“The end is inherent in the means.”- Mahatma Gandhi. The reason we have to remain peaceful no matter what abuse is thrown at us is because whatever we do is infused with the consciousness w/ which we do it. How we do something goes far toward determining what ultimately gets done

In city after city, changes are happening. City councils and mayors announcing re-allocation of police resources. Confederate statues being torn down. Abusive police techniques being banned. The protests are working but we can’t let up. We have to stay on this and we can’t let go

All of this is happening because in 2015 SCOTUS started chipping away at the 1965 Voting Rights Act! Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented, warning that this would happen. She said if we weakened the umbrella then we’d start getting rained on again. As usual she was right, of course.
The GOP position (at least in Georgia) appears too be in-person voting is both a sacred right and something that should be made as hard to do as possible.

If any Georgia voter reads this, know how many of us are thinking about you today. We know what you’re going through and we have great admiration for your courage and persistence. Stay in line, don’t give up, you’re doing such a patriotic service and we’re all shouting “Bravo!”
Wow. This is voting line in a precinct in Atlanta #Georgia today. Long waits, broken machines, and missing mail in ballots are being reported.
State has history of election problems. Going to be a long primary day there:

2/ We need more than transformation of policing. We also need food for the hungry. We need a moratorium on evictions. We need $2k/mo. for every adult & $1K/mo every child until the pandemic is over. Don’t let one tragedy obscure the others. We need to call for fundamental change.

1/Millions of people are living with Depression era hardship, and officialdom’s main way of dealing with it is by pretending it’s not happening. If we think things are exploding now, just wait til hunger and homelessness start exponentially climbing. #Directcashrelief

Militarizing the police was inevitable as war became such a lucrative business. Defense contractors are always convincing the Pentagon that last year’s model of military gear isn’t good enough & they need new ones. “Why don’t you just send the old equipment to the boys at home?”

They’ll suppress votes & we’ll stand in line for hours if necessary. They’ll intimidate us with police & we’ll protest in peace despite the abuse. They’ll seek to control & we’ll continue to stand up to them. Liberty & justice are not just words to us.They cannot have our country
