In downtown Phoenix, hundreds peacefully protesting the death of George Floyd after a white police officer knelt on the black man’s neck until he passed out in Minneapolis.
Floyd was pleading for his life.
People chanting “I can’t breathe.” “No justice, no peace.”

The tweet posted and deleted by Dungy had nothing to do with Christianity. It was based on homophobia, transphobia and a false narrative weaponized by hate. Period.

You’re the definition of identity politics Tomi. Integrity? Let’s talk lay out the facts regarding the VP’s history of attacking LGBTQ people. He opposed hate crime protections and used his God as an excuse to do so.
ARIZONA UPDATE after latest Maricopa County ballot drop (62,000):
U.S. Senate:

As governor of Indiana, he advocated for the dangerous practice of conversion therapy on young people. He opposed marriage equality. He passed laws giving license to discriminate against people based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

@PeteButtigieg
Identity politics isn’t pointing out the facts. Identity politics is manipulating those facts to justify your own political ideology.
And as for questioning Buttigieg’s integrity, maybe you should read James 1:23-24 and re-read some of your old tweets.

@PeteButtigieg
He opposed the employment non-discrimination act. He opposed the repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.” He stands against the rights of Trans service members to protect our country.
Jubi’s sister Josie “ I braced myself for the day I would have to say this, and that time has come. As some of you may know, Jubi’s body has been found. Thank you for standing with us on this journey. It will not be over anytime soon. Bless your hearts.”

All journalists and news organizations need to do better.
We need to call out anti-LGBTQ political talking points as hate.
There is no need to legitimize anti-LGBTQ hate spewed by rightwing mouthpieces.
It’s simple.
LGBTQ have the right to exist without condemnation.

Tonight his family is holding a candlelight vigil at the State Capitol to bring more attention to Daniel’s case.

Daniel Robinson has been missing since June 23. His father David and volunteers have searched for the 24yo for nearly two months.
Accident reconstructionist and PI Jeff McGrath of 3 Laws Recon Investigations is also investigating.
The last search for Daniel performed by Buckeye Police Department was June 19th, the day my son's vehicle was found by a rancher. My volunteers for seven straight weeks searched the desert for Daniel rigorously. THANKS TO THE WOMEN AND MEN WHO CAME OUT TO HELP. I love you!!
@DanCrenshawTX
This talking point is absurd. All guest were tested and followed CDC guidelines. If unvaccinated Americans would get the vaccine, which is highly effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations and death, we’d be in a different position.
UPDATE: Brittney Griner’s wife Cherelle Griner posted this picture on her Instagram saying “I love my wife wholeheartedly, so this message comes during one of the weakest moments of my life… please honor our privacy as we continue to work on getting my wife home safely.”

The Governor blames the Biden-Harris administration for Arizona problems.
FACT: The Delta Variant is spreading across the state.
FACT: Arizona has low vaccination rates.
FACT: Ducey has prevented schools from taking action to prevent further spread in the classroom.
Arizona does not allow mask mandates, vaccine mandates, vaccine passports or discrimination in schools based on who is or isn’t vaccinated. We’ve passed all of this into law, and it will not change.
