Julio Rosas

the 2020 riots and the gaslighting of America

The author recounts his own experiences as a reporter on the ground during and after the events beginning in the summer of 2020 in the cities of Kenosha, Wisconsin, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, and, on January 6th, 2021, in Washington D.CIn the summer of 2020, America was under siege by radical ANTIFA actors across the country. If you were only reading mainstream headlines, you probably have no idea just how bad it really was: homes and businesses being burned to the ground, livelihoods being destroyed. But corporate media mislabel them as peaceful, democratic demonstrations, in order to bolster their biased political views. Rosas presents the definitive account of what really happened that summer, with reporting of the biggest and most destructive riots that gripped the nation: Kenosha, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, and more. Small businesses and citizens of targeted cities are still sifting through the rubble, and Rosas highlights the ways in which this fallout continues to haunt and devastate communities even to this day. - adapted from jacket
