Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Nothing like US-backed regime changes to demonstrate success: Afghanistan, Libya, Korea, Iraq, etc. etc.--oh, and Iran! We can't forget Iran! That worked out well for everyone.

The brain-drained jadrools of the Trump administration played "Fortunate Son" by Credence Clearwater Revival. For anyone with even slight literacy skills, that song is a critique of the US, of the military, of millionaires, etc. Trump zombie culture.

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose. This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. DEFIANCE. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Daviss)

GOP to America: Stop clinging to your healthcare and retirement. We are all going to die sometime. We’re just gonna make sure it happens sooner, and from a homeless shelter.

A lot of government workers go unnoticed—until they’re gone. The problem with letting the ultra-rich call the shots is they don’t see us. To them, we’re disposable… until the day they need clean water, a working 911 line, or someone to put out the fire.

Any Philly baseball people know what happened to Ricky Botallico? He hasn't been showing up for the 7th inning stretch. Wondering if he got canned after the first game against the Giants, where they cut off everything he said.

Elon "comedy is legal again" Musk wants to shut down SNL because it's doing too good of a job parodying him. Such a snowflake. bowlnews.cafex.biz/blog/elon-mu...

This op-ed by Trump's Chief of Staff of Homeland Security was published anonymously in 2018 & Trump has targeted him for retribution. It's a portrait of the man who abruptly changed his mind--again--over tariffs. A dangerous, reckless, childish man. www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/o...
