Let us never forget that when the President of the United States ordered U.S. forces to gas peaceful American citizens so he could stage a sacrilegious photo op with a Bible, he was joined by Bill Barr, Mark Esper, Kayleigh McEnany, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and many others.
George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.
racism in any form is unacceptable
what happened to George Floyd is unconscionable
i would like to add my voice to the chorus of all those speaking out against hatred and bigotry

According to the charging document, an officer checked #GeorgeFloyd’s pulse and said he couldn’t find one. Chauvin kept his knee on his neck for *another* 1:54.
That’s an incredibly long time.
If you feel as physically shaken and upset as I do about the murder of George Floyd don’t let that emotion go to waste, do something with it. Talk about it, sign a petition, research and donate money where you think it makes sense (if you can afford it).

George Floyd’s murder is the result of pervasive, systemic racism that has denied and stripped Black Americans of their rights for generations. #BlackLivesMatter
