@daechwittaes Thanks for taking it down. I don’t think that it’s an excuse that you found it on Pinterest though. Just because it’s on Pinterest doesn’t mean that it’s free use. Art doesn’t just appear, it’s always made by someone.

@daechwittaes Hey. Those are MY dinosaurs. I have not given you permission to use them, and you’re even claiming to have made them yourself. Take this down.

It's been 130 days since Breonna Taylor was murdered by police in her own home. After they shot her, they left her there to die.

Her killers have not been charged and are still roaming free. Keep demanding justice for Breonna and her family.

Nothing surprises me anymore 😂

This lady is running for office in Tokyo, her campaign posters are displayed on street level billboards w/the other candidates around the city. Her wardrobe is the covid masks the government sent out this year, the famous Abenomask. If she wins, she takes them off.

Peaceful protest in Minneapolis. Share this. Post this. It’s not exciting, it’s not shocking, but it is POWERFUL.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

We need real police department reform. Every police officer involved in a killing must be held accountable, and those found guilty must be punished with the full force of the law. Every killing of a person held in police custody must be investigated by the Department of Justice.

if my job required me to shoot rubber bullets and pepper spray at innocent people, i would simply find a new job

[Tyler Blint-Welsh @tylergabriel_]

Lost my glasses and my ankle is in searing pain after NYPD hit me in the face multiple times with riot shields and pushed me to the ground. I was backing away as request, with my hands up. My NYPD-issued press badge was clearly visible. I’m just sitting here crying. This sucks.

I stand with the Black community's fight for justice for Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and many, many others before them. We cannot accept injustice at any cost. #BlackLivesMatter

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Devastating to see the development taking place in the USA.
Centuries of structural and systematic racism and social injustice won’t go away by itself.
We need a global structural change.
The injustices must come to an end. #BlackLivesMatter

@_tundabolt @sweeeetdee_ I see a lot of people asking why he was handcuffed (I want to know this as well). Here's a brief article about what happened: https://t.co/0zFOUP0UjF

5. The more specific we can make demands for criminal justice and police reform, the harder it will be for elected officials to just offer lip service to the cause and then fall back into business as usual once protests have gone away.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

4. So if we want to bring about real change, the choice isn’t between protest and politics––we have to do both. We have to mobilize to raise awareness, and we have to organize and cast our ballots to make sure that we elect candidates who will act on reform.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

3. To do that, we have to know which levels of government have the biggest impact. Changing the federal government is important. But the elected officials who matter most in reforming police departments and the criminal justice system work at the state and local levels.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

2. The point of protest is to raise public awareness, to put a spotlight on injustice, and to make the powers that be uncomfortable. But eventually, we have to translate those aspirations into specific laws and institutional practices.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

1. The protests represent a genuine and legitimate frustration over a decades-long failure to reform police practices and the broader criminal justice system. We should condemn the few who resort to violence––not the overwhelming majority who deserve our respect and support.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Ultimately, it’s going to be up to a new generation of activists to shape strategies that best fit the times. But I want to highlight some basic lessons from past efforts that are worth remembering:

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As millions of people across the country take to the streets and raise their voices in response to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing problem of unequal justice, I’ve heard many ask how we can sustain momentum to bring about real change.

@rgay @MaxTemkin Where are the "masks are tyrrany people" now? Feels like NOW is their moment because 1pm curfews with any amount of notice feels a lot more tyrannical than taking measures to protect yourself against disease. What happened to all the white dudes with guns?
