Again—

1) there’s no data to show that police are more law abiding than the general population, in fact it’s quite the opposite

2) the only time video is required to solve a case is when police are the perpetrators

3) policing itself is state violence

4) abolish policing

BREAKING: U.S. House votes 219-212 to approve $1.9T Covid-19 relief package; bill moves to the Senate, where a provision increasing the federal minimum wage is expected to be stripped following a ruling by the Senate parliamentarian. https://t.co/LPZLJjkCWn

There are individuals

residing in this country

sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars

in personal fortune

& politicians are saying we don’t have the resources

to educate children, house people or keep the economy going

without killing more underpaid workers.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Wow it’s almost like police unions are just organized branches of the white supremacist movement & have no genuine connection to the labor struggle or even the safety of police beyond protecting their ability to be racist & violent

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

It’s always the convenient narrative to depict white racist mobs as backwater, poor, ignorant white folks. Yesterday’s mob being organized & incited by a bunch of wealthy, elected officials from elite universities is a perfect reflection of what’s always been the reality.

It’s true, we were there!

[Zahra Hirji @Zhirji28]

At least 13 people were arrested today in connection to a violent mob that stormed the Capitol as part of an attempted coup.

138 @sunrisemvmt climate activists were arrested during a peaceful sit in of Nancy Pelosi’s office back in Dec 2018.

If you spent more time today playing “twitter detective” than you did volunteering, sign up for a GA phone bank tomorrow- link in our bio 😘

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

The right time to pressure elected officials, according to twitter 🙃

Primary - "you're gonna hurt our chances of winning!"
General - "first we have to win!"
After they win - "Can't we take a break?"
Once they're sworn in - "don't risk the midterms!"

The right time is always.

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

This is what environmental racism looks like: the slow poisoning of people in the most marginalized communities.

Climate change is just what we call it when that environmental degradation extends beyond those communities, to people who never thought it would impact them.

[Sunrise Maine 🌅 @SunriseMaine]

@JimmyA_Shook1s What does that even mean lol 😂 stop reaching and start organizing, I promise you’ll feel better 💕

[Sunrise Maine 🌅 @SunriseMaine]

@JimmyA_Shook1s Me: hey it’d be really great if you cared more about making change than being weird on twitter!
Jimmy on twitter: I’m angry at nothing and I’m gonna say random terms to try and make myself sound smart instead of actually doing anything!!
Me literally on the toilet:

[Sunrise Maine 🌅 @SunriseMaine]

@JimmyA_Shook1s I’m so bored with folks who only want to complain. Want to change our org? Join a hub near you, or at least try constructive feedback. Want things to get done? Donate and volunteer. That’s literally all I’m trying to get you to do rn. So sick of campaign Karens, help us or leave.

[Sunrise Maine 🌅 @SunriseMaine]

@JimmyA_Shook1s Me: hey maybe sign up for a phone bank instead of just complaining
Someone who DEMANDS PROOF!!: wow why are you so defensive 🤬🤬

I tried to reason with you, but you’re clearly just looking to be upset and that really just isn’t my problem. Either volunteer or move on.

[isra hirsi @israhirsi]

american leftists stop making jokes out of the victims and survivors of american imperialism. you aren’t being edgy, you are being a bitch.

[Sunrise Maine 🌅 @SunriseMaine]

@JimmyA_Shook1s Like legitimately what is your goal? Bc I get that you’re never going to believe our “proof” or whatever lol, at this point I’m just trying to provoke you into joining a phone bank while I eat my lunch 💀

[Sunrise Maine 🌅 @SunriseMaine]

@JimmyA_Shook1s Me logging on to twitter for the first time in weeks: I get that, but with a quick google search you’d see we’re doing what you want us to be doing, also it’d be great if you could join a phone bank!!
Bitter randos who hate change: 🤬🤬😭😢

[Sunrise Maine 🌅 @SunriseMaine]

@JimmyA_Shook1s I’m eating lunch in between classes, phone banks, work, and meetings. Sorry for taking a break, I’ll never do it again oh lofty internet rando 🙄 and you’re the one being defensive on twitter all day long but go off ig
