#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #NoKingsDay #FreeDC Thanks to all you democracy warriors who came out today, not just to DC, NY, Boston, and Chicago and places where you could be safe, but also to those brave folks in places like Florida, Texas, Montana, little towns in OH and in the middle of red states. We see you and hold you up. Keep fighting. Keep resisting. We can win. 1/2

Hi folks. If you are in MD or VA and with a group marching into DC tomorrow for No Kings, please stop by the #FreeDC tents. We will be there with #HarrietsWildestDreams and will have lots of information on the push for statehood for DC, KYR, reporting ICE and how to do jury service. No need to register, just drop in. FreeDC will be at the 400 block of C St, NW which is the John Marshall Park.

On a serious note, I’m proud of the work being done at #Blacksky as well as #Blackfedi. Black and Brown folks we don’t need to get caught up in anyone’s protocol & platform wars, life is already tough for us and there’s minimal spaces for us as it is. We should be turning #BlackTwitter into the combined spaces of #ATProto #ActivityPub . We need safe, fun, funny, creative etc spaces for our people. Black and Brown owned digital spaces! Where users can determine their own experiences without being dragged one way or the other regarding algorithms, full text search, quote posts, PM harassment etc I look forward to that day and look forward to contributing to that. #Blacklove #Blackpower #Tech #BlackFediverse
Shout out to all the thousands of people who came out to support our city today. We are all DC. Special shout to the out of state folks who lined our route and those that marched. We see you Vermont, Maryland and Virginia. I'm sure there were others. As the chant goes: When we fight, we win. Stay strong everyone. FREE DC!...and LA and Chicago.

If you are just following major media you may not be aware of how hard the DC residents are fighting our occupation. The mayor is NOT the representative of the residents of DC. She betrays us every single day. I'm posting my open letter to the mayor. Its too long to put in a thread, but you can read it here: https://nubiantigerspodcast.com/dc-occupation/

Just a quick message for people who are moving about in the District of Columbia. There are government agents out and about and they are arresting people. FreeDC has a "Know Your Rights" page which you can find at the link below. Be careful out there. Travel in pairs if you can. Bystanders...please film if you see abusive police conduct. Stay safe and free. https://freedcproject.org/rights

At the #FreeDC news conference a group of white protestors came with bullhorns to do their Trump message. And despite the fact we were holding a news conference, starting chanting with their bull horns about Trump instead of supporting our message. Yesterday, these "allies" were asked NOT to disrupt, and yet they did. The problem with some allies is that they cannot respect Black leadership. Don't be that kind of "ally."

Hello all, one of my favorite organizations, Interrupting Criminalization, just posted some workshops it is sponsoring this summer. During the election there was a lot a talk about socialism and its back in the news because of Mamdani. You can learn more about it this summer. Also there will be 2 workshops for journalists to help stay safe in these times, Info link: https://www.interruptingcriminalization.com/events/all

Try to watch the film. Its on Netflix. And if you can listen to Kamau on our Youtube channel, on Spotify, or if you don’t want to be tracked and targeted for ads, you can listen on our website. He drops some serious knowledge. 6/6
