#DisabilityJustice Twitter please uplift this story. A white male principal push & tore the braids out of an 11 year old black disabled girl’s head after she told him to not touch her as he was removing her from class for spraying perfume. Dane Co. DA is not pressing charges.
Here is the police report: bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/madison.com/co…
Here is the parent reaction. During the investigation the DA tried to get Child Protective Service records suggesting the mother abused her child. nbc15.com/content/news/M…
Here is the blurry video footage: wkow.com/news/top-stori…
Some early reports: madison.com/ct/news/local/…
And: madison.com/ct/news/local/…
Disability & anti-racist activists, please spread the word about the way @MMSDschools has allowed this & other violence to continue to occur, most impacting black youth and disabled youth of color, including multiple incidences of TEACHERS using racial slurs & cops in schools.

I hope my students are in the house! Someone just asked about #disability & the @MeTooMVMT. @TaranaBurke spoke about the need to have those with lived experiences LEAD on these issues while also acknowledging that we all need to do the work to learn about & support each other.
She emphasized that we cannot work in our oppression silos. The #MeToo movement MUST be #intersectional. We need each other, ALL OF US, to be in this for change to happen.
Oooh and the next question she handles queerness & sex ed too. I am social justice stanning like none other. What a model of leadership!!!

So fucking over the moon to have met & introduce @MeTooMVMT founder @TaranaBurke tonight for her @WUD_DLS lecture at @UWMadison. My voice broke as I read my intro bc of how powerful & important Ms. Burke’s work is to me & the world.
Tonight Ms. Burke told us about her origins working with black girl survivors. She reminded us that the work has ALWAYS about survivors, healing & ending sexual violence NOT merely about “bringing down powerful men”
Her talk was moving. She encouraged all @UWMadison students to claim this space. She said this is YOUR campus. You DESERVE to be safe here & free from sexual & racial violence. Until we are all safe here the university is not living up to its mission.

Good morning Twitter friends. I’m still in bed sick, but possibly on the mend at last after 4 days. Last night @tropigalia & @laura_luna asked me to do a #thread on the devaluing & misrecognition of #femme relationships so here we go.
First, if you don’t know what femme is, read this, this thread will still be here: bustle.com/articles/16608…
So to be clear, femme is a queer gender expression not tied to sex or gender identity. Femme is also not exclusively about appearance, but this thread will emphasize appearance bc I’m going to talk about the way femme relationships are read, thus based on visual cues.

This story is rage-inducing yet, it is the reality of many disabled girls of color in public schools. Given this is my specific focus of research, let’s examine why this is not an outlier, but an often repeated story for disabled girls of color #DisCrit #DisabilityJustice 1/
Let’s go through some trends & then into this story specifically. Note, most of this work comes straight from my book, The Pedagogy of Pathologization Dis/abled Girls of Color in the School-prison Nexus” which I will link when I have space. 2/ #DisCrit routledge.com/The-Pedagogy-o…
“Students in special education have been traditionally been imagined as a protected class in schools, but, in fact, have rarely been protected from the deleterious effects of disproportionate disciplinary actions, poor curriculum, and problematic pedagogy” (p. 39) 3/ #DisCrit

Please allow me to introduce the unfortunate crew of the Dryad (1828), courtesy of its surgeon, who clearly wanted to be a writer

1. 28-year-old James Connor, boatswain's mate, who accidentally stabbed himself in the penis while messing about in front of his mates
2. 25-year-old John Irving, an irritable assistant surgeon, who developed a fever after indulging in ‘shore excursions & Picnic Parties where Prudence did not always preside’ & falling into a pond 💦🤒
3. 27-year-old officer of the marines Stephen Waite: ‘one of those handsome dull Subjects, so frequently promoted on account of the beauty of their persons, with little regard to Intellect or ability of any Kind’

... Good to see the doctor keeping to the issue at hand

White woman calls cops on 9-yr-old Black kid, claiming he "sexually assaulted her," (he accidentally brush up against her while walking past her in the store). Come on Twitter, RT to play your favorite game: ID The Racist

(Hope she never rides the subway)
She lives in NYC!! I mean the amount of daily contact with strangers I have every day simply from taking the train, using the sidewalk, or being in elevators would shock people not from a big city. How does she function? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
At the end if the video the woman accuses a 9 year old black boy who brushed against her in the store of wanting to rape her. That's some real Emmitt Till shit right there.

🔥PLEASE RETWEET this #AmberAlert!🔥 The child may be with an unidentified man who goes by Antwan; mid 20s, brown hair in dreads, gold teeth, last seen wearing a white tank top, black basketball shorts with "AMD1" logo and may be in a white Toyota Camry. news4jax.com/top-stories/fl…
#AmberAlert UPDATE: 2-year-old Jordan Belliveau is still missing & we should stay vigilant, but from past experience, I'm doubting that there ever was an "Antwan" & I'm beginning to think the mother is somehow involved. I hope I'm wrong. baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/…
The reason you always hear about experienced criminal investigators getting a "gut feeling" in movies & on TV shows is; it's real. It makes you work harder to find the truth, but you always hope you're wrong when it involves a child. This hurts my heart.

Black fourteen-year-old knocks on homeowner's door to ask for directions to school, gets shot at. fox2detroit.com/news/local-new…
He missed his bus and didn't have his phone because his mom had confiscated it as a punishment. She works nights, and he was headed to school on his own steam.
The guy who shot him fumbled with his shotgun because it had the safety on, but "was eventually able to fire a shot as Walker ran away, authorities said."
