The Mothers of the Movement spoke at the Democratic National Convention.
Meet the Mothers Of The Movement Speaking at the Democratic Convention
Will Drabold @WillDrabold 5:18 PM ET
Sybrina Fulton, Lesley McSpadden and other “Mothers of the Movement” will speak Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention. These mothers of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland and other African-American men and women who died at the hands of police, in police custody or from gun violence will tell their stories to millions of Americans.
The focus on the Black Lives Matter movement and the deaths of black Americans at the hands of police is in contrast to the Republican National Convention, where speakers used the phrases “Blue Lives Matter” and “All Lives Matter.”
In four years since the last convention, the movement has grown from nonexistent to active in dozens of cities nationwide. Black Lives Matter protesters regularly lead marches all over the country, most recently after two black men were killed on camera in Minnesota and Louisiana.

A whole lot in this country don’t understand either. To those who sit down and whine and say it doesn’t matter who gets elected are ignorant. It matters. Two words…Supreme Court!

The punishing marginalization and personal and political destruction of Nina Turner begins..
And only because she exercised her democratic prerogative as a responsible citizen..
The DNC and the Dem poobahs are just as evil, racist and dastardly as the repubs…especially where black women are concerned…
This is the party we are told wants us to ‘unite’…?
But clearly, only to help vote in Hillary …and then they go about persecuting folks who didn’t immediately fall in line..
https://www.instagram.com/p/BIYeDLUhi6F/

Sniff…I love Joe Biden
Leon Panetta, whom I’ve always LOATHED just aid that Hillary Clinton is the ONLY presidential candidate that he knows that is ready to lead and defend our country.
And this rat bastard served in PBO’s administration from 20011-2013. THAT WAS TOO LONG
Panetta showed his a*se long ago..
Don’t you remember his book and book tour last year…
Slating the President every chance he got, all while talking up Hillary…
You must not forget that he was Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff…
We know where his loyalties lie..
Another ‘helpful’ John Podesta ‘recommendation’..
And that Sleezy Terry McAuliffe can’t contain himself, ready to give away Hillary’s secret sauce. What a host of RETREAD character!
The same crooks…
The managed to contain and hide them away until Hillary cinched the rigged primary…but they can only contain them for so long…they are all so indisciplined…and can’t help themselves…
They can bamboozle folks, but they can’t fool God…
They will all be exposed in the end..

Haven’t even heard any mention of ‘preserving’ the President’s legacy since this convention started..
I’ve been watching all day, and only V.P Joe has really given the President props…everyone seems to be leap-frogging from what feels like a George Bush era to a potential Hillary in the oval office scenario…Very little reference to the progress made under the still current, still historic President..

FYI
http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/289498-obamas-pick-presidential-library-site-in-chicago
President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have chosen Jackson Park on Chicago’s South Side as the site of the Obama presidential library, according to multiple media reports.
The Chicago Tribune and Associated Press reported the news on Wednesday.
A formal announcement has not been made by the Obama Foundation, but the selection caps a highly competitive campaign by numerous cities to host the library.
The Obamas chose their home city of Chicago over New York City’s Columbia University, where the president earned his undergraduate degree, and his birthplace of Hawaii.
The Obamas selected Jackson Park, near the University of Chicago, over a rival site, nearby Washington Park. The Jackson Park site was thought to be more accessible than the other location.
The president is expected to use the center as a platform to work on issues such as criminal justice reform and education for underprivileged children.
The library site is located near Chicago’s historically African-American Woodlawn neighborhood, which has seen recent gentrification.
Obama has not yet started to personally raise money for the construction of the museum, archives and library complex, which is expected to cost $500 million.
The project is expected to be completed in 2021.

Forget Pence, Putin is Now Trump’s Running Mate
by Martin Longman
Wed Jul 27th, 2016 at 01:56:58 PM EST
At this point, we don’t know if WikiLeaks is planning on releasing more embarrassing and inconvenient emails or if all the emails that get dumped will be stolen from the Democrats. Perhaps some problematic Republican emails have been pilfered, too. What we do know, though, is that prominent Republicans are setting Hillary Clinton up to take the blame if more evidence of hacking takes place. Here’s RNC Chairman Reince Priebus talking on the Hugh Hewitt radio show:
Of course, the DNC wasn’t using a server in Hillary Clinton’s house, and there’s no reason to believe that her emails have been hacked by the Russians. According the forensic investigation, there’s no evidence that they were, anyway. But Priebus wanted to blame her “sloppiness” for any future thefts regardless of where they were stolen from.
Priebus denied knowing anything, but speculated on the motives of people that “like to play games” and said usually more do follow.

Ignoring the impact of PBO’s opposition on the implementation of his agenda is ignoring the very mechanism by which racism infects govt.

Marvel Universe Has A New Wiz Kid And She’s A Black Girl
Donette Lowe | July 27, 2016 – 1:33 pm
Today in #blackgirlmagic news, Lunella Lafayette was introduced at the San Diego Comic Con as the smartest person in Marvel Universe.
Moon Girl, as she has been aptly named, is 9 years old, black, and from Manhattan, NY. She wears large purple specs and rocks two Afro puffs. Lunella will be featured in the Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur comics with guest appearances from some of Marvel’s vets like The Hulk, The Thing, and The X-Men. The announcement was backed up on Twitter by one of the writers, Amy Reed.

THIS:
Samaria Rice: “Instead of plans for justice and accountability, I have been shown several plans for criminal justice reform, none that address my experience of the entire system being guilty. Those plans don’t address the many ways elected officials become exempt to accountability and the legal flaws that allow them to extend that exemption to cops who kill.”
Good for her..
Ladies, check your email.
TY so much for sharing that, SG2. A much needed spark of joy, absolutely beautiful.
We passed by her daycare and I started to stop to get a hug and kiss…. but I didn’t… :)
Such a sweet and beautiful image SG..
What a beautiful bond they share…and how heart-tugging and lovely both their innocence, uncontained love and awe for and of each other..
Thank you. I love my little Parker.
She’s gorgeous…and her innocence and endless love of life is beautiful and infectious…
So the SYSTEM used Judge Williams to punish Marilyn Mosby, for having dared bring charges against the KILLER COPS.
If he is elected, then it is time to un-elect him.
The Telegraph, the flipping Telegraph, is doing our media work for them.
The Russian-born fraudster who Donald Trump has claimed he would not recognise was a key player in several of the billionaire’s business ventures, the Telegraph can disclose.
Mr Trump signed off on paperwork which made clear that Felix Sater was one of the figures in “control” of Bayrock Group, the property firm building three developments using his name, an investigation has found.
The findings appear to contradict statements by the would-be president and his lawyer, distancing him from Sater, who was convicted for helping to lead a $40 million mafia-linked stock fraud scheme.
So…
it seems as if Freddie Gray killed himself and severed his own spine 80%.
yeah.
ok.
sure.
WHAT THE EVER LIVING FUCK!!!!

Awww, Joe is so sweet, really a nice man.
I vehemently disagree. This wasn’t a fair fight. The emails just simply support that fact with proof of what Lil’ Debbie and her buddies were up to.
And, yes, the people at the convention AND outside the convention have the right to peacefully protest. If they want to protest the nomination of Hillary Clinton, so be it.
The Democrats better not be praying for undecided voters to swing toward Hillary. That theory would be more applicable if Hillary were not already a household name. Same is true of Trump. People feel as though they know these two. What is going to happen on October 1 that turns this into a landslide for Hillary? Suddenly, a majority of voters in battleground states realize through Divine intervention that Hillary must win? God will speak from above? He will validate Hillary and declare that Trump is a Demon from Hell?
Democrats better put down the bong pipes and start banging on doors in Florida and Ohio.
SPEAK.ON.IT
We can see that RNC (VINEGAR) show attracts just as many FLIES as DNC (HONEY) show.
DOWN IS UP AND UP IS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND.
A federal judge today granted John Hinckley Jr., the man who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981, “full-time covalescent leave” from St. Elizabeth’s Hospital.
The order allows Hinckley Jr. to live full-time in Williamsburg, Virginia, but still under certain restrictions
In what country can a white man be charged, convicted, and sent to a mental hospital for attempted murder of a president, be released and sent to live with his MOMMY?
In what country can 6 cops, black and white, female, male, mangle the spine and kill an unarmed black man (KNIFE PLANTED), and a BLACK JUDGE lets them all walk free?
I’ll wait for an answer, but not too long folks!
In the words of the great philosopher Don King, “ONLY IN AMERICA!!”
BINGO!

Welcome to Emmett Till’s America, folks. Except the judge is black this time, not much of a change really.
This is why having the mothers of all those dead black boys, men and women on state at the DNC is not going to suffice.
Parading black victims and their families on stage before millions is not solving the problem. What happens after the convention?
Probably nothing.
Well, they might talk about it until the election. Then nothing will happen. No one is going to be prosecuted by the DOJ for these killings anytime soon and that is where it has to start.
Yeah and where was Samaria Rice??? If Black lives really mattered to Clinton why was she not there???? Maybe just black lives that vote for Hillary matter to her. Pay attention and wake up people. Us brown and black people are just votes… Our lives will stop mattering in November. History don’t tell no lies
@sunshine. Yes, where was the mother of a 12 year old BLACK BOY Tamir Rice with the toy gun who was shot down in 2 seconds by COPS.
Not one of these politicians or their minions will get up in front of a camera and tell the
police this:
STOP KILLING UNARMED BLACK MEN, WOMEN, CHILDREN!!!
JUST FUCKING STOP IT.
Yes; Stevie Wonder saw this coming. What a fucking farce! Judge Williams, I do hope you sleep well at night, knowing that you are complicit in the murder of Freddie Gray.
Judge Williams is an “I got mine, you go get yours” kind of guy. And he’ll do whatever to hang on to his stash and grow it larger. Well, some folks are wired like that, but he sure as hell shouldn’t be a judge.
God help us. Come quickly

Democratic presidents must have their feet held to the fire. This must end.
Actually, any president must have his/her feet held to the fire.
People cannot be swept off the street by gangs of cops, mutilated, tortured, and brutally murdered. This must end.

LOOK AT ALL THAT LIGHT.
No matter how many of us they KILL, they’ll never be able to snuff out our LIGHT.
MOTHERS OF THE MOVEMENT
#MothersOfTheMovement on stage
Had the look of tigers caged
Shared pain publicly
In full view of #DNC
Don’t have option to disengage
#MothersOfTheMovement on stage
Swallowed barely concealed rage
All lost a child
But bravely smiled
Used this 2 turn emotional page
#MothersOfTheMovement on stage
Could’ve vanished, but chose to stay
Don’t want credit
Or a sympathy edit
To join this club, a heavy price paid
#MothersOfTheMovement on stage
Some mighty deep waters to wade
Put the guns down
Keep kids above ground
Not the time to play Political games
#MothersoftheMovement on stage
Value of this image hard to gauge
Some see vindication
Others see exploitation
Worth of this meeting is revealed with age
BRAVO!!!! Double D You summed it up brilliantly.
There is no vindication for anyone, until COPS STOP KILLING UNARMED BLACK MEN AND WOMEN.
