I can't stop Detroit from misusing my tax dollars so I'm donating the amount I paid last year to fight the city's reckless lawsuit. Detroit Will Breathe Federal Lawsuit Fund gofundme.com/f/detroit-will…

It’s getting worse, much worse. And most of the 2020 fires are still burning, with half of the season still to go.

This chart of the most destructive wildfires in California history is simply terrifying.

“By failing to hold Chief Craig accountable, and reporting his statements verbatim without inquiring into their validity, the Detroit media is doing a grave injustice to Black Detroiters, who are the majority in the city.” thepulseinstitute.org/2020/09/28/det…

There is an epidemic of police violence in this country. It has not stopped under the COVID-19 pandemic. It has not stopped even as millions protest for racial justice. It is time to divest from the police.

Please stop saying the GOP “doesn’t stand for anything” or “only stands for Trump.” That is a gross understatement. This is a blatantly white nationalist party. They‘ve supported Trump since 2015 b/c he’s a white nationalist. They’ll support another white nationalist after him.

The importance of diversifying the donor base can't be overstated. Executive and board positions are filled not based on skills or expertise but by the nepotism they bring to the table. They will continue to be filled that way until the fundraising model is changed.

Detroit police shot the fourth resident this month, and once again the chief suggested anti-police rhetoric may to be blame. Not disinvestments in the community or systemic racism. You can't effectively combat violence if you're unwilling to address the root causes.

Receipts from the past three months, the quotes and headlines from a GOP Senate that hasn’t taken governing this public health and economic crisis seriously and has lead us to this cliff.

THREAD: Today's the last day of the $600/week unemployment benefits. This was completely foreseeable & avoidable. Four months of Republican dithering is now throwing 30 million+ people over a financial cliff. Here's how McConnell, Trump, and the GOP got us here.

The deployment of federal troops to Detroit as part of “Operation Legend,” which is being welcomed by Duggan and Chief Craig, is a frightening escalation of the militarization of the police. We must stand up to protect Black and Brown communities from fascism.
