Urgent: Refuse to visit troll

vendredi 16 juin 2017 à 02:00

Everyone: call on the Golden State Warriors sports team to refuse to visit the troll at the White House.

But they shouldn't simply stay away. They should hold a protest across the street!

Violence against Democrats

vendredi 16 juin 2017 à 02:00

The Republicans, led by the troll, have encouraged political violence against Democrats since almost a year ago.

One suggested using guns to do it.

They are also repeatedly violent against reporters, too.

Today someone who opposes the Republicans shot at some SCROTUS, and some Republicans have the gall to claim Democrats fomented this. It's clear what must have happened, though. The shooter loathed Republican policies, and had violent tendencies; after seeing plenty of right-wing violence and Republican incitement, he turned it around at them.

If Republican leaders have human decency, they will learn the lesson to stop inciting political violence. Gianforte's humble apology set an example that others can follow.

I don't expect many will do this, because it would require a complete reversal of attitude.

Republicans have rejected the Golden Rule, dehumanized everyone else, and set out to take and hold power no matter what damage it does to America and Americans. Probing how far they can go in violence is just one part of that.

Urgent: Defend press freedom

vendredi 16 juin 2017 à 02:00

US citizens: Call on all US elected officials to defend press freedom.

Medicare for all

vendredi 16 juin 2017 à 02:00

Every Democrat should support Medicare for all.

Doubts about the troll

vendredi 16 juin 2017 à 02:00

Considerable fractions of the troll's supporters are having doubts about him.

If this continues, it will encourage SCROTUS to protect him less.
