- Replying to @DapperDomoAngel Reese’s unapologetic requirement that her standards were met give us all hope for the next generation.
- Replying to @Phil_Lewis_Low level traffic stops should be banned.
- Replying to @mrddmiaYet, studies have shown that white individuals commit around 58% of total violent crimes in the U.S. Focusing on education & job opportunities reduces crime by 43%. Stereotypes hinder progress.
- Replying to @TMZUsing armed officers to check on Britney Spears for dancing on Instagram is a waste of police time and resources. #CommonSense
- Thinking about the Tory Lanez case & how Over 4.5 million women in the United States today report having been threatened with a gun by an intimate partner.
- Replying to @Phil_Lewis_Sandra Bland would be alive in Illinois today, her home state.
- Gerrymandering and criminal justice may seem unrelated at first glance, but there is this thing called “disenfranchisement” that you folks may have heard of that leads directly to marginalized communities being negatively impacted by the criminal Justice system.SCOTUS rightly rejected the utterly groundless “independent state legislature” theory that would’ve upended democracy and the rule of law. Only Thomas and Gorsuch went with the theory. Alito would’ve treated the case as moot. It’s to exhale now! supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf…

Let's talk about what REALLY drives violence - poverty, trauma, access to guns. It's time to stop scapegoating and address the ROOTS. #JusticeWithNuance #EquityOverPunishment
- Replying to @shannonrwattsHere’s the thing. Everybody knows how to fix gun violence. It’s actually not that complex or hard. In fact there are multiple, proven routes, you could take to solve a very solvable issue and ensure that this never happens again. Unfortunately the NRA prevents changes.

- Replying to @POTUS46Archive and @POTUSHow ironic is it to block a solution to a problem that you caused?
- Replying to @cjresearchtsuOne study found that 76 percent of intimate partner homicides and 85 percent of attempted homicides of women were preceded by at least one incident of stalking in the year before the attack.
