Washington state passed an assault weapons ban—now it's time for the other Washington to pass a federal ban too. RT if you agree.

Whatever happens tonight at the Ten, give a thought for @MollyHuddle 's amazing American record, 30:13.17, which she ran in August 2016 to finish sixth in Rio. No super shoes, no pacers, first 5K split of 14:57. runnersworld.com/news/a20816…

🧵 It has been made clear that Black lives hold little value in America. What happened to Keenan Anderson is reprehensible. The King Center is praying for his family. We call for a full investigation of this matter and for the officers who killed Keenan to be held accountable…

Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop. Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing. His crime—asking police for help.
