Before you decide if the former president is responsible for the Capitol riots, remember that in America you’re innocent until proven guilty, then proven guilty again, then proven guilty again and they hold a hearing in primetime to show everyone how you’re really, really guilty.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

The police came quicker to kick us out of the NRA prayer meeting than to confront the shooter in Uvalde.

Let that sink in.

Our country is better at protecting the NRA and its guns than our kids.

Lindsey Graham wanted to know how often Judge Jackson goes to church. Corey Booker just took us all to church.

Mama said there’d be days like this . . .

Overheard: we’ve got people here who are filling trash bags with gas, and you want us to stop wearing masks around these people???

[NC Justice Center @ncjustice]

The NC House has passed H324, a bill prohibiting schools from teaching realities of racism & oppression in the U.S. We strongly oppose any legislation that restricts what students are taught about the reality of our nation’s long & complicated racial history #ncpol #nced (1/2)

This is window-dressing. Not nearly far enough. “After Andrew Brown shooting, bipartisan push to loosen restrictions on NC body-cam video”https://t.co/YjlSF6Fy94

@LScottPeeples Damn.

McConnell is amazing. No backbone and a forked tongue and yet he is walking and speaking.

Acquitted like a Jim Crow jury

[Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis @RevJacquiLewis]

The rush to call Brady the greatest athlete of all time while Serena sits right there with 23 grand slam titles is the same racism that overlooks Black women in the office when promotion time arrives.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer displays post of Marjorie Taylor Greene post holding a gun next to image of Democratic lawmakers.

"This is an AR-15 in the hands of Ms. Greene...Look at that image and tell me what message you think it sends." https://t.co/NBf7xW09WK

Number of times the Bible demands a free market economy: 0

Number of times it demands we care for the most vulnerable: 300+

Yet a strange number of “biblical literalists” obsessed with the former.

[Eddie S. Glaude Jr. @esglaude]

We cannot separate what happened on January 6th from the racial reckoning we face as a country. We MUST see the two as inextricably connected.
