Janelle Monae & Wondaland in SF perform Hell You Talmbout #SayHerName #SayHisName

Janelle Monae and the Wondaland crew joined local #BlackLivesMatter, #BlackTransLivesMatter peeps and families of Bay Area people killed by police at the 24th and Mission BART plaza. It was powerful to hear names from the mouths of family members and cool to see what these folks are doing to combat police brutality. Good turn out and 2 hours of stories and performances led to this.

What's the history of "resisting arrest" as a crime? I can only imagine the circumstances in which this "crime" originated.

Hillary Clinton talks down to Black Lives Matter activist

Hillary Clinton and Black Lives Matter activists had a frank and at times tense discussion last week behind closed doors, and thanks to video released Monday, the American public is now hearing exactly what the two sides said to each other.

Sourced through Scoop.it from: www.cnn.com

Hillary Clinton is Oppression incarnate.

Now I’m 100% sure she is not getting my vote.

She talked down to this Black man like he is a child.

She has no empathy.
