You're ever welcome with me any time you like/Let's drive to the countryside, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Incredibly powerful, must-watch moment.

Thank you, @esglaude.

@FirstGentleman everything by @sigurros.

@CoriBush Your tweets & this book.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

There is no form of protest against racism that is acceptable to racists.

Mike Max interviews Bloomington woman trying to work as a medic describing helping a man who was shot with a rubber bullet and having to flee, then running across the street to help someone else

[Minnesota Freedom Fund @MNFreedomFund]

Hey y'all, there is a fraudulent Venmo account circulating with our name on it. At this time, the Minnesota Freedom Fund DOES NOT HAVE A VENMO. Do NOT send funds there.

@ezraklein Turn off the @WhiteHouse briefings and just watch Minnesota @GovTimWalz - this is the best 28 minutes you will spend on COVID-19. https://t.co/6SLrqG90GC

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

So for those of you who with a day job, here’s what happened: Roger Stone gets recommended for 7-9 years for his crimes. Trump tweets that it’s unfair. DOJ then intervenes to reduce the prison term, something that is literally never done. 3 prosecutors just resigned in protest.

@dessadarling As a 4th grader, I used to tell my teacher that I needed to be excused from class so I could read to Kindergartners & earn a Girl Scout badge...and that’s exactly what I’d do! The lie was that it wasn’t for GS & wasn’t for a badge, not that it wasn’t reading to kids.📚#nerdalert

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

How careless white America has been with black pain.

The same careless spirit that allows Trump to compare lynching to a constitutional process.

The same spirit that sees slave plantations as romantic venues.

That spirit that loves black forgiveness after white violence.

[ash oliver @corvettehater]

If your response to the grounds for Trump’s im🍑ment is that other politicians, who you would never even consider supporting, have done the same thing...I guess we can count on you not supporting or voting for Trump then? Seems like a weird way to denounce him, but I’ll take it!

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

Quotes and fact checks on Trump’s press conference will be in this thread.

@KerriMPR It is startling to think about what the answers may reveal if we actually asked ourselves this same question about the mass incarceration and policing of black & brown people or international terrorists/terrorist groups born out of poverty and US warfare.

[ash oliver @corvettehater]

@KerriMPR Asking how we have failed & disenfranchised young men who can't access the "american dream" as easily is NOT a thoughtful question. These shooters are young white men - this question shifts the blame to them being unprepared for their white male supremacy to be challenged.

[ash oliver @corvettehater]

@KerriMPR A thoughtful question to ask may be why the american dream was ever so accessible to them to begin with. Equity & stability for all is an important end but this is no time to be asking what more could be done for white men perpetuating domestic terror.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

It's intellectually dishonest to pretend this society isn't organized around a hierarchy of skin color, language & religion.

[ash oliver @corvettehater]

I just read a Trump supporter arguing the tweets were from “fake accounts” & that they were “obviously faked by someone impersonating Trump”...HE HAS PROUDLY CLAIMED, OWNED, & DEFENDED THEM. Will ppl do anything to prop their willful ignorance? #theplanisworking #RacistInChief

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Y'all gotta stop blaming Russian bots for racial tension in America. Bots didn't murder Trayvon Martin. Bots didn't lynch thousands of Black people. Bots didn't implement chattel slavery. Bots didn't vote for Trump. Bots don't run the racist government. Own your shit.
