
People kneeled, chanted, sung. They called on the Uk to stop exporting arms to the USA, to decolonize British curricula, to end the disproportionate use of stop and search on BAME communities
They called on ordinary people to become anti-racist. Non being racist is not enough
The DOJ\FBI is investigating #GeorgeFlyod’s death in a parallel investigation with the state. They will let the state charges go first.
They are going to work hard to bring good out of bad.
They have evidence that antifa and other extremist groups have been involved in instigating And participating in the violent activity. They are also seeing foreign actors playing both sides exacerbating The violence.
Sometimes, you just need to be updated. Good thing I got @RunMorgans

"Its crazy. A couple of hours without knowing what's happening and now I'm lost."
"All is fine. Pour yourself a HUGE drink, take some Xanax and watch Trump's campaign video. I could not get through it."
In the last 24 hours, I have received dozens of accounts of racial profiling by police from Black and Indigenous youth across Saskatchewan. #skpoli #canpoli
From what I am hearing from youth in the province, #GeorgeFlyod's story is resonating particularly through their experiences of racial profiling on the streets, police violence, and systemic racism in schools, universities, plain every day life. #skpoli
Asked @SaskatoonPolice for a response on the recent accounts of racial profiling in #yxe. They declined to give an interview, but referred to a statement they issued on Facebook on Monday. See below.

I’m here in @RedwoodCity where most downtown businesses have boarded up their storefronts as hundreds gather at the San Mateo County courthouse square for the #georgefloydprotest. Follow my thread here for live coverage of the protest. Via @mercnews
Speakers are gathered at the top of the steps of a boarded up old San Mateo County courthouse in #redwoodcity. There are hundreds of people gathered attentively listening to speakers straining their voices to speak without speakers. Via @mercnews
Look at this crowd here for the #redwoodcityprotest! No huge police presence yet but there are some stationed next to the courthouse.
Estados Unidos, fundado por blancos protestantes, deja de ser protestante y blanco. La mayoría actual pasa a ser minoría y esta transición, con los miedos y ansiedades comprensibles que produce, @realDonaldTrump en lugar de gestionarla desde el diálogo para beneficio del país 👇
ha decidido gestionarla desde el odio para su propio beneficio. Incendia los ánimos de los blancos supremacistas y alimenta sus miedos de que una mayoría de negros y marrones van a hacerles perder sus “merecidos” privilegios. 👇
Todo ello con la biblia en la mano para asegurarles que Dios se encuentra de su lado. Aunque para hacerse esa foto propagandística y chulesca con iglesia de fondo haya tenido que dispersar con gases y pelotas de goma a cientos de manifestantes pacíficos para abrirse camino. 👇
Just spoke to 1 of the more than 40 people seeking refuge inside of a strangers house on 15th & swann. He says he @DCPoliceDept chased the group w tear gas. He doesn’t know when he’ll be able to go 🏠. @wusa9 #blacklivesmatter @DMVBlackLives #MartialLaw #amplifymelanatedvoices
Here are pictures he sent me from inside the house he is trapped in. @wusa9 @DMVBlackLives #AllLivesMatter

While everyone is at it, and tweeting #blacklivesmatter, and rightly so. Let me tell you a story that haunts me every single day. This began in the 1920's and tragically ended in 2002, though it continues even to this day. 1/n
My great grand dad retired to Bangalore and as was the custom in those days got a cleaner to cart away night soil at his new home. A young woman, ironically called Lakshmi, who might have been all of 13/14 joined the service, she was still working in our house age 85+ 2/n
I was about 6 or 7 when I recognized her as a person, She would still come around to clean the newer toilets, which curiously had two doors, one from within the house for us and another rarely opened door for "them". I remember her vividly, the most wrinkled, bent person 3/n
People in India wanting to support #BlackLivesMatter, here's a host of ways to fight against the gross injustice against #GeorgeFlyod and many like him, in a meaningful way.
Police Brutality: Fight police brutality, encounter killings and extra judicial killings which is not a problem we need to go overseas to battle. India has an increasingly disturbing history of its own: indianexpress.com/article/india/…
Fight systematic injustices against minorities in our country: Especially while the nation is ripe with the deaths of #MigrantWorkers caused by the state's willful neglect, students booked for peaceful protests, the state sponsored violence against Muslims & as #KashmirBleeds.

Bueno así en breves palabras Anonymous es una organización internacional ULTRASECRETA de ciberactivistas.
Nadie sabe quien pertenece a ellos ni dónde encontrarlos, no pueden ser rastreados.

Pero..¿por qué son tan importantes?
Porque no solo son ciberactivistas, sino que son HACKTIVISTAS. Es decir que son hackers súper chingones que pueden hackearlo TODO.
Su lema es:
“Somos Anonymous. Somos legión. No perdonamos. No olvidamos. Espéranos”.
Y se lo toman muy serio

There was and there is nothing “peaceful” about oppression.
When the oppressed and the marginalized rise up, “peace” is demanded *of* them in a way it was never demanded *for* them.

There is nothing peaceful about the State’s monopoly over violence which it delegates to police thugs.
There is nothing peaceful about the police killing of #GeorgeFlyod or #BreonnaTaylor or the countless other Black people they have killed.

“Violence begets violence” is always flung at the oppressed when they rise up against those oppressing them.
What do centuries of violence against the oppressed beget?

Fact is, @realdonaldtrump is handling this perfectly - offering federal support to local government, letting them know they have a limited time to get it together and NOT making the enforcement action personal or tyrannical. /1 #GeorgeFlyod
It robs the media of the chance to blame him, it pulls the air out to much of the reactionary hatred of the #antifa and #blm mobs and shines a glaring light on the true instigators of hate. /2 #GeorgeFlyod
Anyone who thinks it would have restored "order" to have the media filled with images of bleeding, beaten rioters being shown overdramatic readings of out of context Trump statements is simply an idiot. /3 #GeorgeFlyod
