Derek Chauvin had the luxury to tell his side of the story. George Floyd and countless other men and women within the Black community never had that luxury.
#DerekChauvinTrial
The signing of #HB1 being signed today is a deliberate scare tactic, considering that closing arguments in the #DerekChauvinTrial started today. This was never about protecting “peaceful protesters”, it has always been about silencing a group of protesters, black & brown voices.
Ron Desantis is signing a law today that makes 9 people standing on a street a felony, denies protestors bail, and removes civil liability for running over people during a protest.
Ron Desantis is a fascist.
.@GovRonDeSantis has officially signed HATE BILL 1 into law. Some may be feeling defeated or demoralized, but it’s moments like these that make movements to end injustice even stronger. Stay strong. Stay vigilant. We stand with you in this fight together!! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
Open your eyes and unplug your ears, @SenateGOP.
We need to finally pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. And we need to finally pass common-sense gun safety legislation.
How many more people need to die while you sit on your hands and do nothing?
When 13 year-old Adam Toledo was shot in Chicago, the prosecutor immediately said he had a gun. Now, with video coming out today, the state’s attorney’s office says that was "inaccurate." They really lied about a kid having a gun to justify his murder.
Today, we will have a hearing in @HouseJudiciary on anti-Asian hate.
Today, I say these names: Delaina Ashely Yaun, Paul Andre Michels, Xiaojie Yan, Daoyou Feng, Elcias R. Hernandez-Ortiz, and many more.
Today, we say #StopAsianHateCrimes.
a white man opens fire on a spa of Asian women and somehow it was a really bad day for him?? "it is not clear if this was racially motivated"????
we are so quick to excuse white people of their crimes. racism is alive and very real. this is not up for debate.
The Cherokee County sheriff said the Atlanta spa shooter killed 8 people, 6 of them Asian women, because "it was a really bad day for him," and that's it's not about race. This is what white supremacy looks like. #StopAsianHate#StopAAPIHate
On this #InternationalWomensDay, I signed two executive orders to establish the White House Gender Policy Council and ensure education free from sexual violence. As president, I’m committed to uplifting the rights of women and girls in the U.S. and around the world.
Today, Governor DeSantis gave a speech about the state of Florida.
I don't know where he's living, folks.
Here's the truth the governor refuses to see: Floridians are still hurting. Today, our state reported 7,000 new COVID cases and 136 deaths.
Florida deserves better.
ICYMI: #CPAC2021 is a GO! We’re swapping D.C. lockdowns for sunshine and freedom. Grab your friends and join us live in #Orlando. See you there! https://t.co/eGeewBT72w
Texans are suffering without power because those in power have failed us. As with Covid, a natural disaster has become far deadlier due to the inaction & ineptitude of Abbott and Texas’ Republican leadership. This didn’t have to happen and doesn’t have to continue. 1/4
Donald Trump incited a mob of domestic terrorists to attack our Capitol and overturn the election. Even 7 Senate Republicans couldn’t stomach his act of insurrection. Our democracy must be stronger than the former president and the 43 senators who sided with him today.
