#a2council If a framework preserves racial hierarchy, police power, capitalist extraction, and the legitimacy of empire, then it functions as white supremacy—regardless of its rhetoric.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

#a2council can't tell us what percentage of the city budget is spent with Black owned businesses because it's illegal. Got it.

If you’re wondering why Ryan Coogler and Sinners have been quietly snubbed all year by Variety, Deadline, Rolling Stone, and The Hollywood Reporter, there is a reason.

#a2council posted a “perfect score” on LGBTQ+ inclusion.
So what’s the score on #a2BlackClimate?
Is there one?
If inclusion can be measured, so can Black outcomes: health, education, housing, wealth, jobs, policing, displacement.
Equity without metrics is branding.
What’s AA's #a2BlackClimate score?

Kodak’s Shirley Cards made white skin the default, leaving Black and brown people underexposed. Ann Arbor City Council works the same way: policies calibrated for whiteness, then surprise when Black folks disappear from the picture. That’s systemic racism. #a2council #a2BlackClimate

First off, the good news: The world is a much better place than it used to be, especially for young children.
And now, the bad news: After decades of progress in preventing child deaths, the world is now going in the wrong direction in the very worst way imaginable.

Can #a2council justify the expense of operating two (2) golf courses in the city limits?
116 acres of land close to highways, schools, shopping bus lines and hospitals could be put to much better use.
BTW, 1925 Ann Arbor wasn't the most equitable place for housing.
