OPD is currently pepper spraying peaceful protestors. Don’t fall for this.
Now: @SheriffMina and @OrlandoPDChief #TakeAKnee in solidarity with demonstrators. We share the grief in the killing of #GeorgeFloyd. We need to use these opportunities to come together & talk about these issues.

nothing to see a here, just a sitting member of congress suggesting that american citizens be hunted down and murdered/jailed indefinitely without a trial, based on their alleged membership within a porous group that can conveniently encompass anyone who protests the state.
I gotta be honest, I really did not see “actually, Jesus sucks” becoming a part of the right wing anti-protest narrative but alas
It’s so surreal to hear a republican express empathy. Or to hear a president speak in coherent sentences.

That’s 👏🏻 my 👏🏻 state 👏🏻 rep 👏🏻
Video should absolutely be released and by the way, elected officials should not "take a knee" when they still plan to use tear gas later. It's disingenuous, and further flames distrust between police and people.

The worst part of that tom cotton tweet is that he’s up for re-election this year, and this - appealing to his constituents’ most base and sadistic impulses for mass murder and bloodshed - is what he considers to be a good political messaging. We are done for.
But seriously. If threatening mass murder isn’t against twitter’s terms of service I don’t know what is. Please join me in reporting this tweet.

Interesting strategy by the governor here. Every major city in the state has erupted in protest and he decides to... make a bunch of people homeless. Let’s see how it plays out!
Floridians are about to face eviction if @GovRonDeSantis doesn't extend the moratorium. As of Friday, our Circuit Chief Judge told me we have 263 Orange County evictions & 83 Osceola County evictions about to move forward when the moratorium is lifted-- many more will come.
Here we have a US senator threatening to call in Blackhawks on US citizens.
Meanwhile, where we usually send the Blackhawks... teapawt.net/azelin/status/12674580…
This is really beyond parody.
