Who ever thought the postmaster general would become a lightning rod of controversy? I always pictured him sitting around eating Pepperidge Farm cookies and leafing through the Old Farmer’s Almanac to find out when he should plant his heirloom tomatoes. And if Louis DeJoy were drawing a salary to do that I doubt anyone would…

'Sort of hilariously unconstitutional': Arrested protesters told they can no longer attend protests
I’ve spent most of the afternoon watching clips of the U.S. attorney general flouting standards of fairness and the rule of law, so this was a real pick-me-up. It seems some detained Portland protesters are being told, as a condition of their release, that they can no longer attend protests in the state of Oregon….
Trump's Thuggery Will Cost Him the Election
Mangoface clearly thinks sending armed anonymous federal agents dressed in military camouflage into America’s streets to beat up, snatch up, and generally fuck up American citizens exercising their Constitutional rights will help him win re-election. (It also feeds his sadism, his narcissism, his feelings of power, but mainly it’s about the election.) Like almost everything…
“Buildings Matter, Too”, equating violence against Black Americans and vandalism cost editor his job
Darn that BLM Plaza. Trump wanted a Space Force, when unlike an army in outer space, on this planet, it’s not about force in the urban space of protest and speech rights. In the 12 days of protest since the killing of George Floyd. the decline of paramilitary force in confronting protests has actually increased public participation and decreased…
Trump claims he fled to his bunker for an 'inspection'
Wow, Donald Trump is really upset about reports that he hid in his bunker like a shivering Pomeranian during a thunderstorm. Someone needs to let him know Hitler did it, too. Then it might not leave such a bad taste in his mouth. CNN: President Donald Trump sought to explain his presence in an underground White House bunker during…
Appears LMPD And National Guard Have Shot Dead A Local Business Owner in Louisville.

Andy Beshear has ordered Kentucky State Police to investigate the early Monday incident that featured Louisville Metro Police and National Guard personnel fatally shooting the…
The protestors need one location. Like MLK in 63.
I stand in soladarity with the protestors. I want to say that right off BUT the real protestors of non violence would show up at the Washington Mall or other huge arenas and the troublemakers and outside agitators, not so much. I know DC has been having protests but what is needed is the “…

This is what you get when the will of the people are ignored. An Angry America.
This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. This is bigger than Police Brutality in my opinion. I knew at some point people would take to the street when the majority of people are mistreated and ignored. Blacks and other minorities being mistreated, abused, insulted, killed and no leadership whatsoever in the majority of…

Racist says what? x Question: With your tweet today, are you concerned that you may be stoking more racial violence?Trump: No not at all… I have no idea if they’re going to be here.

They Were Over Six Feet Apart, Says Trump (Who Also Ignored Anti-Semitic Signs)
Above is a photo of a protest crowd today at Olympia, WA. Trump says he watched the protests (not specifically this one), and… “I watched the protest and they were all six feet apart,” Trump said at Sunday’s coronavirus task force briefing. “It was a very orderly group of people.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/… Maybe he meant “six…

Remember Those Protesting Kentucky Coal Miners?
There is a rather lengthy (surprisingly) Louisville Courier-Journal article on the plight of the laid off coal miners in Harlan County, Kentucky. The coal mine they worked for — Blackjewel — declared bankruptcy, and the miners’ paychecks bounced. The miners have been blocking the tracks to prevent Blackjewel from shipping out any more coal until they get…
So when is the march on Washington with chants of Lock them Up going to begin? A rant.
Crickets? Do I hear crickets? Or is that just chatter? Leadership needs a little backing, like about half of the country, every single day. I am as bad as anyone else on here griping about Pelosi and Shumer and all those elected to represent, We the People. We are the change. No one is coming…
The Turkish People Have Killed Their Fear Of Authority
I read a very interesting piece about the protests which have been sweeping across the major cities of Turkey. It seems that if you hold a people down with a heavy authoritative fist, they will eventually rise up and strike back. In this case, the Turks are doing so peacefully – despite the very violent…
