On top of everything else, it's a bit hard to believe that this is a statement from someone ostensibly paid to write for a living. Parts of it look like something Bart might write on a chalkboard.

I followed this account because I grew up in Nashville & care about what happens to Tennessee.
Hasan Piker did neither. I am not interested in swapping Trump's cult of personality for another one.
Unfollowing and muting and suggest others do the same.

PSA: The more they attack @hasanthehun, the more we’ll defend him. It’s our belief that is the only way to deal with this sort of dangerous, bad faith fascist bullying (coming from both Republicans and corporate Dems).

It would be very helpful to American (and the world's) political life were @klustout to compare Trump to Chiang Kai-Chek & his family members to Madame Chiang & Chiang Kung-Quo. And not just because America might have to "Unleash Chang" very soon.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the Democratic Party is still deeply ambivalent re: the question of whether the base it has is the base it wants, and Acton is not atypical by any means, certainly not radical.
unclear if she/her team understands that they need to convince people in her own party to vote for her, as well

The Right and Far Right are having a wonderful time with these events at #Ceuta, the autonomous territory of Spain on the North African coast, bordered by Morocco.
It's their manna from heaven. A prefect opportunity to create anti-migrant propaganda, fire up hate and attack the 'other'.

This day in history. 1980. At an Eagles concert in Long Beach Glenn Frey and Dan Felder argued furiously with Frey announcing after each song how many songs remained before he would kick Felder's ass. After the final song Felder smashed a guitar, climbed into a limo, and took a 14 year break.

ah, how remiss of you -- not describing the conduct the victim engaged in that caused her to be allegedly victimized! You should have done what THIS guy would do, which is ask her if she wasn't asking for it.
