I remember the Rodney King assault. I remember how many of us thought the footage would change everything, Finally there was “proof”. Now there’s footage everyday of police brutalizing us. This footage is in HD & often comes from the police. Nothing changes. #TyreNichols

#UnitedShades heads up Appalachia and I’m live tweeting so we can all learn together.
We was outside for real on this one.
We was outside for real on this one.
Let’s start with a few ground rules. Appalachia is much bigger and much more diverse than previously knew.
It spans 13 states and has over 26 million people (2.5 million black people) and is over 206k square miles.

This episode hinges on resisting the erasure of Black History. Throughout the episode, we traveled to BlackAF places that I had never been to before.

y'all ready to learn about inequality?
Unc @wkamaubell, @CNNOriginals and @ZPZProduction take us to South Carolina to see what decades of inequality can do to communities and show us some folks doing the hard work to protect those who need it.

We are about to start #UnitedShades #watchwithTwitty! New thread here.
#watchwithTwitty #UnitedShades New Orleans was the largest market for enslaved Africans and African Americans from 1830-1865. Every few minutes for 30 years multiple Black people on average were sold.
#watchwithTwitty New Orleans was the tail end of the Domestic slave trade...the largest forced movement of humans in American history. #UnitedShades
#watchwithTwitty hi all!
So we are about 25 minutes out from the #UnitedShades episode on slavery and reparations. I just wanted to put out a thread with some base concepts and facts so we can have a richer conversation. I want to thank @wkamaubell for this episode and conversation.
Remember our # tonight is #watchwithTwitty
#UnitedShades with @wkamaubell on CNN in Pittsburgh was powerful! Thank you to @DamonYoungVSB @SummerForPA @WasiMohamed412 @jasiri_x & @1hood for shining light on Pgh. It was amazing to see yall on national tv talking about the work being and needing done. I’m proud to know yall.
Now, what I’m very curious about is how State and local governmental leadership feel about that episode of #UnitedShades. Pittsburgh is always on some list, this episode showed list we shouldn’t want to be on. It highlighted some issues that we’ve dealt with here HISTORICALLY.
Some should be embarrassed after that side by side was shown of “Pro Gun Rallies” and Antwon Rose Protest. Everyone was holding “Pittsburgh Stronger Than Hate” signs up. Wow. How? Environmental Justice still doesn’t get the attention it truly NEEDS/ deserves here either.
FLASHBACK: This is going to be a thread about how major liberal news outlets have promoted, rationalized, and glorified the violence Antifa, a left-wing domestic terrorist organization.
Let's start with @NBCNews political director @chucktodd. He first gave Antifa a platform on his weekday show #MTPDaily. He allowed Antifa propagandist and lecturer Mark Bray to lie about the organization's roots and romanticize their violence

Three days later (August 20, 2017), @chucktodd invited Bray onto the set of @MeetThePress to debate the merits of politically motivated violence against anyone the group claimed was a "Nazi".

2. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

You do not have the permission of Congress to go to war in Iran. If you want a war in Iran, you have to come to us. It's the way the Constitution was written, and it needs to be very clear. reason.com/blog/2019/04/1…

It’s really hurtful that some people see turbans and view that as something to be afraid of.
Sikhs wear the turban/have long hair as a way to be publicly identified as in service to others. The idea is if you see someone in a turban, you’d know you could go up and ask for help.

A couple responses to things in my mentions:
1) Just because you didn’t know something doesn’t mean it’s not “widely known” or true. Read a book.
2) Comparing oppression and suffering only helps the oppressor.

I JUST SPENT OUR #INDEPENDENCEDAY re-watching @wkamaubell's #UnitedShades of America's show that visited Canada. Why? Because I needed reminding of how angry I am that the people of the United States are being conned, lied to, and victimized every day. And we're all complicit.
All you have to do is watch this one 4 minute segment of @DocDanielle discussing the Canadian health care system to understand just how Republicans, @FoxNews and the American insurance industry have been bullshitting Americans for years.
Okay, the informed know about the healthcare lie. But what about low crime rates, or humane drug treatment, or that Canadians actually like & respect one another, all while WELCOMING immigrants that REPUBLICANS—ONLY REPUBLICANS—in the U.S. have demonized as marauding invaders?
