I did not know, and I am ashamed to live under a system of racism that spans the highest offices, to sentencing, to profiling, to hiring, to media and beyond. Minorities are constantly under attack here: intentionally, unintentionally, and even inadvertently.

Always thought they didn't like the "Black" but it turns out they also don't like the "lives matter" part either.

Still no indication from Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer that they are going to refuse support for any CR that appropriates or allows funding for ICE and CBP. They are useless. Both should be primaried.

This is the core truth of the Trump Era -- this, and the pathological refusal of US elites to face up to & acknowledge it.
Despite years of "economic anxiety" discourse, the core drivers of Trump support have always been bigotry and misinformation.

Gotham FC had a friendly against FC Bayern München today, and I can't find any info about it ☹️.
I'm sure it's just a tune up game before the Women's Champions Cup starts later this month, but still, those are two huge teams, so I thought there'd be SOME info about it.

Call me crazy, but I don't think the question of whether or not Bovino belongs in his job depends on whether or not he deletes the tweet he made calling protesters "cannon fodder." Making the tweet (along with many other things he's done) should disqualify him from any law enforcement job ever.
Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

One of my favorite federal laws is the one that says a civil rights violation under color of law carries the death penalty.
