@CoriBush @RonDeSantisFL And he has the nerve to go out of his way right after and state “in FL we back the blue”........ Can’t wait to vote that SoB out
Hey, @RonDeSantisFL, pro-tip: Instead of working so hard to stop protests that defend of Black lives, pass laws that keep Black people alive.
I know it may be surprising to you, but Black people have a right to the First Amendment, too.
the outpouring love & support I’ve received has made me realize I’m more than my accomplishments and gymnastics which I never truly believed before. 🤍
We compromise, we die. If we compromise on qualified immunity, police officers will continue to kill Black people with impunity.
The provision to end qualified immunity must remain in the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. I won't vote for it without it.
Pres. Biden & Senate Dems should take a step back and ask themselves if playing patty-cake w GOP Senators is really worth the dismantling of people’s voting rights, setting the planet on fire, allowing massive corporations and the wealthy to not pay their fair share of taxes, etc
@POTUS Time to finally hold you accountable for horrid “mistakes.” STOP supporting Israeli military and call for a cease fire on Palestine! The U.S has the power to stop this fenocide and halt the occupation! #FreePalestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Here’s a reminder that the political party crying about “the death of free speech” has introduced 81 anti-protest bills in 34 states, including a law in Oklahoma protecting drivers who run over protesters.
Media and politicians alike have conditioned people to see black people as violent thugs.
For example: The third precinct was burned down by three white men from outside of Minneapolis but dominant narrative is still to blame black folks in Minneapolis.

Nothing says “betraying” your country like *checks notes* paid family leave, pre-k & school meals.
Their bigoted attempts to spin our ideas as un-American is getting really desperate. I serve in Congress, progressives policies are popular and you are just going to have to deal.
I’m grateful to the organizers who delivered the presidency back to the people so that tonight, we don’t have to listen to a twice-impeached white supremacist-in-chief pushing a white supremacist agenda.
I applaud President Biden’s important action to raise the minimum wage for federal contract workers to $15 an hour. Congress should follow his lead and end starvation wages for the rest of the nation. Let’s get it done.
That a family had to lose a son, brother and father; that a teenage girl had to film and post a murder, that millions across the country had to organize and march just for George Floyd to be seen and valued is not justice.
And this verdict is not a substitute for policy change.
George Floyd's family and community deserved for his killer to be held accountable.
Today, they got that accountability.
Always and forever, Black lives matter.
We hope and pray that Derek Chauvin is convicted. However, there will be no victories today. Justice would mean #GeorgeFloyd is still with us. #ChauvinTrial#BlackLivesMatter
