RT @GunnelsWarren: I still cannot get over the fact that the House Armed Services Committee, run by Democrats, voted 56-0 to give Trump's Pentagon $740 billion during a pandemic - 53% of our total discretionary budget. And they named the bill after a Republican defense hawk. https://t.co/TIqEek4Gyp

RT @spekulation: I don't think "if you defund us then we'll only keep the white officers," is the convincing argument they think it is.

RT @benwikler: Yesterday, Republican activists on the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld the GOP legislature’s lame-duck power grab. Today, they executed a power grab of their own, stripping away veto powers that Governor Evers was elected to wield. It's a deliberate diminishment of democracy.

RT @ScottHech: This framing is problematic. Just because a DA is Black doesn’t mean they protect Black lives. Lacey hasn’t prosecuted any of the 609 cops who killed civilians. Kym Worthy (Detroit) has imprisoned 1000s of innocent Black people & fought their exonerations. https://t.co/dNrhLgtcX9

RT @matthewferner: This is garbage framing @cnn. It's not "surprising" at all, BLM doesn't support an elected just because they are Black. Lacey's record is awful for Black lives: She's sent 22 ppl to death row, all ppl of color, never charged an LAPD cop for a shooting, etc https://t.co/kT5AJARgkQ
