There they were in broad daylight, an overwhelmingly white and male mob, many dressed like paramilitary, some waving the defeated flag of the Confederacy and the red, white and blue banner of Donald Trump, pushing past Capitol building police and into the annals of infamy. How do we explain to America s children, used to seeing only stars and stripes fly at the People s House, what a failed insurrection is?
“Our kids are pretty astute, they know these are injustices, said President Fred Rush of the Ocean County NAACP Lakewood branch, remarking on Wednesday s scene, which included nooses hung from a gallows and over tree branches, and rioters in hoodies emblazoned with Camp Auschwitz and 6MWE white nationalists shorthand for 6 million Jews wasn t enough. They have just seen another one.”

New Jersey residents are frequently waiting hours to get tested for the coronavirus and are often getting turned away at local clinics that have run dry of supplies as the state struggles to keep up with rising demand and control the surge of infections.
Governor Phil Murphy said more than 400 sites are providing testing across the state, which is performing an average of 50,000 tests a day. While it’s a huge increase from the virus’s first wave in the spring, New Jersey is still testing fewer people compared to New York, which has screened twice as many residents per capita. And this week, the number of administered tests actually decreased, according to data published by Johns Hopkins University.
