The Thread, US

Beneath the tension that divides us is a thread that unites us.

My dad is a lifelong Republican. He lives in TX. He entered last night undecided.

He just texted to say that, even though he agrees w/ Trump on a lot of policies, the debate showed him that he cannot hold his nose & vote for him.

There are a lot of voters like my dad out there

Breaking: A member of the Breonna Taylor grand jury just filed a remarkable motion asking a judge to release the entire proceedings of the grand jury. The motion strongly suggests that Attorney General Cameron's public comments contradict what was presented to the grand jury.

It would be great if there were people you could call for help that didn’t bring guns.

@realDonaldTrump Isn’t it your job to see that it wasn’t safe for many people who are your responsiblity to protect?

We are in the age of overwhelming information and underwhelming fact checking and research. Don���t just post something bc it aligns with things you already believe. Be diligent in finding facts. Misinformation is dangerous af.

And y’all who sharing the lil Black boy hugging the policeman from a few years back to show “peace” is disgusting to me. That Black boy was killed with his siblings by his same White adopted parents who brought him to that protest. Drove off a cliff with him and his siblings.

The bishop of St. John's Church says her church was used as a "prop" for Trump's violent messaging on the protests. She condemned his using tear gas on peaceful protesters for a photo op as "antithetical to everything" followers of Jesus should believe. https://t.co/FfkzTtrBsP
