No #BillMaher it’s not about police stress, training or pay. Please be quiet. Let’s talk about how racial stress and police violence affect Black people. #JusticeforTyreNichols #BlackLivesMatter #EndPoliceTrafficStops

In Durham NC, we are fighting back by passing out free Black history books and teaching our youth ourselves on the street.

After GOP Rep. Roger Williams delivered a 'socialism bad, capitalism good' speech on the House floor, Rep. Maxine Waters was ready with the receipts:
'I do wonder whether Mr. Williams views the $1.43M he received in debt forgiveness was consistent with his views on socialism'

When Democrats proposed a bill to probe American police and military for neo-Nazis, not a single member of House Republicans voted in favor of it, but when the GOP proposes a bill to "dEnOuNcE tHe hOrRoRs oF sOcIaLiSm," half of House Democrats votes in favor of it. What a joke.

Since Republicans are yelling "socialism!," you should know it's at least a 60 year old tactic.

I will continue to speak for the families who are seeking justice around the world— whether they are displaced in refugee camps or hiding under their bed somewhere like I was.
I didn’t come to Congress to be silent. I came to Congress to be their voice.

Did you know on this day in 1909 Pittsburgh police arrested 200 Black men for being 'unemployed'? They were also accused of attacking white women & sent to forced labor.
See the racist articles below - one from the NYT. Don't ever tell me the media was once "objective."

Traffic stops make up the majority of police interactions but incidents going back decades have shown us that they can be deadly for Black people. We must demand an end to police traffic stops nationally, as some cities are already figuring it out. #JusticeForTyre

We already have plenty examples of traffic enforcement that doesn’t rely on armed police, for example crossing guards and automated citations for running a toll booth. Many places around the world already do this. #justicefortyrenichols #blacklivesmatter

Tyre Nichols was killed by Black, college educated cops who received extra training & passed required psychological exams
How’s that “We-don’t need-to-defund-the-police-we-just-need-a-better-trained-more-educated-more-diverse-police-force” thing working out?

Here’s where it stands today. Political will at the local level failed, but the point is a lot of this comes down to political will to change.

Proving that you can #DefundPolice or #AbolishPolice when you want to..
After #AhmaudArbery was murdered the Glynn County police department was abolished by legislation led by republicans in the Georgia Assembly.
It’s time for new solutions and political will.

“The largest predictor of police violence in America is not poor training, lack of discipline, or militarization. The largest predictor is simply contact with the police and the most common contact with police is traffic stops.” #justicefortyre

I put them straight into my trash can.

With Republicans stopping at nothing to strip away our bodily autonomy, we're using every tool to push back.
Ending the Hyde Amendment is critical & would help ensure everyone can get the abortion care they need.
Our EACH Act does just that. #BeBoldEndHyde
