Jacob Blake. COVID-19. Assault on our elections. Join me and @TIME tomorrow at 1pm ET for #TIME100Talks. https://t.co/2my1JETRd7 https://t.co/dLDahfw5Y5
Jacob Blake broke up a fight and police shot shot him in the back seven times. Dylan Roof killed nine people at Emanuel AME Church and police bought him Burger King.
Trayford has passed. Jacob is fighting for his life. 60 days ago, we passed legislation to make it easier to prosecute police misconduct and to remove bad actors from departments while also investing in our communities. The Senate and the White House could act TOMORROW.

When Bill Barr testifies tomorrow, there will be one question that at the heart of the hearing: Do you work for the American people or is your job to protect, cover up and facilitate corruption committed by Donald Trump?
We passed the Heroes Act 72 days ago in the House of Representatives. There is a tsunami of evictions coming in this country. Why are Republicans waited to act? https://t.co/xF2qw4Hgt8
Last month, Vice President Pence wrote "we are winning the fight against the invisible enemy." 40,000 Americans have died since then. We're not testing where we should be. The virus isn't contained. This is the United States of America, when will there be a national strategy? https://t.co/0hsPSymyaJ
If it’s not safe enough for the Republican Convention, it’s not safe enough for our kids to go to school.
George Floyd was murdered one month ago today. Chokeholds still aren't banned nationwide. How much longer must the American people wait for the Senate to hear their cries and ACT?

The White House flying the flag at half-staff for one day is insulting. The flag should fly at half-staff throughout the entire country until Congressman Lewis is in his final resting place. https://t.co/klUYu1cA0c
More people have been arrested for protesting the murder of Breonna Taylor than for the actual murder of Breonna Taylor.
While we celebrate the progress we’ve made since, it is vital we contextualize the pain gripping the country today. It’s the same pain we’ve carried for 400 years. It’s the same yearning to be free. Let us march on, until victory is won.
On Juneteenth, Trump wanted to give a speech where hundreds of African Americans were massacred. Yesterday, he delivered remarks on sacred Native lands. The independence promised on July 4, 1776 was not for all. It was not for those killed in Tulsa. It was for the Sioux People.
For Oscar. For Tamir. For Philano. For Alton. For Atatiana. For Eric. For Michael. For Breonna. For George. For all the names we may never know. The House of Representatives has just passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020.

Now is not the time to study chokeholds, it's time to ban them. Now is not the time to study no-knock warrants, it's time to ban them. The cries in the street are not for symbolism, they are for substance. We must pass the #JusticeInPolicing Act.

The Justice in Policing Act allows communities to reimagine what public safety should look like. Police brutality isn’t it. https://t.co/PPBFMD1JlF
If our bill was law, Breonna Taylor would be alive because no-knock warrants for drugs would've been banned. https://t.co/PAUlHwwOzq
.@TheBlackCaucus will be introducing new legislation directly addressing police brutality and criminal justice reform. https://t.co/PIL1K3Gvw1
George Floyd was murdered 9 days ago. Three police officers who helped facilitate his murder still roam free. Breonna Taylor was murdered 82 days ago. Every single one of the officers who were involved still roam free.

George Floyd was pinned with a knee on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. That’s about as long as it took Donald Trump to gas protesters for a photo-op. Where is the justice? https://t.co/XzzD98YIl4

.@TheBlackCaucus will be introducing legislation to address laws that shield police officers from ever being accountable for murdering citizens.
Black lives didn’t matter when our ancestors were enslaved. Black lives didn’t matter as we were lynched. We could not breathe on the boats. We could not breathe under trees. We cannot breathe with knees on our necks. 2/2
This is a video of George Floyd being slowly murdered by a police officer while a crowd of people watch. It’s consistent with US history. 1/ https://t.co/hvIaW171uw

Black lives lost for no reason. Years ago you weren't prosecuted for lynching Black people. Today, the noose has been replaced with a gun. Still no justice.
Trayvon was walking home. Oscar was riding the train. Tamir was playing outside. Charleena, Atatiana, Aiyana and Botham were all at home. Eric and Philando were following orders. Ahmaud was jogging.
Why fill out the census? Funding for school lunch for kids who can’t afford it. https://t.co/Lv6ko4FvDb https://t.co/ySfVnmQopE

We're in a pandemic. No one should be in jail because they violated parole by missing a meeting. No one should be in prison because they couldn't make $1,000 bail.
