Hong Kong protesters plan to create a 40-km-long human chain tonight, called #HongKongWay, a nod to the 1989 Baltic Way, a chain of 1m people who linked arms for 600 km linking capitals of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to protest Soviet rule.

David Koch wanted to abolish public schools, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and rent control. He financed groups that denied the research on climate change. He funded the Tea Party. And he used dark money to support right-wing causes and Republican candidates for office. https://t.co/x08wiaOh9p

The bizarro world we’re living in:

Donald Trump says stupid shit, bigoted shit, cruel shit, and dishonest shit every day, and he never apologizes for ANY of the shit he says, but…if anyone stands up against Trump, they immediately get attacked for the shit THEY’VE said.
