One thing that comes up over and over in left wing politics (actual politics, like campaigns, legislation) is that the left doesn't seem to value winning above all else. They value purity spirals, aesthetics, etc. https://t.co/AlGtDEUDp0

a mini documentary titled "Imagining Abolition” soon to be released by BLM as "documentation" of their movement:

A movement needs to be documented.

Without documentation, we risk erasure of the incredible work being done to eradicate oppressive systems.
Soon we'll be releasing “Imagining Abolition”, a mini documentary that captures a piece of Patrisse Cullors' impact.

Stay tuned, y'all. pic.twitter.com/shEiIqXFBP

continuation of thread, added for the familiar list of lingo in the last tweet:

Basically there’s a large and growing contingent of young people who have been persuaded that the unavoidable vicissitudes of daily and working life constitute unbearable oppression

It’s good to speak out against powerful and sadistic bullies like Scott Rudin.

It’s not good to act like people getting different salaries for varying levels of responsibility and seniority is “harm”

We basically handed a nuclear arsenal to every entitled shirker in America and are surprised when stuff blows up https://t.co/Sh4YY3sMms

After almost 8 years, we say see you later to the last of our founders, Patrisse Cullors, who's served BLM whole-heartedly. We reflect on the impact Patrisse had on BLM, & we are in deep gratitude.

Patrisse, we are in awe of you always. #ThankYouPatrisse pic.twitter.com/MOWP38DYpT

Average price home in Topanga Canyon is $1,450,000; median listing is $1.3 million, median sale price $1.6 million. Are all of these "luxury"? LA median home price is $1 million.

of note from the article

The BLM Foundation told AP in February that it had raised $90m (£63m) amid last year's racial justice protests following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The foundation said it ended 2020 with a balance of more than $60m, after operating expenses, grants to black-led organisations and other expenses.

and

Conservative critics - but also some black activists - called for an investigation into whether Ms Cullors had used the organisation's funds to enrich herself.

that

Ms Cullors appeared to hold back tears as she told the Black News Channel last month that suggestions of financial impropriety against her were "categorically untrue and incredibly dangerous".

but

The grieving parents of Michael Brown and Breonna Taylor - two African Americans whose deaths at the hands of white police officers were often cited by Black Lives Matter - last month reportedly complained the organisation had done nothing to help them.

and also that some social media banned this story, which I find kind of ridiculous since real estate sales and ownership are public record

Last month the New York Post reported that Ms Cullors - a self-described Marxist - had bought a $1.4m luxury home in Topanga Canyon, near Malibu, and owned three other homes, including a custom ranch in Georgia.

Facebook banned users from sharing the story, citing privacy concerns, and a black journalist said he was locked out of his Twitter account after he posted the article.
