I’m on a plane, just ended a heated phone conversation in Arabic in which the words “Hezbollah” & “daesh” were used, looked around at the horrified stares, realized I have a copy of @peterbergencnn’s “American Jihad” in my lap and every tab open on my computer is about terrorism

@SulomeAnderson @peterbergencnn Do terrorists often read up on the subject matter in their last moments of life?

NBC News: Survivor of Parkland school shooting, Sydney Aiello, kills herself.

In addition to PTSD and survivor guilt, I wonder how much crap she got from social media.

I’m a big fan. I want her to run right over Trump and the Republicans and barely even notice. Also (I hate to be saying this), the media are stupid.

«Warren is bursting with what we might call “charisma” in male candidates: She has the folksy demeanor of Joe Biden, the ferocious conviction of Bernie Sanders, the deep intelligence of fellow law professor Barack Obama.»

Well, then.

Nice. Strong response. 5,000+ replies.

Winning one election isn’t enough. Dems won in 2008 and then relaxed and let 2010 happen, and THAT was a Bad Move. It’s going to take a long effort to recover.

A year ago, I defeated six opponents to win the #IL14 primary. I now have four #IL14 opponents challenging me for 2020, and the GOP has targeted my district: they want this seat back. We have to fight like we did in 2018—and harder. Chip in today to help:

This Indiana active-shooter drill makes me think of war reenactors, and then comes a whole raft of other thoughts. (A call for volunteers has gone out at our workplace. WTH?)

This is not right. This is not beneficial in any fashion. It’s assault. It’s mentally traumatic. This is not something that should even be considered.

Get it together, Indiana. https://t.co/qsKM0KQE9U

Interesting. I get the feeling that sometimes people’s passions come from a darker place (or with a darker side) and sometimes that darkness shows through. But also, so many of our idols have clay feet, and our forward motion is only approximate (lotta zigzags).

«Many of Duca’s former coworkers see her as symptomatic of a bigger issue, and as just one of the many people that the Twitter Resistancesphere has elevated into something approaching true fame—and for whom fame is seemingly a bigger motivator than politics or social change.

“The whole thing has actually been very revealing for me,” one former co-worker said recently, with a note of resignation. “In terms of what traits are valorized and rewarded in the media, and the mainstream liberal resistance.”»

Craziness. I understand that grand juries (the ones that indict ham sandwiches) are empowered to inspect jails. I was on such a grand jury for six months in Orange County, North Carolina, and we were told that we had that power but please not to exercise it because the jails were fine and it would be a huge inconvenience.

  What are we doing to our children? @CBSNews reports sharp unexplained rises in #depression + #anxiety in American teens. Shouldn’t we ask whether these trends are associated with the neurotoxic aluminum we are giving young teens in Gardasil #vaccine?
