Tomorrow morning on Bernie's agenda

[Catherina]

Real Ferguson activists out on the streets who command major respect that some JohnnyComeLately wannabes who just care about the limelight smeared mercilessly. It was just a replay of the same shit done to Cornel West but it didn't work.

This is great news.

For more about these guys

We, the protesters of Ferguson and beyond, in order to fulfill the democratic promise of our union, establish true and lasting justice, accord dignity and standing to everyone, center the humanity of oppressed people, promote the brightest future for our children, and secure the blessings of freedom for all black lives, do ordain and dedicate ourselves to this movement of radical liberation.

1. Excellent.

I have every confidence that Bernie will not disappoint.

[Catherina]

2. I'm with you. He won't.

And they won't either because they're already in tune with Bernie fight for economic justice and judging by their FB posts liking and sharing Bernie articles with hundreds of thousands of other people, I'm expecting great things. This is going to be heart to heart.

I hope they film it for future release a few years down the road.

People are already getting nasty but what else is new?

[bunnies]

4. "BLM Terror Orgaization"

Geezus. Theres a Trump supporter for ya.

I hope someone films it too. Though Im sure we'll get an idea how it went through tweets at least. Go Bernie!

[Catherina]

6. I know lol! I can't wait but we're on a roll, a good one too n/t

[Luminous Animal]

3. Yep! Saw that on Deray's twitter feed today!

(And I saw that BuzzFeed article riddled with anonymous "concern".)

[Catherina]

5. Lemme show you what kind of great stuff has been coming across my feed today

I've had mad respect for this guy ever since the CeCe McDonald case. Morehouse College Professor. CNN Commentator. Host of BET News & HuffPost Live. co-CEO of Elite Voices. Exec. Producer of For Colored Boys. Check him out here with much more detail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Lamont_Hill

A few weeks ago he said he couldn't because of our Palestinian brothers and sisters but check this out from a few minutes ago. I almost fell out of my chair



Brother Cornel tugged him over the edge I'm sure because they were both on CNN together a few days ago discussing the media's racist reporting of BLM.

8. This is great news.

I really liked him when he was reporting from Ferguson. Definitely knew what was going down in the streets.

[Catherina]

11. Oh yeah. And mad respect from the activists there too

And they wanted us to dump Brother West. *snort*

[TheFarS1de]

14. Of course they do

They have heard Dr. West speak He is one piece of political arsenal the other camp definently doesn't want Sanders to have ready access to .

[Enthusiast]

7. Kicked and recommended!

[Cheese Sandwich]

9. I was wondering when that was going to happen

I hope good things will come of it.

[merrily]

10. Thanks, Catherina. Good to know. Will be interested to see what emerges after the meeting.

[Catherina]

12. I hope we won't have to wait too long.

I'm all excited. The Bern's getting stronger everyday!

[merrily]

13. I decided backing him was worth it, just so that Americans could hear what he says.

I never expected this.

[Luminous Animal]

15. It looks like it went well. They met for an hour and stayed longer to talk with staffers

In the end, @BernieSanders' candor & willingness to be pushed re: policy and approach were evident during the meeting.

We spoke w/ @BernieSanders re: "community policing" as code for surveillance in some communities of color &, in the end, I think he got it.
