Gee whiz, does anyone have any theories for what events or activities might've contributed to a COVID case spike in the San Francisco Bay Area, beginning around three weeks ago? I'm stumped
Remember, we were told that mass gathering in hyper-close proximity while screaming and chanting in one another's faces doesn't transmit the virus as of approximately June 1, 2020, so we'll have to find some other explanation for this spike
Scratching my head, can't figure it out... smh

I’m in Minneapolis. First place I stop, most of the block is still boarded up. This grocery and tobacco store is owned by an Iranian, neighbor tells me. “They took everything.” Owner is deliberating whether to permanently close after the riots Image
Just next door, a small Vietnamese music shop has been closed since the riots Image
Just down the street, a Malaysian restaurant is boarded up, but has resumed business. As has a Vietnamese sandwich shop, which just re-opened a few days ago. (I had a sandwich. Vegetarian duck? Was good) ImageImage

This protest movement is unintelligible unless you view it through the prism of state-backed religion spectator.us/black-lives-ma…
Forgot to mention this in the item, but another obvious hallmark of religious movements is a cannon of sacred texts. You can detect DiAngelo's influence in so much of protesters' rhetoric and behavior. Even at the more milquetoast suburban "protests," her book is required reading
It is often said that these demonstrations are about “human rights” rather than “politics,” as if the two are neatly separable categories, and as if overtly political demands are not being routinely made. This rationale is used to justify granting the demonstrations state backing

Did you know there were riots in Green Bay, WI? Rioters smashed the front window of this newsstand with a street sign and stole a bunch of merchandise (window has now been fixed.) Manager had to rush back in at 1am, says she can NEVER recall anything like that happening before
Post office was smashed. Windows were “very special,” worker tells me: irreplaceable and as old as the building itself, 60+ years
Riot apparently started here. Worker tells me somebody shot the ice machine (?) and smashed everything up, before stealing tobacco products, etc. Apparently for these smaller-town riots, it’s easier to get the windows replaced quickly
