Last night TPD arrested and charged two known organizers, @DailyTacoma and our own @ohdamn_jam.
So many people acted quickly, and we were able to make sure they both made bail.
You can read @ohdamn_jam's account of what happened here
If you remember, back in August we were made aware that Pierce County diverted COVID funds to monitor us. We know for sure they monitored and reported on this account and anyone associated with it, such as @DailyTacoma
Side note: They were not read their rights until munch later.
TPD knows who we are. They know who @DailyTacoma is. It's not a coincidence that they were both arrested and charged with obstruction.
TAC & @DailyTacoma have been very vocal about #ManuelEllis and arresting the cops who murdered him, which is why we were/are being monitored.
One thing about us, we don't let up. Ever. We've already been silently fighting this, but y'all are about to hear us.
If you witnessed @ohdamn_jam and @DailyTacoma being arrested last night, please dm us.

👋🏾 a lot of new people here. So here's a few things to know about us: (y'all know we love threads)
We love Black people more than we hate white supremacy.
When we started organizing under this name in 2015, it was because received death threats as individuals. Tacoma didn't have a big protest scene, and it was hella easy for people to make us targets. As Black women, we needed to protest ourselves.

😂 not y'all saying people over property yesterday and then being mad at some broken windows today.
No, we didn't go to the protest for safety reasons, but we're also not losing sleep over some windows. They can pay for it with that increased police budget.
This is the same city that didn't blink an eye about Manuel Ellis. Have barely said anything about a cop running people over with his car, and wanted to cut money from the libraries and increase the police budget.

Manuel Ellis was killed in Tacoma, WA on March 3rd 2020. Today Is July 27th. On June 2nd it was clear that this case was being both covered up and neglected. (A thread)
The four officers who killed Manuel Ellis were placed on leave, and were allowed to return to work, even though an investigation hadn't been completed. They still haven't been fired.
The Tacoma City Manager has the power to fire them, and won't. With the exception of Mayor Woodards, Deputy Mayor Keith Blocker, and Council Member Catherine Ushka, the Council has been silent. They haven't put forward a motion to fire the officers.
