The hundreds of thousands of Black & Latino men who were subjected to stop-and-frisk did not have the option to “leave NYC.” They endured the reign of Bloomberg - the beloved choice of elite New Yorkers - who even supported changing the law to give Bloomberg a 3rd term.

Seeing a lot of horses being used against protesters right now. Like with bikes and cars in 2020, you need to be ready to protect yourselves. Police horses are *highly* trained, you are not likely to spook them. However, there are ways to protect yourself and the people around you. (Thread)

What violence, Senator? LADP officers shooting reporters with rubber bullets? Sheriff’s deputies indiscriminately tossing flashbacks over fences into people’s yards?
You want an end to the violence? So do I. Once ICE stops indiscriminately kidnapping people, everyone will go home.

Violence must stop, and we need to keep the focus on protecting fundamental rights.
There is nothing President Trump would like more than a violent confrontation with protestors to justify the unjustifiable — invocation of the Insurrection Act or some form of martial law.

RESIST PEACEFULLY.
The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate.
