So Trump stirs racism, says ppl need guns to protect themselves from mobs, & a supporter in Kenosha shoots three white men.

Black & white ppl protest police killing unarmed Black men while Trump’s supporters kill other white ppl.
America, WAKE UP! RACISM=DEATH. It will take us all down. Voting this year is first & foremost about making a psychic break for Trump, McConnell & Republican racism & regressivism.
We’re not mobilizing so we can go home & sit down next year, but so that we can then push the next administration to fully address these issues comprehensively, once & for all.

What Trump did at the WH was the worst example of racist revisionist history since Woodrow Wilson played Birth Of A Nation at the WH. It may be worse b/c of the reach of media today & b/c he was able to get some Af-Am men & women to be props for his extreme policies & lies.
And to tell that story on property built by enslaved hands, on land stolen from indigenous people, & in a country that once denied poor women & men the right to vote—my God!
To declare that anyone who criticizes America’s past is not worthy of leading it into its future, at a moment when millions of people are challenging white supremacy, & then throw your name up in the sky over a city built by a free issue Black man who fought for freedom ...

Sen. @TimScottSC, your plan for police reform was a token plan. You stand against voting rights, living wages, & health care. Do you think that was the dream of our mothers?
You won b/c a Black man who carries the agenda of the southern strategy is actually more potent than the white son of Strom Thurmond. The GOP is using you to claim it’s not racist.
Why would you lie so much for them? Trump did not build the best economy ever. He inherited job growth. What he has done in no way compares to Obama.

Gov. @JohnKasich, my grandfather was a Lincoln Republican. I’ve known & loved Republicans my whole life. But you signed voter suppression bills, cut taxes for the greedy & undermined social safety nets for poor & low-income white, Black & brown people.
One great thing to do tonight would be to repent of the policies you have supported that are also supported by Trump & pledge to support Biden/Harris as a sign of change.
