Georgia, thank you. Together, we have changed the course of our state for the better. But our work is not done.

This is so profoundly disappointing. In the midst of a pandemic, with so many unable to pay rent, our response is to legislate cruelty?

so eating and being served at a restaurant in a tent is okay, but living in one because you have nowhere else to go is not. taking up public space is okay, but only as a consumer.

A demagogue can win an election & become president. He can hold the base. But if checked and constrained by Republican elected officials and business and opinion leaders, the damage he can do is limited. The capitulation of GOP and conservative elites is the story of these years.

Must-read. Confirms our @NBCNews reporting on the Stephen Miller-led Situation Room meeting where he demanded a show-of-hands vote to separate kids.
NEW: “We need to take away children,” AG Sessions told prosecutors, according to a draft DOJ IG report. That statement contradicts Sessions’ previous claim that “we never really intended” to separate children. w/@shearm @ktbenner nytimes.com/2020/10/06/us/po…

In 2017, Trump paid $750 in taxes. That same year undocumented immigrants paid over 27 Billion. Remind me, who’s the burden on the economy?

It truly is incredible to see how little Trump & McConnell have done to try to stop or even address more than 200,000 American deaths. And yet, with RBG’s death, they have shown how fast they can move—especially when trying to cut the American people out of an unpopular process.

In America, even the act of caring for our young is treated as a threat. It is as if we are in a persistent state of resistance when we do merely the things that come naturally. Even while sleeping. Even when awakened by the scathing flames of authoritarianism. There is no rest.

When the cops killed 7 y/o Aiyana Jones in Detroit during a no knock raid, they arrested her aunt saying she grabbed their gun. The aunt said she was grabbing Aiyana because a flash bang had set the baby on fire. During the trial, the judge threatened the aunt for her outbursts.

This is one of our clients from BLM v Garcetti. Still being arbitrarily blocked from reporting by LAPD. Can anyone from the city explain how this could be lawful? @Mike_Feuer @LACity @MayorOfLA @LATACO

Am I the only one that thinks continually asking Trump at pressers if he will commit to a peaceful exit only gives him confidence that he has a different choice? Quit fucking asking. You don’t ask a kid if they will go to bed or stay up all night. You put that little bitch to bed

I don’t care so much about President Trump’s views about a peaceful transition of power as I do the views of every GOP elected & appointed official from Congress and the federal cabinet down to county sheriff.

1% of killings by police nationwide result in officers being charged with a crime and even fewer are charged with murder. And officers are convicted of a crime in only 1 in every 300 killings. Virtually zero accountability for police violence in America.
