An 18-year-old with a cell phone is the only reason this happened.

Protesting last year into this year is the only reason this happened.

The amount of pressure and force required to get ANY sort of movement on this is impressive and heartbreaking at the same time.

Chauvin is the 7th on-duty cop to be convicted of murder since 2005, out of around 15,000 police killings in that time.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.

What you're seeing at the U.S. Capitol isn't anarchy.

It's a violent attempt by domestic terrorists at overthrowing representative democracy in favor of racist authoritarianism.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

For reference, there were 14,000+ arrests at the George Floyd protests.

[Nadia Bolz-Weber @Sarcasticluther]

“We feel your pain. We love you. You’re special.” Did the president finally say this to those who are grieving their dead due to his mishandling of a pandemic? No. This is what the president says to armed white supremacist insurgents who just took over the US capital.

I'm seeing a lot of educators and parents online tonight, wondering what we should tell the kids about all of this. The answer, as always, is the truth. (thread)

[Krystina Arielle @KrystinaArielle]

Black people have been killed for just existing. Black children have been killed for just playing. These people stormed the U.S. Capitol and they were told they were special and loved. Its so blatant and maddening.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Here’s my statement on today’s violence at the Capitol.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Impeach.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Republicans, do Your duty as Americans. Tell Trump to stop playing fiddlyfuck and concede so we can get on with the nation’s business. People are dying.

First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won't. Habit is persistence in practice. - Octavia Butler

Hates eating vegetables or potatoes even if they are "supposed to be" good for him. lol
In another WIP, the MC hates getting a shot for the same reason.

#WriterChronicles Day 11:

What is one thing your MC hates to do?

@rbravender Stereotype
Haunts me to this day how I blanked out right there 🙈

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

It becomes clearer and clearer that it doesn’t seem to end with giving up on empathy, equality, facts and science.
It appears after that follows diminishing or denying democracy itself.
A global phenomenon - all for greed and power.

Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens. Most of my friends who are put on that diet have very pleasant careers. - Ray Bradbury

[Lacy (she/her) @reachwriter]

Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up. - Jane Yolen
