tmpaf662f71-1ff8-450d-b32d-ab2b9d535f42-jpg

Garth Brooks new song, “We Belong Together,” was released on social media by Good Morning America host Robin Roberts.  After Garth appeared on Good Morning America, he sent the song to Robin with the option for her to “decide what you want to do with it.” Robin then shared the song with the world via her social channels.

“Me and Robin go way, way back,” says Garth. “She always asks about the music. Somebody’s got to hear it first, so I just asked her, ‘Would you like to be the first one to hear the new thing?’ And she was kinda caught off-guard. So, I sent it to her Sunday . . . all day Sunday, all day Monday she was texting back and forth with me . . . and I guess today she decided she was gonna share it with the world. It was totally up to her.”

Perry calls on the nation to use their ballot to help in the ”fight for justice and equality” for the black community after the death of unarmed black man George Floyd last month, which led to global protests.  Says Katy: ”I’m excited to be a part of this kick-off to ‘Democracy Summer 2020’ with so many amazing talents, activists and speakers.

President Trump Signs Executive Order On Police Reform

tmp682ad6f7-1f82-4b0b-8fb8-912020777f14-jpg

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that he said would encourage better police practices, this coming after weeks of national protests since the death of George Floyd.

Trump met privately with the families of several black Americans killed in interactions with police before his Rose Garden signing ceremony, and said he grieved for the lives lost and families devastated. He devoted most of his public remarks to a need to respect and support “the brave men and women in blue who police our streets and keep us safe,” characterizing the officers who have used excessive force as a “tiny” number of outliers among “trustworthy” police ranks.

“Reducing crime and raising standards are not opposite goals,” Trump said, flanked by police officials. Trump’s executive order would establish a database that tracks police officers with excessive use-of-force complaints in their records. Many officers who wind up involved in fatal incidents have long complaint histories. Those records are often not made public, making it difficult to know if an officer has such a history.

Google Bans Two News Sites From Ad Platform Due To Protest Coverage

tmp8008e43f-fcc3-45a1-a1a9-a8eea64c3986-jpg

The far-right news sites ZeroHedge and The Federalist will no longer be able to generate revenue from any advertisements served by Google Ads. The two sites were found to be in violation of  Google’s policies on content related to race when they pushed unsubstantiated claims about the Black Lives Matter protests sparked in recent weeks by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody on May 25.

“We have strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can run on and explicitly prohibit derogatory content that promotes hatred, intolerance, violence or discrimination based on race from monetizing,” a Google spokesperson said. “When a page or site violates our policies, we take action. In this case, we’ve removed both sites’ ability to monetize with Google.”  Both ZeroHedge and The Federalist were flagged for violations related to their comment sections that they did not do enough to mitigate.

Google informed ZeroHedge about their violation several days ago and The Federalist was informed Tuesday.
