Just to be completely clear today, pointed questions like "Where is the teargas?" or "Why don't we see more choke slams?" are not demands for police brutality. They are rhetorical questions meant to highlight the fact that police *do* know how to avoid police brutality.

Hmm. What do you call a billionaire who registered a $40 million, 164-foot yacht in the Cayman Islands to avoid $2.4 million in U.S. taxes, while undermining public schools? The worst Education Secretary in the history of America. Bye-bye, Betsy DeVos. You won't be missed.

Now back to square one. Kids out of cages. Time to fix the system.
You can’t vote away racism. It’s now gonna be an uphill battle to fix this country. Has Trump conceded yet? Or just the news outlets. Enjoy the day but remember how much is left to do & don’t forget who got u here
