The American people have the constitutionally protected right to protest. Congress can’t keep allowing the president to threaten our democracy by unleashing military power on protesters. We must check his power. — PolitiTweet.org

For far too long, we’ve gotten used to justice not only being delayed but denied. Now we're seeing a movement that has the potential to chip away at our racist institutions and reshape our whole system — not just in Minneapolis, but everywhere. https://t.co/WsuOVUlP9y — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

In 2016 when I ran against a 44yr incumbent, people told me saying #BlackLivesMattters was wrong messaging and I would lose. Today, not only did I win that race but everyone is falling over themselves to say #BlackLivesMattters. We speak to our values, not their messaging. — PolitiTweet.org

These are not new ideas—many of us have been fighting for this for decades. The cries for justice for too long have fallen on deaf ears. This is a longterm project, but one that is long overdue in our communities. ✊🏽 — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

A new system will allow officers to address the most dangerous situations and serious crimes that our residents face, while ending the criminalization of poverty and disproportionate violence against black and brown communities. The goal at every stage must be the safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

In Minneapolis, the police department doesn’t perform the most fundamental role we expect — solving serious crimes and caring for victims. The MPD leaves ½ of all homicides unsolved. They have literally destroyed hundreds of rape kits. https://t.co/YM18aZoeAu — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Most problems arising from substance use, mental health diagnoses, and poverty require medical professionals and social workers — not criminal enforcement or armed officers. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

.@SenKamalaHarris gets it right here: In Minneapolis, we spend $193 million on police. 11 times what we spend on health. And 482 times what we spend on crime prevention. Reimagining the role of police means building a system that prioritizes community investment. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

The "defund the police" movement, is one of reimagining the current police system to build an entity that does not violate us, while relocating funds to invest in community services. Let’s be clear, the people who now oppose this, have always opposed calls for systematic change. — PolitiTweet.org
