Hate doesn’t grow in darkness or in a vacuum. It’s given life when well meaning human beings give it space. When family members, friends and colleagues choose to look the other way. When the institutions within a community, state and country choose to dismiss, overlook or (1/4)
weaponize it, but it knows no boundaries nor does it respect any boundaries. It sole goal is to take over wherever it’s given comfort. We don’t have to be participants, but we do become accomplices in its neighborhoods. If it’s allowed to fester, it can infect everything (2/4)
including families, homes, neighborhoods, counties, states and countries. It cannot be controlled magically, but it must expose wherever it’s found. It must be confronted so that it retreats, because it’s a coward. Each of us can stop this scourge. We must all choose do it (3/4)
together. We can do it, because, that we like it or not, our lives, families, neighborhoods, communities, states, countries and planet depend on it. Each of us must choose to join this fight this deadly disease or it’ll consume us and everything that we care about. #OneLove (4/4)

Thread.... I need to drive to our four-year old granddaughter to daycare today. To ensure we arrive alive, we won't take public transit (Oscar Grant). I removed all air fresheners from the vehicle and double-checked my registration status (Daunte Wright), and ensured my
license plates were visible (Lt. Caron Nazario). I will be careful to follow all traffic rules (Philando Castille), signal every turn (Sandra Bland), keep the radio volume low (Jordan Davis), and won't stop at a fast food chain for a meal (Rayshard Brooks). I'm too afraid to
pray (Rev. Clementa C. Pickney) so I just hope the car won't break down (Corey Jones).
When my wife picks her up at the end of the day, I'll remind her not to dance (Elijah McClain), stop to play in a park (Tamir Rice), patronize the local convenience store for snacks

In 2008, the US economy crashed due to GOP's toxic agenda and policies. The corrupt GOP refused to life a finger to help President Obama and the Democrats to pull our economy out of the ditch. As the economy took longer to recover, they parlayed the teabaggers

errr Koch suckers vitriol into midterm election that gave the GOP the majority in the US House. Fast forward four years, and their President reviving their catastrophically failed governance that has killed over 300,000 Americans, infected over 15 million Americans, and the

resulting economic carnage that Americans are facing, they're back doing the same exact thing. Anyone who expects the corrupt GOP to help President Biden and the Democrats in aiding economically distressed Americans hasn't been paying attention to these anti-government
