RT @playercoalition: Thank you governor @GavinNewsom for signing the #RacialJusticeAct and helping root racism out of the CA justice system.

RT @mehdirhasan: “It’s happening in public, in plain view.” @chrislhayes is spot on. And that’s part of the problem - we think what Trump is doing is somehow less of a conspiracy or an attempt at a crime because he isn’t doing it in secret or private but openly, in front of us all. https://t.co/9DGOm2UpZr
RT @nytimes: The racial disparity is even starker among police leadership: Just 10% of police chiefs are not white, but the trends vary. — In cities with more than a 250,000 people, almost one-fifth of the chiefs were Black. — In places fewer than 100,000 people, just 4% were Black. https://t.co/FB4HANQPFi
RT @kai_newkirk: The fascist threat is real.

RT @JWKeady: This (tragically) is a perfect example of why we need to decrease (or defund) police budgets and increase public budgets for social workers, mental health professionals, etc. They should be the first responders (with police as back up) on calls like this.

RT @JWoodJourno: In calling off planned protests at the 1967 Kentucky Derby amid high tensions in Louisville, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said: "Sometimes the prediction of a race riot is an invitation to riot," I've been thinking about that quote a lot since I first read it a few weeks ago. https://t.co/Kd90gh9kHb
