1/ Short thread on everyone’s fav paid agent @breakingbrown. Spent the last few days taking a deep dive into her connections to John Tanton’s racist, population control machinations, articulated and implemented by his right-wing network of orgs and funding sources. Illuminating.
2/ How much do u actually know about @breakingbrown? She not only supports white supremacists like our current @POTUS but also gets paid by them. She is on the BOD of @PFIRorg, architected by Tanton himself, as part of his network of anti-immigration & population control efforts?
3/ Tanton’s network of white supremacist orgs and their funding sources are complicated but well documented. Did you know the @colcomfdn has given in excess of $100 M in the last 13 years to both @FAIRImmigration and other groups such as @PFIRorg?
4/ These groups are all a part of John Tanton’s racist, anti-immigration network. Did you know the deceased Mellon scion (Scaife May) of the @colcomfdn and John Tanton were bosom buddies for many years before her death?
5/ Tanton spent much of that time influencing and molding her beliefs around immigration and population control efforts, to the point where she bequeathed a large portion of her estate, which pays out multiple times a year, millions of dollars to orgs either founded or initiated
6/ by Tanton, like @FAIRImmigration, @CIS_org, @PFIRorg & other SPLC designated hate groups. These groups get the vast majority of their funding from Scaife May’s @Colcomfdn (a long time confidant of Tanton & a closet white-supremacist herself). May & Tanton corresponded for yrs
7/ through letters documenting their anti-immigration and population control fantasies, now proffered into reality by our current fascist admin. And do you understand that this is by design, as many of the orgs & people currently implementing policy in the Trump admin
8/ have ties official and unofficial, to Tanton’s network of hate orgs? Are you comfortable with being led by someone doing the bidding of white supremacists and eugenicist theorists? @breakingbrown is leading y’all down a GREAT BIG FASCIST RABBIT-HOLE.
9/ Her ultimate goal, which has nothing to do with reparations, is to actually draw voters away from the Dem party. She has nothing to say or criticize about Republican, conservative or fascist policies because she is literally being financed by them.
11/ The queried link above (or below) will give you a breakdown of the @colcomfdn’s contributions to @breakingbrown’s @PFIRorg for years 2010 through 2013.
13/ Clicking on the IRS link gives us unfortunately, only one year of @colcomfdn’s PF 990 form for 2016. Nonetheless, it is instructional on just how influential @colcomfdn is, in driving the anti-immigration agenda as it funnels millions to the Tanton network annually.
16/ #DearLeader aka #DearYvette aka @breakingbrown cares nothing for reparations, or @SandyDarity’s data and willingness to gamble with is reputation in order to aid this fringe #hashtag group. She’s in it to do the bidding of her master’s Tanton & the @colcomfdn and to get paid!
1/ This is the problem with anyone representing #ADOS. U r essentially supporting a group that centralizes the *supremacist* theory that #ADOS have some sort of blood purity over *other* Americans of African descent because their ancestors went through slavery. @TalibKweli 📜📜📜
2/ A theory, not only supremacist but a *fallacy*. The pillar of the #ADOS screed 4 reparations is their reputed *specific* claim because they r descendants of persons enslaved during US chattel slavery & Jim Crow. There are a significant number of people living outside but
3/ particularly inside the US who may not be even more than two or three generations in, whose ancestors went through US chattel slavery and escaped during the revolutionary war or slightly afterwards, and colonized with the help of white abolitionists countries in West Africa.
14/ Infact some have been downright *problematic* e.g @iLuvvit. None of that justifies or should condone the virulent anti-blackness (particularly anti-African and Carribean rhetoric) permeating through #ADOS supporters starting from their co-founders @tonetalks & @BreakingBrown
15/ @tonetalks is right to compare and contrast the intra-racial disparities between Americans of Carribean & African descent vs #ADOS in attempting to illustrate the frightening disparities in wealth but, is devastatingly WRONG to blame that on, lax immigration policies or
16/ recent Americans of African or Caribbean descent because, they dared to come to the United States to seek a better life (and are ultimately succeeding because of a combination of their hard work and the *embattled labor* of the #ADOS people that make America truly great).
1/ #ADOS divisiveness starts at the top with @tonetalks and @BreakingBrown & their anti-black rhetoric which they embed with far-right talking points, supporting curbed immigration & a revocation of birth-right citizenship & quizzically, a move to re-interpret the 14th amendment.
2/ Their goal is to have US citizenship for black folk in the US only apply to Americans Descendants of Slavery (that never left), hence the acronym. Y’all wildin’...!!! Y’all want to start an intra-racial war in the United States and it’s not happening. Nuts...!!! 🤡
3/ Y’all took a perfectly necessary and essential message, reparations for Americans descendants of American chattel slavery and Jim Crow (which I am a 100% in support of) and infused it with virulent anti-black (particularly anti-African) bigotry, coupled with far-right,
