MN Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan speaking on CNN now.

Asking people to stay home tonight so the people doing harm from outside the community can be identified and removed. She's pretty impressive - former organizer for the Native community. Knows her stuff. Followed by Amy Klobuchar, also talking about the people coming from outside the state to do harm.

1. She was amazing

First I've seen her and damn that was a fine speech/call out of the disruptors

2. Very interesting. It seems Trump and his Brownshirts are complicit.

It wouldn't even surprise if the whole thing has been choreographed... including the murder by the Trumper cop.

3. I don't think for a minute that the murder of Floyd was orchestrated.

It was just another racist murder by racist cops that have been happening all over the country forever. We don't even know for a fact if the cop was a Trumper, though it wouldn't surprise me (he's not the guy that was mistakenly identified with Trump on Twitter). But I have no doubt that there are Trump-loving white supremacists out setting stuff on fire as they pretend to be protesters, here and in the other cities.

4. You're right. I was riffing off into tinfoil land.

But it's clear Trump and the magats are trying to make the most of it
