A Black man was murdered. They strangled the life from his body. On camera. We all saw it. Just feet away. Clear as day. He pleaded for his life. They kept strangling him. Eric Garner is dead. The cameraman is jailed. And the killer is still making salary. This is white supremacy
"To meet our legal obligation, Gov. Lee signed the same proclamation that has been signed in years past. To be clear, a new law has not been signed – it’s a proclamation in accordance with the existing law that the governor must follow." SO CHANGE THE LAW! https://t.co/EOKsP1V4Ct
There should be a climate debate. And a healthcare debate. And a wages debate. And a racial justice debate. And so on.
Debates should go deeper on fewer issues. Generalist debates make it easier for candidates to hide ignorance and harder for audiences to follow along.
@JoyAnnReid I kinda got misty eyed. I also live in Tennessee and would LOVE to see obstructionists like Mc Connell be ousted. (Not that I love our Senators here—they don’t listen to us. But he has more power and gave the rest of them permission to act so badly.)
Our border patrol system is broken. And part of the reason it stays broken is because it’s kept secret. The American people must see what is being carried out in their name. The @HispanicCaucus led a delegation of members of Congress to visit 2 border patrol facilities.
