1/ While #BLM is the largest protest movement in history of the US, Congress has not responded to it with even one piece of legislation. That’s how unresponsive Congress is to the voices of the people.

2/ That’s why the most powerful direct action at this point (not instead of but in addition to others) is marching to the voting booth. Has the system been corrupted? Yes - but don’t let it be corrupted further by not using it at all. Friends don’t let friends not vote. #Nov3rd

Maybe because it's not a protest movement?

Booker and Harris tried, but @randPaul blocked the anti-lynching bill for “something better” that will never come.

My understanding is different. The Dem House immediately proposed legislation addressing police reform, the crux of the BLM movement. The GOP Senate refused to negotiate in good faith and pass it.

Rand Paul wrote the Breonna Taylor act and got attacked. Only local governments can do anything about cops and where they have reduced funds for cops murders have gone up. They March around intimidated and sometimes destroy with no sustainable goal.

This is 100% bullshit. npr.org/2020/06/17/879081319… now, I am against some of the stuff in this bill, but it was Democrats who didn't want to come to the table because of an election year.
