I wrote about the grim reality when it comes to anti-Muslim programs. Bloomberg won't apologize for NYPD surveillance because no other politician ever has. For years, politicians implemented Islamophobic programs. None apologized. No one held accountable. huffpost.com/entry/bloomberg…

Bloomberg Doubles Down On Anti-Muslim Policy Like Too Many Leaders Before Him

Since 9/11, politicians haven't been held to account for the harmful Islamophobic programs they've put in place.

Being a white savior will not end gun violence and neither will white fragility.

Two years ago, a coalition of groups sent the following letter to @wmnsmarchla . Since it's clearly fallen on utterly deaf years with the exclusion of @BLMLA , I figure might as well make it public: docs.google.com/document/d/1… #WhiteWomensMarch

Women's March be like, "Yeah, we're making spaces for Black Women to participate, but only for our paid consultants and don't exhibit policy stances that may be too extreme for our tastes!" Same group that accused those who defend Palestinian women and girls of antisemitism. 😑

We want to remind you all of the horrific attacks on our co-founder @thethandi_way 2 years ago by @wmnsmarchla. She was 14 years old.

Yes, it’s an outrage. Be mad.

#BlackLivesMatter was excluded from the #WomensMarch this year. Maybe they should rebrand themselves the #WhiteWomensMarch. @wmnsmarchla

An investigation confirms what we already knew. LAPD has been fabricating information and putting innocent Black and Brown folks in gang databases as a result of racist police stops. Demands coming soon... #StopTheStops #BlackLivesMatter latimes.com/california/story…
LAPD: Cops falsely portrayed people as gang members, falsified records

LAPD: Cops falsely portrayed people as gang members, falsified records

LAPD told a San Fernando Valley mother that her son was in a gang. She said he wasn't. The ensuing investigation uncovered inconsistencies in officers' reports.

America is not a melting pot— It’s an extremely segregated salad held in a bowl build of institutionalized injustice, violence and genocide. It’s time for us to toss the salad and abolish the bowl.

Saying white men that kill people to make a political statement are mentally ill is a great way to avoid talking about white nationalist terrorism. Racism is not a mental illness, it’s a learned habit

Period. This is REAL intersectionality. If you can’t get with it you’re not really with the movement.

Last week police in Los Angeles shot 5 people, killing 4 of them, including #RyanTwyman and #EdtwonStamps. June 6th was one of the most horrific days in terms of police violence, but it’s not an anomaly. It’s part of a #CowboyCulture that defines LA policing. @BLMLA

They would love for us to believe that Nipsey’s death was an act of gang violence. We know the truth.
Melina Abdullah (@DocMellyMel) profile pictureMelina Abdullah@DocMellyMel1 Apr 2019
And we’re supposed to believe that someone was able to walk up to @NipseyHussle in broad daylight, in his own store with state-of-the-art security cameras, shoot him six times...three in the dead center of his head, in a congested ass part of town, and get away? #Conspiracy
