@Raptors and @celtics should just sit or stand on the court for the first quarter if they want to make a statement. Let the clock run, let the refs do whatever they want. It's be better than a full game boycott.

"There is no guarantee that the American empire will not collapse," says Dr. Cornel West as Pres. Trump stokes partisan anger along racial lines. "There is a real possibility that it may. We have to fight until the end. We have to go down swinging."
Please read and share my conversation with @chaunceydevega via @Salon on Trump's "law and order," George Floyd's martyrdom, the question of if we are in a paradigm shift as a country and more.

So when we talk about race, let us not just talk about police murder and brutality, the crucial catalyst at this moment, but also about all of us...in terms of our economy and our nation-state.
Powerful scene from my new NYC apartment, followed by @DaraRLevy and my firsthand view marching up 5th to Trump Tower (in comment). Standing in solidarity and unity against blatant and pervasive injustice. #BlackLivesMattter#NoJusticeNoPeace
Powerful comment: Bishop Marian Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of DC says she is outraged that @realDonaldTrump used StJohn’s (without asking them) as a backdrop for his photo op after clearing protesters “what we are witnessing now is the shredding of our national fabric” @CNN
Houston Police Chief @ArtAcevedo: “Let me just say this to the President of the United States, on behalf of the police chiefs of this country: please, if you don’t have something constructive to say, keep your mouth shut.”
@owillis@TuckerCarlson, if politicians had adequately addressed the mis-use of violence in policing, there would be no protest. Violent activists then seized the opportunity to create chaos. Your approach will fail. The correct response is to initiate reform of policing and to apologize.
