The final debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden will not include foreign policy as a topic, a decision for which the president’s campaign has slammed the commission, especially after the recent Hunter Biden allegations. “Good morning to everyone except Presidential Debate Commission members who changed focus of final debate away from foreign policy,” the Trump campaign’s senior adviser Jason Miller tweeted on Monday morning. Miller theorized the topics were steered away from foreign policy “so Joe Biden wouldn’t have to answer to being compromised by the Chinese Communist Party, supporting endless wars and sending pallets of cash to Iran.” Good […]

The southeastern Wisconsin city of Kenosha braces for a third night of unrest as arsonists set fire to buildings and cars in the city, while rioters loot businesses in a predominantly black district, following the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake, an African American man. Even though Blake survived, he is now paralysed from the waist down after being repeatedly shot in the back on Sunday. […]
Another night of rioting and vandalism has rocked Kenosha, Wisconsin, with protesters seen setting stores and cars ablaze and clashing with the National Guard and police, who used crowd control weapons against violent rioters. Neither the deployment of the National Guard, nor the curfew that took effect at 8 pm on Monday evening deterred protesters, some of them toting guns, from taking to the streets of Kenosha for the second night in a row. HOLY SH*#: while interviewing this #BLM rioter in Kinosha he pulls out a real pistol and points it at my camera while explaining what we would do […]
As Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden moves to win over never-Trump Republicans while attempting to hold onto the loyalty of left-wing Democrats that supported social democrat Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), some of the party’s more progressive elements are looking to form their own party. Just a few weeks after the end of the Democratic National Convention and just days after their Republican counterpart, two former competitors to Biden and his vice-presidential running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), will join up with other disaffected figures in the party’s left wing to make the case for forming a new third party to push […]

Amnesty International’s latest report details that it has logged at least 125 separate cases of police violence against US residents within two weeks of the Memorial Day killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Officers across the nation were accused by Amnesty on Tuesday of violating the human rights of peaceful protesters, bystanders and members of the press 125 times between May 26 and June 5. According to the international human rights organization, these incidents occurred in 40 US states and the US capital of Washington, DC, while demonstrators were mourning the killing of Floyd, whose death has since been declared […]
Fans of Leeds United celebrated wildly to mark their team’s promotion to the Premier League. But the aftermath was far from pretty, as residents of the English city woke up to mountains of rubbish on Monday morning. The streets of the Yorkshire town were littered with a truly extraordinary amount of trash, leaving council workers with a mammoth clean-up operation. Thousands of beer bottles and cans were strewn around Millennium Square in the city center along with heaps of food packaging and other waste. It comes after the storied local football club secured its return to the top flight of English […]

More than 1,400 researchers have signed a letter calling on the discipline to stop working on predictive-policing algorithms and other models.

A group of mathematicians in the United States has written a letter calling for […]
US President Donald Trump has argued the violent Black Lives Matter rallies that blossomed across the country following the death of African American George Floyd in police custody and which include looting and pillaging, are being led by Antifa, and pledged to designate it as a terrorist organisation, making it illegal on American soil. Sweden Democrat MP Björn Söder has in a written question to Interior Minister Mikael Damberg asked whether the Swedish government intends to list the radical left-wing organisation Antifa (AFA) as terrorists. The Sweden Democrat politician pointed out that the Antifa network, whose overarching goal is to abolish […]
The suicide of a 20-year-old Robinhood trader should be a wake-up call for cryptocurrency exchanges that put revenue above customer protection, said a U.S. exec at one of the world’s largest such venues. Many exchanges were designed to encourage users to trade as frequently as possible, often with money they don’t have, and resembled casinos more than responsible trading platforms, said Joel Edgerton, chief operating officer at bitFlyer U.S. “There are too many exchanges that are run like casinos and exploit their customers,” he said. Edgerton spoke to CoinDesk just over a week after a 20-year-old student, Alexander Kearns, killed himself […]
What did we just watch?

Minneapolis has officially voted to abolish the existing policing system in favor of a ‘public safety’ model. Hailed as transformative in the wake of protests, the suggestion is still vague on details. A resolution jointly co-authored unanimously approved by all 12 city council members acknowledged that “no amount of reforms will prevent lethal violence and abuse by some members of the Police Department,” thus virtually declaring the police itself unreformable. It went on to declare the council’s intent to create a new “transformative” model of public safety through “community engagement, research, and structural change.” Yet, the document itself was conspicuously scant […]
Hundreds of people including some political leaders and police officers were among the mourners who attended David Dorn’s public visitation at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church on Taylor Avenue today.

Following George Floyd’s death, US sport is rumbling toward an increasingly inevitable row about how his memory should be honored. When they do finally emerge from their coronavirus-enforced hiatus in the coming weeks and months, major US leagues will not only have to play a careful game with ensuring safety measures keep the deadly virus at bay. After the death of Floyd in Minneapolis and ensuing unrest, they will now have to contend with a delicate balancing act over how and when players protest in his honor. The distressing imagery of Floyd’s death at the knee of a police officer was […]
De-globalizing the world economy and blaming China for the current viral outbreak is the opposite of what needs to be done to ensure humanity is prepared for future pandemics, Beijing has argued in a white paper on Covid-19. “Covid-19 is changing the form but not the general trend of economic globalization. Decoupling, erecting walls and deglobalization may divide the world, but will not do any good to those who themselves are engaged in these acts,” China warned in the 65-page document detailing its response to the coronavirus, which was published on Sunday. The white paper was issued by the State Council […]
On 1 June US President Donald Trump said he would mobilize “all federal resources, civilian and military”, to quell protests against police brutality raging across America after the death of black man George Floyd, urging state governors to deploy the National Guard in great numbers to “dominate the streets.” US President Donald Trump wanted to deploy 10,000 troops to control protests in Washington, D.C., this week, according to officials familiar with the matter, cited by The Washington Post and CBS News. “We need to get control of the streets. We need 10,000 troops up here [in Washington]. I want it right […]
This is CNN. Tim Wise, a radical left-wing activist, proposed abusing white children in the wake of George Floyd’s death during an appearance on CNN Thursday. “I think that the important thing for white parents to keep in the front of our mind is that if black children in this country are not allowed innocence and childhood without fear of being killed by police or marginalized in some other way, then our children don’t deserve innocence,” Wise said. “If Tamir Rice can be shot dead in the public park playing with a toy gun, something white children do all over this […]
Twetch positions itself as an alternative to the platform it was deplatformed from, actively marketing itself against the San Francisco firm run by Bitcoin enthusiast Jack Dorsey.

In fact, Twetch posted a meme aimed at Dorsey for censoring conversations on the platform mere hours before its account was suspended. In the meantime, Twetch has launched an alternative account and will appeal the decision.
