RT @JeffSharlet: You may have seen a popular meme of the anti-Black Lives Matter police nationalist flag with stripes pulled away to reveal a Nazi flag. I get the sentiment, but it obscures fact that this authoritarian flag is, now at least, far more versatile in its service to neo-fascism.
RT @JeffSharlet: Police nationalists often merge "law & order" w/ an authoritarian idea of Christianity. But in essence I think it's a secularization of authoritarian faith, fetishization of a fixed, received "law & order" similar to fundamentalist "natural law" w/ state power replacing divine. https://t.co/s0rJ50jeg5
RT @JeffSharlet: Police nationalists are white supremacists (including occasional non-white ones; it's an infectious disease) who don't want to think of themselves as such. Police nationalism allows them to fetishize force as "law" and relieves them of having to think about what law is.
RT @JeffSharlet: Police nationalists, like the civilian creator of the Blue Lives Matter flag, are mostly *not* law enforcement. Rather, they're people who form an identity, a sense of themselves, *through* fantasizing punishment for others. Hence the popularity of the Punisher motif. https://t.co/vCjRUI7Igq
RT @JeffSharlet: Growing dominance of "Blue Lives Matter" flag w/in Trumpism suggests a formation close to but not identical w/ both white nationalism & police state: I'll call it "police nationalism." Identity founded on fetishization of an explicitly brutal & implicitly racist idea of policing.
RT @JeffSharlet: First the black, white & blue anti-Black Lives Matter flag flew outside of Trump rallies, then on stage, next to the US flag; in Wisconsin last week it replaced the US flag behind Trump; now the American flag, with all its complications, is just gone, & a fascist banner waves. https://t.co/kJC0V06OqY

RT @mehdirhasan: John Bolton: "This is really about as low as it gets. The fact is that Hillary Clinton...took the MEK off the U.S. list of terrorist organizations" Me: "She took them off in 2012, you were speaking with them in 2010 when they were still a banned group." https://t.co/9q9PzZDoid
RT @ScottHech: Meet Cassandra Greer-Lee. Public school teacher. Fierce advocate. In March, her husband was caged in Chicago jail. Strong, but terrified of the COVID outbreak there. “Is anyone surviving this?” She called *132 times* to try to get help. Soap. Masks. Anything. No response. More: https://t.co/1cgRitI48F
RT @mehdirhasan: Me: "All those innocent Iraqi civilians. All the men and women, children killed by U.S. airstrikes. Some in massacres...None of those weigh on your conscience? None of those keep you up at night?" John Bolton: "You don't know what you're talking about." https://t.co/nSMmZGg1cJ
RT @TheNorthStar: “On This Day” is The North Star’s series that highlights important moments in history. 56 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent resistance to racial prejudice in America. https://t.co/DtQ9MdbYqc
RT @ScottHech: Thinking about Cassandra. She called a Chicago jail *132 times* to try to save her husband from COVID. She was ignored. While Trump downplays COVID & chooses not to protect himself & others, her husband had no choice. No mask. Soap. Crowded. He died. Watch:https://t.co/HXmXrt89UW
RT @BernieSanders: The Senate should be passing a strong stimulus package. The Senate should be ensuring we have a free and fair election. The Senate should be addressing climate change. The Senate should NOT be dealing with a nomination that will literally be voted on days before the election. https://t.co/kbgDm8nQ3b

RT @TahanieNYC: It was an honor to be a part of @Gothamist @WNYC's DA Candidate forum this evening hosted by @georgejoseph94. A reminder of how high the stakes are in creating fundamental change within the Manhattan DAs office. Join our movement!https://t.co/mrnq6S5gMG
RT @Noah__Goldberg: NEW: Salih Abdullah, 74, hoped to leave his 14th parole board hearing a free man. Instead, he left in a coffin. Imprisoned 47 years for a 1973 hostage situation that ended with a cop dead and two others injured, Abdullah came so close to getting out. https://t.co/5TyKVujMTS
RT @theappeal: In Maricopa County, Arizona, a bipartisan majority of voters—71% of Democrats and 51% of Republicans—say they want a county attorney who won’t prosecute women for seeking an abortion if the Republican-controlled Supreme Court overturns Roe v.

RT @kai_newkirk: By their own rule, the GOP's SCOTUS nomination is illegitimate. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are in desperate need. Nothing should move in the Senate but a massive COVID relief bill. Dems must use every tool to delay this nomination & shut down all non-COVID relief business.
RT @Siobhan_ODowd: @shaunking @Everlean_R Can’t imagine anyone in Ireland waiting 6 hours to vote, huge respect for all there in that line. Can’t imagine a situation either that would require anyone in Irl to wait 6 hours in line , unless the polling station went on fire or something

I’m a lifelong MJ fan, but seeing LeBron take 3 teams to 10 NBA Finals is just amazing. 4 titles. Most points. Most games. Most minutes. This one is special. It’s true that Jordan was 6 for 6. But 9 seasons he didn’t even make it to the finals.

RT @JamesOfsink: Kicking off the virtual rally in support for Real Police Accountability @yeson26217! @shaunking telling the crowd that Portland is one of 5 or 6 cities in the US that are at the forefront of making the changes necessary to end mass incarceration. https://t.co/lPW9CLiHzk https://t.co/IG7Sw9Dmcq
RT @AttorneyCrump: Nevan Baker was found HANGING from a tree in Orlando. @OrlandoPolice quickly ruled his death a suicide but now we learn his hands were tied, teeth missing and face bruised.

During the pandemic, Amazon raised prices on essential items up to 1,000%, while Jeff Bezos ⬆️'d his wealth by $89 billion Gilead's CEO became a billionaire by charging $1,000 for a Hep C drug that cost $1 to make and can be purchased in India for $4 https://t.co/aPeNgg2ir7

RT @ashtonpittman: NEW: Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith says Republicans are "coming guns loaded" and "packed" to fight any Democratic efforts to delay Amy Coney Barrett's hearings. The violent metaphor comes two years after a "public hanging" quip nearly derailed her last campaign. https://t.co/dmYQzccYAQ
RT @GunnelsWarren: Do you need any more motivation than this? Inject this into your veins. Graham wants to provide h-u-g-e tax breaks to billionaires and make massive cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Bernie would do the exact opposite. Yep. Elections do have consequences - big time. https://t.co/GcpPfXDP05
RT @reason: According to newly released transcripts of interviews with Louisville police officers, they knew a month before they invaded Breonna Taylor's home that the "suspicious packages" that supposedly justified the raid came from Amazon. https://t.co/3JMtZK4Fcm
RT @BernieSanders: The victories we accomplish in this election will lay the groundwork for the future of our political revolution. That is why I am endorsing dozens of down-ballot candidates across the country today. Let’s elect them and get to work. https://t.co/6BEQc3hlAb

RT @TheNorthStar: Although there is a clear separation of church and state in America’s government, discrimination against different religions persists. Muslim Americans have been the targets of Islamophobia, violence and even voter suppression. From @nrojas0131 https://t.co/dwNMLDuB2c
RT @JeffreyToobin: Just so it's clear. @realDonaldTrump today called for @BarackObama and @JoeBiden to be indicted and prosecuted. Have our standards fallen so far that this kind of antidemocratic authoritarian behavior passes without criticism? Is this now normal?
RT @donie: #BREAK Facebook is cooperating with the FBI’s investigation into an alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the company says. Federal criminal complaint details how the suspects had used Facebook, including a private Facebook group, to discuss the alleged plot.

RT @dctello: Jaynes is likely part of the ongoing FBI investigation. The PIU file released today shows the day after his interview with investigators, officers sought records from his computer. Did he know his activity was suspect? "Employee may have suspicions," the investigator wrote. https://t.co/3P3xVZW3AJ
RT @dctello: In a PIU interview — the first time the public has heard Jaynes' account — he said he asked Sgt. Mattingly to check because of his work with the airport unit. Asked if he meant to mislead the judge, he said, "No, not at all," but noted he could've worded it "differently." https://t.co/h6gimuEuLB
