THE NEWSFEED COLUMN

I realized today that I could write an entire piece simply from the headlines in my Facebook newsfeed.

Daily Kos
And Donald Trump continues to rack up the endorsements.
Former KKK grand wizard David Duke: Trump ‘understands the real sentiment of America” (read story here)
WIWU: #No not one America, one racist, watches one station does not think for themselves America. Trump does not speak for me.

Daily Kos
So troubling the lack of national media attention this story has received. A Lynching? 17 year old black teen found hanging in NC mobile park – FBI investigating. (read story here)
WIWU [“more coverage by The Guardian than US papers,”] there is a lot of that recently, thanks to our media outlets being owned almost exclusively by corporations, read 1%

The New York Times
All of these neighbors were strangers until they met on Facebook. "Now I am obligated to speak to everyone when I leave the house."
Italian neighbors build their own social network, online and off. (read here)
WIWU Now this is an idea that I could get behind, especially for those living in large housing complexes.

And finally for today we come full circle from the Donald to JB.

Think Progress
What exactly does he mean when he says "women's health"?
Jeb Bush: Planned Parenthood shouldn’t get ‘a penny’ because they’re not ‘doing women’s health’. (read story here)
WIWU: Let’s step even further out on the lake shall we Jeb?
Keep attacking women and you will stand even less of a chance of moving into the White House than you do now.
