Good idea. Sane people with authority, like Senators and congresspeople (maybe state officials?), should keep showing up. The involuntary separation of families at the border is a humanitarian crises.

The best part of the story is that Stephanie doubled the number of folks who read the Root story. I am gonna call that a win for the good guys.

THIS. So many people on my feeds have shared that twitter thread and been like, “Pipe down, man! Those kids are FIIINNNEEE! If you talk about them, you doing just what he WANTS you to do!” I mean, I am willing to believe that a news story may be more complicated that it at first appears, but I am unwilling to…

Oh, there will be another market / housing crash. That is what happen when you loosen securities regulation, and decrease enforcement of securities laws - everything goes up for a while, but then the house of cards collapses eventually. It is just hard to predict WHEN exactly.

With the extent of human trafficking in the US, I believe it is unlikely that these 1000+ children are safely with family members. Being here “illegally” means they are very susceptible to being trafficked - because they cannot go to law enforcement for help, for one thing. Child predators in particular will…

Almost 1,500 children is a LOT. That is not a record-keeping error. That is too many human beings to just “lose”. Someone knows where they are.

WTF?!? The group says that they are going “to focus on big picture topics related to democracy, rather than elections or political funding.”

The Parkland kids have had a HUGE impact. Just in Raleigh, North Carolina we had about 10,000 at the March for Our Lives. It was the biggest protest I have ever seen in Raleigh (and we protest a LOT because we are actually not a democracy anymore, so it is the only way to be heard). And I LOT of people in NC have…

You laugh, but the NC Legislature is proposing a law that would require all school stop put up a sign that says “in god we trust”. Because THAT will solve the problem. http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article211333674.html

Right?! This touched a nerve. Like, how often are we told that we didn’t experience what we experienced? That we don’t feel the way we feel? That we must have “misunderstood”? That we are just “too sensitive”?

This misogynist guy, who think he is such an “intellectual”, really deserves some harmless ribbing. I am thinking of something like those folks who hired a Mariachi Band for the racist lawyer - what would be the equivalent for this guy, I wonder?

The NYTimes has been publishing a lot opinion pieces lately that seems designed to outrage progressives - like they are trolling for rage clicks.

That is an excellent point I have not seen anyone make yet. You should tweet that at him - he seems thin-skinned.

It is terrifying that he is taken seriously enough to warrant an NYTimes profile. He seems coo-coo for CoCo puffs to us, but many people must seriously follow him and his ideas.

As a parent these days, every single morning they go to school I think, “will I ever see them again?” I have felt like this since Parkland.  

The politician’s kids go to private schools.

Same. Like, you can’t evict someone just because they are a racist asshole.

Dude, I feel you . . . but no. The NC State Legislature does not represent the people of NC. I mean that literally - the NCGOP seized control through racist gerrymandering and racist voter suppression and more racist voter suppression. They literally do not represent us.  

Dude. Amazon was NEVER coming to North Carolina. Jeff Bezos is trolling us & vying to get tax deductions for the Amazon distribution centers. Amazon will never ever ever have an HQ in NC.
