George Floyd’s life mattered. Justice has been served.
Nothing will bring him back. But we owe it to Mr. Floyd, his family, and far too many others like him to take meaningful action to reform our policing system. We can start by passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

So, the former POTUS was caught on tape committing a felony by telling SecState Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes."
But it's Rep. Cannon who gets arrested for knocking on Gov. Kemp’s office door and charged with 2 felonies?
She did not deserve this.

This is wild. Georgia Rep. Park Cannon was detained by police for knocking on Gov. Brian Kemp’s door.

Church. School. Store. Mall. Concert. Theater. Parlor. Club. Restaurant. In recent years, mass shootings happened at all these venues. Folks can talk 2nd amendment all they want but I propose we add a 28th amendment: the freedom to not get shot by a weapon meant for war.

We are losing an entire generation of civil rights leaders: Vernon Jordan, John Lewis, Rev. C.T. Vivian, Rev. Joseph Lowery, Emma Sanders, Charles Evers, Elijah Cummings, Amelia Boynton Robinson, and so many more.
May they all rest in power.

At the end of the day, it all boils down to conviction. If we don’t convict 45, we are asking for all of this to happen again.

All but 5 GOP Senators think it's unconstitutional to convict a president who incited an attempted overthrow of the U.S. government.

America has used many ways to honor past presidents -- monuments, streets, libraries, parks, names of cities, etc...
But what's the best way to dishonor a past president? Asking for a friend.
