Latest top post on r/unemployment. Found this one particularly interesting

[Jeremy Konyndyk @JeremyKonyndyk]

The fact that they think these are different things is the reason they are failing at both.

[DetroitFree @DetroitFM]

Can you imagine a world where we unseat Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell? Could be the future.

[Charles Booker @Booker4KY]

The numbers are coming in.

What’s going on in Kentucky, you ask???

Something big.

[Triple Double Cocaine Bear’s stan account @Triple7sUp]

States: We’ve broken a new daily record for Covid cases

Governors: WELL ANYWHO, on to phase 4

[DetroitFree @DetroitFM]

You are a moron. Go back to fucking prison.

[Dinesh D'Souza @DineshDSouza]

Let’s say GOP sends a mass email telling Democrats the election date has been changed. Would this “prank” be election interference? Yes! So too the @AOC “prank” to fraudulently block ticket slots for a Trump rally would seem to be interference with legitimate election activity

[DetroitFree @DetroitFM]

This is one reason why “going to the polls” isn’t always simple. 616,000 people are supposed to vote in one place on one day.

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

Kentucky cutting number of polling places for Tuesday’s primary from 3700 to 200

There will be one polling place for 616,000 registered voters in Louisville’s Jefferson County, where half state’s black voters live

This is going to be a disaster

Worthless. Performative. Lazy.

[Wild Geerters @steinkobbe]

Maybe I have a weird idea of what a "holiday" is but this just sounds like a regular day to me

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Who gives a shit

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Ever notice that when we talk about having a healthcare system where people don’t pay at the point of service, it’s “Free stuff is irresponsible & wrong!” but when it comes to raining military equip on undertrained police across the country it’s “Hey don’t worry it’s free stuff”

[Beau of The Fifth Column @BeauTFC]

Cops have been dealing with a tiny negative bias for like two weeks and they're posting videos of themselves crying in drive throughs. Imagine 400 years of negative bias.

Sucks fitting the description, huh?

[DetroitFree @DetroitFM]

Amen. This has been my project over quarantine. Soon there will be time for working. But life outside of work is worth a lot more right now.

[Justin Jackson @ThisJustyn_]

If quarantine proved anything it’s that you should decouple your self-worth from productivity

[DetroitFree @DetroitFM]

Failure. Absolute failure. Worthless waste of four years. Worse than a waste. Destruction. Pathetic. Sad.

[Ian Sams @IanSams]

Confirmation that the recession began *BEFORE* coronavirus lockdowns went into effect.

Trump wrecked the economy pre-pandemic.

[DetroitFree @DetroitFM]

I think it would be hard to imagine those folks supporting Bernie if he were the den nominee. So perhaps it’s a little bit of both, David.

[David Pakman @dpakman]

Now that George W Bush, Colin Powell, aren't supporting Trump, you'll hear lame takes from some on the left like "it's because Biden is so right wing, they prefer Biden to Trump." The better analysis is, Trump is so disastrous that even members of his own party are abandoning him

[David Pakman @dpakman]

Flying a Confederate flag is way more disrespectful than kneeling during the National Anthem. Disagree?

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

June 6, 1944. Largest ANTIFA operation in history.

[Ed Markey @EdMarkey]

We must ban the use of tear gas by law enforcement. Tear gas is an indiscriminate weapon that was banned in warfare nearly 100 years ago. It is insane that we allow police to use it against protestors today.

[DetroitFree @DetroitFM]

Martin Gugino is the man who Buffalo police shoved down & was bleeding from the head. He is now in stable condition and turns out to be long time activist, driven by his faith to fight against injustice. This is what left-wing activism looks like and also what a hero looks like.

[Beau of The Fifth Column @BeauTFC]

As you weigh the footage of police brutality emerging from all corners of the country, please remember they are aware they are being filmed. This is them on their best behavior. This is them fully aware their actions are being broadcast. They believe this is ok.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

police are beating random people who aren’t even protesting because it’s not about looting or rioting- it never was about order. this is collective punishment for daring to speak out against the police.
