Da Baby's comments about HIV and AIDS are exactly why Christopher Darden felt comfortable using the AIDS
and gay panic defense for Ed Buck's benefit. complex.com/music/dababy-h…

"If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up," said the rapper during his performance.

"Ladies, if your pussy smell like water, put your cellphone lighter up. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”

Y'all who like to cancel people--y'all got your latest target.

Now before y'all white gay orgs rush to speak out about Da Baby--take a step back and let the Black queer orgs and voices take the lead on this one. We got this. He's one of ours.

This fascinates me. Where were these folks the past four years when we were fighting for justice? Oh--making a movie off of our work.

"The documentary section includes Enyce Smith and Gina Lamb’s Crystal Diaries and Michiel Thomas’s Gemmel and Tim."

Lol—but not really. Christopher “Gemmel Moore died of full blown AIDS and not meth” Darden told @Slausongirlnews he feels like representing Ed Buck was his calling.

Maybe he’s talking about that 6 to 7 figures payday calling.

Tonight I hope my Stonewall Democratic Club colleagues will join me in supporting @AlexMohajer for president of Stonewall Dems. I cannot in good conscience support the incumbent given his behavior regarding his friend Ed Buck.

It’s time for new leadership. If the organization really wants to be who they say they are—electing Alex is a good step in moving toward that direction.

ED BUCK TRIAL UPDATE: Alrighty fam! Court resumes at 9 a.m. Here’s a recap of yesterday’s testimony.

Ed Buck Trial: Day Two
iamjasmyne.com/ed-buck-trial-…

#edbuck #edbucktrial

It’s clear that Christopher Darden and Ludlow Creary’s defense of Ed Buck involves weaponizing his victim’s HIV status. Darden and Ludlow are fixated on AIDS and making sure the jury has a negative connotation when they hear it.

The only relevance HIV has in this trial is the fact that Ed Buck is HIV positive and according to his victims, specifically asked them of their status and knew that they were positive when he did what he did to them. But the defense doesn’t want to talk about that.

The LA County Democratic Party has passed a resolution calling on Sheriff Alex Villanueva to resign. I'm glad we were able to get it done this time around. #VillanuevaMustGo

We helped to elect a wolf in sheep’s clothing and now it’s our responsibility to right that wrong.

We put a vindictive-self-serving-narcissist-registered-in-name-only Democrat into office–and now it’s time for us to use the same amount of enthusiasm, energy, and money we poured into electing Sheriff Alex Villanueva into removing him from office.

🧵Hey, fam. Today between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. we're expecting an update on the vote count for #Compton's election. But let me tell you what you need to know before then about the voter fraud that's been reported. @LACountyRRCC @DCLogan @FBILosAngeles @LADAOffice

Remember when I exposed Compton council candidate Jace Dawson for lying about his nine degrees and working for Obama, Fox News, and several members of Congress?

Even with almost 200 votes, Jace came in last place during the primary. Jace then got into cahoots with none other than Isaac Galvan--who he ran against. Isaac then put him on a commission with the help of now outgoing councilwoman Tana McCoy and could be mayor Emma Sharif.
