WARREN responds to @AlxThomp reporting on WOC staffers in NV leaving her campaign

"So I just heard about this and I believe the women who have spoken up and believe them unequivocally and I apologize to them personally. It's important to me to try to build an organization...

1/
@AlxThomp WARREN: "...that is diverse and inclusive and open and lets everyone bring their whole self to work everyday. But I recognize that the legacy of racism and oppression pervade everything that we do in this country..."

2/
@AlxThomp WARREN: "... and so for me this is about taking personal responsibility which I do and being determined that we will have accountability in this organization and keep doing better everyday."

3/end
@AlxThomp (This was in an interview with WBTS)

Good afternoon from Manchester, Iowa. The Warren volunteer introducing the senator here is discussing how she used to be a Republican -- and then saw her party trying to take away health insurance from Americans, help that directly impacts her family.
30 days away from the Iowa Caucus and Elizabeth Warren is challenging the crowd in Manchester to look at who government works for.

She’s holding two events today. We’ll be in Dubuque, IA later this evening.
This is interesting. Warren gets her first q on how she will heal divisiveness in the country. She usually starts her answer to this q by talking about how two of her brothers are Republicans but they agree on Amazon/corruption.

Today, she starts her answer talking about Trump.

Wow ok emotional moment at Warren’s town hall in IA. A young woman asks if Warren ever had anyone in her life who she looked up to who didn’t accept her. Warren says: “My mother” recalls when she couldn’t make her marriage work and her mom’s disappointment
She added that you still have to do what’s right and maybe the world will come around and maybe it won’t but you have to look out for yourself.
Warren's full answer below.

"Sometimes you just gotta do what's right inside."

News: Warren's Nevada team in tumult as 6 staffers, all women of color, have departed the roughly 70-person campaign in the final stretch w/ complaints of a toxic work environment in which they felt tokenized and w/ state senior leadership at loggerheads. politico.com/news/2020/02/0…
“During the time I was employed with NV for Warren, there was definitely something wrong with the culture,” said Megan Lewis, who joined the campaign in May and departed in December.
Another recently departed staffer, granted anonymity because she feared reprisal, echoed that sentiment. “I felt like a problem — like I was there to literally bring color into the space but not the knowledge and voice that comes with it.”

A predator is more powerful than his prey, Ramani.
I used the word 'predator' to emphasize and highlight the difference in age, influence and power between Mr Akbar and myself. I was a young journalist, he was a famous Editor, 20 years older than me who called me to his bedroom in a hotel for a job interview, Ramani.
On the same day, I received a whatsapp message on my cellphone from Niloufer, Ramani.

Judge asks Ramani to show the original message if she still has it.

Ramani shows it to the Judge.

Dr Brittney Cooper: Eloquent Rage. In conversation with journalist Santilla Chingaipe

Dr Cooper is a first generation university graduate and is motivated by using her research and practice to bring conversations about dismantling patriarchy in everyday life, not just in class Dr Cooper sits on a couch next to Santilla Chingaipe
Dr Cooper sees young Black women & other women of colour struggling with the term feminism because of White women's racism. There are other excellent practices that challenge this (e.g. womanism), but Dr Cooper invites #WOC not to throw away the history of our liberation... 1/2
...White women did NOT invent feminism. White women's involvement in gender liberation grows from them watching Indigenous & Black women's organising. The Women's March was a direct result of other mass movements organised by #WOC - e.g. Arab Spring, #BlackLivesMatter

#warren/#buttigieg 2020. Tell me why I'm wrong.
I was really hoping to elect a person of color, and I still have some interest in Harris. But she's getting too much heat for her prosecutor background. Besides Warren has the most policies that align with my view of America, AND she knows how to make those goals achievable!
And Buttigieg... I'm still learning about his ability to govern, but I'm continually impressed by how worldly and hella SMART he is. and he's obviously had some inside experience of oppression as a gay man from middle America.
