1. Steve King has a long history of racism and recently embraced white supremacy in the pages of the New York Times.

But did you know there is a high-ranking DEMOCRAT who is still collaborating with King?

House Agriculture Chairman @collinpeterson

@collinpeterson 2. .@collinpeterson has co-sponsored King's new bill to effectively block a California law which would require all eggs sold in the state to be cage-free

King is featuring his partnership with Peterson on his website as proof his agenda is "bipartisan"

popular.info/p/steve-kings-…
3. I contacted several members of Peterson's staff and asked if, in light of King's comments on white supremacy to the NYT, Peterson would continue continue to collaborate with King.

I received no response

1. It's important to understand that the 2000 mile border wall is not Trump's idea.

It is Steve King's idea. How do I know? I wrote about it 13 YEARS AGO.

King went to the House floor and actually constructed a model wall.

2. Here is what King said July 11, 2006: "So when I get down there and sit on that border, what I do is I come to this conclusion, we can’t shut that off unless we build a fence and a wall. I want to put the fence in, but I want to put a wall in, and I designed one. "
3. More King (7/11/06): "Our little construction company could build a mile a day of this pretty easily, once you’ve got your system going. The whole two thousand miles are not going to work that way, but a lot of it will work this way"

The government is shut down because Trump wants to build Steve King’s wall
IDEA: Stop letting a Congressman who openly embraced white supremacy to set the nation’s policy agenda
LISTEN UP WHITE SUPREMACISTS: There is no place for you in Republican Party except co-chair of a major presidential campaign, chair of a prestigious subcommittee, support from the POTUS, and setting the policy agenda for the entire party

Okay, folks, a short thread on dealing with diabetes (Type 2)

1. I am not offering medical advice, just sharing my experience that has enabled me be diabetes free for months on end.
2. You need to seek medical advice from a diabetologist/endocrinologist. They will run some tests to know what kind of diabetes they are dealing with and whether there are other issues like high BP or cholesterol
3. For me, from the beginning my doctors were clear that I should be off medication in a few months from diagnosis. I was diagnosed in an emergency situation where I collapsed and spent a few days in ICU, HDU and general ward

Here's a reader suggestion from @_mattl - with so many people calling each other a 'quisling', what does that actually mean? Well, here's a brief overview of the man whose name has become synonymous with 'traitor'. /1
Vidkun Quisling was born in Norway in 1887. Relatively comfortable childhood, went and served in the military, got posted to the Soviet Union as a diplomat, then the Ukraine (where he met two of his wives). After the dust of WW1 settled, he went back to Norway... /2
At first he flirted with communism - just like a few other famous right-wing leaders - then increasingly found himself drawn to right-wing politics. He poured his holdings into setting up reactionary right-wing movements to fight Bolshevism. /3

He said:

As soon as I opened the gate
I heard their cry
My children, all five of them, crying like urchins
I parked the car
What could have happened?
The darkness was thick
It was one of such nights
No electricity, no moon
I grabbed the snacks I bought for them
I ran inside
I found them in the sitting room
Eyes red, voices cracked, pain everywhere
I put on the lantern
Where is your Mummy?
My first child starred at me, lost
They were starving, they were scared
I begged them and made food
They slept
I paced the floor all night
The next day I ran to the police station
Filed a missing person’s report
I started calling friends and relatives
Where could my wife be?
Everything was upside down
My children aged 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 were distabilized
Chaos everywhere
and I had to work!

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.

Okay guys, I know how difficult this is, but in light of this new information I think it needs to be said.

"The list of failures of leadership and training under Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel continues to grow." ⬇️⬇️

It's awful. I know.
redstate.com/sarah-rumpf/20…
No, we don't know exactly what's going on.

But Broward County sheriff Scott Israel's ties to Roger Stone have to be mentioned.
Stone's stepson works for Scott Israel.

Additionally, "when Israel took the sheriff's helm in early 2013, in the first five months he added to BSO's payroll Stone's book-writing partner, Stone's book publicist and Stone's long-time executive assistant."
