Today marks 10 years since #OccupyWallSt. I’ll be on this thread talking about my experience, what went down and spilling some tea. And yes I will do it in chronological order. Starting w/ the summer of 2011. A thread … So I met @msmaryclinton in the summer as she told me that there was going to be a revolution that fall that we were going to occupy and asked if I wanted to go to General Assemblies every Friday and I kindly responded no thanks.

Dear Democratic leadership specifically Joe Biden,

Majority of Americans support a major COVID-19 relief package. Lots of people support & want big bold solutions for this moment. Do not allow Republicans who failed to address this crisis the leeway to make you meet them. And if the numbers and political appeal doesn’t help. Please listen to me. For over a week my grandmother has been in the hospital with a majority of my immediate family getting covid. You know what some members of my family think about??? ...

Taps 🎙 bad strategy is saying you must unite with people who want to kill you or helped attempted killing of.

There are definitely mad ways to find common ground but I guess your faves (because seriously never heard of J. D**e until a month ago) don’t understand strategy Like ok you clearly “hate identity politics” whatever cool story. But like THE LAST TIME WE UNITED WITH FOLKS IT WAS EASILY TORN A PART BASED ON RACIAL, GENDER & NATION OF ORIGIN LINES. Y’all want to repeat history or actually have a true working class rev?

Just to be clear #StimulusChecks is the BARE MINIMUM of what the government should be doing. They should be ensuring

- Everyone gets paid until pandemic is done.

- Creating long term federal jobs programs for all. #JobsAndCare

- Cancelling Rent.

It’s actually simple. This is the richest country in the world, you could have found the money somewhere. Also legit Ron Johnson’s seat is up in 2022 just saying.

One thing I’m going to be talking a lot more about is COVID how it felt, how it’s absolutely Fucked me up. Not for a pity party but let’s actually talk about the lasting physical and metal effects For one. Let me tell you for someone whose said for years Im tired, I’ll never say it again in the same framing.

September 11th was my fourth day of High School in Manhattan coming from Staten Island.

This day is painful for many reasons but to name a few.... Staten Island lost the most people per capita in the city. I remember friends waiting outside their porches for their first responder family members. when I finally got to go back to the island almost a week later

It’s RANT real loud day.

First thank you to the NYC journalists that have been reporting about this but let’s do a thread on why EVERYONE INCLUDING COUNCIL MEMBERS. Are facing retribution to supporting a real #DefundNYPD

I wasn’t just only at #OccupyWallStreet I actually put in work on the ground unlike some folks on twitter dot com. I’m also a lifelong New Yorker who grew up under Mike’s tenure as mayor. And this is a 🧵 about Michael Rubens Bloomberg 1/ Ok, so Bloomberg gets elected to Mayor in 2001, as a Republican. This is two months after 9/11 I was a freshman in high school and my school was in Manhattan (just giving you context) this is years after a Giuliani administration (Im sorry y’all)

So I’m on vacation but I see Hurricane Maria trending so I wanted to give some light to this situation. So the reporting say 4600 people died because of Hurricane Maria and I’m going to break it down for why it’s not just the Hurricane. 1. Let’s take it back with some facts Puerto Rico is a colony of the United States and has been since 1917 (Puerto rico before that was owned by Spain and there was the Treaty of Paris but that’s for a different day).
