I will never apologize for helping America’s middle class – especially not to the same folks who voted for a $2 trillion tax cut for the wealthy and giant corporations that racked up the deficit.

I don't usually live tweet Akron City Council meetings, but I'm going to do so in this thread tonight.
It is the first meeting since Jayland Walker was killed by Akron police. Protesters plan to flood public comment session. More below:

I keep coming back to this video. @Akron_Police is this blue light always lit at HQ? If not, why now? Why last night? Protestors were visibly upset seeing it and tensions escalated after coming to HQ, were you hoping to get a reaction?
A “Thin Blue Line” of light shining through one of the floors of #Akron Police HQ. @beaconjournal

Let me just say that Councilwoman Stephanie Howse went OFF in this part. I mean that in the BEST possible way. Towards the end, she has a powerful message for women. 🙌

No top shelf anything
