Gov Cooper of NC, the DC man who took many protestors into

[raccoon]

His home, and James Miller, who resigned from his role on the Defense Advisory Board due to what he said was Secretary of Defense Mark Esper's visible support for law enforcement officers' ....

These people give me HOPE.

Feel free to add to the list.

4. I am so glad to have Cooper as Gov right now

I can only shudder at what might be going on here if we had a Repug in the office thru these crises.

16. In fact, all Dem governors facing up to a sea of red in their legislatures including...

our Governor Andy Beshear and Lieutenant Governor Coleman......

7. Chuck Rosenberg, U.S. Attorney resigned early in the Drumph reign of terror (MSNBC contributor)

These are the heroes. People with conviction that honor their oaths and are decent.

8. All the police officers kneeling with protesters.

I know this happened in Fayetteville, Raleigh, and Asheville NC, and I heard it happened in Miami FL as well. And in Durham NC the police have been supportive of the protesters all week.

The only way our country can survive this is if the police and military refuse to follow unlawful orders.

11. Joe Biden going out on the street and listening to the protestors was huge for me.

He and EW walking around in DC, both of them without police, both showing respect for the protestors and is Joe's case having an active dialog with them.

13. Thank you to the police dept and all first responders of Camden, NJ

Camden's police dept was one of the first to join the protesters. For many years listed as the most dangerous city to live in in the country, it has come a long way with the least crime in decades. I was born in Camden and raised in Camden and it's surrounding suburbs until my late 20's. I want to personally thank them all for their courage in facing the multiple scourges they are having to deal with at this time and not using aggression as the first response and/or last word. Thanks for setting a good example for our children.

Tenessee National Guard.

15. Art Acevedo, the Houston Police Chief.

He calls George Floyd's death a killing. He wants the murdering cop and the other three charged. He regularly joins the protesters. Finally, in reference to the governor's call trump made, he said trump should keep his mouth shut.

17. The real protesters who have stood up to outsiders, criminals and troublemakers. n/t

Lifts my spirits, especially when they do that without adding to the division and violence.


KY.......

18. What gives me hope is the hundreds of thousands of young people who are out on the streets right now

They are fearless, and they are fearsome. They didn't get intimidated one bit by Trump's fascsit tactics, and they made his talk of domination backfire. Now they are dominating, and trump is hiding.

My hat is off to you, kids!
