DONT LET UP like they want you to. Undocumented & LGBTQIA communities must continue to uplift Black activists within our Undocumented & LGBTQ communities. The same police that target and murder Black people, deport & harass us too!

[Lupita Romero @lupitadenise]

Yes I’m relieved. But It is not lost on me that this (#DACA) & last weeks positive decisions on LGBTQ protections are coming out in the midst of a national rebellion led by Black people fighting state violence

[Lupita Romero @lupitadenise]

For years, these decisions were expected (by experts & activists) to be negative. This is an attempt to appease more tensions & curtail anymore commonality & cross- solidarity between some of the most oppressed populations in this country.

[Lupita Romero @lupitadenise]

Everybody step up!

An extensive list of Mayor’s who signed off on violent police repression across the country.

[Pastor Ben @BenjaminPDixon]

Remember that for every single citizen that is hit by rubber bullets, beaten with a baton, gassed, or trampled there is a mayor who signed off on it.

List those mayors below and let’s make sure this is the end of their careers.

@freejohno @meggie_gates I was today years old when I caught on to the genius of “chocolate rain” but it got played by hackers on the cop scanners in Chicago while people continued to protest and it’s now my favorite song 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Graham Brookie @GrahamBrookie]

For those keeping score at home:

The President refused to invoke the Defense Production Act to mobilize and save lives quickly against COVID-19.

But he didn't hesitate to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to deploy the military on American streets against protests.

Repression in DC, a thread.

[Jason Toff @jasontoff]

I work at Facebook and I am not proud of how we’re showing up. The majority of coworkers I’ve spoken to feel the same way. We are making our voice heard.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

The police really are the ones rioting and turning up the violence against Black people everywhere right now.

There is a spectrum of racism. And today we see, it starts with Amy Cooper and ends with George Floyd. It is ALL toxic. The next time a black person tells you of racism believe them. Don’t ask for proof, ask how to help, and stand by their side in that change. #BlackLivesMatter

[W. Kamau Bell @wkamaubell]

Always remember that Amy Cooper told Christian Cooper, a Black man, that she was calling the cops and "I'm going to tell them there's an African American man threatening my life."

She told him that she was going lie. And she knew that she was threatening his life.

DACA makes me feel like I have a two year USA subscription with limited access.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

AmyCooper is still lying if she claims she isn’t racist. What she did is a textbook example of how systemic racism operates. She was never fearful. She wanted to use her status as a white woman & the assistance of police as a racist institution to inflict violence on a Black man.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Y’all the electoral system is not the extent of our power. Our labor is actually our greatest point of leverage if folks would be willing to work together in solidarity instead of worshiping the ownership class that oppresses us & makes sure our votes amount to little change.
