This is an extraordinary passage about an American president in the 21st century... the @washingtonpost on Trump’s open embrace of “white power”...
Also this quote from former US ambassador to South Africa @patrickgaspard — which rings with deep irony as Trump essentially solidifies the GOP as an American version of that country’s old National (or Nationalist) Party
One more quote, from @cornellbelcher:

I knew, because I regularly talked to people like @MalcolmNance @sarahkendzior @NaveedAJamali @mashagessen @tonyschwartz @DavidCayJ @TimOBrien and many more who knew what Trump was and what he aspires to be. Oh and @HillaryClinton knew. And she tried to tell y’all.
But far too many people either took a light view of Russia or of Trump himself or decided they didn’t like either candidate so why not take a chance on him or toss their votes to Jill Stein. But people knew. My uncle, who lived under Mobutu in Congo knew. He saw Mobutu in Trump.
I was blessed to interview the great Wayne Barrett before he died, and he knew. Magazine editors at The Economist warned Americans not to hand this country over to Trump because they knew. So many people knew it could and would be this bad, and were called paranoid or absurd.

The charges in ATL: Officer Roth:
Felony Murder
Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (3 counts) - maximum sentences life, life without parole or death penalty.
The DA also charging Roth with multiple aggravated assault counts for firing so recklessly, the bullets hit other cars. Also for not rendering timely medical aide and thus violating his oath to the state of Atlanta, and for kicking Rashad Brooks while he was dying.
AND THERE IS A PHOTO.
