this may be the largest, most diverse movement in american history. #BlackLivesMatter
conservatives a month ago: “why should we listen to the government and stay home? you are all sheep, this is a free country!”

@amazon needs to stop integrating Ring cameras w/ police depts & selling facial recognition tech to ICE.
@Nextdoor needs to publicly deal w/ their Karen problem
Commercial banks need to stop lobbying against the Community Reinvestment Act
Name yours ⬇️
