. @CAgovernor tell the CA Judicial Council NOT to rescind the $0 bail order -- #COVID19 is still spreading in jails & people are dying! Rescinding the order & keeping community in cages will mean more spread of virus & death! Do the right thing! #CareNotCages #FreeThemAll – at Los Angeles, CA

LA buddies: please take a second to email your County Supervisor and ask them to rescind their endorsement of Jackie Lacey for DA. She refused to prosecute a single cop in any of the 601 killings by LA police during her 8 years in office. Info here: evnt.events/e2a430

If you live in LA more than HALF of the city’s budget is being allocated to policing. Tell your city councilmember you want more money for parks, sidewalks, trees, schools, housing. peoplesbudgetla.com/actions #PeoplesBudgetLA #CareNotCops #DefundThePolice

Instead of focusing on the few instances of protestors throwing empty water bottles at LAPD and property crimes, media should report on how cops shot peaceful protestors, including young people, with rubber bullets and beat folks to the point of hospitalization. #BlackLivesMatter

I gotta be honest the worst looting I've ever seen take place happened a few weeks ago when corporations collected over 500 billion dollars in stimulus money while everyone else was left with a $1200 dollar check and having to decide if they pay for food or rent..

We need a national database of decertified police officers. No more dangerous cops getting a new job two towns away.

As the media and politicians try to exploit the uprisings to justify more policing, we need to encourage the less engaged public to imagine what safety really means. These excellent posters are by Luna Syenite and originally posted on Metro Atlanta DSA's page. #CareNotCops

Passive voice is for when the state does violence. Active voice is for when a protester does? Got it.
Minneapolis: A photographer was shot in the eye. Washington, D.C.: Protesters struck a journalist with his own microphone. Louisville: A reporter was hit by a pepper ball on live television by an officer who appeared to be aiming at her. nyti.ms/2ZYDFtv

They couldn't even stop doing police brutality at the police brutality protest.
