Corey Lewandowski, who said "womp womp" on national TV today regarding a 10-year old immigrant girl with Down Syndrome being taken from her mother, works for a PAC that gets donations from a company that owns private immigration detention facilities. docquery.fec.gov/pdf/060/201805…

Is this private prison company being sued for forcing its inmates to do the manual labor necessary to run their detention facilities at a low cost? Yes, yes it is. denverpost.com/2018/02/09/geo…

Rep. Steve Cohen complaining to the CEO of Google during a House Judiciary Committee meeting that he searched his own name, but didn't like the articles that came up, and then demanding Google do something about it is an absolutely perfect 2018 moment.
Rep. Jim Jordan followed up this insightful commentary by complaining that Google may have helped too many Latinos vote, making a strong, free-market conservative case for corporations not being allowed to directly intervene in politics.
On a related note, back in 2016, I asked a bunch of federal regulatory agencies if it was against their rules for a company, like Google, to slant its service to deliberately influence the outcome of an election. All of them said they didn't regulate that and had no idea who did.

And now a collection of death threats from the accused bomber's account that @TwitterSafety allowed on the service until earlier today
Hey @TwitterSafety are these death threats okay? Or is leaving them up a mistake?
What about these @TwitterSafety?

Going through the suspected bomber's apparent Twitter account, there are just hundreds of explicit, direct threats directed at politicians and journalists. The world be very different if Twitter and the government took these types of threats at all seriously.
Much of the account's content, like posting the same image attacking Parkland survivor David Hogg hundreds of times, can't help but raise questions about mental illness and the role social media played in exacerbating it.
It's far from definitive, but there is some research on this. The name, "Twitter Psychosis" is less than ideal, but the thesis here is worth considering. washingtonpost.com/news/the-inter…

1. As for voter suppression, it’s real. But never let a liberal complain about it without mentioning that voter suppression is *not why Democrats lose.* Democrats lose, because people who would most benefit from Democratic policies don’t vote.
2. Liberals are right to condemn GOP voting laws. They are immoral. But let’s not forget to put blame where it rightly belongs: in the laps of complacent Democratic voters.
3. The Times’ @DLeonhardt did the homework. He found that voter turnout has remained largely the same in midterms and presidential election years, despite the rise of repressive voter ID laws since 2012.

“I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE A HUMAN ANYMORE.”

Remember Cassandra C?

She was the 17 year old forced by the state to have chemo.

Everyone should know what forced treatment entails.

Excerpt from: NaturalNews.com naturalnews.com/050808_Cassand…
Cassandra was forced to take daily chemo under threats of 12 hour starvation—either she could take the chemo and eat...

...or be put on a 12 hr medical fast every day, knocked out, then chemo, and repeat for 5 months.

They also threatened to strap her down for 5 months.
The court agreed to the force partly based on the doctors’ testimony of how effective the chemo would be.

Below is an excerpt from “Judge: Cassandra C. Can't Go Home Amid Cancer Treatments” by Bill Briggs / Apr.01.2015 / NBC News
