WATCH: Bishop Barber, Transformative Justice Coalition Rally, March as ‘Lynching of Arbery’ Trial Continues! twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
#AhmaudArbery’s father, Marcus Arbery: “This is everybody’s problem. This is not just a Black-white thing. When something like this happens, it hurts all of us.” #JusticeForAhmaud 
Today the racist in chief ordered the police to shoot tear gas and rubber bullets at peaceful protestors in Washington, DC who have been tirelessly protesting the murder of George Floyd and demanding justice for black lives. 1/
The police stormed the crowd on horseback to clear the streets for his photo-op so this pathetic man could leave his bunker to walk across the street and pose in front of a historic church holding a bible. 2/
The bishop of this church just went on national television to denounce him and his abuse of sacred symbols as a backdrop for his message, since it is antithetical to the teachings of Jesus Christ. 3/
THREAD: many can't protest because they are #HighRiskCovid19, many can't donate because they don't have the means to.

“We too often focus on the pain of the individual knuckle hitting us that we miss that it is the brutal force of an entire fist that is trying to knock us out. From law enforcement to governors, from jails to prisons...it’s all connected and the entirety of it is catastrophic. 1/
“Every elected person, public safety system stakeholder, and community advocate w/the power to do something, including decarceration, should exercise that power now, w/o hesitation and to the fullest extent allowed under the law. Anything less is unacceptable.“ -@Bobbin_Singh 2/

"I donot respect anyone who has not been to prison” said #JulianAssange. What he meant, was that being in prison means that you have made so much trouble for the system that the only way for the system to deal with you is to lock you up and try to silence you.

Several days ago, a disturbing video surfaced of the killing of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery. Ahmaud was murdered over two months ago on February 23 in Georgia when he was chased and killed by two white men claiming they were conducting a citizen’s arrest for a burglary. 1/
Ahmaud was simply just going for a run, something he did frequently. I’m deeply saddened by Ahamaud’s murder and enraged by the amount of public pressure that was needed for the state of Georgia to act. 2/
How we move around has changed drastically due to COVID-19, and it has been abundantly clear that during a time of crisis, certain people are afforded much more privilege in how they can navigate spaces. 3/
This is wild. We’ve been kicked off FB Live 3x. We’re still recording and will haVe the video up ASAP.
Now on ZOOM live.
Right now #AhmaudAbrey's mother Ms. Wanda Cooper-Jones is on #RolandMartinUnfiltered
Roland is covering the breaking news about the arrests of Travis McMichael and Gregory McMichael for the murder of #AhmaudArbery
On #RolandMartinUnfiltered tonight #AhmaudArbery's mother Ms. Wanda Cooper-Jones said an arrest would give her a some sense of justice. So finding out after the show that Travis & Gregory McMichaels were arrested was welcome news. Now arrest the 3rd guy. #JusticeForAhmaudArbery
The video and story of the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, is horrifying to everyone who cares about peace, justice, public safety, and America. The State of Georgia must do everything possible to expose the full truth and provide justice for the Arbery family #JusticeForAhmaud
Having spent years working on a case involving the wrongful conviction of a black man for crimes he did not commit, I am always mindful that we need to reserve final judgment until all of the facts have been uncovered.
But it seems inconceivable from the video that there could be any legitimate reason for the shooting or the gross indifference of the authorities to this tragedy.
What happened to #AhmadArbery is horrifying. What makes it worse is that this is not a single event, but a systemic pattern of injustice & violence against POC tracing back to the Doctrine of Discovery & our nation's white supremacists Declaration of Independence & Constitution.
Biden will act outraged & Trump will say there were good people on both sides. But neither will address the root of the problem. US Constitution refers to black people as 3/5ths & 13th amendment doesn't abolish slavery. This is a foundational level problem. #JusticeForAhmaud
I am the only candidate working to fix our foundations. My vision is to build a nation where We the People truly means #AllThePeople. Which includes removing 3/5th compromise from Article 1 section II of US Constitution and actually abolishing slavery.
Footage was released showing the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man who was jogging near his home in Georgia. A father and son—both white—pursued Ahmaud and shot him. #JusticeForAhmaud nyti.ms/35M4TEw
In response to the shooting, Angela Ferrell-Zabala, chief equity, outreach & partnerships officer at @Everytown said, “No one should ever have to fear for their life while jogging down the street, and there is no place in our society for racism or so-called vigilante ‘justice.’"
“We need to call out racism when we see it, and recognize the role that lax firearm laws play in making hate deadly.” #JusticeForAhmaud
Black America is in an abusive relationship with this country. We were violently forced into this non-consensual relationship. We’ve taken the beatings, killings, rape and psychological & emotional torture & have survived. #thread
We’ve been lied to & cheated, but we continue to clench our teeth, hold our rage & find opportunities to be happy, if only for brief moments.
All the while, begging (and demanding) this country to love us back, when we know deep down inside it’ll never love us the way we deserve to be loved.
Watching the video, a few things seem obvious.
First, there is no obvious evidence of a racial motivation. This looks like a typical example of bad reasoning that I've written about before as seen below.

Second, there was no "hunting down" of anyone. The truck is stationary and the black fellow jogs up to it.
Third, you can't tell what the black fellow was doing after he went around the truck and approached the shooter directly prior to the first shot. It is not unreasonable...

to conclude that this was probably murder, but it is always worth noting uncertainty.
Assuming this was murder, it is notable that this kind of public outrage relatively rarely follows a black-on-white murder even though they are more common.

🧑🏿🦱🇺🇸1. El racismo en EEUU vuelve a cobrarse una nueva víctima en uno de esos casos que es doloroso no solo por el hecho en sí mismo, sino por la falta de consecuencias inmediatas que tan común es ver en este país.

🧑🏿🦱🇺🇸2. Arbery vivía con su madre en el condado costero de Glynn, en Georgia. Según sus amigos y familiares, le gustaba salir a correr para mantenerse en forma. El pasado 23 de febrero, Arbery estaba corriendo en el barrio suburb de Satilla Shores.

🧑🏿🦱🇺🇸3. Un hombre blanco de 64 años, Gregory McMichael, vio a Arbery pasar por delante de su casa "a toda leche" y creyó que se trataba de un sospechoso que había estado robando en la zona. Según McMichael, había visto al mismo hombre en un vídeo de una cámara de vigilancia.
