By 1920, the network of interurbans in the US was so dense that a determined commuter could hop interlinked streetcars from Waterville, Maine, to Sheboygan, Wisconsin—a journey of 1,000 miles—exclusively by electric trolley.

First on the mic, @CatsCommentary says the several thousand at this Oakland protest will hold the intersection for 2 hours. She has strong words for the curfew.

The Oakland police helicopter is hovering overhead this anti-curfew protest but you wouldn’t know it because these Aztec dancers’ drums and rattles completely overpower the soundscape. #GeorgeFloyd

Tonight the President of the United States used the American military to shoot peaceful protestors with rubber bullets & tear gas them.

For a photo op.

This is a horrifying use of presidential power against our own citizens, & has no place anywhere, let alone in America. Vote.

I’m home & still processing that I saw peaceful protesters teargassed outside the White House so Pres Trump could walk to St. John's Episcopal Church.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who oversees the church, said she is “outraged” to see it used in a photo-op.

I’m speechless.

So Alameda County will basically do martial law to stop protestors but will let Tesla workers risk Coronavirus to build luxury cars? Ok.

Can anybody in law enforcement help me understand why police officers would make it their official business to loot water from and destroy the medical supplies of people they are "supposed to be" protecting?

Can't wait for President Trump to call us FAKE NEWS.

You can take our official twitter, but you'll never take our free time!

Let's have fun with word substitution. Impact = orange. Innovation = tomato. Tech = butterfly. #buzzwords #riseconf15

Sometimes companies make apprenticeships and nonprofit groups to hire people at $40k not $80k. It sounds like win win but is it? #riseconf15

For many people, especially returning citizens and low income folks, there is not friends and family investment. @RDFoxworth #riseconf15
