Reminder (mostly to my folks) that we live in _interesting times_ and you should do your own research on anything you read.

Trace the sources. Look up related incidents.

And if Ian Miles Cheong said it, it& #39;s probably in bad faith.
Dallas machete guy was a dorkass kid playing vigilante, and the aggressor in that scenario. IMC portarayed him as a victim, and by the time the truth came out, his audience had made up their minds.
The SRV statue was tagged with "FTP" graffiti, but that happened 3 weeks before the discourse about taking down statues, and it was cleaned up less than 24 hours later. IMC brought it up 3 weeks later to agitate in light of the statue discourse, and got Ted Cruz to RT.
Ian Miles Cheong is a foreign agitator who has the ear of many Republicans here on Twitter, and that is dangerous.
(This is a message to my folks, but maybe also to you and your folks. Do the modicum of research before getting outraged about a Thing, because you& #39;re probably being played. Probably by IMC.)
Anyway, it& #39;s great that Gl*nn*r was suspended but st*llgr*y is a bigger problem.
This dorkass:
(Reminder that Ian Miles Cheong lives in Malaysia and is a foreign agitator to both the US and UK.)
(This isn& #39;t xenophobia or racism, just in case you& #39;re wondering. This is pointing at an internet troll who somehow got the ear of a lot of US politicians, especially Ted Cruz.)
(Also, @tedcruz, why are you a leader of my state, you monumental dorkass.)
Love to be in America, where at least I know I& #39;m free to @ senators.
