motherjones:

Sen. Mitch McConnell just posted this to his Facebook page, upon the defeat of the watered-down Manchin-Toomey background checks compromise.

On an unrelated note: There were 151 victims of mass shootings in 2012. Here are their stories.

The way Republicans think they’re being all cute and clever by using internet stuff makes my skin crawl. HAHA MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE BECAUSE THE NRA FUNDS OUR ELECTIONS, LOLZOMG!

I keep thinking about the kid who died today in the bombings. I wonder what he liked. I wonder what his hobbies were. I wonder how excited he was to see the race. I wonder if he was looking forward to something, like an upcoming summer trip or maybe a weekend treat.

He had no clue he was going to die today. He couldn’t even conceptualize that possibility.

I wonder what he could’ve accomplished, who he would’ve grown up to be.

I hope whoever ended his life fries.

Why do you think it was a terrorist attack in Boston? Because the MEDIA told you?! I'm sorry - Yes it's tragic. Yes it's could be a terrorist attack. But think of who owns the media(corporations. politicians.)& think about what else is going on in our country right now. It's like 9-11. They need to create that patriotic fervor, the false "togetherness" in the nation to stop revolutions that could threaten their billions and bring real change. Yes it's awful, but just think about that. Namaste.

Are you claiming that Boston was a false flag? If so, I would like you to unfollow me and never message me again.

One of the people killed in the terrorist attack today was an 8-year-old child.

dionthesocialist — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 18:32:51 -0400

Fuck. Seriously. Just fuck.

Do you have a source for the media confirmation on the terrorist attack? I live in Boston and can't find confirmation of it.

dionthesocialist — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 18:15:24 -0400

The presence of it being an IED presumes terrorist attack.

I always feel a little better when Barack Obama addresses the nation after a tragedy.

Media confirms: This was a terrorist attack

BUT THE FBI DOES NOT KNOW IF IT IS DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN

THEY

DO

NOT

KNOW

NO ONE IS IN CUSTODY.

On that note, they’re also saying that the devices were crudely made, meaning the terrorist(s) who committed this act was not a “professional” or “experienced” terrorist. I would therefore guess this wasn’t Al Queda or the Taliban.

Preemptive Reminder

Muslims were injured today.

Conservatives were injured today.

Gun owners were injured today.

White people were injured today.

Immigrants and foreigners were injured today.

Christians were injured today.

Atheists were injured today.

Whenever we do figure out who did this, and we will bring them to justice because it’s what we do, remember that they are not representatives of any generalized group. The only thing they represent is violence, hatred, and scare tactics. Do not judge ANYONE based off of who decided to commit an act of terrorism today.

I haven’t confirmed this source for myself, but apparently Boston local news is reporting that the explosion at the JFK library was a bomb and it is related to the bombings at the Boston Marathon.

Edit: Boston Police are now saying the incident at the JFK library is not related to the Boston Marathon bombings.

WBZ Boston Local News (I live in downtown Boston).

Well fuck.

the jfk explosion was just confirmed a bomb. it is related to the other two explosions. it's on the news right now.

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 17:21:43 -0400

Source?

The library

dionthesocialist — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 17:13:19 -0400

Clearing this up, the JFK library is saying its explosion was caused by a mechanical fire, but the police are investigating it as an explosion on relation to the ones are the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

The fire at the JFK library was unrelated and mechanical.

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 17:05:36 -0400

The police chief called it an explosion. My wording was poor though. I didn’t mean to imply that JFK explosion was definitely a bombing. I was referring to the first two explosions.

It’s been confirmed that the explosions were due to explosive devices, and also that a third...

The media are trotting out their counter-terrorism experts, all while claiming they’re not trying to label the explosions as a terrorist attack.

Uh, you’re doing it wrong. Report on this responsibly. Don’t scare people unnecessarily. Double check everything. Don’t report rumors as news.

Ugh, hoping for the best for the people of Boston.

Teachers don't know what the world is like any how, you spend your whole life in school learning perfect grammar and about the war when you don't even know about countries around you, aka the one above you. So maybe next time you decide to bash someone maybe think, hey they have been through something and they have had the courage to get through it and the strength. Maybe instead of being in your classroom, take a day or two and learn about the demons in the world.

That awkward moment when you realize every complaint economists have against bitcoin can be made about traditional currency as well. Oh, so bitcoin is volatile and lacking in intrinsic value because its only as valuable as we all agree it is, and its tendency to fluctuate encourages hoarding by a small percentage of holders?

Nope, that’s not like regular money at all. Not a bit. Nuh uh. Regular money is totes super different.
