one killed, this time in Portland amid protests and counter-protests
Because we’re still using stereotypes from the 1960s, the Nixonian 1968 campaign Trump now has hate riders and flags. And violence. Presently lots of disinformation on twitter with RWNJs spinning the event. One version of reporting is that a person with a Patriot Prayer hat sprayed someone with pepper spray and got shot for his…
Tucker Carlson gives cover to a domestic terrorist who killed two and shot others.
The Kenosha killer was apparently a Trumpist, and wasn’t immediately arrested, even as the police witnessed several people being shot. Jacob Blake’s assailant has also yet to be arrested.

the guy who killed Bin Laden decides he can't be grabbed by Trump
Apparently double-tapping bin Laden doesn’t count as much for Trumpists like Mark Meadows, and even the guy who did it can’t be grabbed by Trump. x I do wear a mask, @Alyssa_Milano … this attempt at a joke did NOT go over well… https://t.co/LgQR6UzN0d— Robert J.

Accountability for crimes against humanity: Trump killed tens of thousands of Americans
Will Saletan discusses “Trump’s interference or negligence in every stage of the government’s failure: preparation, mobilization, public communication, testing, mitigation, and reopening.” Then America’s luck ran out. “The U.S., which accounts for less than 5% of the world population, leads all other countries in global coronavirus infections and deaths” — CNBC The most complete, fully…
Most cops aren't good. The statement makes our inaction tolerable as POCs visibly abused/killed.
The police said their policy dictated that they put these innocent women and little girls in handcuffs and on the ground because of policy. BS. Do you think if that were a white family they'd do that? Hell no. Why I have zero, trust in cops. Punto final! x x YouTube Video Watch the full…
Trump's petty revenge fantasies have killed thousands but we're worried about that bruise
Like the Trump administration, four years of missed appointments and scheduling problems. Also there’s a film Trump has blocked for four years. Trump needs to rearm or he won’t win. You shouldn’t worry about the alligator that eats your limbs, worry about the one that eats the boat. x The fact that he has thin…

Trump lost a month and may have killed more people because he may still believe in 'herd immunity'
The Trumpian disinformation machine lost a month and now recalibrates death toll expectations in the last two pressers. President Tiger King’s reelection can only happen with a recovering economy and a receding coronavirus contagion. In his desperation, his media frame for electoral success now moves from zero to 100,000 deaths. Today he lied about testing rates and fled…
Trump's reckless promotion of unapproved chloroquine likely just killed a man
Oh, why oh why would anyone ever get the idea to do something this foolish? I can’t even imagine where such a preposterous idea would ever come from.

Our healthcare system killed her 22-year-old daughter

Trump on Obama: 'They could impeach him' … 'they could've killed him'

Then we could end those Muslims before they walk in and killed us. Jerry Falwell Jr
Now someone repeat back to me that this is not a call to murder and bloodshed, that this rhetoric is not designed to incite people to violence but is only words. “If some of those people in that community center had had what I’ve got in my back pocket right now,” he continued before he…
Shot and killed in the line of duty: racial demographics
First and foremost, what this diary isn't: it isn't a discussion of the demographics of people shot and killed by the police. I'd love to present that data. But so would plenty of other people. There's no central reporting of who cops shoot or even kill, nor anything like a reliable third-party repository of that…
