The #ForThePeopleAct is a chance to reaffirm that in America, the power rests with the people. It’s our best chance in a generation to protect and strengthen our democracy. So I hope you’ll join me and the @WhenWeAllVote team in supporting this bill: https://t.co/B9VWfEI0LJ
I’m heartbroken by these recent tragedies of gun violence, and I just keep thinking about all the leaders who won’t take a stand to save lives and yet line up to pass bills that make it harder for us to vote.
I am heartbroken to announce that my Dad, my hero, Kevin Mahoney, was killed in the King Soopers shooting in my hometown of Boulder, CO. My dad represents all things Love. I'm so thankful he could walk me down the aisle last summer.
Officer Eric Talley is my big brother. He died today in the Boulder shooting. My heart is broken. I cannot explain how beautiful he was and what a devastating loss this is to so many. Fly high my sweet brother. You always wanted to be a pilot (damn color blindness). Soar.

This is David McAtee, a business owner in the Westend of Louisville. He was unarmed and shot dead at midnight by the @LMPD. As of 10:45 AM his body was still in the street.
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.
A rocket carrying humans was launched into space today. I should feel optimistic about the future, space travel and exploration, but how can I when we can’t even get it right down here?
For everyone that doesn’t have me on my other socials. I urge you to take the time out of your day to read this. My stance on the current state of the US. (1/2)
you’re avoiding the issue at hand when you say this. yes, not ALL cops are bad but that doesn’t mean we can ignore the cruelty, lack of empathy and violence that the bad cops demonstrate OR the absence of “good” cops standing up against them.
