Saw that.

Dangerous conspiracy theory that evolved into a cult in the shadow of everything Trump says and does is right and any criticism of it is invalid.
 
Lol Trump's campaign looking to hire minority actors to hold signs for his campaign rally in Tulsa.

So desperate.

**EDIT** As this is unproven it is probably FAKE NEWS and therefore I apologise for disseminating unproven claims.

The part about it being applied towards community service in lieu of payment is especially gross. Maybe they should offer to pay in 40 ounce bottles of malt liquor while they're at it
 
The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

This isn’t the first time a mysterious ad for pro-Trump actors has popped up online. In 2017, around a rally the president held in Phoenix, a similar advertisement soliciting actors to hold pro-Trump signs and cheer on command was shared on the internet.

Another ad in October 2018 claimed to solicit paid attendees to a Trump rally in Erie, Pa. But fact-checking website Snopes found that the advertisement was not associated with the president, or any Trump-related organizations, but rather "to a man named Mike Oles, who appeared to have connections to left-leaning activist groups including one called Good Jobs Nation." Good Jobs Nation was apparently planning a demonstration at the same rally.

You *can* learn history from statues!

Why, just today I learned of a statue New Yorkers tore down in 1776.

Pulling down the Statue of King George III

After a public reading of the Declaration of Independence at Bowling Green, on July 9, 1776, New Yorkers pulled down the statue of King George III. Parts of the statue were reportedly melted down and used for bullets.

Supreme Court says federal law protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination

Federal civil rights law protects gay, lesbian and transgender workers, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.

Washington (CNN) - Federal civil rights law protects gay, lesbian and trangender workers, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.


The landmark ruling will extend protections to millions of workers nationwide and is a defeat for the Trump administration, which argued that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act that bars discrimination based on sex did not extend to claims of gender identity and sexual orientation.

“Totally predictable”: State reopenings have backfired
“We managed to disrupt our economy [and] skyrocket unemployment, and we didn’t control the damn virus,” one scientist says.

Many states opened up in early May, hoping the economy would recover while a winning battle against Covid-19 continued apace.

Unfortunately, it’s now clear that in the areas where the virus has come roaring back, few gains against it were made in the last month.

In Arizona, nursing and long-term care facilities are still hotbeds of transmission. “In Arizona, one in three nursing homes has had a case of Covid-19,” Vox’s Umair Irfan previously reported.

Most concerning, Cobey said, is the increased hospitalization rates in these states — a reminder that the virus can be very severe and deadly for some, and that deaths could also start climbing soon. “It’s a lagging signal, so what it’s really telling us is how transmission rates were changing closer to two weeks ago,” Cobey added. “This implies that unless behavior — the primary driver of transmission — has changed in the meantime, the situation will continue to worsen for another few weeks.”

Supreme Court won't hear challenge to California sanctuary law


The Supreme Court on Monday left in place a lower court opinion upholding one of California's so-called sanctuary laws that limits cooperation between law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, a measure that the Trump administration says is meant to "undermine" federal immigration enforcement.

The Trump administration had asked the court to step in and review the law and the court declined to do so.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, two of the Court's conservative members, supported taking up the case.
The law -- and others like it -- have ignited a firestorm between the federal government, which has made immigration enforcement a top priority, and some states that say they are within their rights to determine how best to use their own resources.

During his State of the Union speech last January, President Donald Trump lamented California's effort, which he classified as an "outrageous law."
