George Floyd should be alive today.
He should be raising his daughter, living his life.
Five years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags.
His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.”
Let’s stop failing her. Let’s stop failing him.
Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

In 1968, Tommie Smith and John Carlos performed the Black Power salute at the Olympics that outraged millions of white Americans.
—The was an act of protest by the U.S. athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during their medal ceremony at the 1968 Summer Olympics in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City.
As they turned to face their flags and hear the American national anthem (The Star-Spangled Banner), they each raised a Black-gloved fist and kept them raised until the anthem had finished. Smith, Carlos and Australian silver medalist Peter Norman all wore human rights badges on their jackets.
The event is regarded as one of the most overtly political statements in the history of the modern Olympic Games.
Both athletes were kicked off the US team for their protest.

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

Trump’s pardons sent a message: commit violence for me, and you’ll get a free pass. Now, many of these same criminals are reoffending.
We owe it to law enforcement—and to public safety—to track the dangerous people Trump set loose.

Peep game: 62 percent of SNAP recipients are white. But if clowns like this can present racist tropes to grossly misrepresent who the average SNAP recipient is (read: it’s the Black and brown folks out here scamming!) then it not only gives people permission to dehumanize poor folks, but convinces the white people who also need SNAP to vote against themselves.
In 2022, 50 percent of SNAP recipients with children earned income — so they also paid taxes. In general, a lot of people on SNAP use it to supplement low wages.
The companies that employ the largest percentage of SNAP recipients are Walmart and McDonalds. Walmart has 14,000 employees on SNAP and 10,000 on Medicaid.
So Nick, the next time you go to Walmart or McDonalds, go ask an employee where their $1,200 rims are.
