The driver's union, ATU Local 1005, issued a statement of solidarity on Thursday, with some of its drivers going as far as to refuse to use their buses to help law enforcement transport protesters to jail. "As a transit worker and union member, I refuse to transport my class and radical youth," one Minneapolis bus driver, Adam Burch, told the labor publication Payday. "An injury to one is an injury to all. The police murdered George Floyd and the protest against is completely justified and should continue until their demands are met." The union shared Burch's sentiment. "This system has failed all of us in the working class, from the coronavirus to the economic crisis we are facing," their statement read. "But the system has failed people of color and black Americans and black youth more than anyone else." The union added:…

White House doubles down on Trump's tweet that Twitter said glorified violence

The White House is doubling down on a tweet from President Trump even after the platform determined it violated its rules against glorifying violence. The official White House Twitter account on Friday morning re-upped a late night tweet from Trump that was slapped with a warning label because it violated Twitter's rules. Trump had weighed in on the protests in Minneapolis over the police killing of George Floyd by writing that "these THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd" and that "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." The tweet is now accompanied by a label saying it "violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence," and users have to click the label to see the tweet. But then on Friday, the White House Twitter account just re-posted the exact same tweet, quoting it to make the message visible without the label. Within about an hour, Twitter added the warning label to the White House's tweet as well. “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen.…
