Good. The idea that you would slow down testing because you don’t want to find out that people are sick is just grotesque. — PolitiTweet.org

Yet again, President Trump is using this pandemic as a cover for his heartless, anti-immigrant agenda—at the expense of our economy. https://t.co/8IyiZkEFgK — PolitiTweet.org

As we near the anniversary of the death of Vincent Chin, murdered by anti-Asian bigots, all need to condemn President Trump’s racist language about COVID-19. Words of hate by bullies with loud microphones incite violence. https://t.co/n9zY1xdjea — PolitiTweet.org

On #Juneteenth, we celebrate a milestone in the march toward our North Star of equality, but we also recognize how far we still have to go in creating true freedom and an equitable nation. Opening the doors of opportunity to all Americans will make us stronger—let's do the work. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The President’s attempt to end the DACA program plunged hundreds of thousands of innocent young people into limbo and wreaked havoc on their lives. I’m so thankful the Court has rejected it. Today, I celebrate with Dreamers! Tomorrow, let's make this protection permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

No one should be fired because of who they are or whom they love. I am so relieved the Supreme Court recognized that basic truth today and grateful for the brave men and women who brought forth these cases. — PolitiTweet.org

We may not be celebrating #PrideMonth with big crowds like this great one from 2018—but you can bet we’re celebrating with strong reaffirmations of our commitment to love and advocate for our LGBTQ neighbors. https://t.co/RKG5FrvdnK — PolitiTweet.org

Military force should never be used against peaceful protestors. Senate Armed Services Committee just agreed in a strong bipartisan vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Racism and discrimination in this country is not an accident. We didn't just inherit it or have it foisted upon us. Our founders and our government carefully created it and have enforced it for generations. It's on us to just as intentionally dismantle it—and the time is now. — PolitiTweet.org

Finally: this work goes far beyond the space of a Tweet—like many others, I’m listening to people about where we are, where we need to go, and how to get there. I’m grateful to those around me for sharing. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Here’s where I’m starting: -Co-sponsor bills to reform policing and examine reparations -Introduce bills to improve workforce training and support workplace organizing -Support federal HBCU funding -Address racial disparities in maternal health and education — PolitiTweet.org

All Americans will benefit if this country gets serious about truly dismantling the painful architecture of discrimination against African Americans that began on Virginia soil more than 400 years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

To truly battle these injustices, I know I need to do more—not just supporting bills that don’t ultimately pass, but demanding Congress pass comprehensive legislation to address inequalities across criminal justice, economic justice, education, health care, and beyond. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Government policy—enforced by our courts—has formed the architecture of inequality in this country. And government has never been made accountable for longstanding racist practices or been forced to uproot the systems it so carefully built over generations. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The Marines have taken the first step on this. So glad to see Army and DOD stepping up as well. https://t.co/f8AtDxF0TF — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Pompeo is afraid to come before the Committee — and Senate Republicans are afraid of what he might say if he did. https://t.co/xjRJ2asXKZ — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Far too many Black Americans have been victims of police brutality. Congress can no longer be bystanders. This legislation will improve police training, transparency, and practices to help address systemic racism. We must make clear that police misconduct has no place in America. — PolitiTweet.org

“Toddleroo.” Designed to keep the toddler inside. What does this remind me of... https://t.co/dPlHnphiXz — PolitiTweet.org

Breonna should have had a long, bright life ahead pursuing her dreams and serving the community she loved. Say her name today, and don't stop saying it. #JusticeforBreonnaTaylor — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

It’s time. These statues are not just reminders of a painful past, but symbols of a painful present and even harbingers of a difficult future. The Governor’s action answers a question: Why glorify those who fought to keep people in bondage because of the color of their skin? — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Bayonets? Unleashing the US military against peaceful protesters is WRONG, and the President must be stopped. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

I never thought we would have to use the National Defense Authorization Act to make clear that the US military shouldn’t be used as an agent of force against American citizens. But this is Trump’s America—and we need to put guardrails in place, now. https://t.co/HhqByXazX5 — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The American military must never again be used as the President’s personal palace guard against peaceful protesters. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Next week the Armed Services Committee will debate the NDAA—which determines how the DoD can spend its money. I will introduce an amendment to prevent any DoD funding from being used for force against American citizens exercising their first amendment rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Division, Disease, Depression, Death—now Domination. America needs Competence, Compassion, Character. https://t.co/P1rUuPLymg — PolitiTweet.org

You can’t go for a run without the risk of being killed. You can’t sleep in your bed—hoping to get enough rest to work your shift at a hospital—without that risk either. This is trauma that African Americans are living every day, and we can't change the subject or look away. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

African Americans have heard equality preached as our national virtue while living under 400 years of slavery, discrimination, and injustice. The murder of George Floyd and the disproportionate deaths to COVID are just the latest evidence. America must listen, atone, and act. — PolitiTweet.org
