speaking 'the language of the unheard'

Many people say there are more people on the DC streets today than there were on #BunkerBoyTrump’s Inauguration Day. Be safe everyone: #WearAMask; hydrate and don’t take the bait. https://t.co/IjZwOQtKyU

No badge, no authority! That’s a principle deeply engrained in international as well as domestic law. It’s at the root of the Geneva Conventions’ reduced protection for ununiformed and thus unlawful combatants. Yet Trump and Barr use unidentifiable secret police to control DC.

How does one know an unmarked officer is not just some rightwing vigilante with a gun? How do you hold police accountable if they have no ID? They are creating a situation in which citizens are expected to surrender to any Under Armour-wearing muscle head with gloves and helmet. https://t.co/ogHuuRlQa7

Get a load of the lack of facemasks at this rally in support of the 2 Buffalo Police officers who almost killed a 75 year old man.

Less than 1/10 have a mask. pic.twitter.com/jwsVkPqBKj

As we toured the Virginia House of Burgesses, colonial seat of government, the guest asked us why the wall around it was so low. How did they protect the government from the people? /2 pic.twitter.com/u6ZZkwWV0S

I get that in public one has no expectation of privacy but this is tapping into personal PRIVATE info for the purpose of surveillance without a warrant.

A FISH FINDER.

PIG wet dream.

America is at the biggest turning point in its history since 1860. The outcome is uncertain. I'm worried. This week has been hard. But some of the things that happened this week have also been cause for hope. And hope is good.

I note that @WhiteHouse Senior Advisor @ivankatrump blocked me because my statements gave her discomfort and uncertainty. Can you ask her to unblock me as part of her personal growth? Thanks. https://t.co/XHEa8FzpXS

The May jobs report had “misclassification error” that made the unemployment rate look lower than it is. Here’s what happened. https://t.co/oFrdlw99el

I have no idea who did this, but if you know, find them and tag them. One of the best things I’ve seen on this app this week
