EEW Magazine // Social Media // Tweets of the Week
These are serious times in America, and social media is a powerful tool to impact the masses, promote activism, and share potent images and videos that make a lasting impression.
This week, EEW Magazine Online is highlighting the Twitter posts that challenged us, made us cry, and even made us angry. Most of all, they made us want to share.
Check out our 8 tweets of the week gathered by our editorial director, Rebecca Johnson.
We want justice for #BreonnaTaylor. The continuum of justice includes charging the officers who shot her 8 times. Where is the action on this, @louisvillemayor @lmpd @GovAndyBeshear? #BirthdayForBreonna #BreonnaTaylorBirthday pic.twitter.com/qc9bCwdA1b

I do not say this lightly or hastily but with fear & trembling after much deliberation. I think we are experiencing a divine reckoning in America. I don’t think the reckoning is over our having simply sinned. I think it’s over the fact that we have used God & the Bible to do it.

Teary all day. Mr. Floyd’s memorial. The gold casket. The sermon. His brother’s tears. His 2nd grade teacher sharing his homework from decades ago where he wrote that he wanted to be a judge when he grew up. A judge.

I've resigned as a member of the reddit board, I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate, + I will use future gains on my Reddit stock to serve the black community, chiefly to curb racial hate, and I’m starting with a pledge of $1M to @kaepernick7’s @yourrightscamp

We aren't asking for special treatment; we just do not want to be tried and convicted on a sidewalk.
