Protesters and cops joined together in Indy to march. Other places in USA police took a knee to express support for the protests. In D.C., trump used a bible as a prop and a church as back-drop to foment hatred. 1/11

Evidence that those who carried out violence acted to discredit the protests: no trump properties were attacked. And hey - they’re easily recognized, what with his name in big letters on each building he erects. (Thx to Aunt Crabby) 2/11

Mayor Hogsett yesterday announced measures to calm the situation in Indianapolis. Some were similar to what I suggested a couple of hours earlier. Citizen oversight of police and ways to address injustice, not new spiffy weapons against protesters. 3/11

The more we learn, the clearer it becomes: violence during protests is instigated by those who seek to discredit the protests. The protesters have conducted themselves peacefully. 4/11

It takes patience and brains to work with other people to resolve problems that have existed for centuries, but any dumbass can wave a flag and use it as a club to fracture the skull of someone chosen at random. 5/11

If you believe trump & those who venerate him are a menace to our country, that we need to build rather than break down, and that we need to blot bigotry and ignorance from the GOP, please vote for me. 6/11

This president has cost tens of thousands of lives through his bungling of COVID. He has acted as if the protests that arose from a racist murder of an African American man are a war and our People are on the side of the enemy. 7/11

We cannot allow forces of hatred to remain in control of the Indiana GOP - a not-for-profit corporation. We need to stage a hostile takeover. If we don’t we cede half the playing field automatically. 8/11
