"We know nothing of what's in the Mueller report, but we have opinions. We have lots of opinions and YOU BETTER TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY!"

Facts should come before opinions. But, noooo.....

And you who amplify this nonsense take some responsibility for what you pass along.

Cars are more than twice as dangerous as guns.

Our government's evil continues, this time imprisoning a 9 year old and attempting to coerce a lie from her in order to convict those she was with of a crime they were not guilty of. https://reason.com/blog/2019/03/22/border-agents-detained-a-9-year-old-us-c

Lock-down/Active shooter drills are NOT about safety. These simulated execution rituals are conducted for fear-based mass social control purposes to traumatize, instill fear, hopelessness, personal dis-empowerment, reliance on authority figures to save and protect you. https://twitter.com/ISTAmembers/status/1108461641400807424

This is unspeakably evil.

ICE just told a 10 year old girl appearing at a supervision appointment with her father, that ICE plans to deport her father and give her to a new family. She is unconsolable. ICE instructed dad to bring all of her documents so they can give her away. What would you do?

"I do not see how this could have happened, therefore there must be a God and He must have done it."

This is not a valid proposition.

There's a really long thread here, but worth the time.

Most people who argue do so only for self-gratification, not to understand or persuade others. This, unfortunately, is as pervasive a problem among libertarians, including anarchists, as it is with everyone else. Once I know I'm dealing with this sort, I just walk away.

This is like laughing over an absolutely ridiculous accident where someone gets hurt. You don't *want* to laugh, but it is *soooo* ridiculous....

@DevinCow A little poetic justice.

Hopefully the real sort will follow shortly, with the congresscreature having his suit tossed out of court with an order to pay his victims' legal fees.

I usually tweet about government misconduct. For a change, here appears to be that rare bird, cops who refused to violate constitutional rights. https://reason.com/blog/2019/03/19/majority-of-an-oklahoma-sheriffs-office

Do evil, cause evil. "Thousands of migrant children allegedly suffered sexual abuse while in U.S. government custody over the past four years, according to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) documents" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/thousands-of-migrant-children-were-sexually-abused-in-u-s-custody-hhs-docs-say/?fbclid=IwAR1u5-jVo_g4jA9BEqM588ILn_Npegg3mVAZfDwxNWOdsTCBQid62SK5gjM&ftag=CNM-00-10aab6a&linkId=64101105

Every time a police officer is accused of doing on the job something that would be a crime for a private citizen, every bit of evidence concerning the act, including the officer's name and his disciplinary record, should be released immediately, with no censorship.

Ideology does not *make* a person do whatever he does. And, to the extent that it influences a person's actions, one must remember that ideologies are learned--and therefore can be rejected. At the root of all action is choice and so a person is responsible for all his actions.

@Solonthethinker@twitter.com @sbarneyeku@twitter.com A nation doesn't lose its liberty because the government takes it, it loses it because the people no longer want it. The America envisioned by the Founders no longer exists, as the people no longer want liberty and have ceded their right to live to their government.
