White people, be the change with us.

Demand your legislators pass reforms like this one from Congressional Black Caucus chair Representative Karen Bass.

Elect more black leaders and leaders who will ally with us to enact this type of legislation.

It's time for you to pick up the ball. You can't forget about this by next month.

- A US Senator is talking about developing a bill to ban the use of military against protestors. Yes, it's just talk for now, but every bill has to start somewhere: https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/06/02/us/politics/02reuters-minneapolis-police-defense-bill.html

- Colorado lawmakers are discussing a police reform bill that removes immunity from prosecution for officers (HOW WAS THIS EVER A THING), empowers the state AG to investigate incidents, banning fired officers from getting jobs in neighboring precincts, and more: https://kdvr.com/news/politics/colorado-democrats-to-introduce-police-accountability-bill/

If you’re looking for signs of hope, here’s a 🧵 of changes I’ve seen in the news. I’m sure there are more, let’s pile ‘em on.

Mike Mullen: ‘I Cannot Remain Silent’ https://daringfireball.net/linked/2020/06/03/mullen-cannot-remain-silent

Approaching 200 serious press freedom violations nationwide in less than a week. The vast majority have been perpetrated by police.

So unprecedented it's hard to put into words.

In 2019, we tracked 150 violations ALL YEAR. https://twitter.com/uspresstracker/status/1267878024365723650

Americans: several states are having primaries today. I know the presidential race is pretty much decided, but this year 1/3 of US Senators, the entire House of Representatives and a whole lot of state and local officials are also in the primaries. In many non-swing states, the primaries effectively decide who is getting the office. This is arguable a more important election.

"“It is un-American to use our service members to ‘dominate’ civilians, as both the President and Secretary of Defense have suggested,” House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith (D-Wash.) said in a statement. “We live in a democracy, not a dictatorship.”

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) decried Trump’s remarks as “fascist,” while Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) tweeted that Trump had “just declared war on millions of Americans and the 1st Amendment.”

"It was later revealed that Trump instigated the assault on protesters specifically to make a gesture of walking to St. John’s church.

Nothing could be more representative of the dangerous narcissism of a president in over his head, resorting to threats of violence against a country he ostensibly is supposed to lead. The deliberate instigation of violence for his own photo op tells Americans how deeply twisted and deformed his character is."
