#ADOS Family,
When surveying the ADOS chapters, the political education, the growing number of video & audio podcasts...we are building a media presence & possessing an increasing ability to establish *our own narrative.*
WE are doing this, together.

Now let me extend that. I continue to have & engage in conversations, all around.
There was a Medium piece that I published two days ago as a counter to Jessica Ann Mitchell Aiwuyor, but it's time to consider additional, deeper issues.
Let's explore. #ADOS (1/x)

I provided the community something to read & refute, a criticism of the charges that Ms. Aiwuyor has accused the ADOS movement of, & we know that they're all ridiculous.
We have to get beyond *that* however. (2/x)

Good late evening family. This is going to be another long one.
With this Tweet-thread, we're going to review and consider coalitions and alliances.
Let's have a discussion about when to do them, why to do them, and what to expect out of the transaction. #ADOS #ADOSAgile (1/)

An excellent prologue for a discussion on this critical issue is Kwame Ture (formerly Stokely Carmichael) & political scientist Charles V. Hamilton's "Black Power: The Politics of Liberation." 
Taking influence and cues from the Ture/Hamilton text, I will paraphrase the couple of pages for #ADOS interest: "We do not oppose the formation of political coalitions *per se,* ... But coalitions with whom? On what terms? And for what objectives?" #ADOSAgile (2/)
Good early morning family.
With this Tweet-thread, I want to share something that my pastor @KWCosby calls "Points to Ponder," key things to remember as we engage people and personalities on this platform. #ADOS (1/)

Our effort for a righteous justice claim battles much resistance & many enemies. Some of it is out of ignorance & a lack of knowledge. Some of it might well be having an interest in keeping ADOS a bottom caste in this country. #ADOSPolitics (2/)
As we deal with content consumers who may have a stake in what we are arguing for, let's dispose ourselves of the goal of direct persuasion as our goal. We have to resist the impulse to change the beliefs of people with made-up minds. #ADOSPolitics (3/)
Good evening family.
This thread is likely to get long, possibly VERY long, & it might meander a bit.
With my latest round of work, I want to have a conversation about *doing the work,* and what that means. #ADOS (1/)

I want to talk about a subject that is absolutely going to matter as we work in local chapters with engagement, or as we attend meetings in city halls or gov't venues in your state...
The power of Political Framing and language. #ADOS (2/)

A critical part of this work as we continue to mobilize & organize in this fight for #reparations and #BlackAgenda is developing a "language for liberation."
We have a moral view which is our #ADOS framework, & our demands for public policy should filter through this lens. (3/)

As we continue to engage in #ADOS justice work, we've been catching criticisms from cynics, some of them vehement, who mock us for always talking about data. "Data, data, blah, blah..."
There's a critical context argument that gets missed here. (1/)

It's critical that an ADOS Agile Activist have knowledge of what the numbers translate to (in understanding #ADOSLife), BUT YOU ALSO NEED THE NUMBERS.
Why do I bring this up? It falls back to some of the arguments going on in our world. (2/)

Many a business has failed due to very savvy & otherwise smart people making poor decisions & reactions to changes & data because they believed in feel & relationships over measurables. #ADOS (3/)
