Portland’s Governor needs to call up the National Guard to PROTECT the protestors. This needs to be stopped before it spreads.
Understand, in all federal agencies combined, he does not have enough manpower to police all of the cities. DOD will not be a player this time. EXPECT that he will deputize militias to bulk up end-strength; that's possible reason for unmarked uniforms.

We marched, cried, kneeled with our hands up, organized and pushed for change; we ran for office and won, but the oppressors came back even stronger. Too many stood by thinking that it was not their fight or were delighted when we were met with tear gas, batons, rabid dogs, fire hoses and guns. Too many did not want to believe that “injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.” Now the dark forces have come for them, the government has turned against them, their rights are being trampled and there is no one left in power to hear their cries.
Ms. Dorothy Height, President, National Council of Negro Women, was a co-convener and original member of the “Big Six;” however, she was a woman… Hence, no speaking role; scant press acknowledgement; however, she did more than her fair share of the work…

Historically, you'll see the organizers of the March on Washington in 1963 referred to as The Big Six. It's even a Wikipedia article https://t.co/Zg573l0VaA
That narrative completely eliminates the efforts of The National Council of Negro Women and the work of Dorothy Height

So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, which moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
J’Ob,
Maybe like me you had a break-up with the world this weekend on a few fronts, as yet unhealed.
Seeing meta’s post made me think of the last part of a Shakester sonnet.
“Let this sad interim like the ocean be
Which parts the shore, where two contracted new
Come daily to the banks, that, when they see
Return of love, more blest may be the view;
Else call it winter, which being full of care
Makes summer’s welcome thrice more wish’d, more rare.”
(56: “Sweet love renew thy force”)
Yay Georgia Democrats! Here’s our nominee for the GA-05 ballot in November.
Congratulations to my dear friend and @GeorgiaDemocrat Chair, Senator @NikemaWilliams on her nomination as the CD-5 candidate to represent Democrats on the ballot in November.
Her fight for the oppressed, the left-behind and the strivers will continue to serve Georgia well. pic.twitter.com/qgs6HlQkzK
We're thrilled for PP alumna @NikemaWilliams! From her time at @PPSE_Advocates to her remarkable career as a state senator + @GeorgiaDemocrat leader, she's a proven, unapologetic, and effective leader who will fight for civil rights and repro freedom and carry John Lewis’ torch. https://t.co/jEAVmvOR8o

“We’re signing a health care plan within two weeks —
a full and complete health care plan that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do. So we’re going to solve — we’re going to sign an immigration plan, a health care plan and various other plans. And nobody will have done what I’m doing in the next four weeks. The Supreme Court gave the president of the United States powers that nobody thought the president had by approving, by doing what they did — their decision on DACA. And DACA’s going to be taken care of also. But we’re getting rid of it, because we’re going to replace it with something much better. What we got rid of already, which was most of Obamacare — the individual mandate. And that I’ve already won on. And we won also on the Supreme Court. But the decision by the Supreme Court on DACA allows me to do things on immigration, on health care, on other things that we’ve never done before. And you’re going to find it to be a very exciting two weeks.”

“Trump and the Republican National Committee chose more than a month ago to move the convention festivities to Florida after Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper refused to promise a “full-fledged” convention in Charlotte, where Trump had planned to address a packed Spectrum Center. The 2020 Jacksonville Host Committee initially announced plans to focus the convention around the 15,000-seat VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, located downtown.
But in Republican-led Florida — and Republican-led Jacksonville — state regulations currently limit entertainment venues to 50% capacity, and the city has ordered that masks be worn indoors in public places to prevent the increased spread of COVID-19.
All of that contributed to RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel’s decision last week to limit attendance to Trump’s speech to about 7,500 delegates and guests. And that was before Jacksonville’s Republican sheriff warned that a lack of clarity and a paucity of resources have made it all but impossible to safely police the party’s gatherings.”

He talks about taking away health insurance completely and he says he’s going to replace it with what?
He’s been talking about that forever. Zero. I, quite frankly, don’t get it and I don’t understand how he thinks it appeals to the American people. Overwhelmingly, the American people want us to keep Obamacare and improve on it, not get rid of it. In the middle of a pandemic with hundreds of thousands of people ill and dying – and he wants to take away health insurance? My lord.”
