Charged: Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson has been charged with a felony for inciting a riot at Cider Riot on May Day. That makes Gibson the sixth alt-right protestor to be arrested in connection with the brawl.
Oath Keepers Out: The Oath Keepers, an anti-government militia group that planned to be at tomorrow's demonstration, has decided to sit this one out instead. Their reason: The Proud Boys and other far-right groups are just too racist for them.

Shopping Spree: What does the man who pretends to have everything still want? A new country, apparently: Trump is seriously floating the idea of buying Greenland, which is an autonomous Danish territory. The people of Greenland and Denmark do not love this idea!
Challenge: Commissioner Chloe Eudaly will face at least one challenger to her 2020 campaign for re-election. Seth Wooley, a campaign finance reform advocate and environmental activist, plans to run against Eudaly.
