Parkland mass shooting survivor Anthony Borges was shot 5 times while barricading a door to save 20 lives. If the White House is inviting high school students to visit they should invite someone like him, an actual hero, instead of those racist MAGA kids from Covington Catholic.
Since Trump likes looking at pictures more than reading let’s make this easy...

Left: Hero
Right: Not heroes
Laura Ingraham originally broke the news about the visit, and now the White House is doing PR spin and denying the news, saying there is no visit (possibly because of the immediate blowback?).

FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME NFL PLAYERS ARE PROTESTING SOCIAL INJUSTICE NOT THE ANTHEM ITSELF.
So when we liberals scoff at the term “liberal media,” stuff like this tweet by CBS News is why. The mainstream media often adopts the framing used by Republicans and right-wing media instead of phrasing things in a more factual, objective way.
CBS finally got it right. Thank you. See, it’s not that hard to be fair and refrain from piggybacking on twisted right-wing narratives.

Barack Obama supporters picked him because he wanted to help people regardless of who they were.

Donald Trump supporters picked him because he wanted to hurt people who weren’t like them.

Why we pick our leaders says a lot about our ideology.
Obama: People with pre-existing conditions got health care. Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Gay marriage became legal. Affirmative action school policies.

Trump: Muslim ban. Family separation policy. LGBT discrimination. Sabotaging health care of poor/sick. Uptick in hate crimes.
The inclusive aim of Barack Obama and the discriminatory intent of Donald Trump became more than just campaign rhetoric. Have heard many conservatives say that Obama made race relations worse while claiming that Trump isn’t a bigot, but the facts say otherwise.

If Donald Trump tweeted that he runs a four-minute mile, Sarah Sanders would be like:

“The President happens to be one of the world’s elite distance runners. Unlike his predecessor, he doesn’t use his athleticism to showboat, which is why you never see him run.”
If Donald Trump tweeted that he painted the Sistine Chapel, Sarah Sanders would be like:

“The President invented time travel, went back to 1508, made his masterpiece, returned to the present, then destroyed the time machine after deciding it was a threat to the American people.”
If Donald Trump tweeted that he had the superpower to fly, Sarah Sanders would be like:

“The President can flap his arms at such a rate that it allows him to achieve lift off and soar through the sky. He only uses Air Force One due to safety precautions.”

It's been 5 months since the #Parkland massacre. On the 14th of the month I've been tweeting each of the portraits I drew.
Remembering #AlyssaAlhadeff.

"He was a very funny kid, outgoing and sometimes really quiet," wrote Miguel Duque, about his baby brother #MartinDuque.
What a disgrace for our country that students are murdered in school.
Remembering Martin, 5 months after his death.

Since the #Parkland shooting, news coverage of gun issues has dominated the headlines. Readers of the @HeraldTribune in #Sarasota #Florida might think they’re getting objective, unbiased reporting about gun issues.

Unfortunately, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
2) Lee Williams wears two hats at the Herald-Tribune. He’s not just a senior-level editor; he also serves as “Gun Writer.” Williams writes columns and articles on guns, producing @HeraldTribune-approved content for social media, a blog and a podcast.

I can. Their response feels contrived, whether natural or not. A lot of these kids instantly took to the media (or social media) to aggressively push for gun control when other school shootings haven’t instantly produced verified media stars and reactions. It warrants suspicion.
You’re not a ‘conspiracy theorist’ for noticing strange occurrences after #Parkland. The fake survivor accounts, @davidhogg111 boasting about viral online fame on YouTube, the clip of him appearing to forget rehearsed lines, marches being organized before funerals... Suspect.
It’s okay to ask questions. Don’t ever let the left tell you different.

I'm on the way to pick up my son from his bus stop and he calls me to calmly tell me that there was a shooting at his school and that he's fine.
He was so calm I thought it was a bad joke. But then I realized that's where all the sirens I've been hearing are coming from.
I don't know if he was so calm because he's shocked or if it's just normal to him. I'm not shocked at all. This has been my fear as a parent in the US. I've been drilling escape plans and quiet mode for your phone and hiding into his head for years.
