"The document, obtained by NBC News, told DHS officials to describe Rittenhouse’s actions in terms that emphasized legal presumption of innocence. One of the talking points, for example, suggested that Rittenhouse “took his rifle to the scene of the rioting to help defend small business owners.”"
"Officials were also instructed to describe the teenager’s actions as a matter of self-defense, and that he had traveled across state lines to promote “law and order” — a phrase that is frequently used by President Trump in his reelection campaign rhetoric."

Some rough guidelines for speaking to one another in an
organizing space with no hierarchy:
[Forwarded from SOS]
• Always ask. Instead of saying “do this,” or “I need this,” ask “can you do this?” or “does anyone have this?”
• Welcome newcomers openly, and treat them as equals immediately. It’s helpful for a group to have a protocol (that is subject to change) for getting new folks caught up on the basics
o This can be hard when trusted bonds have formed. Work to shut down your own in-group/out-group dynamic within the group. Work to shut down any and all egoism within yourself. Lean on people who are honest with you
o At the same time, the new person shouldn’t join your affinity group necessarily. Trust there is sacred. But welcome them into the larger collective with open arms, and help catch them up.
• Assume the best. If someone is admitted into a trusted space, assume the folks admitting them (who you trust) are making a reasonable decision. The state wants us scared and not trustful. Trusting our friends and comrades, while still taking necessary precautions, is vital to victory.
• Have a transformative justice procedure if trust is violated, or even if disrespect crops up too much. Don’t look to punish, but instead to help one another grow. We’re all we got in this struggle.

#Louisville If you missed all the details, Kentucky AG on the Breonna Taylor case admitted he never gave the Grand Jury the option to charge the police with murder. A Grand Jury member sued to be able to release that information. If there will be no justice, there will be no peace!
