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.”

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?
In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.
Call it what it is.

What the actual what. Where are the smart people to stand up to this?
The federal government has ordered an immediate stop to all research grants.
No agencies may issue new grants.
No agencies may provide money under existing grants.
All science and engineering research in the US must come to a screeching halt.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

I’ve always admired President Carter. I remember his concern for everyday working people, his tarring by crude conservative populism, and the big-business takeover and inequality that accelerated with Reagan. He was a better president than you think:

Cracked “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72” by Hunter S. Thompson. So far it's insightful, prescient, a bit quaint.
