Ok but like. How? This country has made that impossible.
A staggering nightmare in Minnesota as the ravages of gun violence continue to destroy the lives of children across America. We pray for those killed, injured and traumatized and WE MUST ACT NOW TO STOP GUN VIOLENCE.

Of course, Republicans don't want to own up to their inhumane f*ckups that worsened the severity of the impact of the floods in Texas, but they do want to offer their usual: "thoughts and prayers."

The governor of TX even said prayers “could have been the reason why water stopped rising." Srsly?

Here’s my ask of you today:

I want you to engage with EVERY article/post you see about Signalgate. Like, comment, share. Every one.

The reason why the media kept talking about Hillary’s emails was because every story & post about it got massive engagement.

Sound good?

Here’s a question I asked one of my friends, who usually resorts to the fallacy of Whataboutism, to deal with information he doesn’t like:

If this regime were running a disinformation campaign, how could you tell if you were being manipulated by the narrative, or if you were able to see through it?

Your reminder that the news is not reporting on anything that does not support the narrative that the country loves Yam Tits and Melon Head.

There are protests everywhere. Tesla dealerships are on fire. Republicans refuse to host town halls because they're getting yelled at by veterans.

Oh nothing. Just having a wee cry at my desk over the #nationalparks LinkedIn post about women’s uniforms over the decades and how the mentor I was working with a few months ago to apply to NPS jobs said I was born to “wear the green and gray.”

Guess that won’t be a thing now.
