Documents Reveal That Federal Agency Monitored Black Lives Matter Demonstrations but Ignored White Supremacist Involvement in Violent Protests

America knows it has a homegrown terrorist problem , it just isn ’ t ready to deal with the reality that the face of American terrorism is ... well ... a hueless face .
White people have no problem accepting the fact that not all terrorists come from the land of scary Muslims and that some come from right here in the U.S of A , as long as those terrorists are identified as America hating Black Lives Matter advocates , Black Identity Extremists or conservative ’ s new favorite boogyman group , Antifa .
( Despite the fact that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organized Antifa group currently operating . )
Emails and records recently obtained by BuzzFeed News show that federal agents have been monitoring Black Lives Matter protests as well as the social media accounts of possible protesters and activists for “ intelligence ” on upcoming demonstrations .
Of course , something is missing in those documents authored by the Federal Protective Service , a division within the Department of Homeland Security : Mentions of white supremacy .
“ In the hundreds of pages of emails and intelligence reports , there is only a single @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other far-right extremists , despite the fact that their presence at the protests was known by federal law enforcement officials , ” BuzzFeed reports .
The egregiousness of white supremacist activity connected to violent protests being absent in FSP ’ s reports is compounded by the fact the agency describes Black Lives Matter demonstrations like they ’ re doomsday cut-scenes from Netflix ’ s The Umbrella Academy .
The email from the Federal Protective Service commander in Philadelphia was stark and alarming : “ Apparent anarchists are numerous and are attacking banks , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he wrote on May 30 , under the subject line “ Ongoing Violence toward Law Enforcement.
” “ They are discussing burning down the Federal Reserve.
” The mission of the FPS is to “ prevent , protect , respond to , and recover from terrorism , criminal acts and other hazards threatening ” the US government and its infrastructure .
Officials at the FPS did not immediately respond to a request for comment .
BuzzFeed News requested all records pertaining to the protests ; the agency ’ s response indicated that some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enforcement investigations .
An “ Information Bulletin ” issued May 29 by the FPS investigations branch warned that “ many of these demonstrations will continue to include destruction and/or violence ” and that “ participants may be wielding rudimentary weaponry and improvised incendiary devices ” and “ may conduct their attack if an opportunity exists.
” Despite characterizing BLM protesters like they ’ re the children from Lord of the Flies , an FPS intelligence research specialist wrote in one of the emails that the department has “ not found any information regarding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Civil liberties director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation David Greene spoke to BuzzFeed about the surveillance and how eerily similar it sounds to the plot of Minority Report .
“ In some ways , maybe most ways , it ’ s routine police work to search for publicly available sources of information about crime—so it ’ s not unexpected when they are investigating crime [ like the purported throwing of a molotov cocktail ] , ” Greene said .
“ But we don ’ t want to see it for what looks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And we ’ d be concerned if there were an indication that they were collecting images or social media information of peaceful protestors—really , even if non-peaceful , just not associated with criminal activity—and creating dossiers of protestors to use for future undefined investigations or potential crime.
” Again , as bad as it all looks , it looks even worse because the federal agency seems to be ignoring white supremacist groups , even when they fit the profile for the very thing they ’ re seeking information on .
In at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media posts to try to identify protesters who may have witnessed a Molotov cocktail being thrown at an ICE facility whose location is redacted in the documents .
A May 28 email to the FPS about the incident points out : “ [ A ] video on Twitter that does not show the Molotov cocktail being used but does show the faces of some protesters .
A hashtag on the post indicated the protest was in support of George Floyd.
” A May 29 DHS report found that white supremacists on Telegram , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ cocktails , chainsaws , and firearms ” against “ riot police.
” But the single mention in the FPS intelligence reports merely notes that protesters in Washington DC had informed authorities of a “ small group of approximately 4-5 White Supremacists in the crowd.
” It says nothing further .
FPS even went out of its way to compare Islamic terrorism to violent protests in the U.S. rather than immediately make the more obvious comparison to white conservative extremist groups .
In another instance , an “ operational readiness bulletin ” warning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vehicle ramming attacks against pedestrians ” states that “ offenders aligned with violent terrorist extremist ideologies , such as those espoused by the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham ( ISIS ) and al-Qa ’ ida , probably will increase their use of vehicle ramming attacks.
” The report references high-profile vehicle rammings in France , Spain , the UK , and New York City , as well as the 2017 attack in Charlottesville , Virginia , in which a white supremacist killed a protester .
But the report gets the state wrong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and makes no reference to white supremacy .
In fact , there would be at least 18 incidents of vehicle rammings during the Black Lives Matter protests , but none tied to Islamic extremists .
Rather , a Ku Klux Klan leader was convicted of one such incident in June in Virginia .

The email from the Federal Protective Service commander in Philadelphia was stark and alarming: “Apparent anarchists are numerous and are attacking banks, public structure, and statues,” he wrote on May 30, under the subject line “Ongoing Violence toward Law Enforcement.” “They are discussing burning down the Federal Reserve.” The mission of the FPS is to “prevent, protect, respond to, and recover from terrorism, criminal acts and other hazards threatening” the US government and its infrastructure. Officials at the FPS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. BuzzFeed News requested all records pertaining to the protests; the agency’s response indicated that some documents were withheld because of ongoing law enforcement investigations.

Georgia State Trooper Arrested on Felony Murder Charges for Fatally Shooting 60-Year-Old Black Man After Traffic Stop

A Georgia State Patrol trooper has been arrested on felony murder charges after he shot and killed a 60-year-old Black man following a traffic stop on August 7 .
Now , an attorney representing the victim ’ s family says a civil rights investigation is underway .
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that on Friday , the Georgia Bureau of Investigations arrested 27-year-old state trooper Jacob Gordon Thompson in Screven County for the shooting of Julian Lewis .
Authorities have said the shooting took place after Thompson attempted to stop a Nissan Sentra for a broken taillight on Stoney Pond Road @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chase down several county roads , the trooper initiated a PIT maneuver , and the car came to a stop in a ditch , the GBI said .
The trooper fired one round , fatally striking Lewis .
The family attorney said the PIT maneuver was unnecessary .
PIT maneuvers , in which an officer uses his or her car to push a vehicle off the road , can be dangerous and are generally only done to eliminate any risk to public safety .
Johnson contends there was no risk to public safety @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GBI was requested that day to investigate the officer-involved shooting .
The agency has opened 59 such investigations this year .
Thomson—who has been a Georgia State Trooper since 2013—claimed in his police report that he “ heard the engine on the violator ’ s vehicle revving at a high rate of speed .
” “ I saw him wrenching the steering wheel in an aggressive back and forth manner towards me and my patrol vehicle , ” his report reads .
“ It appeared to me that the violator was trying to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Being in fear for my life and safety , I discharged my weapon once.
” At this point , one has to assume that “ I was in fear for my life ” is written somewhere in the Cop ’ s Guide to Killing Black People When it Clearly Wasn ’ t Necessary .

Lewis ’ wife Betty—who was leaving the funeral home when she heard that her husband ’ s killer would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want justice for Julian .
He was too good to die as he did .
This is one step towards justice , ” she said in a statement , AJC reports .
Lewis family attorney and former Georgia NAACP head Francis Johnson—who said he learned Friday that the U.S. Department of Justice approved his request for a civil rights investigation—also praised the GBI Director Vic Reynolds , the local district attorney ’ s office and other officials for promptly arresting Thomson and making him answer for his alleged crimes .
“ It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say that all the agencies involved have done the right thing , ” Johnson said .
Johnson said that he requested the civil rights investigation—despite the fact that Thomson has no prior disciplinary infractions on his police record —because word on the street is that Thomson has a history of racial bias .

Some Chicago Schools Vote to Kick Cops Out, but the Schools With Mostly Black Students Will Still Keep Them

The uprising against the racist police brutality in the wake of George Floyd ’ s killing earlier this year has put policy recommendations like defunding police in closer to the realm of reality and not just in the imaginations of Black activists .
But the age-old problem of addressing issues that are disproportionately harming Black people by producing non-specific solutions aimed at a vast and amorphous ‘ everyone ’ is still present .
This phenomenon can be seen in the fact that of the 17 schools in Chicago ’ s Public School system who voted recently to remove cops from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ majority-Black student population .
Ironically , the schools that voted to keep police—or School Resource Officers ( SROs ) as they are called in that capacity—are those that are largely attended by Black children , reports WBEZ , meaning 77 % of Chicago ’ s Black public school students will still have cops at their schools .
Alycia Kamil is one of the youth activists who spent much of the summer at rallies calling for the defunding of police and for them to be removed from schools .
She called the vote tallies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kenwood Academy , a school where 87 % of the students and the LSC unanimously voted to keep SROs .
“ If [ the police ] are still going to be in schools with the people that they target the most , that they abuse the most , then there isn ’ t a win for the immediate marginalized group that is most affected by the issue , ” she said .
The schools that opted to remove cops were those with majority-Latino populations and those with more mixed demograhics .
The votes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ came from local school councils who took into consideration feedback from school staff members , who reportedly argued that they depend on police to make the environment inside the schools feel safe .

The Inventory Staff on Kinja Deals, shared by Elizabeth Henges to The Root

A big inflatable pool for $91, $50 Nintendo Switch games, a day-long Kindle eBook sale on sci-fi and fantasy novels, refurbished Fitbit Ones, and more are some of Sunday’s deals of the day.

Promoted Deal: Anker Soundcore Life P2 TWS Earbuds | $40 | Amazon
For $135, you could buy a pair of Apple-branded AirPods, or you could spend almost a hundo less and pocket the cash for a rainy day. That’s my elevator pitch for Anker’s Soundcore Liberty P2 true wireless buds which, unlike AirPods, boast an IPX7 rating, making them waterproof and weatherproof. Fast charging also gives them a leg up on the competition, with 10 minutes on the cord netting you an hour of playtime. In total, you can expect about 40 hours of playtime when stored in the charging case.
If Apple’s easy-pairing H1 chip has you on the fence, Anker’s Push and Go technology touts comparable functionality for a much lower cost: $40. Down 33% for a limited time only, these noisemakers seem to be the way to go if you’re shopping for an AirPods alternative on a budget.
I get it, it’s been really hard to keep up with fitness routines in this hellish year. But the exercise can really help your mood, even if it’s just a stroll outside, and a fitness tracker can motivate to get you moving. DailySteals has refurbished Fitbit Ones to help get you moving for the low price of $180. Since these retail at $250, that’s a cool $70 off!
The Fitbit One isn’t a fitness watch—instead, this one clips to your waistband. It’ll track your steps and whether or not you climbed stairs (look, stairs are tough), as well as monitor your sleep activity. Sleeping well is just as important to your health as exercising! So if you’re interested, grab one of these Ones before it’s too late.
Is everyone in the family fighting over the same outlet by the couch to charge their phones? Put an end to the petty squabbles by picking up Anker’s six port charging station. This little guy can charge, you guessed it, up to six devices at once, and it’ll be a Quick Charge to boot. If your device can charge via USB, you can plug it into this charging station and be ready to go soon enough. It’s only $21 thanks to Amazon’s Gold Box deals, so if you’re interested, grab one before the price goes back up!
This $90 tag on a Crucial BX500 1TB SSD is pretty sweet. If you don’t already have one, an SSD can substantially improve your PC’s overall performance. This 2.5-inch SATA block fits most modern laptops and desktops, so you can step into hard drive heaven no matter what you’re working with.
Oh yeah, give me all that sweet device convergence loving, baby. At MorningSave, there’s a three-pronged dream team combining a light, clock, and wireless charger in one convenient, sleek, and sexy little thingamajig for just $39. There’s a calendar and temperature readout, too.
Other retailers are selling the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 (Platinum) with 128GB of storage and Intel’s 10th-generation Core i3 processor for around $800, but Best Buy has it down to $599 in an insane steal, a rare extension on an offer that surfaced (no pun intended) over a week ago.
It’s a full-featured Windows tablet on the go, and you can just slap the included Type Cover on when it’s time to get to work. Here’s everything under the hood for this perfect back-to-school model:
12.3-inch PixelSense display (2736x1824)
Intel Core i3-1005G1, Iris Plus 940 Graphics
128GB SSD, 4GB LPDDR4X RAM
1 USB Type C, 1 USB Type A, MicroSDXC reader, Surface Connect, 3.5mm audio jack
5MP front-facing camera, 8MP rear-facing, 1080p video
WiFi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5
Windows 10 Home
11.5 x 7.9 x 0.33 inches, 1.74 pounds (2.42 pounds with Type Cover)
Give it a stronger look-see over at Best Buy, where you’ll also be able to find more powerful SKUs up for similar discounts.

I’ve had to pull back on my current run through Umbrella Academy until night falls, and I want to watch shows like that with every single audible detail tickling my ear drums. Unfortunately, this means using headphones, which is mighty inconvenient if you’re bound by wires. This 1Mii transmitter adds low latency Bluetooth AptX audio to any TV, and it’s only $25 with promo code 384KKDVT.
It accepts auxiliary, RCA, optical, and coaxial inputs, so it should be compatible with virtually any TV or set-top box in your arsenal. You don’t even have to stay in the same room thanks to its 197-foot range antennae (though 50-70 feet is more typical when dealing with indoor obstructions).
While I’m partial to mechanical keyboards for gaming, a cheap membrane keyboard with this many features is still worth a quick crook and turn of the neck. Just $22 at SideDeal, this Accusor board features three-color RGB (red, blue, violet), six programmable macro buttons, nine multimedia functions, plus all the other boring keys you’ve come to know and love (and abuse, if you’re as heavy-handed as I am).
There’s even more, like three onboard profiles with a selector to allow on-the-fly switching, plus automatic game-specific profile loading if all of the above wasn’t enough convenience for you.
Many of you threatened to cancel me when I disqualified the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 from our most recent headphones co-op since MSRP still sits around $350, noting that sales often bring this wireless audio sublimity in reach. This one that takes the Arctic White model down to $299. Please don’t cancel me. Kthxbai.

I need a new PlayStation 4 headset, because of course a PC headset isn’t going to work with my gaming consoles. Nothing can be easy! I had a Turtle Beach headset a lonnngggg time ago in the age of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and that little bugger survived for years before just being incompatible with my newer technology. The Ear Force Recon 50P might be a cringey name, but I assume this headset is of the same quality, and works right out the box with your PS4 controller. It also works with the Xbox One controller with an adapter! At only $25, this seems like a solid buy.
Over at Walmart, you can get some of Nintendo’s popular first party titles for $50. Most gamers know that Nintendo games are slow to drop in price, so this is a pretty great deal! We’ve been seeing this $10 discount at other retailers, most notably Amazon, but Walmart has a few titles that are currently unique to them!
The recently released and super popular Animal Crossing: New Horizons is on that list. If you’ve been wondering what all the fuss was about, now’s your chance to give it a try! Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Luigi’s Mansion 3 are also a part of that sale, and are both great games in their own right. Grab some copies before it’s too late!
For all my Walking Dead obsessed people, The Walking Dead Collection by Telltale Games is only $28. You can shoot zombies and make decisions that’ll surely fuck you up in the long run. Available on XBOX One, it contains all four seasons, including my baby Clementine, who has become hardened after living in a post-zombie world. Wild. Anyway, hop on this deal because I’m not sure how long it’ll last.
2K is discounting some of its best collections on the Nintendo Switch. Snag three games each in the BioShock Collection and Borderlands Legendary Collection for $35 each.
You can also still grab the XCOM 2 Collection for $39, which is not as sweet of a deal on paper as it only packs one game, but it comes with all the DLC, and considering I’d still pay $60 for the base game in 2020, I’ll say it’s still worth buying.
This deal was originally posted by Quentyn Kennemer 7/24/2020 and updated with new information on 8/14/2020.
Best Buy’s Anniversary Sale starts today and what better way to kick it off than by saving $10 on a new case for your Switch. These three for your favorite Nintendo system are 50% off and will protect your precious portable gaming device.
I bring my Switch Lite to the park a lot and discovered quickly after buying it I really needed a case instead of tossing it in my backpack. These PowerA protective cases fit the standard Switch snugly. The hard outer shell will keep the body intact and the screen scratch-free. You won’t have to worry if you accidentally drop the case either, they’ve literally got you covered.
The Zelda case (from RDS Industries) is for the Switch Lite whereas the Pokemon ones might not have the right fit for optimum protection as they are for the standard Switch. All the cases have slots for cartridges so you can have a few options for play while you’re on the go.
This item ships for free and the sale ends Sunday.
Harkening back to the fidget spinner days, I see Speks as the natural evolution of the 2017 phenomenon. Similarly, it’s a magnetic ball toy meant for you to fidget with throughout your days now spent agonizing over job security and solitary confinement. Rather than biting your lip or anxiously bouncing your leg, the fidget toys are a healthy and fun way to cope when you’re stressed. You can mold them into various shapes and even pair ‘em with a second set, for more sculpting possibilities. They come in single- and multi-color variants including teal, rose gold, and “jazzercise.”
For a limited time, you can buy one set of Speks magnetic balls and get Unblocks—a comparable toy akin to magnetic Lincoln Logs—free (a $15 value) using the promo code FREEFUN. And remember, orders over $45 come with free shipping, so order a couple and save a few bucks on courier fees. Don’t sweat the small things, try Speks instead. Believe me, I have, and it works!
In Hello Neighbor, you take it upon your inquisitive adolescent curiosity to sneak into the house next door and figure out what’s hiding in his closely guarded basement, but the man of the house is home and you better not let him catch you. It’s a horror game that adapts to your tactics, the AI learning your behavior and changing its response up each time you go for the same tired tricks. The follow-up, Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek, is even better, and since it’s a prequel, you can dive right in without having to play the original. Amazon has it for just $12 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Washing your hands are important! All the time, but especially now! Why not up your hand-washing game with a touchless soap dispenser in your home? It’s more sanitary, and you can decide how much soap it dispenses, making sure people don’t use too much (or too little) when they wash up. You can get this handy doodad for just $23 if you use code 9R8MJ8LD at checkout. It’s a win-win!
I hate cleaning the refrigerator. It needs to be done, but it’s such a pain, especially if a particularly sticky stain went unnoticed for a while. But, this job is a lot easier if you get some refrigerator mats. MorningSave has a four-pack of the helpful mats for just $10, today only. It makes cleaning way easier because you can just pull these out, wash them, and stick them back in when they’re dry. This deal is only available until the end of the day, though, so grab a pack before they sell out.
It’s not really safe to go swimming in a public setting right now, what with a massive pandemic going on and places like beaches being a breeding ground for viruses at the best of times. Instead of risking COVID to cool down, why not grab an inflatable above ground pool the family can safely enjoy? At DailySteals, you can get an extra large inflatable pool for just $91 when you use the code KJPOOL at checkout. Not too shabby! If you’re missing the experience of sitting in some water this summer, this can be your solution.
Oh, the joys of owning a larger vehicle. Not only does it cost more for parking in just about every city I’ve ever been to, but the jump starters, too, come at a premium. On the bright side, they occasionally go on sale for 40% off, as is the case with the Gooloo jumper pictured here.
This 1500A jump starter—which can breathe new life into your SUV, pickup truck, tractor, and even yacht—normally costs $90. Compared to the $60-$70 price tag on a lot of the 800A models geared toward more compact cars (the 1500A Gooloo supports up to 8-liter gas and 6-liter diesel engines), that’s a steep luxury tax for owners of bigger wheels.
Net yourself a high-end jump starter for the entry-level cost of $49 by clipping the coupon featured here and entering the promo code W758BS8R at checkout. You’ll never have to worry about your truck or phone dying again, thanks to its built-in 20,800mAh power bank functionality.
This deal was originally published by Gabe Carey in March 2020 and updated by Quentyn Kennemer with new information on 8/14/2020.
If you need a pressure cooker, splurge a little with this chance to save on a Chefman XL 8-quart foodie reservoir, a stainless steel model featuring dozens of presets across the operations of pressure cooking, slow cooking, and steaming. .Your purchase comes with dishwasher safe accessories, too, including steam rack, basket, rice spoon, and ladle.
“Liz I swear to God if you tell me it’s hot one more time I’ll murder you.” Fine, but you still pick up some super comfy shorts from JACHS NY. It’s their Summer Blowout sale, and their shorts are only $19 if you use ST19 at checkout. No reason to miss out on this one!
This sale includes their popular chino shorts, as well as some board shorts. Whatever style you prefer, grab some pairs before they sell out—because some already are!
Until Sunday night take an additional 60% off some already deeply discounted items in Converse’s clearance section. Just use the code LASTCHANCE at check out. Men, Women, Kids are all covered in this sale. There are almost 700 items to pick from. It’s not all sweet kicks, they’ve got backpacks, hats, jackets, and sweatshirts in this collection. Classic low tops ($48), Classic high tops ($50), and something with a little flare like these 70's inspired floral sneakers ($52). You’re sure to find something you’ll love to roll out the rest of your summer looks and ride that cool wave right into autumn. Move fast though, sizes are going quick with these savings.
Free shipping for members or on orders over $50. This discount runs until August 16.
For a short time, you can get a whopping 20% discount on the Satisfyer Pro 2. It’s an oral sex simulator that will suck the shit out of your clitoris and has so many modes of pleasure. One of our writers, Jolie Kerr, says it best:
Satisfyer Pro 2 delivers a very specific experience; basically, it’s designed to stimulate the clit and nothing else, although you can certainly explore other areas with it. It is not, however, an insertable toy and should only be used externally.While it’s not an especially versatile toy, and doesn’t strike me as a great candidate for couples play, it is very, very good at what it does. Basically, if oral sex is the way you like to get off, Satisfyer Pro 2 will make you very, very happy.
The Satisfyer is only $52 with the promo code WELL so make sure you grab this and get off before it’s gone!
Sunday Scaries has earned high marks from outlets like Buzzfeed, PopSugar, and yes, The Inventory, for their accessible and HIGHLY relaxing, often vitamin-infused CBD products including the Gummies for Chillin’ and oil tincture (also for chillin’), both of which I’ve tried and happily endorse. But don’t take my word for it—for a limited time only, you too can feel the effects of “the remedy that makes life not so scary” and share ‘em with your partner(s), thanks to this exclusive discount for Kinja Deals readers.
$34, using the promo code SPSECRET50 automatically applied at checkout, nets you a 500mg tincture and 20 gummies delivered to your doorstep every month. While it only applies to your first purchase, I’m fairly confident you won’t be disappointed. The oil tincture in particular is, in my opinion, best paired with Sweet Honeydew tea from Stash and a dollop of unsalted butter to help it dissolve. Relieve the contention in your three-way relationship with a healthy dose of ingestible CBD while supplies last.
Cariuma is a company definitely making waves in the sustainability space. They’re dedicated to fighting against wasteful practices that are rampant in the fashion industry. David and Fernando, the founders, wanted to bring all that to the sneaker game and to create thoughtfully made shoes with cool comfort. Good-looking kicks consciously created with classic styles.
The company partnered with color giants Pantone to release a fall color line and it’s got cool classic written all over it. They all run under $100. The low tops come in five colors and I’m digging these Blueprint ones since the Pantone color of 2020 is Classic Blue. There are grey and black options available in the high-top version ($98) and definitely give off 90s vibes. These are sharp shoes and you’ll turn heads for sure and take a step towards more eco-conscious shopping.
Free shipping on all orders.
Apparently left-handed people have better sex. As a right-handed person, I want to vehemently disagree, but science doesn’t lie. I guess we have one more thing to thank lefties for—this Kinja-Exclusive Lefties Vibrator bundle at Ella Paradis. Usually $102, it’s now $39, no code needed. The bundle includes a Better Love G-Spot vibrator, a satin toy bag, and a bottle of lube to keep things ... slippery. I’d grab this bundle and get off with your favorite lefty right now.
It’s been a little bit since we talked about books together, eh? Look, I’m trying to break my eBook buying addiction, but I can’t resist a good fantasy book sale. Today only, you can get some really good sci-fi and fantasy novels at $4 (or less!) on the Kindle Store, so you don’t want to miss this one.
The book that immediately stood out to me is Brandon Sanderson’s The Way of Kings, the beginning of a popular series by one of modern fantasy’s most prolific writers. At only $3, even if you’re not a fan of the genre it’s worth picking up. Also, the Southern Reach trilogy is on sale for $3 a book, so you might want to pick up Annihilation and give the series a try. Or buy all of them, like I just did, and hope I like them. I’m sure I will... when I get around to reading them.
There’s a lot of nice stuff on offer here, so give it a look, and make your choices before the end of the day! Heck, while we’re at is, the basic Kindle is on sale, too, so maybe now’s the time to pick one up!
Look I’m not going to pretend to know anything about modern anime. I’m too lazy to catch up on what’s good, so I just watch re-runs of American comedies instead. But for those that keep up with the popular releases, you’re in luck, because Amazon is having a sale on select anime blu-rays. They’re up to half off, which makes these expensive collections much more affordable.
Some of the standouts here are the newer Evangelion movies, the first season of Goblin Slayer, and seasons 1-3 of Attack on Titan. Those seem... cool! I haven’t watched them so they’re probably good! Or maybe definitely not and I’m digging a grave for myself for when the anime fans eviscerate me. Either way, grab whatever interests you before this sale ends.
Otakus will have you know that Akira is to manga what the Mona Lisa is to art, and you can catch up for $50 off at Amazon. The $150 total nets you six hardcover books, an Akira Club hardcover artbook with glossy pages, and an iron-on version of Kaneda’s iconic pill patch. Too bad there aren’t many Comic-Cons going on.

DEALS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED
Weighted blankets are said to be excellent solutions for anxiety and putting nervousness at ease. Given all that’s going on in the world right now anything that provides a sense of calm is welcome. This SensorPEDIC Weighted Blanket is here to provide just that and you’ll save $141.
This fifteen-pound blanket will aid in soothing worries with soft and steady pressure. The evenly distributed high-density glass beads will put your mind, body, and soul into total relaxation. I’ve had Sherpa blankets (not weighted) before and they are absolutely some of the plushest around, tops on cozy vibes. Sleep is so important and can really set the tone for your day and honestly your quality of life. If you’re suffering from not just anxiety but insomnia, ADHA, or just good old fashioned stress a weighted blanket could be a wonderful non-medication solution. The Sherpa cover zips right off making this easy to wash in a machine giving you lasting comfort for unwavering slumber.
If you’ve read a few of our pieces on MorningSave before and you like what you’ve seen they offer a $5 monthly fee to get free shipping on all of your orders no matter how many. Otherwise, it’s a flat rate of $8.
If you’ve picked up on red meat consumption, you’ll need a good steak knife, especially if you prefer your cuts have the doneness of a chewed up rain boot. KYOKU’s knives have proven excellent for cutting into even the toughest of fleshy strands, and with so many in the steak family—sirloin, chuck, skirt, flank, porterhouse, rib-eye, t-bone, tenderloin—jeez, with so many different forms of steak, why isn’t that all we’re eating? And what kind of steak person are you anyway? Do you like to drown your meat in a vat of tangy substances, or do you pre—wait, what were we talking about? OH, RIGHT, STEAK KNIVES. You can get four of Kyoku’s five-inch knives for $42. Just clip the coupon at Amazon and use code KOZCJR2J at checkout.
This deal was originally published in April 2020 and updated with new information on 8/12/2020.
At MorningSave, they’re bundling eight of these solar-powered LED bulbs designed to burrow into the grounds around your home for $29. This flat disk design illuminates the area without much of vertical footprint. Each light has eight bright LEDs, and they’ll get their charge daily from the sun and automatically kick on when night falls for up to 10 hours.
Many understandably jumped at the chance to play Final Fantasy VII Remake the day it came out, and I’d say they got their money’s worth then. If you’ve been holding out and Ghost of Tsushima hasn’t completely eaten up your gaming hours, it’s time to reunite with Cloud and the gang on PlayStation 4. Amazon has the remake up for $40.
This decades-in-the-making reemergence doesn‘t embody the full Final Fantasy VII experience you remember from childhood, but it reintroduces us to a classic story featuring unforgettable characters with modern visuals and gameplay. Part II of this episodic journey is in the works, too, so you’ll want to get caught up in case it miraculously drops within the next couple of years.
This deal was originally published on 8/5/2020 and updated with new information on 8/13/2020.
If you passed on Fallout 76 at launch, I commend you. No one should award developers their hard-earned dollars for messes like that. But many key updates and discounts later, you might want to check it out. Amazon has Fallout 76: Wastelanders up on Amazon for $10.
This is the base game with the latest updates and DLC baked in, adding several important elements missing from launch such as human NPCs, something the company originally decided against as a “design decision.” Many of the major bugs and kinks have been worked out by now, too, so it’s not nearly as frustrating to play.
I know none of us are taking flights right now, but you know what’s one of the worst things about them? Lots of noise when you’re trying to concentrate or sleep. It can be hell, especially on long flights. What if I told you that these Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones could block out the loud talking and babies crying? You’d say that’s worth the price of admission, right?
Well, you’re in luck, as Newegg has these headphones for just $227, or $51 off. In addition to true noise cancelling, this headset offers up to 30 hours of listening time between charges and a Quick Attention feature where you can quickly turn down the volume for conversation. It’s a nifty set of headphones!
Running low on sanitizer? Here’s a great chance to stock up: Amazon has a six pack of Wish’s 3.38oz tubes down to just $12. Complete with Vitamin E and other moisturizing agents. They’re small enough to fit in pockets and purses, too, so you won’t have to lug a big bottle around all day to keep your hands germ-free.
Listen, no matter how loud the anti-maskers have a temper tantrum, masks protect yourself and others from COVID-19. We’re living in a pandemic and you know, it requires a bit of preparation for going out in public. This 20-Pack of KN95 masks (and any other size) are $48, 20% off with the code KINJA20, which is $12 off the original price of $60. If you have a bigger household, you might want to invest in the 50-pack for $104, or even the 100-pack for $160. Like I said before, yes, masks are overpriced these days, but this brand of KN95 masks are certified by the CDC to block 95% of air particles up to .3-micron levels. What are you waiting for? Grab a box and start using them!
But if you want to get specific with clitoral and g-spot orgasms, you should check out the Rabbit Lily vibrator. It’s only $36 after the 60% discount and it can, like I said, get you to a dual climax, and fully scratching that itch you’ve been having ever since the quarantine has lasted WAY longer than we thought it would. Anyway, grab this and get full use of your happy time. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.
If you didn’t know by now, you can grab 60% off sex toys sitewide thanks to Wellness Month! All you have to do is type in the code “WELL” at checkout, but usually, it’ll automatically be applied.
As the Dermstore celebrates 21 years in business they wanted to gift you a present. Until August 17 take up to 25% off a wide selection of items in their birthday festivities, this includes most sale items. They’ve also discounted some of their ‘Best of’ bundles. Just use the code CELEBRATE at checkout.
Speaking of which, the Best of the Essentials ($48) has ten products all curated by their experts based on the best-reviewed and top-selling items from their skincare section. Bundles like this are an excellent way to discover new favorites or try something you’ve always wanted to. They’ve already taken $12 off this one.
It’s still summer so let’s grab a good and reliable sunscreen. Sunforgettable’s Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 ($39) is 100% that. Lightweight, sheer, and water/sweat-resistant. This one is a non-chemical, broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect that mug and keep it pretty for a long time.
I look at Bioderma Sensibio H2O ($15) as a holy grail product because so many of my favorite beauty YouTubers swear by it. It’s a non-rinse cleanser that easily removes makeup, even the toughest eyeliner, and mascara. Trust me on that one. It handles sensitive skin very well and keeps all types soothed and smooth.
Again that code is good until next Monday and there’s free shipping on all orders.
Though it only recently gained recognition in the U.S. after Mari Kondo’s The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up made the New York Times bestsellers list for 86 consecutive weeks, Yamazaki is nearly as ubiquitous as IKEA in Japan. So whenever they’re running a sale here in the states, it’s no surprise it makes headlines, as is the case in this week’s Huckberry sale. For a limited time, you can save 15% on Yamazaki’s clutter-free furniture including a contemporary rectangular side table, a headphone stand, a key rack, and a set of ceramic upward-standing pet bowls for your fur babies.
Don’t underestimate the value of an organized household, especially as we’re spending more time either working from or living the rest of our lives at home. Out with the old, in with the new—spark joy in your home once more, while supplies last. This sale ends August 17.
I’m sorry this isn’t all just the pink Starbursts but you are still saving 16% on thirty-six packs on these killer little fruit bombs. Enjoy this unexplainably juicy candy all by yourself or with friends. When Starbursts are fresh and chewy they are the best. Full of succulent goodness in strawberry, cherry, orange, and lemon. Am I the only one that will combine two at a time for a new flavor? If you’ve never done that you’re not living your best life so you should probably buy this box for $27 and try all the delicious options. There are 15 combinations ok. But it doesn’t mean they aren’t all tasty.
Free one-day shipping for Prime members.
For all the music nerds, the Anker Soundcore Bluetooth speaker is down to $21, which is $7 off the original sale price of $27. If you like to blast your music while you’re hiking or even sunbathing in the backyard, this device is perfect for you. It has about 66 feet of range between you and your phone, so all the barbecues you have to pass the time will be filled with dope music. I would hop on this deal before it’s gone!
This deal was originally posted by Ignacia Fulcher on 4/13/2020 and updated with new information on 8/12/2020.
Sure, you’ve got your home office tailored just so, with your desk all in order, and your cables finally tucked behind some proper management. It’s great having a workspace that’s in order. That said, being at home means you don’t have an office full of chatty coworkers to meander about when you’re feeling stuck or antsy, and staring at the same four walls all day gets old pretty quickly. Your work laptop might be too hefty to lug around frequently, but that’s where a good, tiny computer comes in handy. The Surface Go 2, down to $550 at Best Buy, packs enough power into a tiny machine to help you get through your daily Google Docs and email grind. You can even use it with a stylus to scribble down meeting notes while you’re on your team’s weekly Zoom call. It’s not the most powerful computer around, but its small size means you can carry it from room to room, plopping it on your dining room table while you’re on your lunch break, then catching up on emails from the couch after a long day at the chair.
Quick note, though: this deal doesn’t include the Type Cover, which you’ll need if you want to use this for getting work done, so be sure to cop one of those too.
Whether you need more space for your phone or a faster card to record 4K videos on your new camera, you’ll want faster microSD cards like this SanDisk High Endurance. It’s rated Class 10, V30, U3, and all the other numbers that won’t make much sense to the average consumer. I’ll sum it up this way: it’s fast, reliable, and cheap at just $13.
Even if you’ve done nothing incriminating, no one wants their internet service provider (ISP) snooping in their browsing history. And during a time when the federal government wants to ban your favorite lip-syncing app as a purely xenophobic distraction from an imminent election, it may be time to start taking your online privacy seriously. OVPN encrypts your connection and claims it doesn’t store logs on their servers, even temporarily.
Though it doesn’t have as many servers on its network as some fan-favorites, the company owns all 89 of the servers it does have, with no physical storage devices like CD-ROMs or hard drives harboring your data. Try it out for yourself, now 15% off using our exclusive promo code KINJA15, bringing your sum total at checkout to a mere $4/month.
Nobody likes feeling your headphone cables flail around as you’re on your morning jog or just out and about. True Wireless headphones help alleviate that and give you a sleek way to blast your favorite playlist or catch up on a couple podcasts, but they get expensive pretty quickly. Jabra’s Elite Active 65t True Wireless earbuds can run up to 15 hours on a single charge, with the use of its charging case, and can connect to Siri, Alexa, or Google Now for quick voice controls. Right now you can get a refurbished pair for $55 on Newegg. There’s a newer model, the 75t, which does offer some nice upgrades, but for the discount, you’re still getting some seriously good earbuds, so don’t fret too much.
This deal was originally published by Jordan McMahon on 6/2/2020 and updated with new information on 8/11/2020.
If I could melt every single tech thing in my life down to one convenient device, I would. Until technology catches up to my imagination, products like this 5-in-1 Aukey charger will have to do. It’s a wireless charging pad, but it also sports two USB ports and an HDMI connection, including 60W USB-C Power Delivery to charge smartphones, Switches, MacBooks, and iPads at the fastest speeds possible. This convenient little puck is normally $50, but clip the coupon and use promo code D29468C2 and you’re on the hook for just $22.
Whether it’s a publicity stunt remains to be seen. But the fact of the matter is NordVPN claims the previously ongoing 70% discount to their 3-year plan will soon be expired. The secure private networking company, which managed to crack the top five best VPNs as suggested by our readers, is supposedly clearing out virtual inventory in a final countdown to August 17, the last day of the sale.
Recommended by PCMag, WIRED, Forbes, and a bunch of other noteworthy publications listed on their site, NordVPN boasts top-notch security, fast speeds, 24/7 customer service, and support for six devices at once made possibly by a host of 5,000 servers worldwide. With a potential TikTok ban imminent in the US, shelling out for a VPN may soon be the only viable solution for accessing the service, either on your phone or home computer.
Otherwise, VPNs are a useful tool for keeping your browsing history private and your ISP off your back.

White supremacists and the people who oppose them faced-off and got into fisticuffs in different parts of the country this weekend.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, they were met with hundreds of counter-protestors—including some who were also armed.
As the police stood to the side and watched, the two groups kept getting in vocal arguments and physical skirmishes.

From AJC:
Tracy Baisden, a Black woman from Atlanta, engaged in a long discussion with a white man, who only identified himself as Zach, as the man declared his desire that races remain separate. Like many such face-to-face encounters, little was settled. “I think this young man is lost,” Baisden said about Zach. Militia members sprayed several counterprotesters with insect repellent or pepper spray, and several individuals on both sides were knocked to the ground. A counterprotester ripped the face mask from an Associated Press photographer as the he was attempting document the scene.

Church leaders and others had organized counter-protests in the area, with Rev. Nathan Dannison of First Congregational Church saying they wanted to use the occasion to stand against violent bigotry and remember those who have been killed by white supremacists, reports M Live.
