Yesterday Trump yelled FIRE on national TV and doubled down on it while the MSM played his hateful words over and over again. Today, a pro-Russian American student of Greek origin killed 9 students and a teacher in a small town in open carry Texas. @msnbc@cnn @abdcnews @cbsnews
Turns out the Texas school shooter (I won't repeat his name) was a neo-Nazi—one of Trump's "very fine people"—who posted photos of himself on social media wearing an Iron Cross and "born to kill" shirt.
According to the NRA, he was a "good guy with a gun" until today…
Parents live in a house w/child & has NO knowledge of what that child is upto in their room, their clothing, their social media activity or that they are nazi sympathizers all while keeping firearms readily available to them.
Only in small town white rural America where white men are afraid of their shadow and need to carry a gun, feel they are discriminated against, and are constantly persecuted by minorities.
every single time there’s a mass shooting i hold my breath & hope the shooter isn’t black or brown knowing how it would be projected onto an entire community & that no matter how many white mass shooters there continue to be white people will never have to carry that kind of fear
Can anyone explain to me how these white terrorist who shoot up churches and schools end up being captured alive while my unarmed black brothers wind up shot multiple times and die????
Girl…..the one who shot innocent churchgoers after attending their bible study class was allowed to get a hamburger because “he hadn’t eaten in a few days”. The blatant racism never ends. Yet if you try and run away because you have a tail light out on your car you get shot dead.
Wait until we get the stories about how this vicious boy was just a troubled child and that no one knew he was capable of such a thing. If he was Muslim he would already be defined a terriost and if he was a person of color he would be defined an animal (per their president).
If you’re a Michael Avenatti fan, you might want to check out this thread. Some of the comments are great.
My mom gave me this turtle 15 years ago. On the bottom was a note. I try and always remember what she wrote when times are challenging. It is especially appropriate now. More than ever before. #Bastapic.twitter.com/TdJTRsleO0

BREAKING: DC area high school students have entered the US Capitol building, and are heading to Paul Ryan’s office to demand he pass legislation for gun reform now
Washington D.C.-area high school students entered the U.S. Capitol building this afternoon to demand that House Speaker Paul Ryan pass gun reform legislation. Several were arrested. Livestreaming now: https://t.co/3nfmiI67JL
We are nation being run by a party that will try absolutely anything to stop black people from voting and absolutely nothing to prevent school shootings.
Can we blame the pathology of white culture for the fact white men commit more mass shootings than other group in America? After all, right wingers have no qualms blaming the crimes committed by blacks on the pathology of black culture.
About time we do so. Maybe even call local police number (not 911) & call them for suspicious behavior of all those racists while walking, driving, & just because. Heard on car radio on way home that someone called 911 on a Black father who was pushing a stroller (his baby in said stroller) through a park in DC. He was simply taking his little one out, in a public park. Yup, you read that right. DC! So, now if you’re POC you can’t take your little one in a stroller to the park? These MoFo’s should be sued for everything they damn own. Only way, I’m beginning to think is the way to halt these critters. And make sure the court cases are seen everywhere. No more Mr. Nice Guy, etcetera. 😖
If a bartender who overserves a customer can be held liable for a drunk driver who kills someone, then the shooter’s dad who gave him the guns should be held liable for the shooting in Santa Fe.
Trump just disrespected his wife Melania in front of dozens of reporters – AGAIN. What kind of example is the republican president setting for our children?
These young white males that are drawn to white supremacy must be getting radicalized by their parents. Probably the same parents who are radicalized by Fox News and right wing talk radio.
It's #MeghanMarkle-mania in the news papers as Meghan and Doria are featured on the front page of every major newspaper in the UK, samples below! Our favourite headline is undoubtedly "I'm getting Harryed in the Morning" – well played @TheSunpic.twitter.com/6HmhM6oci1
All I ask is for all terrorists, bombers, murderers, assassins, wackos, neo-Nazis, militia, second amendment lovers, ISIS enthusiasts, deplorablesof the world, MAGA adepts to STFO tomorrow because I have a wedding to watch. My boss is preaching.
The “old” Joe Walsh who couldn’t get elected dog catcher now – and is basically shunned by most – is back, with his NRA-rated rhetoric. Of course, tweets like this could get him a job in the WH communications office. This guy has “issues,” and I’m not even including the child support he once owed his own family.
Talk about “a stretch”:
No. Santa Fe High School is now mourning their dead because Democrats have destroyed families & communities in this country. https://t.co/W3IpdVVegN
You are absolutely spot-on, J’OB. Joe Walsh is an asshole who needs to STFU. He should be reminded, over and over again, that Democrats did not force him to be a good for nothing deadbeat father. He alone, and his greedy self, is responsible for destroying his own family.
British commentator on CNN just said that the only official statement from the Royals about who was not attending mentioned the Obamas, since Harry and President Obama – and Michele – are close. Then he said, as if he knew, that “they declined” the invitation (meaning it was offered, sounds like) … so it wouldn’t be an embarrassment to the Royal Family since trump and others weren’t invited. If true, why are we not surprised by their dignity and class.
J’OB, I am not surprised about the Obama’s “dignity and class.” If it’s true that the Obamas were invited to Harry’s and Meghan’s wedding, I am sure the “Royals” must understand why the Obamas “declined” the invitation so as not to embarrass the Royal Family about not inviting Trump. For 8 years, the Obamas carried themselves with “dignity and class.” Most importantly, they always showed respect to the peoples and cultures of other countries.
One of the British commentators even mentioned the Obamas today, following coverage of Bishop Curry’s sermon. He said “they were there,” implying “in spirit” and in the messages of the day: love and coming together across artificial boundaries.
Meghan will be the very first Duchess of Sussex. The first and only former Duke of Sussex campaigned for the abolition of slavery. #royalwedding#positiveandexcellentchoice

Okay I admit I watched my first Royal Wedding & it was so lovely & upbeat… now I’m invested in this pair, looking forward to the good I’m thinking they’ll be doing in the world.
I’m sorry but I am just in love with Doria Ragland – the love and pride in her eyes, her grace and cool under considerable pressure, her vulnerable and beautiful humanity standing out like a lighthouse in a sea of royalty, entitlement and privilege ❤️❤️❤️ #RoyalWedding
Yes yes, the strength she showed to stand under so much pressure. As Harry and Meghan were saying their vows you could see Meghan’s mother in the background. The entire wedding was just so beautiful, I’m so happy for the both of them.
The royal wedding was the blackest thing that most of the people in the chapel had ever seen. Kudos to Meghan and Harry for showcasing this for themselves and for a global audience.

Thank you Dear God for President Obama and ForeverFLOTUS. Everything about them makes me smile and oh so happy.
grats idon!
Thanks Tally. I wish I knew how to add pictures 🙂
I just copy/pasted and it worked.
Thanks. I thought itwas complicated. I’ll try it.
You can only post pictures from FB or Twitter, not directly from your computer hard drive. 😦
Happiest of birthdays, Tally. Belated though are my wishe’s! ❤
Thank you so much Gazelle! 💖
Only in small town white rural America where white men are afraid of their shadow and need to carry a gun, feel they are discriminated against, and are constantly persecuted by minorities.
So lovely, so much grace……..a strong feminist and a gentle soul.
Truer words were never spoken:
“Spare us your thoughts and prayers and do your job”
Sweet Jesus, he speaks for us for his words are true!
yup
It’s almost an involuntary reaction, but very real nonetheless.
yes….
And then when you find out it’s not a POC, a huge wave of relief comes over you and makes you realize how crazy this all is. UGH.
I needed this laugh this afternoon.

And they wonder why we’re so angry
GGAIL, ‘White privilege” is so real despite all the denials.

In the voice of Forrest Gump: “box full of stupid”. 😎
There are good people in the world. This gives me hope.
I’d love to see this on TV w/out pundits commentaries, C-Span style. Or maybe PBS. Are they covering it?
Would love to hear choir w/out pundits’ noise.
The Royal Family have their own youtube channel for the event:

Talk about “a stretch”:
I abhor violence and it won’t solve our problems. However it is true that this asshole is an exception and needs a beating.
I abhor violence, too, and don’t like laughing at talk of a beating …
… but I made an exception in this case. 🙂 That old expression “You gotta laugh to keep from crying” came to mind. The guy’s NUTS.
You are absolutely spot-on, J’OB. Joe Walsh is an asshole who needs to STFU. He should be reminded, over and over again, that Democrats did not force him to be a good for nothing deadbeat father. He alone, and his greedy self, is responsible for destroying his own family.
With you on all that, nath!
I have this weird fantasy that PBO and Michelle will pop up at the wedding despite all the reports………WISHING….!!!!
I thought of that yesterday! Glad I’m in good company!

Meant to say ” … mentioned ONLY the Obamas,” per the commentator.
She looks magnificent!!

Sorry but I can’t resist. 🙂 🙂 🙂
What a wonderful wedding, everything is so beautiful and joyous.
I can’t believe I woke up at 4am PST and watched the whole wedding ceremony 😎
It was amazing, wonderful, fantastic…….how does one really describe it?!
It was beautiful 💕
The most poignant moment was the sermon delivered by the Rev Michael Curry…..POWERFUL….a speech for the world today…
the most fun moment was the expression of the page boys holding Meghan’s veil as they climbed the steps of the Cathedral….
The royal wedding was the blackest thing that most of the people in the chapel had ever seen. Kudos to Meghan and Harry for showcasing this for themselves and for a global audience.
