SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID PERIODT YOU CANNOT BE PART OF THE BLM MOVEMENT BUT BE HOMOPHOBIC THAT SH!T DONT ADD UP ‼️‼️

[Eugene Gu, MD @eugenegu]

When officially naming the coronavirus as COVID-19, the World Health Organization specifically declared that it didn’t want to include any type of geographic or ethnic description of the virus that could inflame hatred. Trump calling it the Chinese Virus is beyond reprehensible.

Who were the students fighting for Civil Rights in the early 1960s? Some were called Freedom Riders: https://t.co/N53EBFqZ4a #VietnamWarPBS

@TheRoot Because that certainly proves that you're not a racist..

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@4littlewendys I saw that. The dreadhead guy and the old lady he was with were just trying to start problems.

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@EdChristina I also saw that people are going out now since some Pro Confederates came out early without permit.

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@EdChristina As far as I know. Starting at the Lee Monument at 12pm, but it looks like everyone's playing it by ear.

@Olivianuzzi Buddy boy moves quick.

[Eugene Gu, MD @eugenegu]

Trumpcare is Deathcare. We need to repeal and replace the President of the United States. #SaveACA

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@dj16600775 @PopCrave @blkjustice32 Sure, but Migos' actions have been homophobic. No point in fighting that fact.

[The Root @TheRoot]

What does freedom really mean when you're black in America?

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@ACLU_WV @SenCapito @Sen_JoeManchin Of course. When it counts, it seems that some Americans won't vote directly against their own interests. Everyone needs healthcare.

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@Snowden This is modern US gov to a T. Gov official takes something from citizens but gets to use it themselves because they're special right?

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@TheRoot Just senseless.

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@LLAmos Not quick enough, sadly.

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@TheRoot They are never punished. Suspension is not a punishment. There needs to be zero tolerance. This sets a continuously bad precedent.

@IvankaTrump @POTUS @StateDept So why do you use China to make your wares?? #HealthcareNotWealthcare #ImpeachTrumpNOW #KillTheBill #notmypresident #TrumpcaresUnAmerican

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@TheRoot Destroying the memorial of Emmett Till cant erase his death from history. His murder mirrors the present killings of black boys and men #BLM

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@thehill @ForeverLogical Clearly his constituents don't approve of their representative supporting a literally anti-human healthcare scheme like Trumpcare.

[Peighton L. Young @TheHistorian__]

@JohnFromCranber Massive if.
