A Man Lynched Today

Between 1865 and 1965, thousands were killed simply for demanding equal rights. We hang our flag out on the digital 5th Avenue for them.

Before the Republican talking heads chalk this up to “Chicago violence”:

Highland Park is 30 miles north of Chicago. It’s also one of the most affluent suburbs and has a non existent crime rate

This is not a Chicago problem, it’s an America problem. Happy 4th!

[Pugs Moran/Sox Unc who still blames the "Dibber" @pugsandco]

I'm seeing people try and say Highland Park is typical "Chicago".

Highland Park Illinois is where Michael Jordan lived.
It's where 16 Candles, Home Alone, Risky Business, and Ferris Bueller were filmed.

This is not "Chicago".
It's one of the wealthiest towns in America

How do you shoot 60 rounds into someone that’s unarmed, then handcuff his lifeless body. This is a new level of awful.

They shot him 60 times.
They shot him 60 times.
They shot him 60 times.

Say his name. #JaylandWalker

@AltWASONPS Use federal property as safe zones/areas of care?

@drdesrochers In other words, Hawley is hoping that the destruction of Roe will result in a mass-exodus of women and people of color out of the Red states so as to put more Congressional power in the hands of an even smaller percentage of white people.

The result of that will be civil war.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Five dollars says white women will still vote for the GOP in the midterms.

It’s not that they don’t care…

They just don’t care ENOUGH.

$10 says the replies have 30 variations of “not all white women”

They care about that.

[John Fetterman @JohnFetterman]

I *literally* can’t stress this enough.

Maintaining our Senate majority + flipping PA blue 🔵 has never been more important.

Can you rush a donation of $10 or any amount to our campaign right now? The future of our Democracy all comes down to PA. https://t.co/j8CPEOXbMI

The GOP Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade is about one thing: Imposing Christian Nationalism. Period.

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

Lot of ink spilled over the years about conservative white resentment and how much we need to pay attention to it.

About time attention was paid to the resentment the rest of us feel, forced to live in a country that accommodates conservative white assholes as a 1st priority.

[American Historical Association @AHAhistorians]

In response to ongoing racist violence in the United States, we have compiled a list of AHA resources on the history of racist violence. Use them in classrooms, news articles, and scholarship. #twitterstorians #sschat https://t.co/MBeoAHMS8j
