NYC based lawyer. Trying to do a little good where I can. Thoughts are my own and don't reflect those of my company. Not giving legal advice, don't ask.

White people’s support for BLM spiked after George Floyd and Breonna Taylor’s murders. Now, that support is even lower than it was prior to their deaths.
Let that sink in for a moment.
“After Mr. Floyd’s death, Republicans reported much stronger support for Black Lives Matter than they had earlier in 2020,” write @pikachudy and @hakeemjefferson. “But perhaps even more striking is its rapid decline.” nyti.ms/3oMcAE3

Very disturbing scenes of violence in NI tonight. All people of influence, political and community leaders, have a responsibility to do what they can to defuse tension.
There have been fresh disturbances in Belfast, where police officers have come under attack from Loyalist youths in the Shankill Road area. A city bus was petrol bombed and hijacked and a press photographer was assaulted | Read more: bit.ly/39RQNoe

Thank You.

JUST IN: “This is not news we deliver lightly,” @margbrennan says as she reports: Trump Cabinet secretaries are discussing invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump. Nothing formal yet presented to VP Pence.
“I’m talking about actual members of the Cabinet,” she says
Pence and cabinet should #invokethe25th immediately. Time to take abnormal steps to end an abnormal presidency. Let's be done with this nonsense.
Thankful to be a part of this organization and task force. I also hope my congressman @BillPascrell add his name to those advocating for impeachment.
