Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop.

Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing.

His crime—asking police for help.

We're incredibly proud to be the first unionized rock climbing gym in the US! :D

[Steven Greenhouse @greenhousenyt]

MOVING ON UP -- Workers at Movement Crystal City in Virginia have made their rock climbing gym the first in the U.S. to unionize.

The workers voted 28 to 14 in favor of unionizing.

@JillFilipovic Employers need targeted training designed for their workforce. A one-size-fits all module is bare minimum - employees need to know how to recognize + report. I do employment law, and @ least once/yr am shocked at what people believe is OK if no training.

[Michelle B @mfb998]

@JillFilipovic Good sexual harassment prevention training should absolutely be something that an employer provides. but must also 1. pay ee's for attending; 2. have effective sex hx reporting & anti-retal. policies in place, and 3. follow them. see https://t.co/MAeIhnJhW1

Wearing a mask isn't a political statement — it's a patriotic duty.

[Vox @voxdotcom]

Democrats want to rebuild the State Department. They’re deeply divided over how. https://t.co/4cfkNKl7c9

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

A job is about a lot more than a paycheck.

It's about dignity. It's about respect. It's about being able to look your kid in the eye and say everything will be okay.

Too many people today can't do that — and it's got to change.

We totally knew this was coming, but this month is a disaster for working women

216K men did

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Be a patriot. Do your part.

Wearing a mask will protect you. But it will also protect those around you — your mom, your dad, your son, your daughter, your neighbor, your co-worker.

Don’t just do it for yourself. Do it for the people you love.

Overcome with joy here. SCOTUS did it. Title VII protects against sex orientation and transgender status.

#AhmadArbery. Say his name.

[Charles Booker @Booker4KY]

I didn’t know #AhmadArbery when I spoke these words, but watching the terrifying video of his murder took me back to this moment. Dr. King said, “law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me.” Georgia needs hate crime legislation.

Ahmad’s life matters too.

[Karine Jean-Pierre @K_JeanPierre]

Say his name #AhmadArbery.

@MikeElk Do it now - I had an abscess in a molar, and it was almost the most pain I've had - aside from getting my brain drilled -- couldnt sleep or eat. molar infections also get very serious very quickly. Do it now before hospitals are overwhelmed. Then burn clothes and stay home.
