Facebook and Google both circulated fake news stories saying that the Las Vegas gunman was a Democrat and killed people as an act of hostility towards the troll.

The sad thing is, the people who support the troll are likely to cling to this and ignore the corrections (if they even see those).

A second one of the troll's saboteurs is in trouble for wasting public money on flying in chartered planes.

This pattern is remarkable. It says something, I think, about the kind of person that the troll chose.

The US spends almost 3 billion dollars a year treating the wounds of people who are shot. (Only a small fraction of those who are shot are killed by the shot.)

If the victims don't have medical insurance, their lives will be ruined by the expense of treatment.

The US must adopt stricter, effective gun control.

Background checks would not have prevented the Las Vegas massacre, as the killer had nothing in his background to find. But they could have prevented some recent right-wing terrorist acts. Making automatic weapons and large magazines harder to get might have prevented the Las Vegas massacre.

Perhaps the US should follow Canada's policies, which seem to work effectively.

Everyone: call for prosecution of the killer of Keegan Von Roberts.

A general strike is planned in Catalonia as a protest against repression by the police.

I would not assume that most of the people that didn't (or couldn't) vote on Sunday were supporters of independence.

I think that people who supported independence were more motivated to vote.
