Comment: the people have spoken loudly. By registering a massive stay away protest vote. By giving big incumbents a headache 🤕. And in many, many wonderful small examples by deciding that they, the people, will govern themselves. Active citizens. ✊🏾

"While it is usually associated with 'burnout' seen in first responders such as police and medical personnel, we are starting to realise that many development sector professionals have more in common with first responders than one might think."

Absolutely devastated to hear that we have lost Karima Brown to COVID-19. I've known her since the 1980s in Cape Town fighting for justice, democracy and non-racialism in UDF structures. She never stopped that fight. Long live her fighting spirit, long live! #RIPKarimaBrown

Hi, the president can release statements via the White House anytime he wants. Just FYI.

@JJ_Stellies What Principle? Gary Player, the guy who lost to Papwa Sewgolam and watched from the Clubhouse while he ate his lunch in his car? And as he collected his trophy outside in the rain? The fascist sympathizer Gary Player? Sounds about right actually.

[Jonathan Jansen @JJ_Stellies]

Why is Gary Player accepting the US Medal of Freedom today from a man who incited insurrection yesterday? Gary, stand down on principle. Don’t embarrass South Africa

I was raised in the “third world” and I assure you, this is not how we transfer power after elections.

[Josh Shapiro @JoshShapiroPA]

As these Pennsylvania Republican congressmen begin to speak, it's important to note that they will literally be arguing that the election that produced their victories was somehow illegal but that they should retain their seats in Congress.

We no longer need to engage in hypothetical "what ifs."

White protestors, armed with rifles, aggressively confront the police to defend their right to a speedy haircut.

Nothing.

Unarmed Black protestors congregating at the site of a police murder.

Tear gas and riot police

I've organized dozens of protests, some in DC. I have witnessed the efficiency and ruthlessness that law enforcement can deploy when it's ready.

DC is probably the most policed metro area in the world.

This happened only though the complicity of law enforcement.

@richardmoultrie @mfullard2 Yes! And I have the photos to prove it!

@mfullard2 Now that @richardmoultrie liked that tweet I have to add the part where he made me repeat the story to the Butler's Pizza delivery guy that night! 😂

[Ruen Govinder @ruen]

@mfullard2 I remember they sang Amazing Grace because it was St Patrick's Day. And they sang 'I still haven't found what I'm looking for'. I have my autographed CD still.
