Due to some of the convos I see happening, I want to share some info I think ppl should have when discussing how transformative justice & community accountability work, the history of these practices, or what they really aim accomplish. There's a lot of misinformation out there.
First, transformative justice and community accountability are not synonyms. Not all community accountability processes that address assault are grounded in transformative frameworks. Communities have been crafting processes in many forms for as long as these harms have existed.
When I discuss transformative justice, I am generally talking about a transformative framework, bc that is consist with my work/belief system. I don't condemn other processes (there are many) bc I respect community and personal autonomy. I think it's fair to expect the same.

Once Trump starts invoking national emergencies, it's a short line to all our worst case scenarios. I don't want to wind up in the back of a van, so I'm asking that we take this threatened authoritarian leap (that has now been repeated) seriously.
Trump is trying to leverage the threat of full blown authoritarianism to extract funds for the wall. Since the only smart play is to call a bluff that might not be a bluff, we need to be aware, ready and organizing.
Folks' lack of alarm about this stems in part from a lack of public awareness about national emergency powers & how scary they are, & in part from the fact that we are all frogs in a pot. We don't feel the heat for what it is anymore bc we're acclimated. That's what fascism does.

The Christmas in Tornillo encampment should be getting more attention. A creative-arts focused encampment at the gates of a detention camp holding 3,000 children. People bringing giant puppets to the fences and writing messages on stray soccer balls they kick back over the fence.
The Christmas in Tornillo effort is led by brown women. They wanted to create something generative that was led by brown women after having to repeatedly tell white folks that they shouldn't thank DHS security for their service. (I'm not kidding.)
I talked about the encampment in my end-of-the-year piece, but that was a reflection. There's an in-depth story to be told here. One that's painful, hopeful and extremely necessary. (Photo: Jimmy Betts)

As the govt continues to ignore the crisis in Puerto Rico after #Maria, I urge those affected to prepare for #Florence

It’s a Cat 4-5 & flooding is predicted.

Here’s how to prepare & what to do if you run out of bottled water after.

Please RT this thread— it could save a life.
2/
 First—listen to your state & local news. EVACUATE if you’re mandated. Don’t leave your pets behind.

I worked on the rescue efforts after Harvey & Irma. I spoke to people on dying phones who didn’t evacuate. They required rescue from rooftops.
#Florence
3/
 If you’re not mandated to evacuate for #HurricaneFlorence, see @NOAA’s list of numbers and supplies you‘ll need
👉nhc.noaa.gov/prepare/ready.…

@Firechatapp is a web app & works when cell towers go down between phones.

Prepare & have 1 gallon/day water supply for 7 days minimum.

I am half way through Omarosa's book #Unhinged. I think there have been some insights but as expected, there are far too many points where it is clear that she should have known better. I am entering the 2nd half of the book and will report back but so far:

1) Omarosa states
that she was campaigning for Hillary through a Ready for Hillary PAC outreach called Hillary for America started at Howard University (where she completed her masters) but that someone on Hillary's team dropped the ball.

This left a bad taste in Omarosa's mouth and she switched
to Trump because he asked her and because her efforts were supported with actual follow up.

2) Omarosa didn't think Trump would actually win.

3) Omarosa felt that Trump's woman problem was similar to President Clinton's and that it was typical of male politicians behaving

Response to the @OfficialAPCNg Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole by Yusuph Olaniyonu (@YusuphOlaniyonu), Special Adviser on Media & Publicity to the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
"It is rather surprising that Mr. Adams Oshiomhole is behaving like a rain-beaten chicken, crying all over the place about Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, as if the Senate President is the apparition haunting his life and the sinking ship that he captains."
"Having decided not to join the pigs in rolling in the dirt; we would not like to be involved in any meaningless exchange with the demagogue that is now in charge of APC."-#ResponseToOshiomhole
