Charlene been gone for a while, over on bsky now

My new short film explores love and ancestral power shared across generations of Black women facing housing injustice in Chicago. Check out the trailer here: youtube.com/watch?v=gHorJx…

Admission alone is not accountability. What is she going to *do* to repair the mess she didn’t just take part in, but led. This is one of the many reasons people don’t trust abolitionist alternatives to policing and prisons. So much is allowed to just slide.

I’m salty/sad because I definitely submitted an application. But honestly more upset that this won’t be available anymore for any of us.

@reelsisters Thank you!

@CharleneCac Charlene, that's truly amazing! Brooklyn & Harlem are special places and you were destined to have that conversation with Spike Lee who btw supported @reelsisters during our very first years! Thank you for sharing — it was a blessing to screen Plenum! ❣️

Yesterday, I screened my latest film at @reelsisters. I decided to go for a walk in the neighborhood, ended up meeting Spike Lee and talked about how he’s influenced my work. I then had delicious pizza before popping into Gladys Books and wine. NYC, I will always love you.

It might be time for me to leave. That was quick.

These people bombed and killed people.

Nah, this is a drive by situation. I'm not dining in.

I've seen the same tweet about men being emotions posted at least three times.

LMBO. I came over here to bear witness to the fascist infighting.

#MarcellusWilliams faces execution on 9/24 for a crime that DNA proves he didn’t commit. Join me, @innocence, and @the_mip in taking action to prevent this irreversible injustice. #SaveMarcellus shorturl.at/elnIN

Mao* my bad yall. Cabral has been my mind.

This isn’t a direct quote. Folks should read the article. What Cabral said about ‘No investigation, no right to speak’ would serve so many of us well.

You’re right! My bad.

But, it looks like ‘48 just set off another round of explosions in Lebanon — killing and injuring more people. This is what we’re paying for and endorsing.

Just as it is a mistake to think that non-immigrant Black folks just started having anti-immigrant sentiments.

If I didn’t talk to a lot of different Black people I would be shocked about what Davis said about Black women and Harris. It is a mistake for organizers to overlook or be condescending about how many Black women are excited about Harris.

You can still disagree after you read a thing or learn more. At least it’s grounded. What happens if you don’t? What is missed? Again, I’m talking amongst *us*

People have been killed off of conflict that could’ve been resolved if they spoke to one another. So, when people don’t even bother to read an article before they start dragging Davis (or anyone) I feel grabbed.

Most of my biggest mistakes in organizing alongside others happened when I didn’t bother to ask questions first before reaching conclusions and reacting. It’s something I’ve been working to do differently in the last 6 years or so.

It’s also the frame shaped by and defined by imperial/colonial actors. I know other people have thought about this more clearly than I have.

I don’t think “terrorism” the right way to describe what ‘48 just did in Lebanon to everyday people. That frame seems ill-fitting and misleading. That was an act (within a decades long campaign) to escalate genocide, colonialism, regional, and international war.
