[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

There is no Planet B.

If we want our children to inherit a livable earth with clean air and water, we must #ActOnClimate now.

Climate Chaos threatens our very way of life and this #EarthDay, I am standing on the side of science & standing up future generations.

Black girls deserve girlhood — uninterrupted.

Black girls deserve to grow up and become women.

[Dr. Thema @drthema]

For those grieving, waiting, and fearing more injustice:

Our tears and art speak the words we don’t have.

Being outraged about outrageous things is a healthy response.

Disengage from spaces where you have to justify or debate your right to have feelings. Seek true community

Why are people debating the murder of a child? Let’s start there.

[Ashley Robertson Preston, Ph.D. @DrPreston1913]

One thing I’m not doing is debating (ESPECIALLY WITH “BLACK” PEOPLE) whether or not the officer should have shot Ma’Khia Bryant. Miss me with that! Her life mattered!

[BrwnTableTalk @BrwnTableTalk]

Here are some really great alternatives for calling the police when you need help

[Supernova Momma @SupernovaMomma]

They have resources by city https://t.co/spECw7t2li

[𝔇𝔞𝔰𝔦𝔞 𝔍𝔞𝔫𝔞𝔢 @dajjrambo]

They just k*lled a black child and they are yelling Blue Lives Matter to the black people that just witnessed it. If that isn’t a clear indicator idk what is.

On the same day the they convicted Derek Chauvin, a Black teenage girl was murdered by a cop...who she called for help

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting as @ColumbusPolice killed an unarmed 15yo Black girl named Makiyah Bryant. Another child lost! Another hashtag. ✊🏾🙏🏾#JusticeForMakiyahBryant https://t.co/9ssR5gfqm5

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

I just want to reiterate that if they convict Derek Chauvin, it's not a sign that the system has changed, but a sign that they know when they have to sacrifice one of their own.

[the fine chocolate friend @anh___]

Imagine if they just stopped killing us.

Former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin convicted of murder and manslaughter charges in the death of George Floyd.

Floyd’s death stirred worldwide protests against racism after video showed Chauvin pinning Floyd to the ground with his knee on his neck.

President Biden and VP Harris call the Floyd family after the GUILTY verdict! Thank you @POTUS & @VP for your support! We hope that we can count on you for the police reform we NEED in America! ✊🏾
