Underwood was killed just blocks away from anti-police violence protests in Oakland, but federal authorities say he was killed by Steven Carrillo, an Air Force staff sergeant and a follower of the “boogaloo boys,†a right-wing extremist movement that, according to the Washington Post’s Katie Shepherd, “has sought to use peaceful protests against police brutality to spread fringe views and ignite a race war.â€
Carrillo was taken into federal custody, and he faces murder charges.
Kyle Howard Rittenhouse’s social media presence is filled with him posing with weapons, posting “Blue Lives Matter,†and supporting Trump for president. Footage from the Des Moines, Iowa, rally on Jan. 30 shows Rittenhouse feet away from the president, in the front row, to the left of the podium. He posted a TikTok video from the event.
Seven months later, Rittenhouse went with his rifle to the third night of Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha after police shot Blake, a Black man who is now paralyzed as a result, according to his family. Rittenhouse attended as an armed vigilante, supposedly assisting police and protecting property in an unofficial capacity. Instead, he allegedly prowled the protest with a gun. Videos captured him fraternizing with law enforcement and attempting to get their attention.

When we see something thats not right, not fair, or not just, we have a moral obligation to speak up and speak out to do something about it

Morning
Listing to Morning Joe on the way in (for whatever that's worth) and Mika was citing reports of people who are leaning right say they were going to not vote for the Trashhole but now that they see all the violence they were going to vote for him again. Sounds more like people just looking for an excuse to vote for him. It still is worrying though.
We have to turn out more then 65 millions people to make ourselves heard, its so frustrating.

I don't use the word Fascism lightly.
I know you all know that.
I obtained a video of @realDonaldTrump and his lawyer, Daniel Petrocelli, discussing the Trump U fraud lawsuit during a break in a deposition for that case. Petrocelli's law firm demanded we not publish the video and destroy it. We didn't.pic.twitter.com/J9ULfbDVLe
