Be aware if you are in the city that a whole host of fascist and neo-Nazi agitators are in the city and looking to cause chaos. This photo is from a little before eight this morning at the vigil site where two neo-Nazi streamers showed up and started making extremely grotesque threats of violence.

On a QAnon podcast a few days ago, election denier David Clements said he met with U.S. Agency for Global Media's Kari Lake "for about an hour" & she told him that if VOA got more money than she wanted, she'd spend the funds on "content to the rest of the world about how rigged our elections are."
