    Wondering why $900 million in resources still haven’t made it back to our communities—even though passed in 2020? 🤔 🧵

    Black background. Blue box surrounds the words “take action.” Bold blue and white text says “L.A> County wants care, not cages.” Smaller text says “Care First Advisory Committee Meeting” on “Thursday, May 19 at 4:00 P.M.” “Register at reimagine.la/rsvp”

    Legal experts & @ErwinChemerinsky call for a charter amendment to check any “sheriff who is openly hostile to oversight.” Villanueva retaliates against anyone who holds LASD accountable, incl. Impacted families, journalists & politicians

    LA City Council is now meeting in person. When will the open meetings to the public? They continue to call themselves "citizens voice in policing" but silence Angelenos voices.

    It’s more than “hate.” It’s evil, demonic. It’s white-supremacist terrorism. Terrorism. And it’s foundational and ever-present in this nation…until we root it out and smash every single form.

    It’s more than a “theory” when it’s used to steal the actual lives of real people…mothers, grandmothers, sisters, brothers, church deacons, loved ones…

    As bits of the life stories of those who were stolen today come out, the rage that I feel is joined by overwhelming grief. My God. Grandmothers. And mamas. My heart…my heart… What kind of world is this?

    No …white-supremacist terrorists aren’t just inspired by Hitler, Nazis & evildoers of the past. They’re also fueled by Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Donald Trump, Sam Alito, Ron Desantis…

    Here we go with the pro-cop narrative… These fools are now saying that the act of white-supremacist terrorism that shot at least 13 people, killing 10…”could have been much worse” if it weren’t for the police…who took the shooter into custody without a scratch.

    Help me understand how taking down the ’s manifesto is helpful? Denying the presence and depth of violent white-supremacist terrorism won’t make it go away.

    Simply calling the mass shooting in a “tragedy” gives the white man who shot at least 13 mostly Black people a pass. This was an act of terrorism, that finds its home in a multi-pronged, heavily resourced, white-supremacist machine.

    I don’t wanna hear anymore white folks on or any other news outlet talking about the white-supremacist terrorism that stole the lives of at least 10 mostly Black people in …offering their solutions. Black folks can speak for ourselves.
