“#MSNBC’s @JoyAnnReid, @MalcolmNance , former TV One pundit @rolandsmartin, the Urban League’s @MARCMORIAL, and CNN’s @angela_rye were among Black journalists and co-conspirators who accused #ADOS of being “MAGA” supporters, xenophobic, nativists and “Russian Bots”..”
@JoyAnnReid & @digitalsista on @MSNBC making false claims & assertions about online users who support #ADOS being ‘Russian bots’ targeting Black voters to spread #Misinformation
More context on @digitalsista & her libelous campaign against #ADOS
This was in 2019…

And to this day, the founders of #ADOS #ADOSAF have yet to receive a formal apology and a statement of retraction from @MSNBC @JoyAnnReid & @digitalsista.

#Misinformation #Disinformation
Mark Thompson of @NCOBRA40 also weighed in on their opinions about #ADOS, the political grassroots organization who told our community that it’s our American right to demand an exchange for our vote.

He repeated the libelous assertion of us being “bots” w/ @JoyAnnReid on @MSNBC
@NCOBRA40 is complicit in the slander & perpetuance of unsubstantiated claims against #ADOS

#Misinformation #Disinformation
Here’s @MalcolmNance on a panel @MSNBC accusing #ADOS of being a fringe group of trolls, who facilitated “birther attacks” against the then presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
@MalcolmNance can be seen on Twitter having used the “ADOSisMAGA” hashtag, popularized by rapper Talib Kweli.

TK smeared #ADOS & made false claims in a Medium blog. He’s since been suspended from Twitter for multiple safety & privacy violations.
#Misinformation
@rolandsmartin Do you still support Talib Kweli’s smear blog, filled with unsubstantiated claims against #ADOS ?

#Misinformation #Disinformation
Back in 2019, @UrbanLeague president @MARCMORIAL called #ADOS “African Descendants Of Slavery,” & claimed that the movement was causing division within the Black community.

@CARICOMorg exists.. But somehow demanding #America pay Reparations for slavery in America, is divisive.
@MSNBC may be aiming to do a quick “clean up,” in their decision to not reschedule @JoyAnnReid show for this coming Spring.

However, seasoned journalists address & correct any misreported information. So again, why are majority of #BlackMedia & pubs so silent?
#Misinformation
@angela_rye gave her sista-girl 2 cents about #ADOS as well. She referred to members of the movement as “bots” & “trolls,” but failed to correct herself after @CNN found Russia to have outsourced troll farms in Nigeria & Ghana.
cnn.com/2020/03/12/wor…

#Misinformation
After @angela_rye was called out for saying all Black people were immigrants, she denied making that statement & suggested people “stop following trolls.”

As Sr advisor to the House Committee on Homeland Security, what has she done for Black community in the US?
#Misinformation
Besides sassy commentary, what has @angela_rye work garnered for the Black #America?

As an attorney, @CBCPAC board member & political strategist; your false statements hindered #ADOS. We’re the only political grassroots org fighting for reparations & you chose to slander us.
@MoveOn launched #VoteDownCovid to counter #ADOS #VoteDownBallot campaign. They even included former BLM PA organizer & AI for the People’s @KoffieKakeki Shakira King in their efforts.

She also co-authored @Kennedy_School’s “Disinformation creep,” along w/ 5 writers from MoveOn.
Now I’m not saying #BlackLivesMatter #BLM was involved in the creation of the #VoteDownCovid campaign to counter the #VoteDownBallot strategy.

However, I find it interesting that the Tides Advocacy Fund & Tides Foundation made large contributions to @MoveOn.
#Donations #Gifts
@MoveOn had help from various people to push their #VoteDownCovid campaign online.

@MutaleNKonde Mutale NKonde was busy making her rounds. In this clip for example, she describes then presidential candidate Biden as not being the “utopic answer” for #BlackVoters.
During a Bioneers panel discussion on “racial justice efforts for the Biden Admin,” @MutaleNKonde speaks on her company’s role in the #VoteDownCovid campaign to counter #VoteDownBallot voting strategy.

“..unless the parties met certain demands. & we found that to be a threat.”
Here @MutaleNKonde admits that @MoveOn approached her company (AI for the People), in researching groups targeting Black Voters & telling them not to vote.

After discovering the #VoteDownBallot effort, championed by #ADOS, Mutale claimed 60% of accts they studied weren’t human.
@MutaleNKonde Mutale NKonde went on to become the lead author of “#Disinformation creep: ADOS & the strategic weaponization of breaking news.”

However, the smear was retracted after 184 days of applying pressure on @Kennedy_School, post release of #ADOSAF rebuttal.
#CrimsonSmear
Per Science.org, about 4 in every 10K papers are retracted! The silence from Black publications & #Media is deafening, even after #ADOSAF pushed @ShorensteinCtr to retract their smear.

This is story should be setting the news wire on fire!

@StanfordEng “How to get more truth from social media”
“But retractions remain relatively rare: Only about four of every 10,000 papers are now retracted. And although the rate roughly doubled from 2003 to 2009, it has remained level since 2012.”

Key takeaways from @nhannahjones most recent event w/ @angela_rye:

a) “I’ve been studying this for 20 years”

b) “I don’t believe we’ll ever get justice in this country”

c) “I’m a bad b*tch”

In addition to her continued lifting & usage of Yvette Carnell’s political talking points & reactionary commentary, she kept referring to slaves as “Black people” & asserted that anti-Blackness & plunder is a “global fight.”
#Reparations #LineageImage
The Q&A was limited due to time constraints. This gentlemen’s question was on what’s great for Black folks in the U.S. (missed his full question)…

@nhannahjones replied by repeating @BreakingBrown verbiage on the willful participation of African kingdoms in the Transatlantic Slave Trade & their specific selection of slaves. Then immediately attempted to use that specific harm imposed on ADOS to assert our fight in America is global, followed by a sawed off quote from rapper T.I.

"Imagine what the continent would have been like, if they had not extracted 13 million of your strongest, right.. They weren't taking elderly people.. They were taking young people, right. Had you not plundered all of the resources."

"The Caribbean is Black bc of slavery... Anti-Blackness is global, the theft & plundering of Black people is global.. So what we have to do is build the place that we want to see, bc I don't know that it exists."
Rather than highlighting the SCOTUS's account of how the over inclusiveness of #AffirmativeAction essentially lead to banning race-based admissions, & green lighting race-neutral (such as lineage-based) policies moving forward will be the best pathway to legislative remedy in the US.. @nhannahjones & @angela_rye compared Justice Barrette & Justice Jackson's treatment prior to be appointed, & repeated another set of @BreakingBrown talking points..

"To me merit is, you put me in a segregated neighborhood. You put me in a segregated, failing school. And some how I was still able to get into this school, I deserve to be here. It ends when they end it, we don't have the power to end it. They end it, so ask her that... Girl, that made me mad."

This attorney’s intentional conflation continued w/ this post below, where she highlighted an alleged serial scammer who once claimed to be associated w/ BLM.

That alleged scammer has no affiliation w/ ADOS whatsoever. Many have blocked that individual.

@LegalAidNYC Now that this @LegalAidNYC staff attorney @msolurin is attempting to renew years old false associations, she has encouraged others to renew debunked libelous accusations that were made against the ADOS founders & supporters.

This is very telling behavior, especially coming from… https://t.co/R4xqtSXN18 https://t.co/XbMM1xZXCYtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Mayor Bass, the colors & style of the graphic you’re using is incorrect, & does not accurately represent #JuneteenthDay.

Y’all still following the #ToryLanezTrial? Meanwhile..

“#WellsFargo agreed to a $3.7B settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over customer abuses tied to checking accounts, mortgages & auto loans, with some of the misconduct happening as recently as this year.”
“The company was ordered to pay a record $1.7 billion civil penalty and more than $2 billion to customers with 16 million accounts, the #CFPB said in a statement.”
#WellsFargo

cnbc.com/amp/2022/12/20…
“"Consumers were illegally assessed fees and interest charges on auto and mortgage loans, had their cars wrongly repossessed, and had payments to auto and mortgage loans misapplied by the bank."”

Did #Reparations save the Jewish community? 🤔

#StopAntiBlackAmericanHate Image
This was a show to “debate” callers’ #Reparations arguments. Not only do the hosts lack historical context on anti-ADOS discrimination codified into American law & the data, they believe we’re only owed $2.1T.

Every rebuttal was based on racist stereotypes & bootstrapper beliefs
A prev caller tried to quote Antonio Moore’s data on the % of Black immigrants in the US prior to 1965 & JT said he was very familiar w/ his work.

He proceeded to responded to almost every caller w/ anti-ADOS rhetoric & repeated how financial literacy is needed.🥴

Mr. #FletcherAnderson, founding member of the Bogalusa Deacons for Defense chapter, speaks to why #DeaconsForDefense were needed to protect Negr0es in #Louisiana.

“The police were not there to protect us, they were there to protect the Klu Klux Klan.”
#BlackHistoryMonth #ADOS 🇺🇸
Mr. #FletcherAnderson & wife Mrs. #CynthiaAnderson were known for their local advocacy, & fought to advance & protect the Negr0 #politics

“Just about everybody on the street. They lived in the same house, but they had ‘em voting in different districts.”

#BlackHistoryMonth #ADOS
Mr. Fletcher worked at the Crown Zellerbach paper mill & Mrs. #CynthiaAnderson was an educator in the St. Tammy Parish school system(& a #GramblingStateUniversity grad).

Mrs. Anderson saw how racial bias was infused in alt teaching methods after desegregation.
