In bad news: DOJ designates NYC as an "anarchist jurisdiction," which is weird because there sure are a lot of cops, Trump won't commit to "peaceful" post-election transfer of power (he's been threatening this since 2016), Don Jr. is unhinged and urging people to "enlist" into Trump's "army" of poll watchers, and Brett Hankison, the officer who killed Breonna Taylor, is charged with "wanton endangerment" for firing rounds into a neighbor's apartment—which means the only shots he will be held accountable for are the ones that didn't kill Breonna
