Baltimore Police putting this young black boy in a chokehold.

MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE!

HOW DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO PUT HIS HANDS BACK WHEN YOU ARE CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HIM?!

THIS IS WHY WE KNEEL

Dylan Roof was treated better than this and he killed 9 black people in church!

Don't EVER ask me why Kaepernick took a knee and why I kneel. BLACK LIVES MATTER!

(Also if you don't know a Muslim or have a Muslim friend, you do now. follow. Trying to dispel Muslim stereotypes)
Grabbing your throat when someone is choking you is a natural reaction. It is a fight or flight response. This boy wasn't resisting. HE WAS TRYING TO SAFE HIS LIFE.

Also the chokehold is ILLEGAL. These officers need to be TERMINATED and arrested for attempted murder!

My heart 😭❤️

This is so pure.

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion..."

A reminder that this is who we are

This is our default state. Before discrimination. Before being taught to hate. LOVE ❤

Racism is learned. Hate is learned. It is not inherited. It is not genetic.

(Also if you don't know a muslim or have a friend that is, you do know. follow)

This RACIST white lady wouldn't let this young black girl exit her own residental building.

"What are you going to do, rob somebody?"

This is so insane and OUTRAGEOUS!

THIS IS NOT OK!
Listen to her grandchild begging her to stop. I honestly pray that this child is free from the ignorance, racism, and hatred of his grandmother. Hate is taught.

& RACISTS NEED TO BE CHARGED CRIMINALLY!

(Also if you don't know or have a friend that's Muslim, u do now. Follow)
Salute this young girl for observing self control, and patience, and being mindful of the child infront of her because the point this racist lady decided to infringed on her freedom, she had every right to physically defend herself...

This racist White Man screamed the N word at a young black woman and tried to make a rear-end collision happen by speeding up and stopping in front of her!

Who is he?! WHERE DOES HE WORK!

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.
Racism in America is alive and well. This Racist tried to severely harm this young black woman. Call it what it is- THIS WHITE DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

HE NEEDS TO BE FOUND AND ARRESTED!

(Also if you don't know a Muslim or have a friend that is, u do now. Follow)
You shouldn't have to be Black, Latino, Muslim, Jew or any other minority to stand against Racism, Xenophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism or any other form of hate.

This is NOT OK!

So lets talk about #Baltimore: last year, I started hanging out in the #BlackButterfly neighborhoods doing an ethnographic study for my @afronews column and it broke my heart. #DispatchesFromBaltimore: These are THEIR Stories.
A Thread

#1 "I'm From Baltimore, I'm Already Dead"
“My father is dead. My brother is dead. I had two cousins, they got shot. My uncles are locked up. What do I want to be when I grow up? Nothing. I’m from Baltimore, I’m already dead.” - Jason, 9th grader, afro.com/im-from-baltim…
#2 "Tell Them That We Matter"
“Dr. Kaye, we’re invisible to them. They don’t see us. They don’t hear us. They don’t care about us. You tell them that we’re not invisible. Tell them that we matter.” - Miss Janet

BREAKING: Remember last week when new #Baltimore Police Commr ordered the arrest of a police officer for misconduct, assault & false arrest for the unjustified arrest of a pedestrian? baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-… Remember that the police union denounced the Commr? Here's the video.
When #Baltimore Police Commr. Harrison ordered the officer arrested, the police union publicly denounced the Commr in an open letter. baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-… Now we see the video. It thoroughly supports the Commr's action against the ofcr. This is how you change the culture.
A straight "attitude arrest." Black people have to fear beating and arrest simply for respectfully challenging the action of a police ofcr. These Black Codes - which deny Black people full citizenship in interaction w/law enforcement - must end.

Every so often I find it fun to try and re-articulate my worldview from scratch, often in the hope that there will be some new or interesting bit to it
1. We are cluelessly born into the middle of a bustling, chaotic story. We are tiny ants on a leaf on a branch on a tree, and everyone around us certainly seems to be in a great hurry
2. We start out as extremely local beings, embedded in our families, our peers, our communities. We inherit their beliefs, their aspirations, their traumas, their flags - most of which they inherited in turn. As children we are onboarded into their rituals and superstitions

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)

I feel like driving up some controversy, so how about a thread of Hot Takes/Unpopular Opinions! You know the drill, one like = one take/opinion.

Start easy: the blunt awkwardness/cringe of 'Blurryface' is the point of taking the piss out of Tyler. I stand by my light 9/10.
2. I don't hate Nickelback's 'Dark Horse' - it's easily a record for them at their most tasteless, but the frat-bro swagger of it helps some of their better hooks.
3. 'Fireflies' by Owl City is a genuinely terrific song that captures precocious, starry-eyed wonderment better than few others in the 2000s.

It is SPECTACULARLY lame, but that's why it works.
