My mother, Ann Dunham, was the biggest influence on my life, and helped shape me into the person I am today.

I’m proud to share that the Water Garden at the Obama Presidential Center will be named in her honor. pic.twitter.com/p7oAnH66eo

After chasing him, the police officer says, "Show me your fkin hands."

Adam Toledo turns around w/ his hands up, and the officer shoots him.

After he shoots him, the officer says, "Look at me, look at me. You alright?"

Adam Toledo died. He was 13.

You cannot reform this. https://t.co/VtVfq1UQyI

The prosecutor did not “make an error.” He lied.

He lied about the police killing a child.

Ending this isn’t just about consequences for who pulls the trigger. It’s about admitting to and confronting an entire system that exists to protect, defend, and cover up state violence. https://t.co/pKkb8PMchR

The executive officer of internal affairs in the Norfolk Police Dept. donated $25 to Kyle Rittenhouse with a message:

“Every rank & file police officer supports you. Don’t be discouraged by actions of the political class of law enforcement leadership.” https://t.co/VVuiAfG3iX
