Note that ISIS is being called a "terrorist group" here despite the content of the story.




Advice from the Democratic National Committee:

No mention of the DNC being called a terrorist group despite telling party faithful 
to risk their well-being (or possibly their lives) to support a corporate function 
masquerading as small-d democracy. Read Bruce Spiva's quote to the court if you doubt 
that corporate party primaries are meaningful to select a corporate party standards 
bearer. They're not. They never have been. Party bosses go along with them only 
insofar as the election outcome agrees with what the bosses want.

And relatedly, for those of you who can't get your messages out through social media: 
keep in mind that establishment figures like the Democrats apparently have no problem 
getting their bad (possibly lethal) advice out now whether through their own account 
or through one of their establishment media partners (NPR, Disney networks, Comcast 
networks, likely any cable channel you can get, etc.). Consider what this means every 
time you read/hear that some repeater site wants to do something to keep you from 
reading fake news or in some way "protect" you from dangerous advice.
