Despite George Floyd being killed with a cop's knee on his neck for 9 minutes 2 years ago, the killing of unarmed young Blacks & Latinos in particular continues. The US Senate failed to support police reform. We will continue to fight for justice & the elimination of racist cops. — PolitiTweet.org

When will this country come together to denounce and deter the killing of innocent children and adults by heavily armed killers in a society where guns are so easily accessible? Another recent mass killing of 14 children in Uvalde, Texas, by an 18-year-old! Gun Control now! — PolitiTweet.org

This is Asian and Pacific Islander Month. I join with the AAPI Community in celebrating their accomplishments! I also join with the AAPI Community in confronting the racism and injustice that is being perpetrated against the AAPI Community. Racism and hatred are wrong, periodt! — PolitiTweet.org

The Justice Department has a responsibility to identify and track down white supremacists and domestic terrorists who have taken certain identifiable criminal acts that define them. The FBI must make arrests and follow through with appropriate convictions. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
When the justice system acts promptly to apprehend and convict white supremacists who prey upon Black, Asian and other minorities, perhaps this can be a deterrent to the killing of innocent people. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
White supremacists are lurking in this country, and Black people, particularly those highly visible, are vulnerable. The right-wing haters must take responsibility for their rhetoric, actions, and hatred against black people. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
For many of us, our lives are in danger every day. The attacks and threats we receive from white supremacists are real. This atrocity by a white supremacist in Buffalo is unforgivable and cannot be simply dismissed as insanity. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday to my dear friend & genius Stevie Wonder. Thanks Stevie, for Radio Station KJLH. Thanks for the wonderful songs you have entertained us with! Thanks for initiating MLK's birthday celebration. Thanks for your support for freedom, justice, and peace for this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Mother’s Day, mothers everywhere! Thank you to my children & all, who have wished me a Happy Mother’s Day. Let’s all remember our mothers do for us what they know how to do. Most of the time, what they do works well, sometimes not so well. However, love conquers everything! — PolitiTweet.org

Today the women of this country have gotten the first view of a leaked document from the SCOTUS that basically describes the destruction of Roe v.Wade. This decision will be devastating. Despite the pending decision, women must fight with every breath of life, to resist & resist! — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
I will continue in the struggle, for fairness and justice at every level of our society. Despite the threats, I have no fear, and I cannot be intimidated. My life has long been dedicated, to the struggle for equal justice, fairness, and respect. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
We must all be committed to justice, fairness, equality, and a criminal justice system that respects us and protects us, rather than abuses us. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
We need to get rid of recycled cops, that go from one jurisdiction to another despite having records of abuse and disregard for the very citizens they are supposed to protect and serve. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
Everyone must play a role in changing the police establishment, that for too long has abused its power and taken advantage of having a gun and badge to use against innocent people. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
We need to confront racism, police abuse, and elected officials who fear police organizations and refuse to confront them. We need real public relations programs put forward by police departments to interact with the community, for the community. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
We need police reform in this country. We need diversity and inclusion in the Criminal Justice System in this country at every level. We need the United States Congress, to adopt the police reform legislation that has been passed in the House and has been stalled in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
The George Floyd killing in Minneapolis, the killings of Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray, Elijah McClain, all of them black, along with the killings of many more Blacks and Latinos, continue to create volatile tension. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
The question is, has there been any progress since that time? We certainly have changed police chiefs, some better than others! But there is still a lack of trust in the police and situations can still end up with unrest. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
I considered the confrontation on these issues to be a renewed resistance to police brutality, and a feeling of having been dropped off of America's agenda. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
I took to the microphones, & I described my understanding of the anger, the distrust, and the feelings of being trapped with nowhere to go. No jobs, no careers, not enough food, and the constant shadow of hostile police, targeting unarmed young black men in particular, for abuse. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
My description and discussion of the unrest that took place on April 29th, 1992, described the miserable conditions and police abuse that was so prevalent in Los Angeles and in communities of color in particular. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
In the following days, while working on the street, responding to radio calls and telephone interviews, I defined the unrest differently from many outside observers, who claimed the unrest was just a bunch of criminals who wanted to steal and destroy. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
I organized to get food, baby diapers, and medicine to the public housing units in South LA, starting with Nickerson Gardens, Jordan Downs, and Imperial Courts housing projects. I then began to work on getting the lights turned on that had been stopped as a result of the unrest. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
The next day I made my way to the Public Housing developments in LA because I knew that the poor people there would be isolated and separated from grocery stores and other resources. — PolitiTweet.org
Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters
Upon arriving in LA on April 29th, the day the insurrection took place, I saw that the streetlights were out, and water was streaming through the streets. The police were everywhere. I got to my home and prepared to deal with the unrest unfolding in the streets. — PolitiTweet.org
