Chicago Police knock near 80yo woman to ground w/their batons; don’t let her pick up her cane & refuse to help her up. It perfectly captures the truth of CPD at DNC.

If this is how CPD “protects & serves” old ladies in broad daylight—now you can better understand CPD’s violent repression at night #DNC #FreePalestine CPD standing over her for 20 secs is SO revealing. They seem like confused robots totally void of most basic human reaction to help an old lady up. They’re not human, but trained automatons.

(Also-my first TikTok post @chuckmodi1 at activists urging; any help2grow & hold cops accountable over there is appreciated. IDK how long I’ll last here anyway #FreePalestine #WeKeepUsSafe

BREAKING: Jewish protesters for a #FreePalestine flood rotunda of Canon Building demanding CeaseFire chanting NOT IN OUR NAME!”

Stop #Gazagenocide CEASEFIRE NOW! #FreePalestine

Most infuriating falsehood is Dr. Cornel West 4Prez is “vanity run” who did “photo op” in Ferguson.

No public figure stands w/OTG activists more—& it ain’t close. In 7/2014, it’s career suicide to be at #FreePalestine rally—worst vanity choice in history
“Photo-Op” claim doesn’t come from Ferguson activists who I watched hug the shit out of that man cuz by Oct2014 big media left but not the brutality. He used his celeb to BRING BACK cams to daily fight after world moved on. How come no one else famous wanted these “photo ops?”

“It’s the 2% time I’d agree w/DeSantis. 98% time, he’s a xenophobe & cowardly manipulator of culture wars”

Dr. Cornel West via @SabbySabs2 defines Classical Ed. “from Socrates to Toni Morrison, from Sophocles to James Baldwin”. Thread to debunk bad info:
Besides bad faith critics who said Dr. West “endorsed” Ron DeSantis or his Ed Plan, many in good faith took 1 article line out of context from his long-time support for CLT. Few cite his article LAST year citing FD & MLK after Howard dropped the classics.

0 playoff wins — OC Kellen Moore
6 playoff wins — OC Eric Bieniemy

Media: “Kellen is a genius and would be a top head coach candidate” I’m old enough to remember sports media pronouncing Adam Gase and Chip Kelly offensive geniuses. Kellen Moore exists in a long media tradition of unearned white privilege

Civil Asset Forfeiture is legalized robbery by police. And can’t stress enough the man most responsible for creating & expanding these laws is Joe Biden. Receipts coming:

“We changed the law so that.. the gov’t can take everything you own. Your car, your house, bank account... Everything”

Joe Biden lauding his creation of civil asset forfeiture laws & more in 1991. His goal is to shame Bush as not as tough enough on crime.

“Howard Housing & Corvias, the Shady Private Company Behind It”

Damning summary below by Howard Doctoral Student to help understand #blackburntakeover broader housing corporate context. Corvias signed 40 yr contract w/ #HowardUniversity in 2016. Thread: drive.google.com/file/d/1wKQ9iX… "How do we hold Corvias responsible too?"

"...the shady private company run by some dude [CEO John Picerne] who donates thousands of dollars to political campaigns and has 49-ft yacht & Palm Beach mansion full of exotic alligator & snake taxidermy?"
