Like I don’t wanna be a downer but guys...R*ssia successfully hacked/interfered with our presidential election, got us 45 & the crucial midterms are right around the corner...
Gop Congress refuse to do shit cause they’re getting what they want & Dems are stressing civility. I just don’t know...
Voter Suppression played a huge hpart in 45 winning crucial states & folks are acting like it’s business as usual. I just...

Black movie goers know which movies are for us and which films aren’t. We really don’t like our stories being made into films that center (and humanize) people that hate us. The filmmakers/studio know that by naming the film “The Green Book”, black movie goers...
...are going to be expecting a story about black people trying to safely navigate the country (real history) and instead will get a white savior film. Like folks went to see Detroit thinking it was about the riots...
Anywhoo, I know Mahershela is fantastic in it. He was the best thing about the trailer. As rich as the history behind the creation of ‘The Green Book’ is/was, as amazing as Dr. Don Shirley’s story is, WHY is this film about a random, racist driver and his family?

This is so powerful. For so many the defensive rebuttal to #MeToo is “Men are victims too” as if the mvment isn’t about ALL survivors. Here Charles is, like Terry, understanding exactly what female survivors go through. They know THEY will be blamed/shamed no matter what.
We live in a patriarchal/misogynistic society. We teach girls to dress modestly, cross your legs, know where you are but do not, as a society, teach boys NOT to rape. We teach girls all of the reasons their assaults are their fault (fast little girls) but spend exactly no time...
...teaching kids about consent. Boys ARE survivors as well. We know tgis because sexual assault/rape is about the abuse of power. But the rules of patriarchy don’t allow men to be victims OR push against a patriarchal system. So they are also shamed & silence. Who’s left then?

Nothing says how toxic patriarchy is than an pastor launching n2 an anti-black, anti-single mom rant during the eulogy of Aretha Franklin, a single mom who raised sons. That “old school” mentality is full of misogyny, homophobia, groping (and worse) & needs 2 go.
It’s complicated. The history of the black church in this country is so rich. It was a place of gathering. Of safety from white eyes. We could be together & worship. Dance. Sing. Your fav singers came from the black church. Your fav non-black singers, fav singers, came from...
...the black church. It’s honestly why, when white progressives go into anti-religious rhetoric, it turns folks off. Even black agnostic & atheist black folks understand the history & nuance of the black church. That’s why someone like Farrakhan can be up there in a ...

So, I see a lot of people - including a lot of media - lining up to cry VINDICATION on the Jeromy Farkas story. Here's why this is terribly wrongheaded.

Let's start with the facts. On Dec. 17's regular Council session, part of the agenda included a motion from Councilor Sutherland (@Ward4Ward1), which called for a salary freeze for City Council. Here's the full text of that:
During the debate on this motion, confusion arose over Council salaries, which are tied to the average weekly earnings of Albertans. The city's Chief Financial Officer, Carla Male, seemed to indicate that voting in favour of the motion would actually result in a net GAIN.

And as if like clockwork, an intervention from The Pensions Regulator -- we assume circulated to employers also, since it's been made public by UCU -- at a critical moment in the #USS dispute. Are we in 2018 or 2017? 1/
Remember TPR's ltr to Eastwood (Sept 17)

And #JEP later said: "It appears to the Panel that the Regulator's influence has been disproportionate. Some of those giving evidence... have suggested that the Regulator's views have steered employers' decisions." academicfreedom.watch/sites/default/… screen shot of first page of ltr linked to in text

1. Rain has clipped my photography wings today. I’m stuck inside. Rather than pull out my rainy-day activity book, I thought I’d inflict my own personal views on unexpected strangers by threading this morning. I’m generous that way.
2. Let’s cut to the chase. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Insert your own expression for getting to the point right here. Let’s preheat this oven. Set aside your emotions about the injustice done this week. Hard but possible to do.
3. Prime operating system for this thread will be 80/20 rational, logical thinking over emotion. Emotion always has a place, but there are times when it must be set aside to be able to look at the wheels within wheels of situations.

Want to talk about ⛪ today but 1st we need to talk about White Supremacy in Portland b/c for me church is at its BEST when it’s a tool for resistance for marginalized folks (class, race, gender, orientation, etc).

So Portland was built for Whitey

Despite PDX being for folks who looked like me and being a segregated city (in a state that had exclusion laws built into its Constitution) there was a small pocket of the black community here that got pushed somewhere new every few decades

It’s important to note what integrated the Black/White was a need to get the war machines going and quick. Once the war is done those cheap houses in the floodplain 🙋‍♂️Oregon’s 2nd biggest city, only integrated one, is gone just like that

Psyops War Waged on Twitter

Add this info to your toolkit:

What is Demoralization (warfare) aka psychological warfare?

It is a Chekist Psyops propaganda technique used by paid #TrumpPutin Disinfo & Despair Trolls to divide & demoralize the opposition to the #TrumpRegime.
The job of paid Moles,Trolls & Agent Provocateurs (MTAP) is to demoralize everyone opposing the corrupt #TrumpRegime.

Be wary even if the bio says they hate Trump & they actively bash Trump & GOP daily.

😱”Resistance is Futile” is the subtext of the mantra of Despair MTAPs.

.
👉🏼It is a psyop, ‘controlled opposition’ ploy pretending opposition to Trump/GOP, thus infiltrating the opposition movement to sow:

👉🏼Disinfo (usually important points omitted or diminished),

👉🏼Discord (snippy/rude), &

👉🏼Dissent (attacking others opposing Trump).

1) Everyone should know about the OIC [org Islamic council] consists of Muslim nations which adhere to a different human rights declaration.
2) called the 'Cairo Declaration of human rights in islam' In it the supreme law is shariah and blasphemy against it means prosecution
3) the OIC to have a 'different' hr dec is truly a danger to any critic of the Islamic world. Reason is bc the #UNDHR leaves 0 room for bias
