My dear brother @RevDrBarber is the closest figure we have to Martin Luther King Jr. in the American Empire. We downplay his message at our peril!
America's policies aren't just bad, they're deadly.

There’s a eviction by Caltrans in Oakland rn - despite CDC guidance that calls for a complete halt of encampment evictions during pandemic!
The wave of evictions we’ve been warned about *is already here*.
These evictions are cruel, traumatizing, and harmful for unhoused ppl.

This is our plan. It’s rooted in people power, political power, economic power. This is what we are pouring our energy & resources into. It’s ours. We exist specifically to serve injured families— not for money but for freedom. Not a law firm— a law project. A people’s campaign.

RT if you believe we need commonsense gun reform and the @NRA to stop buying off lawmakers.

No, Mr. President. We're not delaying the election. The American people are sick and tired of your authoritarianism, your lies, your racism. On November 3, 2020 democracy will prevail and your disastrous presidency will end. Bye-bye.

White people just took a pledge to do more than come out here and be cute with their signs and stay in the game for the long haul. Ending white supremacy isn’t going to happen overnight. #Oakland solidarity with #PortlandProtests #BlackLivesMatter

Last week I announced the RELIEF Act to help stop evictions and foreclosures for a year and stop landlords from raising rent.
We are on the verge of an evictions cliff and getting this passed is of the essence to help struggling Americans.

Fence is coming down in Portland after feds fired flashbangs at moms; watch @IwriteOK live stream. The moms are really holding it down despite the ammunitions fired by feds and protesters tearing the fence down. This marks a clear radicalization. #PortlandProtest #portland

The pandemic has created a looming eviction crisis that could leave millions of renters without a roof over their head. Passing my RELIEF Act is one step to ensuring that doesn’t happen.

“It’s like stop and frisk meets Guantanamo Bay.” — the escalation of violence and illegal detention of protestors by federal law enforcement during the Portland protests should enrage anyone who believes in the 1A 👇🏻 opb.org/news/article/federal…

✅Ban evictions & foreclosures for renters & homeowners for a year

I wrote in @Crosscut about why defunding the police is about Seattle ending its centuries-long battle with its own form of Jim Crow.
When the fight for "reform" takes place in literally every generation, the only way forward is some version of abolition. crosscut.com/2020/06/time-ab…
