The White House has never been used as a political prop during a Convention before. It belongs to all of the American people. Not just those who support one party.

“aspiring cop” is an interesting way to say terrorist

Trevor Noah: “Nobody drives into a city with guns because they love someone else’s business that much. That’s some bullshit. No one has ever thought, ‘Oh, it’s my solemn duty to pick up a rifle and protect that T.J. Maxx.’ They do it because they’re hoping to shoot someone.”

In 1970 Ted Bundy saved a child from drowning.

[Madison @mnbodenhamer]

But apparently the 17-year-old who illegally possessed and carried a firearm across state lines is exempt from that curfew. Interesting.

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis seemed to suggest that the two people fatally shot during the third night of protests in Kenosha, WI, were responsible for their own deaths after staying out past the city's curfew

A massive hurricane is about to hit Texas, California is on fire, the NBA is on strike in protest of a police shooting, 180,000 people are DEAD from a virus our president won’t contain while we‘re watching Republicans congratulate themselves on what a good job they’re doing.

[Michael Gianaris @SenGianaris]

When Trump glorifies one, we inevitably get the other.

If you don’t see how uplifting the McCloskeys emboldens people like Kyle Rittenhouse then you’re not paying attention.

Ending police brutality is more important than sports

[Lucy Caldwell @lucymcaldwell]

Don’t see a lot of conservative commentators clamoring about how murderer Kyle Rittenhouse is a high school dropout, was possessing military-grade firearms illegally. Can’t imagine why not since they always let us know about slain black men’s history of speeding tickets. Strange!

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

A 17 year old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove across state lines, armed with an AR 15.

He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity, and worth of Black lives.

Fix your damn headlines.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Let me get this straight. A Black man is shot in the back 7 times, while getting in car with his kids. A White youth carrying an AR-15 walks away, after killing people. Same police force, same town, same week. And what is Trump’s response? Send in troops to crush the protesters.

[Julián Castro @JulianCastro]

"An individual was involved in the use of firearms to resolve a conflict" is a strange way of explaining that someone murdered two protestors.

[Kristen Clarke @KristenClarkeJD]

This is Trayford Pellerin, shot several times in the back at close range by Lafayette, LA police as he was walking away from them. He was 31. At a time when communities are peacefully marching for an end to police violence against Black people, this fatal shooting is outrageous.

[Shane Burley בד @shane_burley1]

I have to be honest, this is infuriating. The police let the Proud Boys attack and beat protesters, who did nothing wrong, and now that the far-right has left, they are brutalizing the BLM protesters also. #PortlandProtest

[Tariq Nasheed 🇺🇸 @tariqnasheed]

After alleged mass shooter Kyle Rittenhouse shot several people in Kenosha, he casually walked towards police and gave them what appears to be a pre-planned hand signal. And the police didn’t lay a finger on him.

The police are working hand and hand with these terrorists groups

[Malaika Jabali @MalaikaJabali]

If you’re wondering why the white kid who shot & killed multiple protestors could walk calmly to police immediately after without getting apprehended, here he is minutes earlier going up to their armored trucks to get water they offered him & his armed militia crew.
