A 17 year old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove across state lines, armed with an AR 15.

He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity, and worth of Black lives.

Fix your damn headlines.

I’m biased, but I love social studies teachers #BlackLivesMattter

[StanceGrounded @_SJPeace_]

Donating, learning, and protesting are so important rn, and so is organizing voters across swing states. If you can, consider adopting a state here. I chose Wisconsin, but all are great options. Recruit a friend and do it together! https://t.co/POt22o3OH0

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

We really need a new President.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

If you believe in a more just, more generous, more democratic America, now is the time to fight for it. Here’s a terrific way to register voters, organize communities, and ramp up turnout in the battleground states that will decide this election: https://t.co/FmN8RCJymg

So let me get this straight: Black men are shot for jogging, but white men can bring AR-15s inside state capitols?

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

"our stockpile." I mean: Our is the citizens of the United States, right? Or, like, Jared's personal stash?

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

To be clear, and to repeat myself for the nth time:

If you claim to dislike, abhor, reject, or oppose Trump and Trumpism but you then don’t vote against him in November, no matter who the Democratic nominee is, you’re either a liar or a fool. Or both.

55 years ago today, we were beaten, tear gassed, and trampled by horses. I thought I saw death. I thought I was going to die. I don't know how I made it back, but I know we cannot rest. We cannot become weary. We must keep pushing and pulling and find a way to get in the way.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Happy birthday to one of my heroes — someone who believed our right to vote was more important than his own life. Thanks for making good trouble for 80 years, @repjohnlewis.

People who haven't cried in a congressional hearing: Marie Yovanovitch.
People who have cried in a congressional hearing: Brett Kavanaugh.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

If true, the President's actions are flatly, unquestionably impeachable. The very definition of a "high crime" abuse of power.

[Lisa Ruggiero @LisaRuggiero9]

When I called #kavanaugh “trash” in October, I meant it

[Vox @voxdotcom]

Yes, Supreme Court justices can be impeached.

Just as with presidents, a majority of the House must approve an indictment to impeach, and a two-thirds supermajority of the US Senate must convict for the judge or justice to lose their office. https://t.co/SmRWoI6bCo

@StephenKellett7 What’s the bbq one in Cincinnati? I’ll check it out at Christmas

[Lisa Ruggiero @LisaRuggiero9]

@tchheartmind It was him. He was with his wife and (we think) granddaughter. We googled his wife to make sure it was him. We did not talk to him, though

[Lisa Ruggiero @LisaRuggiero9]

There are over 13,000 restaurants in Rome and we happen to eat at the sane one as Newt Gingrich...

[Lisa Ruggiero @LisaRuggiero9]

We made it!!

@OSUSocStudies @OriginsOSU Thank you for your help, always!!

[Lisa Ruggiero @LisaRuggiero9]

I can’t believe this is my last day here. I’ve experienced so much personal growth this year and it’s all because of my wonderful students and mentor teacher @walpolej1 I’ve cried 3 times already today and I haven’t even had my 1st class! Thanks WNHS for this experience! #ssvpln

[Lisa Ruggiero @LisaRuggiero9]

I think I’ll skype into class for the rest of the semester so I can stay here
