@SenTinaSmith Thank you! Robert Reich lays out the reasons here: https://t.co/dHWYnNsVFo

[Kathleen Kruse (KK) @kkruse]

A2) When people are supported in their efforts to learn and apply new skills/knowledge, and when they openly share what they know, and help others do, too...that's golden. #WorkTrends

[6 Wheels Consulting @6WConsulting]

Lois Curtis’s lawsuit against the state of Georgia resulted in the Supreme Court’s landmark Olmstead decision, providing a legal basis for independent living and community integration, including through employment, for Americans with disabilities.

The Canadian Catholic Church was obliged to pay $25 million as part of the residential school settlement agreement.
They walked away on the deal.
They refuse to apologize.
They refuse to pay.
They refuse to turn over names of the perpetrators of abuse.

[D.A. Bullock @BullyCreative]

so not 1 person in the whole structure + decision making of MPD said "Lets not have one of the killers of Jamar Clark out there in a volatile situation where his mere presence can be a provocation" seriously @MayorFrey I know you pretend you dont hear me but does this make sense?

Justice department to investigate sky to see if it is blue.

@RBReich @GovTimWalz @LtGovFlanagan Rethink your priorities. Stop #OperationSafetyNet.

[Mary Moriarty @MaryMoriarty]

We don’t need armed police taking care of traffic infractions. Armed police use traffic stops as fishing expeditions to search for drugs and guns. They find little and create enormous racial disparities

[Local Progress @LocalProgress]

Communities are demanding justice for Daunte Wright.

The violent response by police & military is unconscionable.

Today, local elected officials across MN demand @GovTimWalz, @MayorFrey & Sheriff Hutchinson end Operation Safety Net’s approach immediately.

@Jon_Favreau @Lucasfilm_Ltd @disneyplus Minneapolis police think it’s a good idea to use Baby Yoda this way. It’s disgusting.

[Wedge LIVE!™ @WedgeLIVE]

There's also one with Baby Yoda in riot gear.

If actual bad apples killed dozens of people, there would be a national recall of ALL apples.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Everybody who didn't know is seeing America as it truly is right now. Can't provide resources for the pandemic but has all the resources at the ready to murder civilians in the street and teargas anyone who objects.

[Amy Pagett @amagdalyn]

Srsly every day is a new level of WTF.

[Matthew A. Cherry @MatthewACherry]

Y’all can arrest a black CNN reporter and his cameraman for no apparent reason but can’t arrest a one of your own who killed a man on video in broad daylight @MinneapolisPD???

[Alicia Elliott - AND THEN SHE FELL out now! @WordsandGuitar]

Reminder to non-Black folks: Under white supremacy there is no way for Black ppl to react to the racist trauma inflicted on them that doesn't further villainize them. The police/state/public always blame Black ppl for the brutality they experience, regardless of how they protest.

[Amy Pagett @amagdalyn]

@RichfieldPD What does it say about your priorities that you warned businesses about potential looting but have made zero statements to the PEOPLE of Richfield today?

[Imani Perry @imaniperry]

Amy Coopers teach our children. They are doctors and nurses and sales people and guidance counselors and social workers and and and. Such a mundane and persistent ugliness.

[Erin Maye Quade @ErinMayeQuade]

If you are white and are ready to do some anti-racism work, resources below (h/t @MsPackyetti). Doing nothing ensures nothing changes. #BlackLivesMatter
