🚨PEOPLE: It is really happening. The Minneapolis City Council *just* announced their intent to disband the Police Department & replace it w/ a new community-led system that truly prioritizes the safety & health of community. Transformation. Not “reform.”https://t.co/N7VuzfemA0

If cops are shooting rubber bullets at white journalists while cameras are rolling, imagine what they’re doing to black folks when nobody is looking. https://t.co/nTY6y5CJgE

Trump's demonization of the press – and his vast support among violent cops – is now resulting in members of his base enjoying their wet dream of torturing, abusing, and shooting reporters. Just like in any othe third world dictatorship. https://t.co/pCrvey7Jve
