Some have asked why I keep calling out the bullying, smears, and dishonesty from Hogg.

It's bc CNN, which has turned into a one-sided activist platform on this issue, continues to promote him at the expense of reasonable voices (including the families of Parkland victims)
For further details, I'll refer you to the links here:

A lot of liberals have said to me that Hogg's language is unhelpful and inappropriate, but I should just ignore it. The problem is that's impossible when the media gives him a daily platform and constantly promotes him.

You problem should be with CNN...

Exactlt the type of dishonest reporting that I was referring to. The headline is indisputably false.

1) It focuses on relative conviction rates in Texas (conviction rates do not equal crimes rates, esp among illegal populations)

2) It intentionally ignores certain crimes.
50-60% of illegal immigrants in the U.S. committed the crime of illegal entry (though Visa overstays have been trending up). That alone makes it impossible for the headline to be true. On top of that, many commit crimes like id and benefit theft, but are never caught/prosecuted.
A lot of illegal immigrants have to use fraudulent documents to get work. Of course you can certainly argue the necessity of doing so and mitigating circumstances, but just dishonest to exclude those crimes to fit this narrative.

Border security is immoral. ICE should be defunded. Gov't funded green new deal, jobs guarantee, Medicare for all. 70% income tax brackets. Support for BDS.

Add in Trumpian style ignorance, arrogance, dishonesty, and demagoguery.

Is this really the direction Dems want to go?
People ask why R's want to talk about AOC? it's because media is promoting her as representative of the Dem direction and she makes for a great foil. R's are happy to run against this stuff.
Of course what's best for the Republican Party isn't what's best for the country. The country is much better served by Democrats moving in the complete opposite direction, but that's up to them.

Acosta is such an embarrassment to his network and fellow reporters. Has he ever asked a substantive question?

He’s literally just framing insults as questions. I’m sure partisans will cheer it on, but it’s not productive or consistent with his role.
What substance can you get from “will you promise the President will tell the truth tonight?” It’s an attack, not a question. And after she called him out, he followed it up with more insults.

You can’t complain about being labeled the opposition when you behave like it.
And you don’t need to like Trump or Conway to recognize how inappropriate his behavior is as a WH correspondent. Can you ever imagine Tapper asking a question like that?

On Monday, in a memo published to the FCC website, chair Ajit Pai admitted “half-million comments” on net neutrality were “submitted from Russian e-mail addresses.” Pai had earlier denied Russian involvement. @theweeklylist.org
The memo also indicated thatover half of the almost 22 million comments came from phony, temporary, or duplicate email addresses, and reportedly only 17.4% of the comments were unique.
Pai also rejected two Freedom of Information Act requests filed byNYT and BuzzFeed, seeking “IP addresses” and “server logs,” respectively, associated with public comments submitted on net neutrality. @theweeklylist.org

I want to tell you guys a story about how it all started #10YearsALearner #10YALpodcast
In 2008, I worked as a PR and marketing executive at an event and image consulting company in VI and I was treated well. But I wanted more. I wanted a bigger challenge so I told Kely dear friend and inspiration @iamtheOsagie #10YearsALearner #10YAL
@iamtheOsagie 2 weeks later.. I got a call from @iamtheOsagie and that was the beginning of an adventure…

O: Hey Godwin. Are you still bored?
Me: lol… You have something for me?
O: Would you like to manage an artist?
me: Who?
O: His name is MI
me: ok… send music

1/ Vancouver #DykeMarch website hacked (by a transwoman, apparently.) Website vancouverdykemarch.com is now offline. Problem is, when #transwomen take over women's spaces, they don't know when to stop. It was not enough to take over organizing the march. medium.com/@ms.liz.mars/c…
2/ It's not enough for trans-identified males to take over the march and kick out anyone who their spies identified as a #terf. Now they are going after those who did not do enough to forcibly remove #lesbians from #dykemarch.
3/ Next they will go after those who did not do enough to forcibly remove the ones who did not do enough to forcibly remove #lesbians from #dykemarch. Wait and watch.

Secretary Pompeo LIVE in Congress in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
This is pretty awful so far
Some dummy is saying that KJU is more dangerous under Trump and we are weaker for the KJU/Trump summit and Pompeo looks incredulous 😂. He is the only reason I'm sticking around for this hearing for any time at all

you know how us academics are always going on about the corporatization of the university? it's because under capitalism and currently existing neoliberal capitalism especially, this is literally what people think of education: it's only there to make you a more valuable laborer
Democrats are just as guilty of this as the Republicans. remember how Clinton's plan for dealing with student loan debt was to implement forgiveness programs for entrepreneurs?
this is a problem deeply embedded within the current mainstream political mindset. it is absolutely a symptom of capitalist ideology attempting to shut down social organs that perpetuate what it sees as "inefficient" or "unproductive" activity.

An observation:

Most Americans are so woefully politically illiterate that they genuinely think "leftist" and "liberal" and "socialism" and "communism" are synonyms.

Left-right is one dimension of ideology.

Liberal-conservative is a completely different dimension.
Intellectualist-Populist is the other big ideological dimension. There are more, of course, but these three allow you to visualize a three-dimensional ideological space that is far more meaningful than the compressed one-dimensional left-right spectrum.
In other words, most people have trouble conceptualizing more than three dimensions, so let's stick to three.

And, let's be frank, some people have trouble with three. Or two.
