Anyone else watching The Queen’s Gambit? Love this.
Had time for the first time in 1.5 years to just watch shit. Amazing feeling. I also watched The Death of Stalin which was hilarious and the Snowden movie.
A break weekend of playing with my kids and watching Netflix is so needed. I plan to be back in some fight by next week.
But also the way Stokely smiled today was like he knew a stress was lifted off me. He was hugging me all day and he knew he had all my attention. That felt so good.

I’m going to need the white left to take several seats on claiming victory over Donald Trump.

1. White youth still voted for Trump in way too high numbers
2. Black people especially Black women saved you
3. Black people, for many reasons, are not as progressive as you ascribe
Basically, there is a lot more organizing to do and you can’t just say listen to Black people and then be very mad Biden was the nominee (in large part because of Black people) and then take credit for defeating Trump.
There are many factors to every election of course but this more than many others is very explainable by Black people showed TF up to save the nation. Not the youth, not white youth, BLACK PEOPLE.

If Biden wins Georgia it will be of course because of Black voters, Black women in particular. But also in large part to Stacey Abrams, the movement she started as a candidate, and the voting reform movement she championed after.
Also, the day the election is called should hence forth be declared “thank a Black person day” because once again we had to save white America from itself.
There is no group that has been so harmed by our democracy yet done more to save it. Every damn year.

This was done to a Black supporter of @sarah2020 today. Just unacceptable. If you want to do a protest vote that's fine but stop stealing from our BIPOC supporters, donors, volunteers, and staff.
Also, it is ironic becuase Sarah's platform called for defunding before it was a buzz word and was the only one in the primary to do so.
I have nothing negative ever to say about their preferred candidate. Also, it is unclear if they are involved. She does great work, I have nothing but respect, and will never say a bad word. I obviously will say that a write-in effort only serves Ted Wheeler but they know that.

It is beyond me how any person could think that this man who is senselessly beating those he is sworn to protect and serve should also be who we send to those in a mental health crisis, domestic violence situations, sexual assaults, or even a traffic violation.
It is no wonder why so many people want to defund the police. Because even if a person thinks there is a reasonable purpose for policing, it is hard for anyone to believe it should be men like this who could be fulfilling that purpose. Yet this is who they are.
When not one person, including this mans boss, believes there will be any accountability for these actions; it is no wonder that many in our society do not trust this institution to do anything of value.

Hey ya'll, I do not ask you for much but please consider giving to this cause. As you know, my wife was hospitalized due to complications after the protest munitions. We are still recovering. The heroes who protected us that night need your help. (thread) gofundme.com/f/protective-g…
A few days ago I attended the Portland Protests I did so with what I thought was full protective gear. I quickly ran into members of the Radical Justice Party who informed me that despite my gear being expensive, it would not fully protect me.
They lamented that their gear also was leaving them exposed but they were committed to doing everything they could do at the protests. I asked if I could stay with them during the protest and they said yes.

Thread time. This one is important but complex, bare with me. I swear this is good info if you are a protester, live in Portland, or just want to resist Trump.

As many of you know I work in politics. This is why I know why Portland Police is live streaming lately.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist and this isn't a conspiracy. It is how this works. So first, it is important to note that this filming is illegal under Oregon law. However, I'm not going to waste time pretending @PortlandPolice or Mayor @tedwheeler care. oregonlaws.org/ors/181A.250
One small purpose of these streams is to try and turn the public against the protesters. They think if protesters appear as fringe actors, the public will support a violent crackdown. However, they never film the violent crackdown. They turn it off then. reddit.com/r/Portland/com…
