    “Last night, 5 years after Mike Brown’s murder, Ferguson elected Fran Griffin, the first Black councilwoman to serve in the history of municipality.” Write THAT headline. Too many journalists follow me for me to pretend I’m not speaking directly to ya’ll here.

    While the media is fixated on the attempted coup in , they are completely silent on the riots in , where a government building was set on fire. That's because the president is a US puppet installed after the 2009 Obama-Hillary coup, so nothing to see here.

    The U.S. gov doesn’t want us to know the people there are still rebelling against a dictator installed by the States. They’re really busy focusing us on their attempts to install another in Venezuela.

    Hands off Venezuela.

    The States created an entire drug endemic + manufactured a war to fund a destabilization in Latin America over 30+ yrs ago and here we are in 2019 with a generation full of Black U.S. ppl with absolutely no empathy for those addicted and no solidarity with a sovereign Venezuela.

    Grief is so sudden and brief on social media. In life, it is long, nonlinear, confusing and demanding. It is remembering someone is gone every second of the day until that one you forget and the remembering takes your breath away, over and over again.

    They got all charges dismissed and I still have warrants issued by a city clerk that got fired. Fuck this.

    Police reactions white vs Black. They killed nine people. I led a highway shutdown.

    Frannie was on the frontlines of Ferguson. This woman showed up for the community + never left. For 5 yrs she strategized and organized, learning more about the “halls of power” and how to bust them open for people power to walk through. This is a well and hard earned victory.

    Incredible read. Lots of information I wasn't aware of in my corner of St Louis County. And congrats to Fran Griffin! She will be amazing as Councilwoman.
