@IndvSanJoseAdmn Thanks for your leadership. I am pushing the Peace Act to change the standard of force. We need a comprehensive approach to pass the House. Appreciate your advocacy. — PolitiTweet.org

.@davidianrobin on my team went to a peaceful march in NY last night. He was tackled by police & kept in tight zipties for 6.5 hours along with hundreds. He's okay but in pain. Please talk to protesters before opining. It will open your eyes to the need for major police reform. — PolitiTweet.org

While Amazon sends PR pieces to news stations about the great job they are doing to keep people safe, over 1000 workers have tested positive for COVID-19 and 8 have died. Jeff Bezos has made more than $34B in the past two months. Protect your workers. https://t.co/GO8eHJjsvZ — PolitiTweet.org

Even Trump's own defense secretary has condemned his threat to use military force against protesters. This isn't a war. Our cities are not warzones. The only justified response is concrete police reform — not crackdowns on the First Amendment. https://t.co/kDw1lehSmO — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump, VP Pence, and Kayleigh McEnany have all voted-by-mail. If it’s secure enough for them, it’s secure enough for every American. Let’s get it done for November. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The pandemic has proven once and for all that access to the internet is a basic human need. Finland, Estonia, Spain, Greece, and Costa Rica have already made access to affordable internet a human right. America should be next. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This is a positive development for justice, but a step. People aren't just protesting in all 50 states for #GeorgeFloyd—they're protesting for reform. They're protesting so that there are no more George Floyds or Breonna Taylors. Congress must take the next steps for justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

While many people have the luxury of working from home, millions are in essential jobs where they have to risk their lives to earn a living. Many don't have PPE, health care, paid sick leave, or living wages. @ewarren and I wrote the Essential Workers Bill of Rights for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Congratulations @TeresaForNM on the huge victory last night! I was proud to endorse her and look forward to working with her to build a new progressive era in Congress that is equitable, sustainable, innovative and leaves no communities behind. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Derek Chauvin had 17 complaints over the course of his career, shot at someone, and was involved in another fatal shooting before killing George Floyd. If the PEACE Act was in place, Floyd and so many others would be alive today. Let's get it done. https://t.co/I1lvJLJqv3 — PolitiTweet.org

I never thought I’d live to see the day when troops would be guarding the Lincoln memorial. https://t.co/UCNaMwOgXC — PolitiTweet.org

RT @WalkerBragman: Khanna is also leading an effort with Tim Ryan to get monthly $2000 relief checks for all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Police can legally use lethal force if their conduct is considered "reasonable" in the heat of the moment. This open definition makes it very hard to hold cops accountable. The PEACE Act will change this by establishing a national use-of-force standard. https://t.co/TEzTKdVk4L — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

RT @WalkerBragman: Congressman @RoKhanna tells me he is calling on the House to reconvene and to take up police reform immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Still wondering why Black people across the country are marching for justice? Take one look at this graphic. Too many lives have been taken by police violence with almost no accountability. I urge every member of Congress to support the PEACE Act. https://t.co/y5N2IbT6j4 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Too many Black lives have been lost to police violence. Despite years of protests, the injustice continues. People are calling for action. Congress must deliver. The PEACE Act I've introduced with @LacyClayMO1 will be a bold step toward finally holding police accountable. https://t.co/plf1y3DYPJ — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Section 333 gave the President the power to use the military, even absent a state request, to advance justice for black people and stand up for 14th Amendnent rights. It is Orwellian for Trump to use this Reconstruction provision to have our military target black protestors. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Trump calls himself an ally to the protestors but instead of listening to them, he's calling for military force to be used on them. What kind of ally is that? What kind of leader is that? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Black people have been invisible for too long in America. They are fighting for their lives. We need to prove the cynics wrong and pass a new standard that makes force a last resort. https://t.co/cwyMwEnD4h — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

As #PrideMonth begins, Black people across the country are marching for justice. We must remember Marsha P. Johnson — a transgender activist and one of the main figures of the Stonewall riots. She spent her entire life fighting for LGBTQ+ rights and liberation. #PRIDE2020 https://t.co/lnBJ05jVDM — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

In the spirit of seeking common ground, @mattgaetz would you support police reform legislation, such as making force a last resort? How do we find ways to talk to each other & not past each other on issues of race, immigration, protests, and a common American purpose? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The president just called out the American military against American citizens. But when his supporters rushed statehouses to terrify lawmakers with assault rifles, Trump called them "very good people" and tweeted out his support. Trump's double standards are ridiculous. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The wrong response to protests against police brutality and violence is more police brutality and violence. We need to listen to Black communities and everyone joining them in protests for justice. Force must be a last resort. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I'm proud to endorse @TeresaForNM. She has always been a champion for voting rights, the environment, economic development & accessible health care. I look forward to partnering with her in Congress to build an equitable and sustainable future that leaves no communities behind. — PolitiTweet.org
