Obama might be on a personal mission to get Trump to stroke out. Godspeed, good sir.

🚨ALARM: A video of JB Pritzker is going viral after he tore into the authoritarian playbook. “We don’t have kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one.” He warned it took the Nazis “one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes” to dismantle a republic. Democracy doesn't die in years; it dies in hours. Get this everywhere and let’s pay attention.

🚨BREAKING: Bad Bunny was AMAZING. He just humiliated Turning Point USA and their “all-American” counter-rally implying Puerto Ricans and anyone who isn’t white aren’t American. Fuck that. THIS is America.

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying….Everything that is in these files—it could bring an entire house down. And if it has to, it has to. If it brings down Democrats, bring them down. If it brings down Republicans, bring them down. Bring down princes, world leaders, Hollywood people, bring them down. But what it feels like right now is that there's a giant cabal of people that do not have to listen to the law

The administration's response to the Signal debacle is just suffused with contempt for their own voters. Just an endless belief that the people who support them can be tricked into believing the laziest misdirection imaginable.

Replying to @robbiehendricks
Most Americans don’t like government waste. The goal isn’t the issue. The who matters. Elon Musk is not only unqualified to do this — his business interests make him compromised. He has proven to be a wholly untrustworthy person. He is the worst spreader of misinformation on this platform. I won’t even get into the Nazi salute, but he is aligned himself with dangerous, extreme politics abroad that should have everyone concerned. But for the sake of argument, let’s take his politics out of it. USAID doesn’t even comprise 1 percent of the federal budget. By far the most wasteful portion of government is the department of defense — which no one wants to touch. Anyway, Musk has weaponized this platform by making false claims that USAID was creating bioweapons. No evidence. Zero proof. He’s amplifying fake videos and this is the person we’re supposed to trust to vet out government corruption? He made a dubious claim yesterday that FEMA used $59 million on undocumented people. Where’s the proof? Considered he’s lied countless times on this platform, why on Earth would you ever trust him in this position. I apologize for the length of this post but suddenly the U.S. is targeting South Africa because of his influence. He’s the child of apartheid and he has convinced Trump to withhold aid from South Africa to return land to white landowners. Like … what? What has that got to do with America? He is creating absolute chaos. And let’s not forget he’s targeting arms of the government that we’re investigating his specific companies. He is a billionaire who now has so much control in our government and I’m trying to figure why everyone else isn’t completely alarmed by this as well. Literally every red flag is there. But because we have a considerable amount of the population has lost trust in the government, and he feeds on this so you don’t pay attention to what he’s really doing. That man should not have access to sensitive financial information of the American people. We did not vote for him, and we didn’t vote for that. Also, if USAID was as corrupt as we’re being led to believe … why was Marco Rubio in full praise of the organization a few years ago? Was it corrupt when Ivanka Trump used $50 million from the organization to aid girls and women in underdeveloped countries during Trump’s first presidency? Again, I have no doubt that government could be leaner. Elon Musk is not the person to do that.

Please share this video of @Tim_Walz calling Elon Musk a "dipshit" before Twitter bans it 😆

At least 24 people were arrested on Saturday during protests calling to defund the police in Chicago. “As somebody who runs an organization promoting peace, I can tell you that the Chicago Police Department initiated and sustained attacks on protesters that were there.”

"The City of Chicago has been sued over kettling in the past, perhaps most notably reaching a $6.2 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit over use of the tactic to arrest more than 700 people at a 2003 demonstration against the Iraq War." nbcchicago.com/news/local/ch… – at Chicago, IL

I‘ll also vote and help get out the vote. These things aren’t mutually exclusive. We can get out the vote and also prepare for mass protest. Anyone who says otherwise is being naive about a man who has shown absolutely no regard for the law, or doesn’t want us to protest.

National Geographic videographer, Trip Jennings, was shot in the face by an impact munition in Portland. The round went through the eye of his gas mask, causing eye lacerations, and he was pepper sprayed so bad that the doctor had to wear a respirator. His account posted on FB:

Here's a handy roundup you can share w/ people perpetuating false narratives about Chicagoans w/ comments like: "Why don't they protest gun violence in THEIR OWN neighborhoods?!" blockclubchicago.org/2020/06…
