Kenosha police shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back in front of his children in broad daylight. Now he’s fighting for his life in the ICU.

Our prayers are with him, his family, and the Kenosha community. We must demand answers and action on his behalf.

“For the protesters that are out side right now, thank you. Because you have created the space for us inside this chamber to have this conversation and to create the change that our communities and our state desperately need.” -@SenadoraJulie #SB217 #coleg #copolitics

URGENT ACTION: Call Senator .@SteveFenberg (303-866-4872) &tell him we need #paidsickdays for ALL workers. We shouldn't leave out migrant & seasonal workers by limiting the ability to keep earned sick days after 6 months. This is an attack on low wage seasonal workers! #coleg

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

A Black New York State Senator (@zellnor4ny) and a Black NYS Assemblywoman (@YourFavoriteASW) were both pepper sprayed in Brooklyn today.

They were present as elected leaders to keep the peace and serve their communities.

Completely, utterly unacceptable.

White people: LISTEN to black activists and protesters. DO NOT ignore them. this is about black lives being taken by police. DO NOT start violence because BLACK LIVES are the ones the cops will go after. CHECK YOUR PRIVLEDGE. #denverprotests #blm

[Auon’tai M. Anderson @AuontaiAnderson]

Today we there were THREE rallies and in each one of them we asked white people not to engage on our behalf and we wanted to remain peaceful.

We were ignored. (1/2)

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

So here's what worries me: just 2 months from now, sharp cut in aid to unemployed, alongside mass layoffs of teachers and firefighters, plus small businesses folding and/or laying off their employees 6/

@laurenlbauer @COVIDImpact Is this (heartbreaking) data available disaggregated by race? Thanks so much.

[Cate Blackford @catetiller]

Example number 5,739 of the sexism and misogyny of the primary. #ThankYouElizabeth for your brilliance and ability to explain your thoughtful plans #WhyWeCantHaveNiceThings https://t.co/7MynmEN9ip

This broke me: Elizabeth Warren choking up while remembering her pinky promises to little girls

Our work continues, the fight goes on, and big dreams never die. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. https://t.co/28kyKe777L

#ThankYouElizabeth for inspiring our daughters, for fighting for them and for the rest of us

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

We just forced out the only candidate that resoundingly defeated an arrogant, bigoted billionaire face-to-face on national television because she had the guts to hold him accountable in primetime. I hope it was worth it.

#ThankYouElizabeth
