It took the police and city less time to tear down homeless encampments in the middle of a pandemic with no place for them to go, than to clear out armed white supremacists storming the US Capitol. This is why police are useless. Defund police and invest in our communities.

[~ @viagrafaII]

they found a literal BOMB in the capitol and they're still calling them protestors...

[Beytwicé @lotoysrus]

Why y’all keep asking where the police at? Y’all ask where Miley’s at when Hannah’s on stage?

The national guard not coming cause they already in the crowd 🌚🌚

Abolishing ICE isn’t a radical thing to do, it’s a humane thing to do.

Friendly reminder that RIGht now is the time to regisTER To vote if you can. Learn about your local (and national) candidates now so you can make informed decision later. https://t.co/dgYB2UrJSm

[Jeff Jackson @JeffJacksonNC]

Republican senators in NC proudly refuse to wear masks on the senate floor.

Why?

Because Trump won’t wear one, and that’s turned this into a partisan issue.

I urge you to be thoughtful about this. It’s not a political statement. It’s obvious and easy.

Wearing your seat belt, it doesn’t mean you live in fear.
Wearing a helmet doesn’t mean you live in fear.
Wearing a mask doesn’t mean you live in fear.
It means you’re living with respect for yourself and a healthy reverence for what could harm you. #WearAMask

We got white people pissed off about wearing masks, egg mcmuffins and maple syrup. Meanwhile, in the past two weeks, six black men were found hanged in a tree, in a public space, yet the “authorities” claim all six as suicides...

Story I learned last night:

I started Girl Scouts in first grade and was an active scout until I was 17 (12th grade)—did ALL the GS stuff and loved my scouting experience. I was a GS national delegate.

My troop, 1001, was in Detroit and almost all black.

When the COVID numbers spike -- and they will -- instead of blaming protesters, take note of which cities used the most unlawful force.

Did they... oh, I don't know, trap protesters between two highways like cattle and then gas them?

Did they mow down large groups of people?

It's a privilege to learn about
racism instead of experiencing
it your whole life.

[kelpy 🐌 @kelp_b]

just so we're all completely clear, officer holte was killed in a shootout at an apartment last week and officer lyday was shot while responding to a domestic disturbance.
to imply that either of these deaths have anything to do with the protests is DANGEROUSLY disingenuous.
