Sure is “funny” how one bad apple in the militarized police force is used as an excuse to do nothing, yet one bad apple in a group of peaceful protesters is used as an excuse to attack the entire crowd and every other crowd like it.

@jack is acting like France when they wanna say they support Black people but hasn’t lifted a finger when it comes to reflecting on their OWN personal contributions to the problem. https://twitter.com/jack/status/1267660970270134272
Look at your own wrongdoings that inflated these problems.

Europeans, hop off saying “this could never happen in your countries”. America is the child of y’alls rhetoric and knowledge. None of y’all have repaid back the debts to the Caribbean or Africa - y’all STILL benefiting off that shit. Pay that back and then we’ll talk.

This is the California National Guard, mobilized by Gov Newsom as requested by Mayor Garcetti.
It’s a state effort only, which is largely symbolic of another USA Federal failure, which might have underwritten a similar effort for COVID relief prior to the riots.
The US can't organize testing centers for covid but they can construct a military base in a few hours as soon as the status quo is threatened by the underprivileged

Are there any research groups out there that keep track of the Twitter UI & UX over time? I'm trying to nail down roughly when Twitter changed their signup flow to assign "David1234567" type names as a permanent username you need to change, rather than a suggestion during signup.

Stephen, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this truth and supporting it with scripture. At times, I feel alone in my own community because too few believers are willing to stand for social justice. I know it’s not easy to put yourself out there like this. Thanks.

"html": "<h2>A Secret Love \u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606</h2>\n<p>A documentary telling the story of Pat and Terry, two women who began to live with each other as romantic partners in the 1940s. They kept their lesbian relationship secret from their families who remarkably seemed surprised when they came out in the 2000s. Terry played in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League in the 1940s which is an interesting although not central fact. The central story is about love in the face of aging (and years of homophobia).

Can someone with journalism training tell me who newspapers mean when they anonymously cite "US officials" or "American officials"? Does that generally mean federal government at some level or is it applied to state level or something different or perhaps more specific?

I saw this live and it made me yell at my TV. Seriously, so tone deaf.
This wasn’t the only thing he said that rubbed me the wrong way, either.
