Democracy requires active participation by The People, with a government that is accountable and transparent, and where our voices are heard and acted on.
There is no democracy without independent journalism. Listen to this respected journalist describe what @CBSNews leadership directed him to
do in covering the killing if Renee Good in Minneapolis. #HoldingPowerAccountable
@WanjiruNjoya@Suzierizzo1 Given the historical context of the confederate flag and its ties to white supremacy, being waved at a game with a very diverse student population - do you think words are needed?
@WanjiruNjoya@Suzierizzo1 There have been several other verified incidents in Virginia around the same time where racial slurs were confirmed at basketball games, which may be contributing to mixed reports.
@BIPOCAlert@Suzierizzo1 Yup! I’m 💯 certain the Indigenous Peoples of these lands feel the VERY SAME WAY - back to the days BEFORE colonizers came and turned this country to what it is today centered on hate, bigotry, prejudice and bias.
@JoshHall2024 🚨DISINFORMATION ALERT There are ZERO credible reports or news sources indicating that 12 priests came frwd with specific allegations listed (supporting abortion, marrying gay couples, etc.). Fact check: The claims appear in posts linked to anti-liberal and anti-Marxist rhetoric.
@thematrixb0t Does this incld the BILLIONS being made by Trump family off taxpayer dollars, the presidency and foreign policy moved by this administration? That too shld be included. ALL corruption and swamp players shld be investigated/removed and reforms put in place to avoid same in future.
Radicalizing, racializing and/or politicizing narratives around policies that need addressing and common sense solutions is NOT done in good faith. It’s done to create them-vs-us partisan wedges. Let’s focus on propel and solutions instead of normalizing cruelty. #DoBetter
The framing of fraud is being used as a catch-all justification for increased security, funding restrictions and immigration enforcement, BUT this framing does NOT hold up to the evidence. That’s why none is offered my this administration beyond partisan conjecture. #FactsMatter
Fraud in MN has become a political issues instead of a policy issue focused on corrections and solutions. Get to work #mnleg to center MNstns instead of party or special interests. #DoBetter
Here’s what we see this admin. doing - trump has confidence in ALL the other elects in GA he, or other republicans have won, EXCEPT those he lost. 2020 being an ex. Common sense dictates that what we saw happen in Fulton County a few days ago is NOT about fraud. #FactsMatter
No Mr. president, you DID lose GA’s election in 2020. You were caught demanding for ballots/votes you DID NOT have. Elections belong to citizens NOT you or any president, political party or special interests. Period.
