Just before the Chauvin verdict was announced, the beat goes on --
Earlier today a Columbus Ohio cop killed 15-year-old Ma'Khia Wright.

The Columbus PD is one of the most racist and brutal in the country. Since 2013, they have killed more children than any other police department in the country, except the Chicago PD. https://t.co/O1wwg1jzm7
The institutional, cultural, and legal factors that led Chauvin to believe he could get away with kneeling on Floyd’s neck for nine minutes remain unchanged, and as long as that is the case, such deaths will continue to be a regular part of American life. https://t.co/1kGZGS34TQ

Bills like Georgia’s SB 202 are a full-fledged assaults on voting rights—unlike anything we have witnessed in scope since Jim Crow.

Jim Crow is back, just in new clothes. We must recognize this moment for what it is & fight back to defend the foundation of our democracy. pic.twitter.com/2XjxAnf6N8
And they don't want "them" to protest, either --
NEW: Republicans in 34 states have introduced legislation to crack down on protestors. They'd bar people from student loans & state aid, boost penalties for unlawful assembly and immunize drivers who strike protesters in the streets.
