After a vigilante killed 2 ppl & injured 1, Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis was asked if he wanted vigilante militia groups to return for additional nights. He refused to reply. The silence says everything we need to know about who he supports in the fight for justice.

Read this. Read it again. We arent imagining racism. We arent overly sensitive. We live it everyday. Racism impacts every facet of life. Racism can kill, maim, wound, brutalize, and steal. It has to stop.

Solidarity.

Officer Williams was speaking TRUTH to POWER… and lost his job for it. How is it that HE was fired but 3 of the 4 Louisville Metro cops who killed Breonna Taylor remain employed? That’s DISGRACEFUL. @wolfgangjoc, we are with you ✊🏾

DeJoy ordered USPS to remove 671 mail sorting machines by end of September, including 24 in Ohio, 11 in Detroit, 11 in Florida, 9 in Wisconsin, 8 in Philadelphia and 5 in Arizona. Will removed mail equipment be restored? DeJoy doesn't say in letter & we need answers

In advance of the classified briefing I’ll hear later today, I reviewed classified documents this morning. They are chilling. Declassify this information. Americans deserve & need to know about ongoing foreign interference (even sabotage) in our election system.

A lawyer said a man who opened fire over having to wear a mask and then shot at police trying to restrain him was “not handling the pandemic well.”

People everywhere aren’t handling the pandemic well. Only America is giving those people access to AK-47s. https://t.co/06BpkCdh4U

When discussing the racial wealth gap, we need to discuss these stories. A black family bought prime Manhattan Beach real estate in 1912 for $1,225. They were harassed by racists and their property was wrongfully seized. That property is worth $75M today https://t.co/Wi2tCscbwC

Navy SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, FL used @Kaepernick7 stand-in at 2019 fundraiser’s K9 demonstration. They say “Navy SEALs and Navy SEAL dogs take down Colin Kaepernick for not standing during National Anthem,” then “Oh man, I will stand” as the crowd laughs (via @billycorben)

Some good news. Grace has been released.

[ProPublica @propublica]

Grace’s story, first published by ProPublica Illinois, prompted outrage and debate across the country. Though a judge refused to set the girl free, the Michigan Court of Appeals ordered her immediate release from a juvenile detention facility in Detroit. https://t.co/uqgkdfE4hL

PELOSI exiting election security briefing this morning says administration is “withholding” evidence of foreign election interference, per pool.

For more than 6 minutes, Lionel Morris asked police to let him up. “I can’t breathe,” he said, handcuffed, lying on the ground. “If you can talk, you can breathe,” officers answered. Morris had no pulse when EMTs arrived, and died en route to the hospital. https://t.co/OXxIxPrc6H
