Reddit and Twitch crack down on Donald Trump-related communities: Today, Reddit banned The_Donald subreddit, a community of more than 790,000 neckbeards devoted to sharing Trump propaganda, because the group "had consistently broken its rules by allowing people to target and harass others with hate speech," reports the New York Times. Reddit says it is banning around 2,000 communities from various political communities, including the subreddit focused on the dirtbag left podcast "Chapo Trap House." Twitch temporarily suspended Donald Trump's channel (he was on Twitch, apparently) for “hateful conduct." The Times wrote that Twitch's suspension appeared to be "the first deliberate suspension of one of Mr. Trump’s social media accounts."

Meanwhile, YouTube is booting a few white nationalists: The banning includes Richard Spencer.

More details on this morning's early shooting in CHOP: Two teens were suspected of driving a white Jeep Cherokee SUV into CHOP around 3 a.m. The teens were then shot at by "several unidentified people," per the Seattle Times, with a 16-year-old being killed and a 14-year-old critically injured. Both were Black. "People at the scene said the vehicle that was shot up near the camp had been seen earlier in the morning opening fire on tents in Cal Anderson," notes Capitol Hill Seattle Blog.

David Lewis, an organizer at CHOP, credited the barricades left up by SDOT with saving demonstrators' lives, as they stopped the SUV from driving into people. SPD Chief Best disagreed about the barricades providing safety: "There are multiple people being injured and hurt and we need to do something about it." More from the Seattle Times here.

Russia offered Afghan militants bounties to kill U.S. troops and officials: The New York Times reports that Trump was briefed about the news in late March. It appears he did nothing. The news sparked a round of criticism over the weekend. Here's Biden: "His entire presidency has been a gift to Putin, but this is beyond the pale. It’s a betrayal of the most sacred duty we bear as a nation, to protect and equip our troops when we send them into harm’s way."

A new coronavirus mutation is widespread and scientists suspect it produces a higher viral load: People with this "G" variant (the "G" is for glycine) aren't believed to become more ill than people infected with the original COVID-19 genetic signatures, but "a growing number of scientists worry that [this mutation] has made the virus more contagious," reports the Washington Post this morning. So much for a summer break from COVID!

Bloodworks Northwest desperately needs blood again: “Summer is always a challenging time for blood collection and now with the pandemic reducing donations, the supply is already at the point where inventories of the most-needed blood types are fast approaching critical and emergency levels – meaning a severe blood shortage is ahead of us without community action,” said Curt Bailey, Bloodworks Northwest President and CEO, in a press release pushed today.

Save the sea cows: While some of Florida was shut down due to COVID-19, boat ramps remained opened. Researchers think this led to an increase in boating activity, which has led to an increase in manatee deaths. They've risen by 20 percent from April to May compared to last year. There's more:

“I’ve been working at this for about 50 years,” [aquatic biologist Patrick Rose] said. “We have many more manatees today than we had then. But we don’t necessarily have a growing population. We’re bumping up against the carrying capacity of the habitat, in terms of food and warm water supply. We’ve lost tens of thousands of acres of seagrass over the past decade. The power plants, which currently supply artificial warm water, will also be closing in the coming years, making our fight to protect natural warm springs habitat all the more critical.”
