Demonstrators targeted statues of Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln as they marched through downtown Portland on Sunday night. Footage shows a crowd cheering as the statue of Roosevelt mounted on a horse is pulled down. The statue was then covered in orange paint and “stolen land” and “murderer” were painted on the base of the sculpture. Roosevelt has been accused of supporting policies that […]

Ansu Fati, the 17-year-old who was formally made a senior player at Barcelona last week, has shown why the club included a whopping $468 million release fee clause in his new contract by sending their Liga season off to a flyer. The Spain sensation has made incredible progress since making his debut for the club last season, becoming the club’s youngest ever goal scorer just a week later and, in the months that followed, the youngest player ever to represent Barca in the Champions League and the European competition’s youngest ever goal scorer. While all eyes were on Lionel Messi following the […]
On Tuesday night, Avengers star Mark Ruffalo joined a socially distant version of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. After exchanging some light pleasantries, the two got down to business, discussing the shooting of Jacob Blake—by a police officer, seven times in the back; the ongoing protests and riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin; and Trump’s divisive rhetoric in the wake of it all. You see, the Oscar-nominated actor is perhaps the most famous living person from Kenosha—since Orson Welles is no longer with us—and as such, the unrest in the city hit close to home, literally. “These protests have been predominately peaceful.

Several hundred women gathered on the Independence Square of the Belarusian capital, ignoring calls to disperse. In a comment to Sputnik, police have confirmed the detentions but refrained from specifying the number. Belarus has been rocked by large-scale protests since the August 9 election, which saw President Alexander Lukashenko re-elected for a sixth term. The opposition rejected the outcome, claiming that Svetlana Tikhanovskaya won the […]

As nearby volunteers in reflective vests and medical-grade face masks swept broken glass and righted overturned trash cans in Wilmington, Delaware, earlier this summer, former Vice President Joe Biden promised to heal the pain of civil unrest sparked by racist violence. “We are a nation enraged, but we cannot allow our rage to consume us,” Biden vowed, one day after a night of protests and scattered vandalism in Wilmington, in reaction to the death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers in Minneapolis. It was Biden’s first major public appearance since the coronavirus pandemic sidelined his campaign for the […]
Fox News host Tucker Carlson once again engaged in some thinly veiled dog-whistling on Thursday night, insisting that Democrats are trying to “get out the vote” by funding “race riots” or offering “mentally ill homeless” people “free cigarettes.” Carlson, whose racist rhetoric and fear-mongering over Black Lives Matter has caused internal strife at Fox, kicked off Thursday’s broadcast of Tucker Carlson Tonight by saying the Democratic Party has always had problems turning out its voters. (Forty percent of the Democratic electorate is non-white, according to Pew Research.) “On average, Democratic voters are much less likely than Republicans to vote,” the conservative […]
In a piercing appraisal of the growing strife unraveling under President Donald Trump’s first term, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden accused him of stoking, and even starting, civil unrest that is proliferating across the country. Trump has been a “toxic presence in our nation for four years” who is “poisoning our very democracy,” Biden said forcefully in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The speech offered a moment of methodical, even urgent, messaging for Biden, who sought to cast the president as an unjust and dangerous leader who spews falsehoods in an effort to gain a political advantage. “This president long ago forfeited any moral […]
Here we go. It’s law and order week. And with the eyes of the nation fixed on Kenosha, Joe Biden is going to… southwestern Pennsylvania, to give a speech on why you aren’t safe in Donald Trump’s America. And Trump is going to Kenosha on Tuesday. So we confront one of the enduring questions of American presidential politics, which goes back to Richard Nixon’s time: Can the Republicans scare enough white people into thinking that their beautiful suburb is going to be taken over by Black criminals if the Democrat wins? Pretty much every liberal I know is terrified that the […]
Thousands of pro-opposition women marched and tried to breach a police cordon in central Minsk on Saturday while ‘motor rallies’ were held in support of President Alexander Lukashenko, as political turmoil continues in Belarus. The women were carrying flowers, white-red-white flags and white-red-white umbrellas, and chanting slogans such as “Shame!”, “We will not forget, we will not forgive!” and “Long live Belarus!” The protesters had planned to march along Independence Avenue, but minibuses blocked their way. Police warned the marchers that their action was unauthorized and called on the crowd not to disturb public order and to break up the gathering. […]

Destruction and rioting started back up in Minneapolis on Wednesday after false reports of a fatal police shooting which turned out to be a suicide. Police were approaching the man when he pulled out a gun and shot himself. Immediately, everyone blamed the police for his death, without bothering to wait for more information. In Minneapolis, a man killed himself. Someone spread a false rumor this was a police shooting. Some people opportunistically started rioting/lotting. In order to rebut the rumor, the Minneapolis PD released a Twitter video of his suicide. This is a bad time. — Zaid Jilani (@ZaidJilani) August […]

Riot police officers have arrested several Black Lives Matter protesters blocking roads in Lafayette, Louisiana, following a vigil for a man shot and killed by cops while resisting arrest and trying to “walk away.” Crowds of activists gathered on Saturday evening at the Shell gas station along Evangeline Thruway, where Trayford Pellerin, 31, was shot and killed Friday night. A group of protesters demanding justice soon spilled onto the road, blocking it with a human chain, and declaring that “nobody gets past this line!” Initially peaceful, some protesters reportedly pelted bottles and rocks at police cars, and faced off with a […]
Portland police have explained why it chose not to intervene in violent clashes between heavily armed right and left-wing groups, insisting they “willingly” engaged in physical interactions which “quickly resolved themselves.” Responding to criticism and questions about “why the events downtown were not declared a riot,” Portland police said the officers were heavily outnumbered and lacked crowd control resources to address such a massive gathering. Earlier on Saturday, hundreds of people belonging to multiple rival groups with “various ideologies” descended on Downtown Portland, while the police had only “roughly 30 officers available for crowd management.” As the groups clashed, police remained on […]

A group of protesters has sued the Seattle government, arguing that “unmitigated police violence” has imposed a monetary cost on their right to demonstrate freely, forcing them to buy expensive gear to safely confront the cops. Filed by five plaintiffs who took part in ongoing protests in Seattle, the suit seeks a temporary restraining order barring the city’s police department from wielding force and crowd control munitions on demonstrators, alleging heavy-handed police tactics have made “safe protest prohibitive,” as “one needs an exceptional amount of protective gear to enjoy that freedom.” Also on rt.com Seattle PD impound van full of ‘explosives, […]

Law enforcement officers have begun pushing protesters away from Portland’s federal courthouse after demonstrators pulled down a fence surrounding the building. Activists used wire cutters, power saws, and ropes to attack the fence on Saturday night and into the early hours of Sunday morning.

In perhaps what is a bellwether to other states and cities run by far left wackjobs who let terrorists run wild, the federal government has denied Minnesota governor Tim Walz’s request for funding to rebuild Minneapolis after the series of riots ravaged the once great city.

Many of these cities directed their police to stand down, giving way to the rioters to destroy whatever they wanted, loot whatever stores they wanted, and beat whomever they […]
