The Iraq War, Hurricane Katrina, etc., really helped shape some of my adult political views. 2021-08-06 11:51:10 @alexhanna Hard to believe there was ever any point in my life that I even half-way sought out the gov't's narrative on things. Luckily I wasn't too far gone, but I wasn't that politically conscious at the time either. 2021-08-06 11:48:19 @alexhanna I was in my 20s and remember how powerful the propaganda was. They played on fears and fed these narratives of perceived "unity" 24/7, alongside televised bombings. George Bush to the rescue. I was so invested in learning more, I bought and read the 911 Commission Report. 2021-08-06 11:28:26 Me looking at everyone who voted no on Prop P. https://t.co/LpvFxHQVMu 2021-08-06 11:24:24 RT @PromiseInstUCLA: There is so much more to say about facial recognition, police surveillance and entrenched racist structures than fits… 2021-08-06 00:09:19 RT @evan_greer: not everything that's illegal is bad. not everything that's legal is good. amazing to me that in the year of our lord 2021… 2021-08-06 00:03:07 @shannonmattern Thank you.

But, thanks again. 2021-08-05 21:18:04 @AnndWhat You were doing such a great job trying to keep up with everything. I decided to delete my comment and let it go. 2021-08-05 21:07:06 @BryceHuffman313 In person meetings make it more difficult to shut folks up and disregard public comment, but they do figure out how to do it because they're in headquarters and can have folks arrested if they want to. 2021-08-05 21:02:12 @BryceHuffman313 Today I was able to get through my comments without interruption. 2021-08-05 20:58:20 Ugh. They called on me anyway. 2021-08-05 20:56:33 @BryceHuffman313 I hope you feel better. Also, do you notice how much favoritism they show to Bernice Smith? A strong advocate against Prop P. On most of the billboards. 2021-08-05 20:54:09 @BryceHuffman313 Can you hear the others? Or are you in person? 2021-08-05 20:53:11 @BryceHuffman313 And every time I make a public comment they unmute others so my comments are interrupted. They do it to others who oppose their actions as well. 2021-08-05 20:51:13 @BryceHuffman313 I'm years in and totally numb at this point. And I can't even imagine subjecting myself to in person attendance at the real-time crime center/police headquarters any more. 2021-08-05 20:49:30 @BryceHuffman313 So they can mock everyone when it's done by laughing while not having to address any of our comments as they call for an immediate adjournment. 2021-08-05 20:48:19 Also, for those who are curious, you have to have a lot of money if you wish to attend the NACOLE (national association for civilian oversight of law enforcement) conference, virtually or otherwise. Here's the link: https://t.co/vclOBcd5bA 2021-08-05 20:44:47 I have decided at the last minute to refrain from public comment this week for my well-being. 2021-08-05 20:22:04 I listened to several commissioners (the actual oversight body of police) try and make excuses for police brutality, even as the chief himself states that the behavior he saw recently was unacceptable. Ridiculous that these "oversight" folks have our lives in their hands. 2021-08-05 20:20:39 @mhersonhord They absolutely fear the children rising up for liberation and justice. 2021-08-05 20:17:41 I find myself sitting here regularly waiting on a commissioner to ask the chief, after listening to "crime" stats every week, to provide justification for continued use and expansion of project green light and facial recognition if it is not impacting crime. It never happens. 2021-08-05 20:00:02 At some point I have to stop torturing myself by attending these Board of Police Commissioners meetings. I'm obviously a glutton for punishment. 2021-08-05 18:39:55 RT @evan_greer: THREAD: The Biden admin has been talking a big game about being "tough on Big Tech" and Silicon Valley monopolies.

I can perfect my lane. It gives me hope to know that there are many somebodies doing something to make the world a better place. 2021-07-28 19:39:57 What does it mean to declare racism a public health crisis while consistently funding and supporting racially unjust policies.

They are currently exploring other methods for the COVID-19 vaccine as well. 2021-05-24 23:37:49 @tundeolaniran @jentrification It's confusing. Sometimes the same. Sometimes different. Depending on how the term is used. However, you are on point. Definition from the CDC. 2021-05-24 23:36:41 @tundeolaniran @jentrification "Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.

This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation." 2021-05-24 23:32:37 @jentrification @tundeolaniran I guess I got what she was saying. Her comparison is between immunizations and vaccinations. Shot can be used for all of them. It's just the process of administering the chemicals. It's typical conflating. Like when folks call all tissues Kleenex, or call a CPL license a CCW. 2021-05-24 23:28:15 @jentrification @tundeolaniran Oh, I agree with her.

These are the same folks who let the chief serve as deputy mayor with no checks and balances. Activists, as usual, had to raise hell. It's exhausting to have to fight for every single one of your rights and civil liberties. 2021-05-11 01:39:20 @samriddle Quality of life issues need to be addressed in this city. This mentality of surveilling and incarcerating everyone is not going to make this a safer city. When the dust settles, so many folks are going to look back with guilt about what they let happen to Detroit. 2021-05-11 01:34:23 @samriddle Now this Black city is surrounded by mass surveillance while the surrounding communities are festering with white supremacists. Where is historical analysis being applied here?! 2021-05-11 01:33:03 @samriddle residents ticketed $1K for not social distancing while white supremacists all over the state went unscathed. A force that escorted white supremacists while tackling peaceful protesters, etc. I am floored at the number of Black men coming out with non-critical analysis. 2021-05-11 01:31:13 @samriddle It is insane to me that a city that is up 40% in violent crime, and up in nearly ever other crime besides burglaries, which is predictable in a pandemic -- despite millions of taxpayer dollars spent on mass surveillance and facial recognition -- a city that had impoverished 2021-05-11 01:10:25 It is energizing and re-spiriting when you get to work with folks who are also energized to work with you. 2021-05-11 00:44:07 RT @Data4BlackLives: The Crash Course episode that introduces our #NoMoreDataWeapons campaign is now available to watch on our YouTube chan… 2021-05-11 00:39:03 RT @DataedX4All: "Our tech infrastructure includes everyone." @csdoctorsister #UnitedShades #MoreThanCode s/o @ai4theppl's @mutalenkonde… 2021-05-11 00:34:21 I know I'm not the first to complain about this, but I really do not like this refresh that happens on my thread when I'm still reading stuff.

We must address quality of life issues.

I also ask that the hosts send the links around in their follow-up communication to the attendees. 2021-04-29 17:44:40 @telushk No, but my grandmother used to make me and all my cousins use the same bathwater. She would let a little out and top it off with a little warm water. We used to cry because we thought it was gross. She had plumbing. 2021-04-29 17:41:10 @GoodYve Because I am most often still using a variation of the slides in other talks. Also, I have seen screen captures and other variations of my slides circulating with no citation. 2021-04-29 16:19:54 @SteveTrush That's one of the reasons why I always drop links in the chat. And ask that they are sent around by the host after. 2021-04-29 15:33:54 @edutinker I definitely think the recorded session is sufficient for this. 2021-04-29 14:59:16 @caitteach @AlexSVenet @KendraSerra Thank you for your feedback.

I have learned to live with those, only because I'm actually doing the talking. 2021-04-29 14:11:03 @AlexSVenet @KendraSerra No, you aren't. I have experienced seeing screenshots of my slides circulating on the internet with no mention of where they originated from. And not slides that are news articles or other accessible things, but my original quotes and phrases. 2021-04-29 14:08:17 @jentrification I usually don't send them. But, was wondering if it was just me. 2021-04-29 14:07:59 @meredithdclark Thanks for your response. I'm trying to get pass the icky feeling I get when folks ask for mine. 2021-04-29 14:07:29 @KendraSerra @AlexSVenet Thanks for your answer. I honestly feel icky when folks ask me for my slides.
