🧵I see some comments from Progressives about @cspain1920 being the new SC DEM CHAIR. Here is what I DO know: Spain worked hard to organize Black ppl in SC in 2016 FOR Bernie; she organized her ass off on the GROUND not ONLINE, reaching voters & building relationships..cont After Bernie lost, I PERSONALLY & others urged leadership to HIRE her FULL TIME to continue working in SC for the movement YEAR AROUND (not just campaign season) All of the Black operatives keep screaming to the white-led progressive movement to listen to BLACK PEOPLE....cont...

Just a few OUTSIDE & INSIDE receipts about my work over the past 10+ plus years. It includes calling ppl out regardless of party, calling folks out on my front porch, at rallies & on TV. Some cuss words & no cuss words but ALWAYS consistent. Just leaving this for the trolls. 2011: In regards to hip hop, here is a track by a RAPPER who supported me when I ran for office. We secured ALL of the petitions in one night. I got off the ballot bc I realized being elected was not for me.

My answer to if Black Americans are doing enough to help #Ukraine Yesterday 👇🏾 I said I would be watching #SOTU 2C how the needs of Black Americans would be addressed (the same way Biden had a SPECIFIC message 4 Black ppl when he ran) whenever it comes down to money for Black ppl like #Reparations it's no but Ukraine will receive BILLIONS

Wow, I'm sitting here at @flyLAXairport @SouthwestAir & this white young lady runs out the door & on the tarmac trying to wave a plane down. It seems like it took the police forever to get here. If she were Black, she would be shot (with no questions asked) I'm amazed at how GENTLE #LAPD is with this white girl that ran on the tarmac at LAX (federal offense) no weapons were drawn, they brought the firefighter for medical attention

@ava PLEASE READ-A THREAD❗️Below is a photo from a #CherishTheDay scene. The Author of the book circled is @haveyoureadspud I told his story when I was on the @breakfastclubam @cthagod @angelayee @djenvy I want YOU to know that he wrote 14 books while serving time in prison 1/ 2/ Spud served time as a 1st time non-violent offender due to the 90’s crime bill. He saved my life when I was a teenager so I stayed connected with him over the years during his time in prison, he is one of the reasons why I work so hard in politics on criminal justice reform.
