In the last few years I have been incredibly passionate about, and active in, the free speech movement. In my first year at uni I founded @BrisFreeSpeech and later I was amongst the founding members of @speechchampions.

3/ I have watched in horror as dogmatic ways to thinking consolidate themselves in our educated circles and as #NoDebate replaces a culture of curiosity and open-mindedness. #SilenceIsViolence told us all how we must think as indoctrination was renamed "educating oneself".

If “silence is violence” was a day, it would be yesterday. And today I’m holding “decent” white people accountable. Decent white folks need to look at themselves in the mirror this morning and have a honest “come to Jesus” moment about their silent complicity in allowing this. 2/
mania to swell and flourish. For years now, we have pleaded with you to join us as active allies in quelling this poisonous ebb of hate, racism and injustice. This madness could not have risen to the level that we all witnessed yesterday without your silence. If so called decent

That’s what I used to say to my sons when they were still early in their language development. I still recall the frustration that would wash over their young faces mid-tantrum.

Now they’re older & frustration looks different. But those same words still hold true. And here lately? I’m also saying them to myself.
Yup.
Today, I’m reflecting on what it means to use our words.
Especially as it relates to how we #dothework of antiracism.

Like many trying to #dothework, I read this book. I’ve found a lot of @DrIbram's ideas thought provoking. Like this:
“What if we measured the radicalism of speech by how radically it transforms open-minded people? By how the speech liberates the anti-racist power within?”

In honor of #TamirRice's birthday on June 25th, I will be donating 100% of proceeds from streaming services for Silence Is Violence to the Tamir Rice Foundation. @AppleMusic @Spotify @spotifyartists @TIDAL @amazonmusic #blacklivesmatter #silenceisviolence youtube.com/watch?v=3u8enz…
Tamir Rice should be alive today, turning 18 years old, and graduating from high school. He was an innocent 12-year-old who was playing in a park near his home when he was shot by a Cleveland police officer.
The person who called the police told the dispatcher that Tamir was probably a juvenile and the gun was probably fake. The dispatcher did not relay this information to the responding officers.
It's beyond imp for all #Enneagram folks to knw of the abusive predatory behavior of #ChrisHeuertz.

But now is the time for these women's stories to be heard. Some of you will read this piece and have several thoughts that ALWAYS come up whn the issue of abuse comes up:
1) This sounds vindictive and vengeful
2) I know said abuser, he/she could never do anything like tht 2/20

3) He's married. Why would he need other women? They're so happy together
4) His wife/spouse is supporting him, standing by, denies anything ever happened, if s/he knew, they'd say something
5) The board wld've knwn but no one said anything? How's that possible 3/20
