All these protests have more people than the con's anti-lock down demontrations

[malaise]

I hope the media point that out.

I love that the protesters are multi-racial. This is good. Bye bye Don the Con. It's over.
I think they're heading for the National Mall.

Things are getting hot in Atlanta as well

1. This! +10000

2. All those RW protesters are just cosplaying

A bunch of white people driving their SUVs down to the state capital to complain about how “Grr, we’re angry!” They dress up in their Stars and Stripes and their Call of Duty outfits, prance around with signs for an afternoon, and then go home.

What’s happening right now is the real thing. People have been shit on for too long. It had to boil over eventually.

3. +1

7. People taking a knee in Minneapolis

with hands up - not moving curfew or no curfew - police throwing tear gas, smoke bombs

[malaise]

4. Don't forget their weapons of choice

Call of Duty outfits
And yes this is the real thing.
Don't you love the silence from ReTHUGs everywhere.

[EarlG]

5. Aye, the weapons

If you can afford to drop a few grand on a couple of AR-15s, maybe you don’t have it so bad.

[malaise]

6. Cornel West is nailing it on Anderson Cooper

systemic failure - fight against the fascists.
It's going to be a long hot summer of discontent.

8. Yes. Far more. Yet, not many compared to all the others.

Metro Atlanta has roughly 6 million people, over a third black, 11% Hispanic, and then other minority races. Virtually all are home watching this on TV.

Speaking of different races, let's spare a thought for all the minorities who are being shot down by racist cops, Hispanic the second most targeted. Unless you look at poor people of all backgrounds -- truly invisible victims in shocking numbers. All lives matter.
