Good morning from the criminal courts building in downtown L.A., where opening statements are due to begin soon in Tory Lanez’s felony assault trial. Lanez is accused of shooting at Megan Thee Stallion, wounding her in both feet, after shouting “Dance, bitch” in July 2020. 🧵

We should be greatly concerned that so many media outlets are reporting that the Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance has an issue with Aretha Franklin’s song“Natural Woman,” but not a single one visited the Twitter page to see that “parody/satire” are in the bio.

New Yorkers confronted Mayor Eric Adams about his budget cuts: why is he cutting ~8% from schools, CUNY, libraries, & social services, while funding NYPD overtime, misconduct, & robot dogs, & Dept. of Corrections abuse & mismanagement? Eric lied & called us disrespectful. #CareNotCuts

Hamas's attack and the events unfolding since yesterday are unspeakable. We could talk about their cruel and criminal actions, or focus on how our Jewish-supremacist govt brought us to this point. But as former Israeli soldiers, our job is to talk about what we were sent to do 🧵

Must-read from Ta-Nahesi Coates on those left out of the #DNC's diversity displays: "No Palestinian American is scheduled to address the convention from the main stage. I suspect this is because of what such a speaker might feel compelled to say." vanityfair.com/news/story/dnc…

No Palestinian American speaker yet. The DNC gave us a “No” as their decision but we don’t accept it as a final decision. Let a Palestinian American speak. Delegates are still outside the United Center and waiting to hear from the DNC about our request. We’re not done pushing.

Tell your reps: #LetPalestineSpeak at the DNC!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-y…
