A divisive 4th of July like never before
So while Trump's looking for the most spectacular way to drive home his tone-deaf bias and disregard by holding an extravaganza at the foot to Mt. Rushmore, he's also got some holiday weekend plans brewing elsewhere:
[quote] As President Donald Trump ramps up his hard-line rhetoric against protesters, The Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday it is launching rapid deployment teams to federal monuments over the Fourth of July weekend.
The effort comes in the wake of nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody in May -- many of which have targeted Confederate and other statues and monuments. [/quote]
Because statues. That's the great American Crisis at the moment. No relief or assistance for a pandemic that's suffocating this country, no addressing militarized police forces where racists bullies are free to hide, no dealing with social inequities. Statues.
I have never so fervently prayed for Autumn.
