#Israel: CPJ is alarmed by the Israeli government decision to suspend advertising with @Haaretz, following remarks by the paper's publisher.

Yuh. This is the riptide of fear that’s been catching at my legs all day.

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

A lot of us have been studying this and warning about it, but it’s uncomfortable. Unpleasant. We are dealing with a cult of power and it is going to accelerate in a way that I don’t think people are prepared for.

People have been in active denial. There’s no time for that now.

BREAKING: The Associated Press reports the gunman pointed a rifle at an officer who discovered him on the rooftop, before the officer 'retreated down the ladder' and Crooks then 'quickly took a shot toward' Trump.

You are such a fuckin loser man. You constantly pour kerosene on the fire of America politics.

You are the worst of Oklahoma and we all suffer for knowing you.

In the next few days we’re going to be blitzed by messianic rhetoric coupled with calls for retaliation that run the gamut from veiled to overt.

It’s going to be an incredibly dangerous time. Be safe. Be vigilant. And take care of yourselves.

Read @yabutaleb7 on Dearborn's mayor.
When he first ran, "Hammoud’s father told him in Arabic: 'Don’t forget your name is Abdullah Hammoud.' He didn’t think it was possible for an Arab and Muslim to win elected office in America."
