Agree 100%.  Sure donating money is the best thing many people can do.  But celebrities have a built in platform most of us don’t, so I would argue the best thing he can do is speak up so his followers see.  Amplifying voices is important too.  

The language about Lil Timmee here is weird. Why are we assuming that, because he mobilized his fan base to call the DA’s office, he did not also donate money? I donated to the bail fund yesterday but didn’t post my receipt on Twitter because I wasn’t comfortable posting that info. I told my best friend, because she

Came here to say this. Hell, they all look fucking desperate. “Heartbreaking” isn’t a term I tend to use, but this photo is making me very, very sad.

The kid in the middle looks like he’s hostage and this is a proof of life picture.

When I wasn’t exercising: I’d go a day or two without showering. It was fine. 

I gotta say, since I have been WFH and showering less often (every other day or two days, depending), my eczema is much better.  Having to shower daily for work (so my hair is presentable) just kills my skin. 

Exactly. This could have easily been avoided had the ownership class and their GOP minions actually given a shit about people over profits.
Wall Street needs a massive bailout... you got it!
Giant corporations that had record breaking year over year profits now need a huge bailout... take it, it’s yours!
Fossil fuel

They own the news media. All of it.

Remember that it’s also the party of “every human life is sacred, so abortion must be illegal in all cases.”

“Our capital stock hasn’t been destroyed, our human capital stock is ready to get back to work, ”

Trust me...when he says ‘human capital stock’ its all cattle to him and his fucking ghouls whether you walk on 2 or 4 legs.

I feel bad for the dog. But not as badly as I do for black men against whom the police are weaponized. 

She will get past this. In a week or two, her gofundme will be at $200,000 KKK money despite her previous Barack Obama affiliations. Because she totally, secretly voted Trump.

This. Most outlets are following CNN’s lead and still going easy on him, even how.

This is the correct take. Twitter’s willingness to serve as the bullhorn for Trump’s fucknuttery, along with their inaction in combating information that’s turned out to be legitimately harmful is just beyond the pale. Twitter served as the echo chamber for the corrupt, and continues to refuse to accept any

Watch the news, local and national, where most Americans receive everything they ever hear about this guy. They never report anything like this. Nothing about deranged tweets. Maybe a benign quote here and there. They are failing us spectacularly.

If everyone walked off Twitter, the world would be a better place. But people are hooked on those sweet, sweet “likes” and the idea that maybe one day some exhausted and/or lazy and/or incompetent journalist will print one of their Tweets on a topic rather than actually do some reporting about it...

What happens?  Not a fucking thing.  Twitter did nothing and Trump doubled down.  Fuck them both.

And herein lies the problem. Decent people will not want to keep dredging up this painful situation out of respect for the family. But Trump, who has no atom of decency in his bloated body, will keep yelling about it, his lumpen followers will repeat it and with no response then claim “cover-up”. 

The only thing that surprises me about this story is how Trump still manages to have a 44% approval rating.
