@nextgenradio @NPR @stlpublicradio Is that Walter? What’s the story here? Can’t find any info these links

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

How many ppl are able to murder someone on video or in front of witnesses and not be arrested immediately? Why is the standard different for police? There’s actually no logical argument for why police are allowed to use a level of force civilians can’t.

After a 13-year-old girl in Venezuela was raped and became pregnant, her former teacher helped her get an illegal abortion.

Now, the teacher faces over a decade in prison, while the accused rapist is free, fueling a national debate over abortion laws.

I need to make it clear for those of you who aren’t from here - we don’t just have a Minneapolis police problem.

Daunte Wright was murdered in Brooklyn Center. Philando Castile was murdered in Falcon Heights.

We have a Minnesota police problem.

I keep remembering that Mitch McConnell threw Elizabeth Warren out of the Senate for reading a letter from Coretta Scott King.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We have witnessed two systems of justice: one that let extremists storm the U.S. Capitol yesterday, and another that released tear gas on peaceful protestors last summer. It’s simply unacceptable.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

With new votes joining the tally, we are on a strong path. But even while we wait for more, let’s celebrate the extraordinary organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless groups that haven’t stopped going since Nov. Across our state, we roared. A few miles to go...but well done!

We’re not asking you to shoot them like you shoot us, we’re asking you to NOT shoot us like you don’t shoot them...

Retweet if you agree that freshman Senator Hawley should NOT be seated.

The race has been called for Biden!!! Now we the citizens must ensure he works for equity, justice, economic equality, health care for all, immigration reform, environmental change, voting reforms, fair sentencing laws, and many more necessary issues that need to be addressed!!!

@RosannaStaffa Love it! Where?

Reasons women need to honor and thank RBG: obtaining credit cards, renting apartment, owning home, playing high school sports, in other words being your own person! @NotoriousRBG

[Debra Blake @Debra_J_Blake]

Friends, text RBG to 50409 or DM RBG to @resistbot on Twitter or Messenger! They'll send letters to your senators about waiting until after the inauguration to fill RBG's Supreme Court seat.

Bombshell reporting. This is propaganda over science. It is immoral, dangerous, and must be considered un-American. https://t.co/9BCqpzixij

[Bradley Whitford @bradleywhitford]

If a black or a female president had called American service men and women “suckers and losers”, do you think Mattis and Kelly would have shrouded themselves in silent cowardice under the guise of humble, apolitical service?
