INBOX: Trump campaign orders the media to “correct or retract” reporting that accurately described yesterday’s protests, live footage of which plainly showed viewers what happened.

I'm sorry for not speaking up here sooner. I kind of forgot I had this twt account.

[Abbey Brown @abbeycbrown]

➡️ USING our privilege to help others
➡️ avoiding performative activism
➡️ talking to & educating & calling out racism in our communities
➡️ VOTING
