People across this country are demanding bold action. Here are concrete steps that the House must take immediately. https://t.co/ILnMV4rtfV — PolitiTweet.org

The only reason to oppose national vote-by-mail is if you truly believe that people shouldn't be able to vote safely in a pandemic. Elected officials should want everyone to vote. But if you think you need voter suppression to keep your job? Maybe it's time to find a new career. https://t.co/TRyMGYq7mD — PolitiTweet.org

The National Guard will only bring the negative peace talked about by Dr. King. We need immediate action to bring positive peace: ✅ Arrest all four officers ✅ Investigate the police department ✅ Pass the PEACE Act so that police can only use violence as a last resort. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Here's a reminder that 47 countries are part of the European Convention on Human Rights which demands that police officers are only allowed to use deadly force when it’s absolutely necessary. The PEACE Act will finally add the U.S. to this list. @LacyClayMO1 https://t.co/H3p8GrOmY8 — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell says that we can wait a few weeks for another stimulus package. Can your rent and bill payments wait a few weeks? Can you continue risking your lives for a few weeks in an essential job without PPE? Can you wait a few weeks to feed your family? — PolitiTweet.org

As we see Black people marching peacefully for justice, let's remember that the greatest practitioners of non-violence, forgiveness & peace in America have been Black. The tradition of nonviolence & reconciliation comes not from our founding, but from Dr. King & Black churches. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats need to pass legislation giving greater independence to the CDC and NIH so public servants like Dr. Fauci can't be fired over policy disagreements by presidents like Trump. American lives depend on our public health agencies not being politicized. — PolitiTweet.org

Black Americans are more than twice as likely as white Americans to be killed by the police. In many of these cases, the officers are either not convicted or not even charged. Some even keep their jobs! https://t.co/53NEU8AogC — PolitiTweet.org

“Momma...Momma...I am through.” I keep thinking of that moment and it’s complete vulnerability and truth in a way that pierces through all the tweets and cable news. https://t.co/sFJD9wJmgN — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

There were almost a thousand American lives lost due to police violence in 2018. I am as sick and tired of watching the inaction as you are. The PEACE Act that I introduced with @LacyClayMO1 will make sure that officers who needlessly use lethal force are held accountable. https://t.co/m9SSD70HUc — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

If you are still perplexed as to why Black people feel like the targets of police violence, look at this graphic. Too many lives have been lost. With the PEACE Act, if an officer uses lethal force other than as a last resort, they will be held fully accountable. https://t.co/QOu3T3cIz4 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Countries where police can only use deadly force as a last resort: ✅ Belgium ✅ Denmark ✅ France ✅ Germany ✅ Greece ✅ Iceland ✅ Netherlands ✅ Portugal ✅ Spain ✅ Sweden ✅ Switzerland ✅ U.K. ❌ United States This is why @LacyClayMO1 and I introduced the PEACE Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

If we want peace, we need to take concrete action toward racial justice and police accountability in America. https://t.co/fSoxenAivc — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Rate of people killed by police — by race: 🔹 Black: 30 per million 🔹 Hispanic: 20 per million 🔹 White: 12 per million How many communities have to mourn before there's finally justice? The fight for police accountability is the fight for racial justice in America. — PolitiTweet.org

People in many states are earning the same minimum wage they earned in 2009. Unfortunately we can't say the same about the rising cost of living. Change can't wait any longer. I will keep fighting until every American earns AT LEAST $15/hour. #FightFor15 https://t.co/QNqtRXF7Ir — PolitiTweet.org

People in Minneapolis are in pain. They are sick of seeing the police murder members of their community only to be told that there's not enough evidence to convict. As MLK said five decades ago: A riot is the language of the unheard. It's well past time that we listen. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has already destroyed America's global leadership and reputation. Now he's announced he's pulling the U.S. out of the WHO in the middle of a pandemic, all because he needs a scapegoat for his own failed COVID-19 response. As usual, it's Trump first and America last. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

There won't be peace without concrete action. Black people in Minneapolis and around the country have mourned too many loved ones and seen too little justice. Arrest the officers. Investigate Minneapolis PD. And let's make it law that force is a last resort only and always. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

For our democracy to change, we must face what it means to run for office as a Black woman. At a virtual town hall this week, white supremacists told RI senate candidate @JenRourke29 to “get lynched.” Please share her message. We need to hear it, especially today. #IStandWithJen — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Chauvin has been arrested for kneeling on #GeorgeFloyd's neck until he died. It's about time. Now it's time to arrest the other three cops who helped Chauvin and did nothing as Floyd took his last breaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Whether we look at New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, or the 1967 riots in Detroit, there's a long, uneasy history of police killing black people they believe are "looting." Trump's tweet invokes that ugly history. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

That Donald Trump was unwilling to call the racists in Charlottesville "thugs" but is calling Black protesters standing up for racial justice "thugs" tells you everything you need to know about the man and his presidency. — PolitiTweet.org
