NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”
The cuts:
📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)
📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)
📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)
📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

The fundamental problem with Sarah McBride's logic in the New York Times today is that the fight over transgender rights is not one where "if only we were a little less confrontational" is the driving factor.
Look at Republicans and how they treat people that even acknowledge a transgender woman.

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people:
A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died.
A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

If you were encouraged, inspired, motivated by No Kings Day, please think about what the next steps are. It cannot stop with one day of protest. We need consistent organized pressure on the pillars of support under Trump. Now is the time to level up and do the prep for a General Strike.

"First responders" needs to be abolished from style guides because its purpose is to smuggle cops into a category that includes EMTs and firefighters.
The phrase is deliberate copaganda that allows abusers to borrow an aura of respectability from other groups.

Concussion protocol at protests is important these days. Victims try to tough it out, but their decision-making is impaired.
Please understand that the lucid interval of epidural hematoma can range anywhere from 30 minutes to a full day after initial unconsciousness. Learn to spot obtundation.

We need to be better at trying to get people with head injuries from being shot to leave the protest for medical treatment. It is already hard to make sound decisions after a few rounds of tear gas add a concussion, and it's worse. I did not follow that advice in 2020. I regret it.

I'd have more patience for American flag discourse if the conversation didn't start 90% of the time with anti-Mexican racism 🇲🇽
My radical friends were saying there should be more USA flags at protests. Now there are.
And it did... What, exactly? Lmao

Thank you to the LAPD for radicalizing thousands of more people against them. Every time you tear gas people, a radical gets their wings.
Lots of people don’t want to believe it will happen at a “peaceful” protest but it does and it will.

🧵: We reported that Huntington Beach PD was in LA on the front line last weekend.
They denied it & obfuscated their involvement.
So we brought receipts.
Now we're demanding accountability & transparency from HBPD.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/
