Heads up #PDXPROTEST attendees:
@/RoseCityJustice is currently threatening people with lawsuits because they’re trying to separate from the RCJ train wreck. They also deleted a platform that was affiliated w/ them b4 those involved could change the password after cutting ties.

Filing lawsuits against black and brown people is an act of violence—you should not weaponize the state against BIPOC. Especially those who are trying to cut ties with you for actively harming them.
So, here’s my personal advice #portlandprotest folx!
So, here’s my personal advice #portlandprotest folx!
Unfollow @/RoseCityJustice on all their platforms asap.
Stop showing up to support their events.
Tell all your friends to do the same.
If you’ve EVER worked with RCJ, it’s time to realize they want clout, money and unpaid volunteers. In the interest of your safety, cut ties.

I’ve gotten word of this lawsuit bullshit from someone being targeted/threatened with a lawsuit.
Apparently the folks behind this are the current “leaders” of the group.
So, if you’ve worked with them personally, don’t talk to them again until you have a lawyer. I’m serious.

What infuriates me the most is:
Using the state flippantly.
The fact that they have 16k & REFUSED to give any $ to folks who actively supported them & tried to help while begging them to connect w/ their friends who’ve been organizing for years.
Deplatforming new activists.

I want to be clear, this decision is being made by *current* leaders.
I honestly can no longer say who tf those people are by name cause they got secretive after that call-out & when some folks left. So idk who tf is making threats.

Also want to make it personally clear: I have suspicions that the one driving force behind engaging in accountability was Kinsey, a black woman who’s brand new to organizing, dealing with toxic manipulative men and actively working to quickly unlearn govt propaganda.
I don’t have any proof of what I’m writing in this tweet & the next. Its borne of my personal suspicions.
That being said: I find it real interesting that Kinsey didnt even know who was harming people but personally volunteered to be publicly accountable via livestream.

You know how we push emotional labor into black women constantly? 
So, knowing darren’s work past & hearing things about other men involved, I think RCJ got secretive & started dishing out lawsuit after Kinsey left b/c she was a POWERFUL 1 of few folks trying to do this right

All the people who’ve harmed me and harmed others in my 2 years of full time organizing all across the country from my first opportunity to dive into this:
Almost all the harm I’ve experienced was from men. White, Indigenous, Mexican, Black.
I was too compassionate as a bb.

After a one on one conversation with Kinsey about the somewhat similar traumas we’ve gone through, her motivations, and her goals, I trust her more than anyone @ RCJ & want to see her be given a chance to work with folks not interested in harming others for clout.
Okay, this is the end of the thread. I just really wanted to explain why it’s important to de-platform abusers like the current leadership of RCJ attempting to force lawsuits onto Black people & others.
But y’all ALWAYS come for femmes first so I wanted to include that 2nd half.
