The RICO charges will not stick, but I still need to pay rent, electricity, & food.
I do not know if my charges have affected my hireability, but this is one of the longest stretches I have been w/out a job.
Please consider a tshirt to help me & the kid

My sister-in-law is skipping virtual kindergarten with my niece, instead, they are gonna raise chickens. A year of pandemic schooling will be lost, in favor of life.
I'm unsure when my

comrades & I are due in Atlanta to be mugshot & rearrested on RICO charges, but last-minute flights & lodging are not cheap.
Please consider buying a t-shirt, or dropping some coin in my

This mom is one of 61 "Cop City" activists accused of terrorism and the same RICO charges Trump is facing in Georgia. In
@EVYSTADIUM
's exclusive interview, Priscilla Grim talks being jailed for protest, and why America's "freedom of speech" is only afforded to some.
When I returned from Dekalb County Jail, I wanted to let the world know how horrific conditions inside were for the most vulnerable people.
Many have read the piece I wrote for
@scalawagmag
. It was written a few days after returning home to Brooklyn.
I designed all the t-shirts, which reflect my post-incarceration brain recovery.
I made this one from a slogan I wrote on paper that I stuck to my cell door, facing outward, after someone attempted to unalive herself.
@spencerbeswick
Comrade, your efforts did not fail. Your work shifted engagement in ways so profoundly powerful that the state is inventing new ways to squash dissent.
The last design I'm proudest of as it honors the moral center and the pace of the
#StopCopCity
movement.
Tortugita was a believer in nonviolence, as is reflected in this interview.

Fully examining my health with a doctor, so I can make a plan to stay in the best shape possible and be the best aging matriarch possible for my daughter and her future.

#ATL61
mugshots because many of us were smiling or grinning.
We looked so unbothered that the milkshake fascist made the observation part of his blog title about us.
The people of Atlanta will win.
Black Panthers, Boricua Independistas, and other fierce freedom fighters faced RICO charges, thrived & survived, as I and my
#StopCopCity
comrades will, no matter the outcome.
I ask you to use your power to do the following:
1 - Fix this dashboard to reflect the actual reality of COVID in NYC
2 - Reinstate the mask mandate in public transit and all public indoor spaces
3 - Use city resources to provide free N95 masks to the public.
The second t-shirt I designed reflects two of my obsessions,
#graffitti
&
#love
, essential ingredients to the most beautiful society, in my mind.
It's also simple and almost an exercise in design. I forced myself to make things to practice my skills.

@HeyNell
Loaded guns were pointed at an entire train car of people. We have every right to be upset and demand dismantling an institution doing nothing at the moment but criminalizing poverty and used as gatekeepers to needed resources.
In the
#StopCopCity
movement, we will win a new reality for the people of Atlanta, and the people of the United States, who are the most caged, brutalized, policed, and surveilled people in the world. We will win because we are grounded in love for all in the natural world.
In visiting the page from week to week over the past few months, I noticed two things:
1 - Historical data, week over week, month over month, is not present.
2 - The numbers I remembered seeing the week prior did not match the descriptions of “decreasing” or “stable.”
The time I was incarcerated was the longest I have been offline since the 90s. It was the worst digital fast. Zero stars, do not recommend. Even with access to the jail ipads of
@SecurusTech
, I could not research or use the word processing tools of the web.
I'm in Atlanta as I was threatened w/reincarceration if I did not show up to be processed at Fulton County Jail for the RICO charge.
I have been here since Thursday, waiting.
To fill my time, I have been walking around

Related, in the children's story of the turtle and the hare, the turtle stays the course and continues to move along, as the hare wastes time and mocks the pace of the turtle.
The reporting tool does not reflect this reality and is dangerous, intentionally misleading the public on the risk of becoming sick, again, from preventable pandemic exposure.
Boricua life on the mainland is an unusual existence.
I love the island because there, I am just me. No one ever tries to classify me or put me in a box.
I'm only shamed for my terrible Spanish, which I accept.
On slide 3, you will see that the daily average of deaths, at 8, is marked as “decreasing” from the week prior, which is incorrect, as the week prior daily average of deaths was 5.
In NYC, I am told I am white, to which I always respond, news to me, the first half of my life, in the South, I was always classified as, and called the same racial slurs, as my Black comrades.
Now I have proof.
I am here today because I have been following the COVID 19 data page on to inform myself and my household about the levels of risk of COVID infection in day-to-day life.
1/ The NYPD has ramped up criminal enforcement of low level quality-of-life violations such as public urination and drinking under Adams, despite a law that categorizes these as civil offenses.
Of tickets where race was noted, more than 90% went to Black and Hispanic people 🧵
I just spoke with the owner of
@GranProspecHall
, and he has, just a few hours ago, broken the contract for the NRA event, originally slated for April. He said to me, "We are about smiles. We do not want our neighbors to be upset." <3
#MarchForOurLives
On slide 10, you will see that the hospitalizations are at 87, and on slide 11, the data from this week, we have 94 hospitalizations, yet the data is quantified as “decreasing.”
These three simple asks will help us work together to prevent further pandemic illness, prioritize public safety, and protect the most vulnerable of New York City with a culture of care grounded in the data of scientific observation.
I want to go on record as one ready to testify to the cruelty of Dekalb County Jail.
Because the ancestor Zora Neale Hurston wrote, “If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.” 🧵

T-shirt sales are helping me travel and pay for living expenses while I work to beat these ludicrous charges. GRACIAS comrades!
