The United States, Australia, and the U.K. are all industrialized G7 nations. But Americans die in police custody at more than twice the rate of Australians and 6 TIMES the rate of people in the U.K. Congress must move quickly on passing the Justice in Policing Act. https://t.co/t3pNHDO2Y5 — PolitiTweet.org

It's been 93 days since #BreonnaTaylor was killed in her home during a no-knock raid. No police officers involved have been held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

In a public health crisis, we should make sure that everyone has healthcare. Instead, the Trump administration is rolling back ACA protections that will make it easier for doctors to discriminate against transgender Americans. This must be challenged. https://t.co/H2aPfDVSfo — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

No knock raids have been banned in Louisville. This is huge and would have saved #BreonnaTaylor's life. We must save more lives by banning no-knock raids nationwide. https://t.co/vTBjdUFOBK — PolitiTweet.org

If communities can afford tear gas, flashbangs and riot police, then they can afford to invest in our teachers and public schools. https://t.co/lzfWjug3mf — PolitiTweet.org

California has already announced major reforms including banning the chokehold and implementing new use-of-force standards. These actions and more need to happen nationwide. Let's pass bold police reform in Congress and send it to Trump's desk. https://t.co/HkoBqN9ebt — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans say we don't need more relief because of the new unemployment numbers. But here’s who’s left out of those numbers: ❌ Anyone whose hours have been cut ❌ People who have stopped looking for work Include them and the number becomes 21%. That seems like urgency to me. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Senate Republicans: we’re officially in a recession. Millions are still out of work. Millions still can’t pay for bills or basic necessities. Is that enough urgency for relief yet? https://t.co/iD5Zc2d5zW — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We have a cultural problem with the use of excessive force in America. Instead of investing in ❌ Riot gear ❌ Tear gas ❌ Rubber bullets We need to start investing in ✅ Mental health counselors ✅ Substance abuse treatment ✅ Crisis intervention specialists — PolitiTweet.org

When a police officer violates someone's constitutional rights, they should be held accountable in civil court. But for too long, officers who commit misconduct have been shielded from accountability. The time is long overdue to end qualified immunity in the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

When a police officer breaks the law, they should be held accountable. This shouldn't be controversial. — PolitiTweet.org

This May was the hottest on record worldwide. Even worse, global temperatures were 1.26 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial levels. We need to keep them from rising above 1.5. Don't lose sight of the urgency of the climate crisis. https://t.co/eenbSaIQAL — PolitiTweet.org

This economic crisis isn't over. Any member of Congress who thinks we can continue stalling on stimulus relief needs to read these stories. https://t.co/m3TXEXfohm — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Last week’s job numbers don’t tell the whole story. If we include people who’ve given up looking for work and people with reduced hours, the unemployment numbers rise to 21%. Some may celebrate these numbers, but millions of people are struggling. They need relief. https://t.co/G6ghqgHoOo — PolitiTweet.org

It's time to atone for the sin of the Tulsa Massacre. https://t.co/AZCFSKHAm1 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Next Friday, Trump is holding a rally in Tulsa, where hundreds of Black people were massacred by a white mob, on Juneteenth, a holiday to celebrate the end of slavery. It's more than a racist dog whistle. How low can Trump go? — PolitiTweet.org

Big Pharma claims that they have a right to price-gouge during a pandemic. Let's get one thing straight: COVID-19 treatments and potential vaccines are funded by over $1 billion in publicly-funded research. They must be free at the point of service. https://t.co/t9CNhyRTYV — PolitiTweet.org

Saying #BlackLivesMatter isn't enough. The Justice in Policing Act will ✅ Ban chokeholds ✅ End qualified immunity ✅ De-militarize the police ✅ Make lethal force a last resort Any member of Congress who doesn't support these basic measures deserves to lose their seat. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Three recordings of police encounters with unarmed Black men. Three Black men all saying they couldn't breathe. Three Black lives lost at the hands of police. This injustice must end. Stay in the streets. https://t.co/MHX091dVTL — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The incident report filled out by Louisville police after #BreonnaTaylor's killing is virtually BLANK. They used a battering ram to enter the apartment and shot her at least eight times. Arrest the officers NOW. https://t.co/9cfdY8wAiq — PolitiTweet.org

America's largest hospital chains received $15 billion in stimulus funds. Many of them still laid off thousands of employees or reduced hours while continuing to pay their CEOs huge salaries. Our next stimulus must #PutPeopleFirst. https://t.co/aB5L3xeoEJ — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Despite the local reforms made after the massive #BlackLivesMatter protests in 2015, police still kill almost 1,000 people every year. It's clear that we need a national use-of-force standard. Lethal force should always be an absolute last resort. https://t.co/Tx8Ig7tuu3 — PolitiTweet.org

If we can invest trillions in our military and billions in our police, then we can afford to invest heavily in health care, education, housing, and climate action. It's a matter of priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

All those who think that the huge number of police shootings is due to population size need to check out this chart. Police in America kill more than THREE TIMES as many people per capita as in Canada. No other nation is even close. https://t.co/xVgTq6rBaI — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.@LacyClayMO and I introduced the PEACE Act in 2019 to make lethal force by police a last resort. We had only 24 total co-sponsors. Now it's included in the major police reform package being introduced in the House. The tide is turning on comprehensive police reform in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

After George Floyd died, Minneapolis police said that he physically resisted and was in medical distress. Then the video came out showing the truth. For all the instances we've seen of police using brutal force, there are many more that aren't filmed. We need justice for all. — PolitiTweet.org
