not in Minneapolis, which is where they're headed to. that situation is completely out of control and was either a) the plan all along (some cops) or b) a show of incredible incompetence (the mayor).

I wonder how that goes.

The worse things get the more likely it is that we'll need to go back to full lockdown again later. It wasn't safe to reopen as is, and this is likely to make it even worse.

Might have missed all this in everything going on but SCOTUS ruled 5-4 to deny a church's emergency application seeking to block California's COVID-19 restriction on large gatherings. Roberts + Liberals. Roberts writes for the majority, Kavanaugh wrote the dissent.

https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1266581519323336709

Roberts's opinion is basically "guys this is a reasonable health restriction" while Kavanaugh went "DISCRIMINATION AGAINST RELIGION!" The journalist notes that it's pretty rare for Roberts to concur in a denial of an emergency application and speculates that he wanted to respond to Kavanaugh's dissent which is pretty nuts.

Kavanaugh's dissent is wild, and frankly very indicative of why he doesn't belong on any bench, let alone the one he's actually on. Shame on Gorsuch and Thomas for going along with it, too.

I disagree with that somewhat. I think his handling of the RoRo sidelined some small amount of his people. This is an excuse for them to get back into the fold. Its clearly a bad reason, but thats cognitive dissonance for you

I agree with that 100%

And i feel like i missed your main point which was that if a member of his base was the type who was fine with the police murders, they were never going to be leaving him anyway which i agree with as well.

Yes, and we don't try to cater to them. Some people are lost. If a grown ass adult wants to touch a stove, and insist the stove isn't hot while getting 3rd degree burns, I'm not trying to reach out to them.

Holy shit at these tweets from Trump where you can see him all but fantasizing about unleashing the Secret Service and dogs on the protestors in DC (who he calls professionally organized of course).

I've had a policy not to directly link to his tweets but if you really want to see them Acosta links to them here while providing some context.

but then lmao the idea of pulling up a large group of MAGAts in fucking DC

even in the fantasy that there are still legitimate fence-sitters swayed to Trump over this, that ain't happening with the man blatantly egging on a war in the streets

I've seen a number of black voices argue that the systemic injustice is far more threatening to them than the virus. One can take precautions against a virus, and spreading that virus in their homes; one cannot take precautions against a militarized police force that decides on its own when, where, and how to end black lives.

let's not get crazy with the author of the decision that gutted the Voting Rights Act because racism was over

Roberts has always been concerned with legacy and the appearance of nonpartisanship so he occasionally crosses over to side with the liberals sometimes on some outlandish cases while gleefully entrenching Republican power in other ones like Citizens United, Shelby County, etc. hoping the former acts as cover for the latter.
