ICE's violent assault on our state has left small business owners struggling to stay afloat.
I visited Midtown Global Market with @pressley.house.gov to meet with Midtown's leadership and small business owners to hear firsthand the challenges they are facing during ICE's occupation of our city.

I came to Minneapolis to bear witness, actively listen, to grieve and to be in community.
To demand accountability for Alex Pretti's murder.
From Massachusetts to Minnesota. We stand up for our neighbors and weβre standing together. β₯οΈ

Hey new followers,
I direct a Center for Social Change and Belonging, and I'm an Associate Teaching Prof in Philosophy, African/African American Studies, etc.
My work focuses on the intersections of race, law, education, and philosophy. I also focus on social justice, activism, and liberation.
For TIME Magazine, I wrote about how I traced my roots back to Midway Plantation and attended a ceremony where the burial ground of my enslaved African ancestors became a historical landmark!!!! This is a story about legacy and how you can NEVER erase us. time.com/7199378/afri...

Those two girls gonna do his stretch!
Lemon belongs in jail not those two sisters they arrested.
You fools fall in line without critical thinking at all.
ICE is bad but protesters got no business in church.
White people scared to call this out because its a Black man.

No job security exists anymore. Housing security has always been shaky for many years. Food insecurity has even gotten concerning for the working class which means the poor are suffering.
And a lot of the blame fall squarely in the hands of no bank bone Republican leadership since the early 2000s.
Itβs giving 1990s apartheid energy from the South African

New from me: There's some context missing from all of the conversation about Lynn Jones Turpin, the Black journalist who went viral for her words to the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach
People think consistency loud. It ainβt. It look like doing the same boring thing even when nobody checking for you.

I think this should be emphasized too. Even if you cuss at the police, hate the police, yell at the police, βget in there way,β they donβt get to shoot you in the damn face.

Not big on introductions. Iβll talk when it matter.
πNot supposed to talk about this, buuuut sometimes in our struggle about orientation, we cause just so much destruction in our families. Or even communities. Our internal angst turns into aggressive outbursts.
We sometimes start actual wars!
