The only reason we are up at 3 AM, instead of Biden winning clearly at 9 PM, is that slaveowners created a ridiculous mechanism to protect slavery in 1787.

It looks like Pres Trump will carry Racine County with 100% of the votes counted. A net gain of 4300 votes about 300 more than 2016.

Historic: Wisconsin now has more than 3.1M votes if you include 169k abs ballots that haven’t been added to totals yet. Plus we are still waiting for half of Brown County to report. Doesn’t include 3rd party results either. 2012 was previous vote total record of 3.07M

“The use of faith in this whole instance really breaks my heart,” says Father Edward Beck about Pres. Trump’s photo-op at a church shortly after his remarks about the protests over the death of George Floyd. “The word of God was on the side of protesters who were pushed back.”

Meanwhile, billions of dollars of exploitation, fraud and other white collar crime happens with no arrests, no police involvement, nothing. We need to divest in our entire system of overincarceration and overpolicing. We are not made safer or closer to justice by any of it.

George Floyd’s brother on his call with Trump: “It was so fast, he didn’t give me an opportunity to even speak. It was hard. I was trying to talk to him, but he just kept, like, pushing me off, like I don’t want to hear what you’re talking about.”

We don’t have a President.

Remember, the violence that caused all of this was the violence of the police. We did not start this.
