@ProjectLincoln Trump is using Portland as a testing ground to see how far he can take his fascist tactics.

Either we stop him now, or democracy is OVER.

“Platoons self-designated and self-mobilized by Donald Trump to be flown thousands of miles into US cities to attack Americans fits the definition of abuse of power in any democracy,” Sen. Ron Wyden told Mother Jones. https://t.co/yNlqBZ3DqX

This is example of what we are up against this November. The vote if the most powerful tool we have, so they will find anything to suppress it. Money should never determine any citizen’s right to vote. This is fundamentally unacceptable and undemocratic. https://t.co/bzPCKpcy6B

Hospitals! Trump is now telling you NOT to report #coronavirus data to the CDC. Tell him to GO TO HELL! Doesn’t he understand people are dying?? Report! Report! Report!

Good news! Justice Ginsburg heading home.

Full-time minimum wage workers can’t afford a two-bedroom rental anywhere in the US.
They also can’t afford a one-bedroom rental in 95% of US counties.

WEAR A MASK.

[Face The Nation @FaceTheNation]

ICYMI: @Surgeon_General when pressed on past comments about masks not working for general public:

"Once upon a time we prescribed cigarettes for asthmatics, and leeches and cocaine and heroin as medical treatments, when we learn better we do better"

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Trump officially withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization in the middle of a global health crisis.

This move is reckless, short-sighted, and surrenders what was left of America's leadership on the world stage.

[Charles M. Blow @CharlesMBlow]

Today is the day that black people became citizens of the United States with the ratification of the 14th Amendment on July 9, 1868.

[Eric Holder @EricHolder]

This is what Trump has brought the nation: forcing out of the military a war hero whose sin was .... telling the truth. This is an outrage.

59 years ago today I was released from Parchman Farm Penitentiary after being arrested in Jackson, MS for using a so-called "white" restroom during the Freedom Rides of 1961.
