Also heartbreak that they have to report on an incident with their own people and building.

Fuck them all, evil assholes. They want to gut social safety nets and then say they give two fucks about keeping families together. Fucking fuck. I can't. I hope they all come to the realization of how disgusting their policies are and live the rest of their lives with gut wrenching guilt about the lives they are destroying. I hope they never sleep because they are so full of regret and guilt. I should probably go deal with my feels.

I'm seeing some genuinely dangerous stuff on Twitter right now. I'm not going to repeat it here but it's propaganda that could incite violence. I'm unsettled.

Hannity is blaming Maxine Waters for inciting the shooting.
And so it begins.

I can't. The same people who decried Maxine Waters for "inciting violence" are now playing innocent and swearing that Trump never invited violence.

I feel like I need to do something active today. I've been noodling around an idea about starting a nonprofit (or business? I don't know yet if a NP would be legal here) where parents can send their kids to get comprehensive sex education since Indiana is abstinence only ed. Is that a totally awful idea? Anyways, I texted a school admin friend about it because I think she could help me formulate lesson plans. I know a ton of nurses and even an RE who might be interested in participating. I would probably openly hope to be put out of business though, so that might not be the world's best business plan. Lol. I'm a thousand years late, but a good friend of mine worked here for a long time (and still works in the sex ed policy space.) If you aren't familiar with them yet, it might give you some direction/resources. www.siecus.org

I have a friend that was at the protest today too. They were just supposed to be able to pay their fines and then go back home, but apparently they are being required to appear In court in person. They (law enforcement) probably think that will act as a deterrent for future protests. At least it sounds like the organization is taking good care of them.

Hey friends, it looks like Move on are still accepting applications for Resist and Win leaders in various districts. I think we have a lot of really dedicated civic activists on this board and wanted to share the link for anyone who wants to submit an application!

The shooting suspect’s identity somehow got out, preliminary reports are saying it’s someone who has a history with the paper, he sued them in 2012 and lost, after they reported on harassment charges against him. He made threats against them on social media before carrying out the attack.
I’m not saying his name because 1, police haven’t confirmed it yet, and 2, well fuck that guy if it’s him.

Maxine Waters had to cancel events in Texas and Alabama because of serious death threats.

I have been in a really dark place about the state of our country for a while now. The last two days have been especially rough. I’m ready to protest and call and take every action I can, by I still feel hopeless. I honestly think we’re headed for a civil war, and I think that’s exactly the goal for a lot of the right.

Wait. What? “Say hello to your boy,” Mr. Trump said. “Special guy.” Mr. Trump was apparently referring to Justice Kennedy’s son, Justin. The younger Mr. Kennedy spent more than a decade at Deutsche Bank, eventually rising to become the bank’s global head of real estate capital markets, and he worked closely with Mr. Trump when he was a real estate developer, according to two people with knowledge of his role. During Mr. Kennedy’s tenure, Deutsche Bank became Mr. Trump’s most important lender, dispensing well over $1 billion in loans to him for the renovation and construction of skyscrapers in New York and Chicago at a time other mainstream banks were wary of doing business with him because of his troubled business history. www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/us/politics/trump-anthony-kennedy-retirement.html

Robert Hiaasen was one of the people killed in Annapolis yesterday. It was his wife's birthday. She wrote a statement:
I don't work in newspapers but as an editor who loves words and the ocean I am crying real tears this morning. Even after all we've been and are going through, this has hit me very hard. It could have been me. It could have been any of us.
