2/ So here’s a story from the past I want to share with you. I know it because I was there. They killed JFK. The tears flowed, but we survived. They killed Martin. The tears flowed, but we survived. They killed Bobby. The tears flowed, but we survived.

1/ I think the younger you are the more you know certain things and the older you are the more you know certain other things. I think the older ones among us are keepers of the story, and sometimes knowing the stories of the past can inspire or comfort us in the present.

Bear witness.
WARNING: Violent footage of the #Boogaloo shooter in this video. He is not confronted by police or SWAT but ignored & allowed to walk out of the area while trying to surrender. @KenoshaPolice see armed white men as allies, not perpetrators even after they shoot people.

I can’t imagine anyone whose heart isn’t breaking about now. It’s been said that there’s more room in a broken heart, and maybe a good cry is what a lot of us need.

Yes, I’ve read that. And I knew when I quoted him that those kinds of comments would probably be coming.

We’re at a point where we need a miracle now. Feeling the grief of this moment feels to me as important as trying to figure it out. The answer lies beyond the mortal mind, beyond the realm of thought that dominates the world. I’m praying as much as I’m thinking.

Gandhi said “politics should be sacred,” meaning not that it should be religious but that it should speak to the deepest part of who we are.

There was an evil genius to tonight. He’s ushered in an era of political theater meant more for a television audience than for a political audience, pulling on uninformed heartstrings with outrageous lies combined with genuinely touching moments. He’s a worthy adversary. Game on.

Chad Wolf at DHS, DeJoy at USPS, Barr at DOJ, etc. The goal is to appoint agency heads answerable not to the law but to his personal will. All others are either purged or end up resigning as a matter of integrity. This is the road to dictatorial power. google.com/amp/s/www.politic…

This is important, but the fundamental changes need to go deeper. We shouldn’t be okay with simply making an unjust system less unjust.
The Senate needs to immediately pass the legislation I introduced with @SenSanders and @SenWarren to abolish qualified immunity for law enforcement officers once and for all.
