@JustinTWayne is now attempting to overrule the chair, reading off from Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure.

'The #PublicOrderBill..now been passed by Parliament in the UK, is deeply troubling legislation that is incompatible with the UK’s international human rights obligations regarding people’s rights to FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, PEACEFUL ASSEMBY and ASSOCIATION.. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
It is especially worrying that the law expands the powers of the police to stop & search individuals, including WITHOUT SUSPICION; defines some of the new criminal offences in a vague & overly broad manner; & imposes UNNECESSARY & DISPROPORTIONATE criminal sanctions on people...
organizing or taking part in peaceful protests,”
“When this Movement came to Mississippi, I still feel it is one of the greatest things that ever happened because only a person living in the State of Mississippi knows what it is like to suffer; knows what it is like to be hungry; knows what it is like to have no clothing to
wear. And these people in Mississippi state, they are not ‘down’, all they need is a chance. And I am determined to give my part not for what the Movement can do for me, but what I can do for the Movement to bring about a change in the state of Mississippi.”

IMPORTANT: In coming weeks, as #COVID19 numbers stay high (or rise) in many states, @realdonaldtrump may try to blame it on #BlackLivesMatter protests. As an ER doc, I can tell you it’s a stunt designed to evade accountability & should be refuted ASAP. Here are the facts: 1/8
We’re seeing a spike in cases of #COVID19 in AR, AZ, CA, MA, NC, NH, NV, OK, SC, TN, UT, and WA.And FL saw the most cases in 1 day this week. The cause? The rushed & reckless #reopeningofAmerica pushed by @realDonaldTrump while failing to implement a national testing program. 2/8
Reopening may help the president’s jobs numbers, and it’s certainly understandable Americans are growing impatient. But we need to do it responsibly, or cases will rise. And we must have a #TraceandTest program in place. Many docs & public health experts warned about this. 3/8
