Wouldn’t it be interesting if today’s crowd is larger than Trump’s inauguration crowd, the one he lied about ???? pic.twitter.com/p49uEN5hi1

Today There are more protesters in the streets of Philadelphia alone for Black Lives Matter than all of Trump’s "Liberate" states protests combined. Remember there are FAR, FAR more of us then them. All we need to do is vote in November to usher out trump and in change. https://t.co/dHslMss4Pf

There are difficult trade-offs in protesting racial injustice versus staying at home amid a pandemic, & we can discuss that with good faith arguments.
But if you were calling to “liberate” America amid social distancing so that you could get a fucking hair cut, sit this one out.

Barr's announcement that the DOJ will be targeting so-called domestic terrorist groups as part of the protests against the killing of George Floyd is deeply concerning. We're investigating. https://t.co/Oa5KqPJFaq

“An FBI document … indicates that the bureau had ,no intelligence indicating Antifa involvement/presence’ at the protests in Washington … The bureau did, however, identify calls, possibly online, for ‘far-right provocateurs’ to attack federal agents.” https://t.co/gKGZik4r7L

This basically invites right wing militias to take up position in American cities. With no identification there is nothing to distinguish between real and fake law enforcement. https://t.co/2sKEsdwyAg

“The reason the bottom hasn’t fallen out is because at every turn Trump has done exactly what 40 percent of the country wants him to do. His problem is there is about 55 percent of the country that really disagrees with him.” https://t.co/qWtuNgnIuy

police charged at protestors in London today with a police horse, and the officer hit a lamppost and fell off. The horse went on to hit a pedestrian as it broke loose 🤦♂️ https://t.co/AHA3Iqk222

This is what 99% of the black lives matter protests for George Floyd in London today looked like. All you see on the media is the bad 1% of people who don’t represent the views of the BLM movement who are throwing things at horses, causing anarchy etc #BLM #London #Protests pic.twitter.com/HaHdo0PrOV

“We’re not having the kind of open & honest debates we need. We seem to be resorting to cheap political rhetoric about stuff being world class, when it clearly isn’t.”
NHS chiefs have had enough of @BorisJohnson’s empty spin.
