A Bernie Sanders volunteer attempted to assassinate republican legislators, successfully shooting one, now a San Fran area anti Trumper attempts to knife/kill a republican candidate.

We don't preserve our democratic Republic through trying to murder each other. Perhaps the constant hysteria should tone down.

@trayofbees You're turning the poll results into fake news! I think that's a change I could believe in.

@trayofbees
I get lots of polling calls. I HAVE had casks from Rasmussen, my local major metropolitan newspaper, and other serious looking companies, but it's mostly "blah dee blah researching". I won't answer those.

Of course I wouldn't answer the newspaper anymore after they followed up with an interview and misquoted me on the front page of the paper in election coverage once.

Ah thanks, makes sense.

@trayofbees
True... I had unfollowed for those reasons. Lots of dupes. Did that already get tweaked?

" China’s government is ratcheting up a crackdown on Christian congregations in Beijing and several provinces, destroying crosses, burning bibles, shutting churches and ordering followers to sign papers renouncing their faith, according to pastors and a group that monitors religion in China."

" All of China’s officially recognized religions appear to have been affected by the crackdown. In the most extreme example, an estimated 1 million Uighurs and other members of Muslim minority groups in the country’s northwest have been arbitrarily detained in indoctrination camps where they are forced to denounce Islam and profess loyalty to the Communist Party."

@Shrak
Is the article saying that opposition to socialism makes one a far right white supremecist? It says the trend is anti racist, racial uplift and civil rights progress... Doesn't seem extremist. Is the article just calling anyone who isn't an advocate or socialist ideas an extremist?

"the far-right is trying to broaden its appeal from a whites-only movement in a multiracial America, so it is 'laying claim to the ideas of anti-racism, racial uplift, and civil-rights progress.'"
