It'S jUsT a SyMbOl of SoUtHeRn HeRiTaGe

Protests are extending out to the greater Chicagoland area. This is Aurora, Ill (population ~200,000) tonight. You might remember Aurora from the Henry Pratt warehouse mass shooting last year.

Dems getting outflanked by Justin Amash

I mean, Vancouver also rioted after the Stanley Cup that one year so... Vancouver is a land of contrasts, I guess.

This is at least the third separate story I've seen of a protestor losing an eye (the other two were getting shot in the eye with rubber bullets)

It's not an actual organization in the sense that there's any central leadership of any kind. Which means that the practical effects of this would be that they would just target anyone who's ever googled, like, "why Antifa gud?," which they 100% will consider a feature and not a bug. Oh, just an unrelated reminder, 10 Democratic senators just voted to let Bill Barr warrantlessly obtain a list of anyone googling certain search terms.

lol, the account is fake Joy Reid now. I wonder if it's a bot that just becomes some other left-centristy person every X number of hours.

Not the real account, right? Only one e in the username.

The fuck is this?

It really would be hard to construct a parody tweet that was more on the nose than that. Just utterly vacuous.

Facebook is having a Q&A session with its staff about its decisions regarding Trump's posts. Here's how it's going

Based on what I just saw driving, every restaurant near me that's doing outdoor patio seating is full to capacity. I guess we'll get a pretty good indicator of how safe outdoor dining is in a week or so.

Yeah, the entire concept of them having certain news sites as "trusted sources" means they're considering themselves to be the arbiters of truth on some level.

woah

Not sure if causing super-spreader events inside churches is really a good long-term play for a Republican administration, but what do I know, really

Ben Garrison is woke now

Here are the details of that executive order. There's a lot of language like, "task the Commerce Department to petition the Federal Communications Commission to open a rulemaking proceeding to reconsider the scope of the law," so my suspicion is that this will not actually do anything in practice, but it absolutely would break the internet if it DID do something. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/05/27/trump-twitter-executive-order/

I don't --really-- think this would be possible for them to get away with, but there's like... 5% of my brain that thinks that maybe they installed a Trump loyalist as Postmaster General to try and actually tamper with the mail-in vote. Most likely it's just to try and fuck with the USPS shipping rates because of his Amazon beef, but... like I said... 5% of my brain.

I think the only real way to interpret these rants against mail-in voting are as attempts to lay the groundwork for doing exactly that if he loses.

At some point Trump fans are going to start interpreting these as directives to try and steal their liberal neighbors' mail to "balance the scales" or whatever
