Is Trump Pushing It Too Far With Social Media?
Donald Trump Tweets That The Gentleman Who Was Pushed Over by the Police 'Could Be' an ANTIFA Protestor
President Donald Trump made waves when he posted up an incendiary Tweet saying that Martin Gugino, a protestor pushed down by police causing him to hit his head and being bleeding, "could be an ANTIFA provocateur.
Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?

What does it matter if he was? Does that make the improper use of force by the police somehow acceptable? This is the issue we see, folks: by calling ANTIFA a domestic terrorist organization, you can now begin to label certain individuals as "enemy combatants." Thus, those who may not be part of ANTIFA can still be labeled and treated as such. This is a dangerous step considering just how divisive President Trump can be.
Let's be honest - the #TrumpCult loves how divisive he is. Needless Tweets like this do not seek to bridge the divide between a hurting nation who needs someone to spearhead a movement of unity and love. That may sound like a nice, fluffy, liberal unicorn to some but in actuality, it's a Christian idea to love your enemies. Social media may not be the best place to air your grievances when you are leading the free world.

"We are very much interested in the automated tracking of students," Michael Sawyers, the district superintendent for New Albany-Plain Schools, told Wired. Sawyers reportedly believes that the technology will enable school officials to determine if social distancing practices are being followed and pinpoint at-risk individuals should someone in the district test positive for the virus.
In addition to the tracking technology, the school district will reportedly employ traditional safety measures such as regular temperature checks, face masks, and strategic social distancing.

Christian hip-hop artist Shai Linne opened up at The Gospel Coalition about how he's dealing with the George Floyd incident. In a stirring letter, originally written for a white Christian sister, Shai advises that when black people see George Floyd-like incidents it isn't just that one occurrence; it's the whole package which comes along with it:
