Tonight we heard the President of the United States threaten to use our nation’s military force against its own citizens. The speech Donald Trump just delivered was dangerous, divisive, and filled with hate and racist undertones. (1/4)

He never said the names of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, or Breonna Taylor. He never offered his condolences to their families. He never called for an end to state-sanctioned violence against Black and Brown bodies. (2/4)
At a time when our nation needs leadership to address police brutality & institutional racism that has wreaked havoc on the lives of Black Americans for generations, he instead chose to incite law enforcement to use the same force that we are protesting in the first place. (3/4)
This president wants nothing more than to divide us. These peaceful protests must continue. Black lives do matter. We cannot let the President win. (4/4)
