Friend,
It’s been more than a week since the shooting of Jacob Blake and the murder of two protestors by a right-wing extremist.
And despite local outcries, Donald Trump visited Kenosha, Wisconsin -- not to pay his respects to their families, but to secure a photo-op.
Before leaving for Wisconsin, Trump defended Kyle Rittenhouse -- and once he arrived in Kenosha, he described the damage to property as “domestic terrorism.”
You read that right. He defended a murderer, and then compared small acts of vandalism to “terrorism.” Donald Trump is shameless. So we wrote him an open letter, letting him know exactly how we feel.

It’s been more than a week since the shooting of Jacob Blake and the death of two protestors in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
But instead of paying your respects to their families, you’re more concerned about defending the murderers responsible for their deaths.
You are a disgrace. Your Presidency is a bloody stain on our history.
Your blatant disregard for Black life is appalling -- and it has no place in our democracy.
We can admit: 2020 has been rough on all of us.
But with every decision and every responsibility, you manage to disappoint us -- the American people -- more each time.
Your leadership -- or lack thereof -- has left this country and its citizens to fend for themselves.
The past several months haven’t been easy -- but they have solidified the grassroots movement taking over the nation.
Now, together, stronger than ever, we’re going to take back the power. And we can’t wait to vote you out in November.
Enjoy the next few months in the White House. They’ll be your last.
-- The Progressive List
