ICE raids remind us: fandom should be a safe haven. @TamikaButler bridges equity in our streets & in our stands—because belonging is a right.

I'm loving this so far. If you haven't gotten your copy yet...do it! Beyond lucky to call @ctbrown1911 a friend and someone I love learning with and from, so go grab this book! @IslandPress published another good one. And thanks, @reparationsclub for always having the books.

Still pinching myself that I’m being honored with this incredible group of women. It might be a mistake…but I’m going with it. If you have the funds, support this amazing org @cabwhp!! @MayorOfLA @YNB @nikenikla
Due to some health stuff, I can’t make the ride this year. But I’m more committed than ever to raise money for the @LALGBTCenter & support my Rider Dykes teammates. If you have a little space to give and support the queer community, please visit giving.aidslifecycle.org/par… and give!

10 Things you can do on #IndigenousPeoplesDay besides just re-share this and other posts. 🧵
1. Support pro-Tribal organizations. Donate to orgs like @NCAI1944 and @NDNRights advocate for the rights of Native people and Tribes in the Courts and in Congress.
Got to start the day with a bunch of my favorite people.
Great fun today being on a panel with @TamikaButler at the Connected Communities Impact Table, hosted by @actlosangeles , with guests from Atlanta and Chicago. We had a great discussion about how to build the political will to address our transit needs. Thank you @laurajraymond for the invite!

The officer was shot by their colleague (an officer) & passengers were injured (including a man shot in the head) because it was decided that force was required for a $2.90 fare evasion. The hysteria & lack of compassion re: fare evasion is hurting public transit more than actual fare evasion.
Earlier today, one of our officers was shot while protecting our subway system. I am relieved to report he is in good condition now, and we have arrested the suspect who put so many lives in danger. I cannot thank these officers enough for their bravery.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Note needed. What the mayor neglects to mention in this post is that the officer was shot by other NYPD officers. Those same NYPD officers shot two other bystanders in an attempt to apprehend someone who did not pay the $2.90 fare to ride the NY subway.

Gotta thank @OlufemiOTaiwo and his transformative book, Reconsidering Reparations, for framing my thinking and making sure that this is a question I ask myself every single day as I think about how I want to move through the world.

@TamikaButler Black Women have always shown up for this country even when others haven't shown up for them. We own so much to that movement.
