#AyeKeisha what do mayors actually have the power to do.
Because if all we're gonna get is a list of what can't be done, anyone could be in office. Why does it have to be you?

Why can't I live where Great Aunt and Grandma lived and worked?
Why isn't housing in the peremiter affordable?
Especially if there's extra money to spend on the APD budget?

When you were applauding Erika Sheilds as a police chief, was this before or after she sent a email to the cops saying she didn't plan to fire or discipline the officers involved in assaulting those college students?

#MayorsWhoMatter
#AyeKeisha
In your press conference 2 weeks ago, you condemned people "running out with brown liquor in your hands breaking windows in this city".
How can we believe youll fight for #RayshardBrooks if this is the image you have of Black ppl?
#MythoftheBlackMecca
#MayorsWhoMatter
#AyeKeisha
Why did you continue your press tour after Messiah Young and Taniyah Pilgrim were attacked by APD?
Why not halt your engagements and refocus on the city immediately?
#MythoftheBlackMecca
#MayorsWhoMatter
FINALLY...
#AyeKeisha are you listening?
Because the problem with Black politicians? Y'all are all acting like you'll be okay regardless.
Like you value your positions over Black lives.
Like our pain is just something you have to wait out.

My biggest problem with voting will always be this:
People telling me to vote are nowhere to be found when I'm doing grassroots work to address the problems they told me voting would fix.
Yall run and tell me to vote, then you sit on your hands.
You don't attend programs.
You don't go to protests.
You don't even retweet GoFundMe's.
You vote and that's it. Cause you don't have any other plan for helping the people you say you care about.
"This is why we have to vote"
NO.
This is why you have to open your hand. Your door. Your wallet.
NO ONE ELSE IS COMING.

When I worked at Kroger I got paid 7.40 an hour.
I had to work 2 hours just to afford a taxi ride home.
Most of yall have no idea what its like to be on your feet ALL day and only come home with 53 dollars to show for it.
And it shows.
Whew. The way yall talk about money. Twitter is full of people who:
-Read "rich dad/poor dad"
-Do poverty cosplay but actually have decent financial access.
-Write about poor people but never had to LIVE on minimum wage.

Good morning to everyone in the universe EXCEPT the couple who made jewelry from the broken glass at protests.
At the @NMAAHC , there are iron grave markers. They were made by the ironworker of an all Black town during the Reconstruction era.
This white lady went to take a picture.
I calmly... firmly... told her she shouldnt do that.
She was about to have a whole gravemarker of a WHOLE deceased Black person in her phone. Walkin around with it.
Showing it to friends as a cool artifact.
Just like somebody is walking around with protest glass around their neck like memorabilia from a lynching.

Cause white witches and goths coming for @FredTJoseph , listen to me real quick: THERE ARE BLACK MYSTICS. Witch aesthetic Instagram doesnt tell you that, but we exist.
And as a whole Black mystic, seeing what he saw in that house, I would've left too.
Follow me for a second.
White people have a bad habit of buying "vintage" cute "little trinkets" to decorate their homes and guest rooms. White people do not have a good track record of knowing where their cultural artifact decor comes from.
So I would've been suspicious at the very least.
NOW...
@FredTJoseph mentioned all the trump paraphernalia in the area of the home.
Yall been calling trump and his presidency EVIL for 4 years. Dont look at a Black man funny when he leaves a home in a trump neighborhood with "kitschy" decor on the shelves.
THAT CONNECTION MATTERS.

I know yall believe this, but its another lie from the barbershop.
Alot of women dont know a man will be a deadbeat father.
Because thats how abusive men work.
They hide their abusive behavior until its too late.
Willfully abandoning your child is child abuse. AND abuse of your baby momma.
And abusive men will lie first, then abuse you later.
"Choose better men" is another way for weak men to avoid being responsible AND to keep abusing women and children.
Also...since we here.
One time, a man was all on social media talking about how two or three of his girlfriends had abortions.
Then, "choose better men" became "Thats so evil. Why have an abortion to get back at him? He could be a good father. Yall never give men a chance".
