Calls for St. Louis Mayor’s Resignation Intensify After She Doxxed Black Lives Matter Protesters on Facebook Live

Colin Kalmbacher Jun 27th, 2020, 5:26 pm


St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson is facing massive backlash–including a rising chorus of calls for her resignation–after she read aloud the names and addresses of citizens who had advocated for defunding the city’s police department.

The names and addresses were read during a Facebook Live briefing held by the Democratic Party mayor on Friday evening. Black Lives Matter protesters previously submitted their suggestions for potential city budgets with various social services bolstered by decreased police department spending.

Noted St. Louis civil rights activist Ohun Ashe brought attention to the incident via Twitter.

“St. Louis mayor [Lyda Krewson] just went live telling the full names [and] addresses of people wanting to defund the police [and] where they want the money to go,” Ashe wrote. “Yall [sic] she just put a hit out on people. This is a sick and twisted abuse of power and political terrorism.” Police accountability group Cop Watch shared Ashe’s post.

A petition on Change.org calling for Krewson to resign quickly appeared in response to the doxxing scandal. As of this writing, the petition has amassed nearly 24,000 signatures–just shy of organizer Maxi Glamour‘s initial 25,000-signature goal..............................

Trump is golfing today. He attacked Obama for golfing when there were just two Ebola cases in the US

It is mild to say Trump is a hypocrite.

Trump is golfing today. He attacked Obama for golfing when there were just two Ebola cases in the US —among the many other times. A round up:

3 Die in New Mexico After Drinking Hand Sanitizer, Officials Say

Source: nytimes





June 26, 2020 Updated 8:31 p.m. ET

Three people have died, three are in critical condition, and one is permanently blind after ingesting hand sanitizer that contained methanol, the New Mexico Department of Health announced Friday.
.........................

A spokesman from the Health Department said the cases were related to alcoholism, noting that hand sanitizer is sometimes consumed for its high alcohol content.

The announcement came a week after the Food and Drug Administration warned consumers against buying nine sanitizer products manufactured in Mexico because they contain methanol, which can be toxic if absorbed through the skin or ingested.


.................

Hand sanitizer usually contains ethanol or isopropyl alcohol, Dr. Warrick said, but is toxic when it contains methanol..........................................

I think sanitizers with methanol should be taken off the market.

President Trump

The White House said Wednesday that President Donald Trump will not change his plan to travel to New Jersey this weekend despite a new order by the governor requiring visitors who have been in states with high numbers of coronavirus cases to quarantine for 14 days.

“The president of the United States is not a civilian,” White House spokesman Judd Deere said when asked about Trump’s compliance with the quarantine order given his travel Tuesday to Arizona, which has seen a rise in the rate of its Covid-19 cases.

“Anyone who is in close proximity to him, including staff, guests and press are tested for COVID-19 and confirmed to be negative,” Deere said in a statement.

“With regard to Arizona, the White House followed its COVID mitigation plan to ensure the president did not come into contact with anyone who was symptomatic or had not been tested,” the spokesman added...............

People who signed up for ACA was UP 46% but yesterday Trump was in SC demanding Repeal

of the entire ACA including #preexisting conditions!!




https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1276554070321479682?s=20





Trump just asked the Supreme Court to invalidate the ACA in its entirety. He is trying to take away your healthcare. Right now. In the middle of a pandemic. Where 125,000 Americans have died-- due to his OWN incompetence.

Apparently that's not enough.

Replying to
@TheRickWilson
AXIOS: “The number of people who lost jobs, then signed up for Affordable Care Act plans on the federal website, is up 46% this year over last — an increase of 154,000 people....”
So, WHY go after the ACA NOW? Because Trump is that cruel, thoughtless & unpresidential.
