"It's amazing how those mail-in ballots are so one-sided," Trump says after relentlessly trashing mail-in ballots and thus getting his supporters to not want to use them.

Counting all votes isn't fraud. Trying to prevent all votes from being counted is fraud.

Trump talking about going back to “the core values of this country” reminds me of going to Montpelier with @ProfJeffries and looking at the interactive exhibit that shows where the Constitution is implicitly racist

[Hasan Kwame Jeffries @ProfJeffries]

John Lewis was the youngest speaker at the 1963 March on Washington—where MLK gave the "I have a dream" speech—and the speech Lewis wrote that day was so incendiary that the march organizers wouldn't let him deliver it as written.

Honor John Lewis’ life by restoring the Voting Rights Act.

[Beau Willimon @BeauWillimon]

John Lewis showed us how it’s done. What a remarkable, inspiring life. What a leader. What a fighter. What a gracious, generous, unrelenting presence. Such a loss. But his work will rouse hearts and spark change for generations to come. The good trouble carries on.

The one thing I know about YOU, is that YOU were not always as "WOKE" as you are right now.

So show some GRACE to those who are just beginning this learning journey.

#ELLABAKER advised: "Start where people are." These are words to organize by.

I'm appalled by LMPD's nearly BLANK incident report from the investigation of #BreonnaTaylor's murder. It lists "NONE" under Breonna's injuries... She was SHOT 8 TIMES!! It took 3 months to produce and release this report publicly – and THIS is what we get?! #JusticeForBre

The “war on drugs” was intentionally created to incarcerate black people en masse.

Powerful words from Dr. Hasan Jeffries (@ProfJeffries) today at the #ohiostateprotest:

"The time for silence is over. Keep letting your voices be heard. The world sees you. People in power see you. The police see you. We see you. And we need you."

this is a great clip to watch (especially if you’re not from the US) as an introduction to why the phrase ‘systemic racism’ exists; it goes much deeper than skin color discrimination by individuals

the most important class I’ve taken throughout college is History 3083: the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements, taught by @ProfJeffries
the first thing our class ever read was his article called “Challenging the Master Narrative: Teaching the CRM Accurately and Effectively”

Racism is not a difference of opinion.
