Receive final engagement plan of Dreams for RPS 2.0. Added living room chats, alumni chats, REA conversations, locations in each board member district. Young proposes to approve. White - how many of the 10 dreams for RPS 1.0 goals did we accomplish this year? JK- not fully prepared and data still being gathered. After pandemic all divisions had setbacks. Setting new baselines. White- since we don’t have data what will be different since we’ll have less?

A reminder that this FB live event from @VCUHealth @VCUPharmacyCPPI is in a few hours. If you have #COVID19 or vaccination concerns, let EXPERTS answer your questions. Our community's health is of the utmost importance.🐝 VCU Health is using Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. You gotta get 2 doses of the vaccine. So they give you a card to keep up with it. Also, you can't get one shot of Pfizer and the 2nd dose of Moderna. Just FYI. 🐝

ICYMI: Racist ideology dies hard & runs deep...the same judge overseeing both cases to block the removal of the monuments is the author of racist op-Ed from 1977 @urichmond newspaper, The Collegian. 💄courthousenews.com/virginia-judge… Here’s the actual text of the op-Ed entitled “What Does U.S. Life Offer Me?” penned by then senior & editor Brad Cavedo. 1/

#RVA proposed Pamunkey Casino storyline takes on a very Richmond twist... #BlackDelegation 🗣what say you? 💄m.richmondfreepress.com/news/2020/feb/… “The tribe’s history of white supremacist policies & practices -though sharply disputed by tribal Chief Robert Gray -have largely flown under the radar during this session of the G.A. and went almost unnoticed during the tribe’s long years of applying for federal recognition.”

🚨 #RVA Who has been following Michael Hild’s Live Well Financial debacle? 🙋🏽‍♀️ 💄 has & today I’ll spill the ☕️ since yesterday a Delaware judge ordered the #chesterfield based mortgage company into Chapter 7 liquidation after several creditors filed petitions in early June. So 1st lets start with the basics...husband & wife developers Michael & Laura Hild should be names many of you already know. They’re known for flipping and redeveloping big chunks of property around RVA, the bulk in #Blackwell area, both residential and commercial spaces.

Literally the one time I assume it’s South Side Community Center on Old Warwick.... the meeting is at the community center Southside Plaza. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, at the right place. Rezoning information session thread starts here. 🧜🏻‍♀️ We are about to get started at the public information session. Dr. Shadae Harris, Chief Engagement Officer, is kicking things off.

“We are doing this with you, not to you.”

Additionally says the Office of Community Engagement is open to feedback on engaging the community.

Woke up to a research challenge from Mike D.

Holding up data to justify racist statements doesn’t make it OK to hold racist beliefs. Data ignores the systemic white supremacy that was put in place to maintain the socioeconomic disparity so white people can maintain power. 1/10🧜🏻‍♀️ For example, here Mike “Dinesh D’Souza” D blames the lack of black fathers pointing to data.

You can’t fix a problem by focusing on just outcomes. You get to solutions by addressing root cause.

What is the reason for the disparity of lacking a consistent father figure? 🧜🏻‍♀️

Last month we broke the news on twitter that @_PaperMoonSS had booked a show with Roger Stone. Since then, people have called for it to be cancelled and national media has covered the event.

W/ the event a few days away, I want to emphasize safety concerns w/ this event.(1/24)🧜🏻‍♀️ Shortly after my initial post last month someone reminded me of Roger Stones connections to the violent far-right neo-fascist group known as the Proud Boys.

Similar to @TheNationalRVA hosting #BLEXIT, @_PaperMoonSS hosting Roger Stone has serious safety concerns. (2/24)🧜🏻‍♀️

I haven’t dug into the details yet but I am so grateful that #RVACouncil found compromise at some level and were able to reach an agreement on a budget that prioritized funding for @RPS_Schools and a number of other key initiatives. Thank you for finding a path forward. (1/?) 🧜🏻‍♀️ I know it wasn’t easy but I really appreciate that at the end of the day #RVACouncil pulled together and found a middle ground that maintained funding for several priorities. It ain’t perfect but neither was #RVAMayor’s proposal. (2/?) 🧜🏻‍♀️

Coming to a Virginia late-term abortion debate near you: Kermit Gosnell as a talking point and example.

The movie they screened at the White House is called “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer.” (1/? 🧜🏻‍♀️

theroot.com/trump-to-scree… Kermit Gosnell did absolutely horrific and reprehensible acts. If you look into his case, be prepared for some graphic content. Gosnell and this movie is an example of material republicans will use to craft extreme messaging. (2/? 🧜🏻‍♀️

...am I really walking to The National right now to report back on Blexit? 🧜🏻‍♀️ Seats mostly look full. There was a movie to start.

Now Candace Owens is opening saying this is a 90s vibe b/c it didn’t feel like it used to be like this. Cited growing up watching Huxtables, the Jeffersons, etc. She wanted to be a doctor, not like Mike.

Wait.... is the Lost Cause narrative just an extremely successful example of a crisis communications strategy’s re-branding campaign?

...and confederate sympathizer groups are just extremely successful PR firms? (1/10) 🧜🏻‍♀️ The Democratic and Republican Parties are just two branding campaigns that happened to go, and stay, viral. Think of every presidential campaign slogan as a new product line that has been released.

Country First.
Change We Can Believe In.
Stronger Together.
MAGA. (2/10) 🧜🏻‍♀️

THREAD: seeking info‼️

On the same day as a white supremacist torch rally, Scott Phelps reportedly left a note on a receipt in Charlottesville directing people to a Neo Nazi website w/ an allusion to Hitler (88 = HH).

His wife ended up winning her school board election. 1/? 🧜🏻‍♀️ I had forgotten about this incident until recently someone mentioned she won her School Board election and I pulled this thread back up.

Did a little research to see what the Phelps are up to within Spotsy government which continues in thread below. 2/? 🧜🏻‍♀️

Do we have better things to do?
YES.
Is this some bullshit?
YES.
What do we want?
EQUAL RIGHTS!
What do we want?
A FLOOR VOTE!

#VirginiaERA #RatifyERA #RatifyERAVA 🧜🏻‍♀️ First speaker is talking about the power of words. How we describe ourselves. How we describe sex.

You aren’t bossy, you’re confident.
You aren’t a slut, you’re exploring your sexuality.

Use language to take back control of your narrative. 🧜🏻‍♀️
