Turned off Iggy for a few minutes,  found "brothers" & "white guys"  -- remember why Iggy is useful here.   Decreases your stress cardiomyopathy from lingering covid-19.  And inflammation!

Let's go!!!!!!!

Keep marching.

Better laws.

Better symbols.

Better leaders.

Better distribution of wealth, power, opportunity, and privilege.

Keep marching toward a more perfect union.

Folks will be out again tonight (outdoors in masks) working for justice.

Federal pig thugs are cancelled in that equation by state and local leadership.

John Lewis returned to Selma this week, in a coffin, and went across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.  The bridge was named  for a confederacy hero and a founder of the KKK. Lewis’s 1960’s era March over that bridge demonstrating for equal rights nearly got  him killed.
Since then there have been thousands of calls to rename the bridge.
But Lewis disagreed and made his feelings known in a well-remembered op-Ed a few years ago.

As Amer­i­cans we need to learn the un­var­nished truth about what hap­pened in Selma.
Keep­ing the name of the Bridge is not an en­dorse­ment of the man who bears its name. The Ed­mund Pet­tus name rep­re­sents the truth of the Amer­i­can story. You can change the name but you can­not change the facts of his­tory.

Lewis was a giant in non-violent protesting for civil rights.
And no symbol of his legacy was more powerful than his last trip to  Selma and across the bridge still named The Edmund Pettus Bridge.
It’s a lesson today’s rioters never learned.
And probably never will.

Today's rioters want civil rights...the rights to do whatever they like.
They must be told no.

But here's the problem with this solicitation found on Yahoo. It says, "Retake".

Yep, just like in Hudson County, NJ, you can vote early and vote often!

If I were an American citizen in America I'd vote for Biden.

"The deranged left is 'blaming Trump' for Coronavirus."

But there is no evidence, just an inane claim.

"The deranged right is "blaming the left" for blaming Trump, but with no basis."

And Jesus, Bambi, don't you understand that by using the single quote marks, 'blaming Trump' is marked off to suggest that it is not literally true?!

"The deranged left is 'blaming Trump' for Coronavirus."

The same nimrod piece says "The radical left in America are hoping for a “mass coronavirus catastrophe” in order to prove President Donald Trump is not fit for office, according to Sky News host James M"

This is deranged, the same way Kid Carter 1/8th is deranged. NOBODY wants that, except maybe Trump. And I doubt even he is nearly that specific unless he can choose who it is who is dying.

We HAVE a "mass coronavirus catastrophe," and the only jerks who think we want it are folks like the Kid, here, and your press and dolts like that who think we work the way they work.

It’s the right wing’s way of saying that they, the right, blame trump for Corona Virus.

Good point.

The bridge should be known as the John Lewis Walked over Edmund Pettus to a Better Future Bridge.

There’s been some important history since the bridge was first named, though some are in denial about most of it.

But seeing as how I'm not an American citizen in America...atm I'm hoping Trump wins (Republicans are crazy not agreeing to postpone the election)...as I believe he's my best chance of self defence against China.

Democrats are a big tent party. Republicans are a white sheet party.

'Karen' for White women.

Qld teens test positive to COVID-19 after shoplifting heist in Vic

Two teenagers who tested positive to COVID-19 in Queensland allegedly travelled to Melbourne earlier this month to steal designer handbags.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk confirmed three new cases of coronavirus in the state yesterday, including the two 19-year-old girls and one of the girls’ sisters.
Premier Palaszczuk said she was “absolutely furious” about the new coronavirus cases, which are the first recorded outside of hotel quarantine since May.

The Premier also revealed the pair - Olivia Winnie Muranga and Diana Lasu - were wanted by Victoria Police for allegedly stealing handbags from luxury stores during their trip to Melbourne.

The pair has also been fined $4000 each for falsifying their state border declaration forms by failing to declare their visit to Victoria.

The girls were only confirmed to have the virus eight days after their return to the Sunshine State, meaning they went about life as normal, potentially infecting thousands.
Health authorities have closed two schools, including Parklands Christian College where one of the girls worked as a cleaner, and six restaurants and bars across Brisbane.

On A Current Affair last night the women were featured in a segment.
Their brother was heard by phone...to seemingly be saying "you should not have identified them", "you're only picking on them because they're Black".
