RSN: FOCUS: Black Lives Matter Is More Popular Than Donald Trump

If say an earthquake hit RSN, and RSN needed to be dug out of the rubble I have no doubt that a lot of people would donate to dig RSN out. It’s the standard response to a “disaster.”

What would you give to help RSN continue to serve the community … unencumbered by rubble?

Don’t wait for the situation to become disastrous to help out. Now is the best time.

FOCUS: Black Lives Matter Is More Popular Than Donald Trump

Savage writes: "National support for Black Lives Matter has soared - while President Donald Trump's approval rating has plunged ten points in a single month. The movement for racial justice is more popular than Trump's presidency."


EXCERPT:
According to research published by the Urban Institute, state and local expenditure on police and policing has been ballooning for decades — vastly outpacing population growth by a margin of three to one. While liberal politicians (and most recently Barack Obama) have largely responded to the current wave of protests with familiar calls for new training protocols and racial bias training, Minneapolis already had in place many of the measures currently being put on the table at the time of George Floyd’s murder.
