It’s wild that there are 6 stickied posts about police/ white supremacists attacking Black people. And 5 of them were murdered. And the number of innocents killed has only gone up since the protesting started.

The Coronavirus shutdowns was the perfect gas for this fire. There are no distractions. We’ve watched all the Netflix. And even worse we all started watching the news. Bread and circus is real and as soon as it was taken away this country exploded.

At least one Donald Trump fan believes the president’s fiery speech was pure nirvana.

Krist Novoselic, the former bassist of seminal grunge band Nirvana, praised the commander in chief for his Monday speech in which he vowed to deploy the military in a stern crackdown against protesters.

“I know many of you can’t stand him, however, Trump knocked it out of the park with this speech,” said Novoselic in a now-hidden Facebook message. “I agree, the president should not be sending troops into states — and he legally might not be able to anyway — nevertheless, his tone in this speech is strong and direct.”

More troublingly, the 55-year-old musician referred to violence in the wake of George Floyd’s death as a “leftist insurrection.”

“Imagine if so-called ‘patriot militias’ were raising this kind of hell?” Novoselic mused. “If this were the case, left-wing people would welcome federal intervention.”

Friday night, Trump was escorted to an underground bunker as protests escalated near the White House, reported CNN. Three days later, he addressed the nation during a brief speech in which he barely referenced Floyd’s death and ignored the issues of police brutality and institutional racism that impelled the protests in the first place.

National leaders have condemned Trump’s vitriolic speech.

New York Gov. Cuomo called Trump’s words “really, truly shameful” and California Sen. Kamala Harris said the speech was reminiscent of “the words of a dictator.”

Novoselic voted for neither Trump nor Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election; instead, throwing his support behind Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, according to NME.

White Instagram thots taking advantage

A woman was filmed posing in front of a damaged T-Mobile store in Santa Monica, California, on Monday, June 1, a day after protests and rioting were reported across the city.

“White women continue to disappoint. These protesters are not a content opportunity for you,” Nicole Baio, who filmed this video of the incident, wrote on Twitter. Baio can be heard in the video exclaiming the woman was “making her boyfriend take her picture in front of a smashed T-Mobile.”

Clean-up was underway on Monday, as business owners assessed damage from protests on Sunday night. Credit: Nicole Baio via Storyful
