The last several days have seen one of the largest and sustained protest movements in recent American history. The murder of George Floyd was so disgusting and unconscionable, and the police killings of black people so frequent, that it felt like a dam had burst.

Our president, a racist with a staff full of white supremacists, openly called for the shooting of protesters and has behaved like a tin pot dictator trying to quell a popular revolution. GOP Senator Tom Cotton listed the army units that he thought should be deployed to kill the protestors. All with the backdrop of a pandemic that is killing thousands a day, mostly the same people that are regularly brutalized by the police.
