He really is the American Sisi. I can see Trump on phone with his “favourite dictator,” Sisi who declared as a “Terrorist Organization” the Muslim Brotherhood & Ultras (footbal supporters groups). #Egypt dissidents are charged w/ “belonging to Terrorist Organization h/t @rerutled
American Sisi: I wrote this after I watched Trump’s inauguration January 2017 from #Egypt.

I’m an #Egyptian. I know an authoritarian when I see one. nytimes.com/interactive/pr…
If you want to know what Trump will do next:

- remember what Mubarak did during #Jan25. Give US administrations - Dems and Republican - propped him up during his 30yrs in power before revolution forced him to step down

- watch Sisi now: Trump calls him “my favourite dictator.”

“BLACK FOLKS, KEEP POSTING. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Either #TheShowMustBePaused got misunderstood outside of the music industry OR someone co-opted it to suppress Black voices and engage in digital protest suppression.” - @MsPackyetti
“This does NOT sit right with my spirit & I can’t find a single source post or organizer or black led-organization that started this! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If I’m wrong, I’ll say I’m wrong.”
- @MsPackyetti
“If you post a black pic in solidarity, fine. But if you are BLACK, do NOT silence yourself for the rest of the day. NOW IS THE TIME OUR VOICES SHOULD BE UP FRONT. Whether you post your pain or joy, ALL of it is resistance because BLACK EXISTENCE IS RESISTANCE”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Tuesday’s action as per @Mvmnt4BlkLives Week of action:

Divestment from police and investment in Black communities.

This resource from MPD 150 is excellent: Building A Police-Free Future

#DefundThePolice
#BlackSpring
#BlackLivesMatter 

mpd150.com/faq/
Uprisings across the US began as a demand for justice for #GeorgeFloyd who was murdered by police in #Minneapolis. MPD 150 have been evaluating policing in that city. Their resource kit is a great FAQ on defunding and abolishing police. #BlackLivesMatter  #DefundThePolice
What does #DefundThePolice mean? What does #AbolishThePolice look like? Who do the police “protect and serve?”

This is an important resource for the actions and conversations we must have about one of the main enforcers of white supremacist and racist structural oppression.

Military helicopters attempt to disperse protesters, Washington DC Monday night.

#BlackLivesMatter
Trump announced on Monday that he was sending thousands of heavily armed military personnel into the US capital & threatened to dispatch the military across the US against Americans demonstrating against police brutality.

Trump didn’t answer questions about what authority he would use to deploy the military outside the federally-controlled capital city, but he could be considering invoking the Insurrection Act.

Federal law bars the military from enforcing laws at home.
