White nationalism, fueled by Trump’s rhetoric of hate, is the scourge of America today. Vote out racist Trump and his GOP enablers in 2020!

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

We're being tested.

We have a President who believes he's above the law. We have a President who behaves like he's above the wall.

This can't be allowed. By any of us.

Standing up against this is more important than our own personal politics.

[Kai Newkirk for Congress @kai_newkirk]

This is the El Paso shooter.

Patrick Crusius, a 21 year-old white male Trump supporter whose manifesto says he committed mass murder in “response to [the] Hispanic invasion of Texas.”

This is white supremacist terror.

It's part of a pattern.

And Trump is complicit.

[Peter Daou @peterdaou]

ONE.

JUST ONE.

I'd like to see ONE Republican lawmaker step up and condemn white supremacist terrorism.

Just ONE.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

We're waking up to the second mass shooting in as many days. I’m heartsick for the 29 people killed this weekend in El Paso and Dayton—and all the other lives we lose every day due to senseless gun violence. We need to take urgent action to end the gun violence epidemic.

[Yvonne 🏳️‍🌈 @yvonnico]

Looking at how they casually arrest a white man who just killed 19+ americans vs how they treat an unarmed black man for "selling cigarettes" tells you everything you need to know about the current state of America

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Our country is under attack from white nationalist terrorism, inspiring murder on our soil and abetted by weak gun laws. If we are serious about national security, we must summon the courage to name and defeat this evil.

[Jared Gohr @GaredJohr]

Go to Walmart, get shot.
Go to a garlic festival, get shot.
Go to a concert, get shot.
Go to church, get shot.
Go to the movies, get shot.
Go to work, get shot.
Go to college, get shot.
Go to high school, get shot.
Go to first grade, get shot.

[Khary Penebaker @kharyp]

The #ElPaso shooter wrote a manifesto that talked about his hatred for Hispanics. So when you ask “where was he radicalized”, look no further than the words coming out of the mouth (and cesspool of a twitter feed) of the current occupant of the White House.

[RC deWinter @RCdeWinter]

Nobody's interested in your hunting rifles and small firearms.
Go shoot your squirrels and possums for dinner. But guns that are weapons of mass destruction need to go.

[Eric Trump @EricTrump]

CNN corporate trait: terrible at pretending to be journalists

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

It will get worse. There is no bottom. He’s a horrible human being. And Congressional Republicans won’t say shit.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

If you're President of the United States and *every few days* your supporters need to go on TV and say, "What he meant was..." you're far too stupid and inarticulate to be president, sorry.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

I’ve got a message for the Trump administration: When you physically abuse immigrants, sexually abuse immigrants, or refuse to supply immigrants with the medical care that they need, you break the law of the United States of America.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

First, you stoke hatred and fear of minorities. Then you round them up and put them in camps. Next, you send out raiding parties to get those who have been driven into hiding. The armbands come next right?

[Rita McLendon @LendonRita]

They should speak up and condemn Trump's statements....but they won't

[Jeff Flake @JeffFlake]

I’ve often said that Republican elected officials can’t be expected to respond to every comment by the President. But there are times when the President's comments are so vile and offensive that it is incumbent on Republicans to respond and condemn. This is one of those times.

[Brian J. Karem @BrianKarem]

POTUS refuses to answer questions about his racist tweets. Then calls the Democrats racists and refuses to answer my question about where he gets his facts. ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

Fight like hell to keep your heart soft, even while so many people have become hardened.

Yes, the world is upside-down right now, but we can make it right—one beautiful act of decency at a time.

It's easier to tell yourself that all those crossing the border are inhuman, vicious, immoral predators.
That narrative helps you feel better about the stereotypes you perpetuate and the lack of empathy you live with.
