Oh, America I say and I say it again.
You’ve been had.
Ya been took.
Ya been hoodwinked.
Bamboozled.
Led astray.
Run amok.

Today was an emotional day for victims and survivors of image-based abuse in Australia. The fight has been difficult and long for everyone involved. It has passed through the House, now it has moved to the Senate and this could soon be the law of the land. #imagebasedabuse

It is a human rights violation to separate children from parents, as ICE has done.
This admin continues to keep children from their parents. Sexual assault and abuse is not uncommon in ICE detention, either.
This is a moral crisis. And we must address it.nyti.ms/2zMFq1n

‘That was a total witch hunt.’ Thank you very much, everybody.’
These were literally the last words uttered by President Trump at the Helsinki press conference.
Quote Tweet
BREAKING: President Trump claims he misspoke while discussing election meddling during news conference with Putin: "In a key sentence in my remarks, I said the word 'would' instead of 'wouldn't.' ... The sentence should've been: 'I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be Russia'"

Dear GOP:
Never, NEVER, use the word patriots to describe yourselves.
Not after your surrender to Russia's brazen cyberattack, your COMPLICITY, your assault on the FBI and on our intel community.
Hide your heads in shame.

Shameful.

I never thought I would see the day when our American President would stand on the stage with the Russian President and place blame on the United States for Russian aggression. This is shameful.
Patriotism.

Trump was a traitor today. I cannot & will not support a traitor.
No decent American should.
Today we find out for sure which Trump-enablers were merely misguided patriots...
And which ones are happy to see it all burn.

Today in America, Amazon deals, discount teddy bears, and a million other trifles will again distract from the coup taking place before the world in broad daylight, while Putin continues his final acquisition.

Today. In broad daylight (yet under the cover of secrecy) Trump meets with his master -
aided and abetted by a GOP that has proven itself supremely motivated to prioritize special and self interests above the interests of the American people.

Today. America learns what it means to think bigly. You don’t know the Art of the Deal until you’ve leveraged your entire nation for personal profit.

I rarely ask for help but I’m asking now. We need to pressure the govt to reunite families NOW by using a single staging area approach. This can be solved but they need to act immediately before time and distance permanently destroys families. Please trend #SingleStagingAreaNow

In reporting online abuse, do not "minimize victims’ experiences by suggesting that digitally mediated harm is less serious or less real than physical harm.
The reality of the emotional, professional, and interpersonal impact of this harm ... must be made explicitly clear."
