There is a simple truth that has been obvious to many of us since he put out a full-page ad for the lynching of innocent Black and brown boys: Donald Trump is a white supremacist.
It took nothing short of looting for white people to come to a land that wasn’t theirs and for them to install a government that allows white men to feel like they can rule in the first place.
White supremacy is in the water that has quenched the thirst of hatred across this land, and is too dirty for the people of Flint to let touch their lips.
White supremacy is in the virus-infected air we breathe that is killing Black people at three times the rate it kills white people.
That hatred allows other white supremacists to put the weight of their hatred on the necks of innocent Black men and allows them to rain down bullets onto beds of sleeping Black women.

By BEN FOX Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Earlier this month, President Donald Trump was predicting on Twitter that this election would be 'the most corrupt' in American history. A day later, the head of an obscure government agency he created offered a much different message. Christopher Krebs, the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, closed an online conference with a warning about 'bad guys, whoever they are,' trying to 'sow chaos, sow doubt' about the integrity of the U.S. election. 'I have confidence that your vote is secure, that state and local election officials across this country […]

LOS ANGELES — Businesses including gyms, museums, zoos, film studios and spectator-free sports arenas will be allowed to open in Los Angeles County beginning June 12, even as health officials warned again that the spread of COVID-19 is increasing in the county.
News of the business reopenings came as the county Department of Public Health confirmed 61 new coronavirus deaths.
That number, once averaging about three inthe county, had dropped to below one before health officials began relaxing its health orders and authorized more businesses in the county to reopen.
“As with all businesses that are permitted to reopen, the health officer order contains protocols for reopening to ensure that it’s done as safely as possible for employees, customers and residents,” Ferrer said.
Ferrer stressed that the reopening of more business sectors should not be seen as an indication the county is out of the woods in terms of the coronavirus pandemic, noting, “We’re still in the middle of the woods and we have a lot of risk.”
The Creoles of color are a historic ethnic group of Creole people in Louisiana (especially in the city of New Orleans), Southern Mississippi, Alabama, and Northwestern Florida.
Mixed-race Creoles of color became identified as a distinct ethnic group, Gens de couleur libres (free persons of color), prior to the 19th century. During Louisiana’s colonial period, Créole referred to people born in Louisiana who had ancestors from elsewhere; i.e., all natives other than Native Americans. The term Créole was first used by French colonists to distinguish themselves from foreign-born settlers, and later as distinct from Anglo-American settlers. Colonial documents show that the term Créole was used variously at different times to refer to white people, mixed-race people, and black people, including slaves.[1]
Many Creoles of color were free, and their descendants often enjoyed many of the same privileges that whites did, including (but not limited to) property ownership and formal education. During the antebellum period, their society was structured along class lines. While it was not illegal, it was a social taboo for Creoles of color to marry slaves and it was a rare occurrence. Some of the wealthier and prosperous Creoles of color owned slaves. Other Creoles of color such as Thomy Lafon used their social position to support the abolitionist cause. Another Creole of color, Francis E. Dumas, emancipated all of his slaves and organized them into a company in the Second Regiment of the Louisiana Native Guards.[2]
Some historians suggest that New Orleans was the cradle of the civil rights movement in the United States, due to the earliest efforts of Creoles to integrate the military en masse.[3] Creoles of Color had been members of the militia for decades under both Spanish and French control of the colony of Louisiana. For example, around 80 free Creoles of Color were recruited into the militia that participated in the Battle of Baton Rouge in 1779.[4] They volunteered their services and pledged their loyalty to their

In a fortnight the respective states will be counting ballots to determine the next President of the United States. Absurdly, we do not vote directly for the President but for electors who vote in the Electoral College on December 14, 2020, to crown the candidate who won a majority of Electoral votes, not necessarily a majority of the votes cast.
