Elation. Sadness. Joy. Bittersweet disbelief.
It's all so tragic. It won't bring him back. So many things still need to change. And yet... Today was a victory.
Staying with that for now.

Justice and Accountability! Things I never thought I would see. There’s much more work to do, but this is an amazing start working toward the reform this country NEEDS!

Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied. pic.twitter.com/mihZQHqACV
