Hey @RichardGrenell, would you like to walk back your “no tear gas was used” propaganda? cc: @RyanLizza
US Park Police: It was a “mistake” to say no tear gas was used in Lafayette Square. "It was a mistake on our part for using ‘tear gas’ because we just assumed people would think CS or CN [two common forms of tear gas] "vox.com/2020/6/5/21281604/la… via @AlexWardVox

These words of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. were first expressed in 1964. 56 years later, they remain every bit as timely and relevant. We need to remember them. Even more, we need to act on them. Now. – at New York, NY

Sigh...this is big news: BLS says it is working to fix a "misclassification error" and after fixing it the unemployment rate would have been about 3 points higher than reported, meaning 16.3%, not 13.3% as Trump was gloating about. washingtonpost.com/business/…

I am hereby ordering all military and national guard presence off the streets of the nation effective immediately. Because just like Donald Trump, I am the unelected President of the United States.

Retweet if you agree the officer who slammed the 75-yr-old man to the pavement and watched his head bleed shouldn’t be a policeman
Did this elderly man, who is bleeding out, while police walk by, survive?

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “A riot is the language of the unheard.” If we are more concerned about rioting than we are about systemic racism, we are not listening. We are the problem. #txed #txlege

Tell the Senate, just in case we don't get enough Electoral votes dump trump, we're going to get rid of the GOP Senators so you can impeach him next time!
When a president is fearful and flailing, Lacks the capacity to lead and to unify, Turns the American military against its own citizens, And tear gasses peaceful protestors to make way for a photo op, We must do what he cannot: Bring people together, and fix a broken system.
