The real story isn’t the lawsuit being filed by the victims but how this extreme civil rights violation occurred in the first place & is being shielded by Mississippi authorities.

No one’s civil rights are safe in Mississippi.

🧵 1/5
On the night of Jan. 24, six white Rankin County deputies came into the home of Jenkins & Parker - proceeded to handcuff & beat them, tased them repeatedly over 90 minutes, forced them to lie on their backs as the deputies poured milk over their faces.

The men said deputies… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The MS Bureau of Investigation confirmed a deputy shot Jenkins, but hasn’t identified the deputy or released other details about the case.

The Sheriff Dept hasn’t said whether a weapon was found at the scene or if they obtained a search warrant. There’s no bodycam footage. 3/5 Image
Jenkins & Parker just filed a lawsuit seeking $400 million in compensatory and punitive damages. Reminder; Jenkins lost his tongue and can no longer speak.

4/5
 independent.co.uk/news/ap-missis…
Automated Taser records obtained by The AP show that tasers were turned on, turned off or used dozens of times during a roughly 65-minute period before Jenkins was shot.

A DOJ investigation is underway.

The struggle for democracy is real in Mississippi‼️

Mississippi had only 32% voter turnout in the 2022 midterms — the lowest in the nation. If we’re going to #SaveMississippi we need more folks to vote. But there’s a lot to overcome.
🧵
Mississippi has the highest percentage of Black residents in the country at 39%. Meanwhile White Republicans have had total control over state government due to voter suppression policies dating back to Reconstruction. #SaveMississippi

Mississippi has one of the most extreme felony voter disenfranchisement laws in the country. #SaveMississippi

Voting rights are permanently taken away without recourse. That leaves over 10% of adults in the state, the highest rate in the country, impacted as of 2020.
That… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Who’s awake and why?

Me: for the pomp and circumstance.
#Coronation Image
2:30 AM watching from LA.
Coffee with my homemade scone. I remembered the clotted cream.

Apologies…not a tea drinker.

Apparently a royal F up has occurred. William and Kate are late, while King Charles and Camilla are early. Oops. #Coronation

🧵
If the LAFD was late to your 911 emergency fire call it could have been because a firefighter made off with a LAFD cellphone, used it to solicit a prostitute while on duty, then abandoned his dispatch, drove to a hotel near LAX & had sex with her before returning to work. Image
Or maybe it was that time an L.A. firefighter drove with a blood alcohol level nearly 2½ times the legal limit, resisted arrest and committed battery on a cop.

Or maybe it was when an LAFD captain was busy kicking a homeless man in the head with his steel-toe boot while the man was lying motionless.

All true incidents and none of them resulting in termination. In fact, disciplinary procedures dragged on for so long that some… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵Election season is coming so let’s chat about candidate donations. The ones we’re led to believe are for the candidates.

I’ll use @Disrupt_Corrupt as an example. Check out this post (screenshot). At first glance, it looks as though if you donate money it will go back to the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Disrupt pumps out tons of Tweets for different candidates. The Tweets state something compelling about the candidate and an ask for a contribution. If you go to the FEC filing (more on that in the 🧵), you’ll see that none or little of that money goes to the candidate. If you’re… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
If you hit the ActBlue link on their tweets, you can see donations go to Disrupt (left), not the candidate (right) from the candidate’s Twitter profile ActBlue link).

🧵 People who spread the notion that trans is a choice are actually spreading hate. People who try to silence trans voices are enacting in hateful conduct.

I’m having trouble understanding why some are so hateful to the trans community when they are harming no one.

My sister had a dear friend who was murdered years ago. In Hollywood CA. She was trans.

My sister was heartbroken & shared her story with me. She told me that she honors her birthday even after death. Her murder was never solved & we believe that the police didn’t really try… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This was before I was trans aware. But I still felt the heartbreak to my soul.

I have since educated myself & learned that some men who have sex with trans women become enraged, followed by abuse and even murder. Because their manhood was threatened? Perhaps that was what… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
