@ImDavLewis I spoke to Kim this morning. She never reached out to me previously, but a cousin had tried to reach out to a staff member. Last June, when we first learned of what happened to Javier, we not only posted about it, but made sure that the DA we helped elect would move forward.

Never, once on God's earth, from the start of the Black Lives Matter Movement until this very moment, has a single family or person ever said I raised a penny for them that I kept. It has literally never happened. Or almost happened. Or kind of happened. Complete lies. https://t.co/q9lDxXAQT6
Last year, a firm did a study that found that for over 500 different people on Twitter, the single most shared tweet they ever wrote, was a negative tweet about me. Most weren't critiques, but lies. Since those tweets are popular, they keep sharing them. It's addictive.
@HariZiyad You literally don't know a single thing about my dear mother, who I love with all of my heart, and who she was with in 1978, and the conditions of my birth, and life. That you pretend you know, because it gets you clicks, is disgusting.

RT @salesforce: A person’s right to cast their ballot is the foundation of our democracy. Georgia HB 531 would limit trustworthy, safe & equal access to voting by restricting early voting & eliminating provisional ballots.

RT @daeshikjr: I promise you my AAPI Community—the answer is not more cops. The answer isn’t more assimilation. The answer isn’t to become more white adjacent. The answer isn’t anti-blackness. The answer is dismantling our internalized oppression, class solidarity, and ending white supremacy.
RT @LeftSentThis: On this day, March 16, 1991, at the age of 15, Latasha Lavon Harlins had her life taken away from her. She was shot and killed at Empire Liquor in South Central, Los Angeles.
