- Do agree with the president in slowing down nationwide COVID-19 testing?
- Are you ok with the president's decision to suddenly fire Berman?
- What are your thoughts on Bolton's China/Trump claims? @TuesdaysToomey

About time. @LoriTharps only wrote about the case for it YEARS AGO.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Impeach Bill Barr. Pass it on.

[The Hoarse Whisperer @TheRealHoarse]

And Barr’s hamhanded attempt to push him out and replace him with a guy with no prosecutorial experience suggests it was suddenly very urgent.

So, what was Berman close to finding out?

Who from Trump’s camp found out SDNY was about to look under the right rock?

A Performance of Freedom |
The policing of Black bodies began as soon as there was a Philadelphia. @NathanielPopkin traces this long history and suggests how today's protests continue and also defy it >>https://t.co/RPS1bG8lvr

"Cross has been afraid to demand rights for her people in the past because of backlash she might face. “But if I don’t fight for what is right, what kind of world am I passing down to the beautiful black and brown babies? My young family members?” she asked."

[WritersResistPHL @ResistPHL]

"While Mayor Jim Kenney and Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw approved its use during protests, tear gas is considered a chemical weapon and formally banned in warfare by the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention." https://t.co/6OmcNtdiF0

"Theatre in the X.. has a simple mission: To bring quality productions to a community largely ignored by mainstream theaters. Everything is free. "It’s part of West Philly summer."" #NoToZeroArts https://t.co/VWUmYV4qut
