This girl disappeared just days before she was about to testify against her stepfather, a cop



Say her name: #JashyahMoore
More than 40% of cops *admit* to abusing their loved ones
Cops are also legally allowed to rape people in their custody in 35 US states — and they do
Cops are also responsible for 1 of every 3 stranger murders nationwide
It’s no accident 1 in 3 Black boys winds up caged

And overall recidivism is 67%.

From school safety officers to traffic cops and from security guards to CPS, ‘law enforcement’ is the intentional gateway into a system designed to destroy you from your first interaction with it
If you’re fuckin pissed off, don’t donate to a politician, don’t donate to a charity, do mutual aid, and help the family of #JashyahMoore

We protect us
And we heal us

Almost exactly a year ago, on August 31, 2020, Portland cop Thomas Clark chased down a protester, tackled him, pinned him to the ground, and punched him repeatedly in the face.

Yesterday, ‘progressive’ DA Mike Schmidt said this brutality “was justified”

While the crimes of Portland police are being excused by the DA — despite video evidence of excessive force

The same leniency is not being applied to Portlanders exercising their 1A rights…

E.g.: Beta faces decades in prison for defending an old man from a hammer-wielding Nazi Image
.@cozca503 is facing protest-related charges and, like Beta, cannot persuade the Portland DA’s office to act in line with the principles new head DA Mike Schmidt ran on to earn election in 2020

On Friday night, @luv4u’s daughter, a young Black woman, was attacked by a Chicago cop while walking her dog

The same department that arrests Black people 410% more often, and kills Black people 2210% more often

And got 70% of the city’s COVID budget

Chicago, August 2020

DA Mike Schmidt just told the people of Portland to make peace with Proud Boys…

But this was Portland last year, on August 22, with local anti-fascists defending the city against rightwing extremist intruders



Yall keep an eye on PDX this weekend
As an abolitionist I understand the language Portland DA Mike Schmidt uses during this presser preceding the city’s 8/22/21 clash

But wrong place, wrong time.

Literal Nazis from other cities and states are invading your city, armed and planning violence
Today in Portland, the Proud Boys attacked anyone and everyone they could

Destroyed an emergency van

And smoke bombed their own stage setup at an abandoned Kmart

With no law enforcement in sight

Cause Proud Boys and PDX police are one and the same

Cory Booker (and 98 other Democrats) approved:
If your response to this tweet is that there aren’t 99 Democrats, you’re correcting a typo — and ignoring the issue. You’re not original, or smart, or funny, for doing this. You haven’t owned me. You didn’t win Twitter. Snark is not all you think it is. Have a great day.
This is what we mean by #DefundThePolice

More than $600 million a year… to triple team a skinny young Black man, and punch him repeatedly in the face

Here’s what happens when cops get caught
Here’s what happens when cops get fired (hint: they don’t quit being cops)

Like body cams, which police unions fought *for*

Electronic monitoring is a reform — pitched as a way of shrinking incarceration — that actually works to increase surveillance

And incarcerate people at home who never would’ve served prison time

Expanding the carceral state 🧵
“Electronic monitoring, like prison, restricts liberty, limits privacy, disrupts family relationships, and jeopardizes financial security” @waazn1 @EmmettSanders75 @KWeisburd @inQuest_

“The true alternative to incarceration is freedom — not surveillance”
