Vanessa Trump: I'm Sending My Kids To Summer Camp
Her tweet is being bombarded with replies that call her tone deaf and accuse her of deliberating trolling liberals who are upset about her (for the moment) father-in-laws policy of holding migrant children in cages.
Several high-profile right wingers have publicly compared the DOJs detention centers to summer camps, among them hate group leader Tony Perkins and Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham.
UPDATE: Vanessa Trump deleted the tweet before I could even finish this post and provide some of the replies

At least she saw sense - but how the hell can you be so tome deaf????
EU votes for copyright law that would make internet a 'tool for control'
Source: The Guardian
A European parliament committee has voted for legislation that internet pioneers fear will turn the web into a tool for surveillance and control.
In a key vote on a draft law to overhaul EU copyright rules, the parliaments legal affairs committee on Wednesday voted for measures that would require the likes of Google and Microsoft to install filters to prevent users from uploading copyrighted materials.
The MEPs voted narrowly for the provision, despite warnings from some of the biggest names in the internet, and civil liberties campaigners, that the law would damage freedom of expression, while entrenching the power of the biggest companies and loading costs on to European startups.
The plans still have to be agreed with representatives from the EUs 28 governments before becoming law, but the vote reduces the chances of serious changes.

Why do so many governing authorities think the interwebs belong to them?!?!
Notorious Trump-loving pastor forced to take down 'America is a Christian nation' billboard
The city made Robert Jeffres, who pastors First Baptist Dallas, remove their sign after a negative news reports.
The Dallas Morning News published two articles calling the sign hateful and divisive, and Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings was quoted in the article agreeing with the statements.
The articles were then sent to Outfront Media, who created the billboard, and the company decided to remove the billboard. Outfront Media also canceled their contract with the church.

American humans enjoy final day of having rights
It is understood that Mr Trump is angry with the council because it has been defending the basic human right of a child not being separated from its parents, and separating children from their parents is currently one of Mr Trumps favourite things to do.
There are also said to be other basic human rights that Mr Trump has objections to, like the right not to be shot in school as enshrined in Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.
------------------
However, President Trump has claimed that although he wants to leave the UN Council on Human Rights, he still fully believes in human rights.
I think human rights are a good thing, a very good thing. A very important thing, he confirmed.
Theyre just not for everyone.

Charlottesville Police Department Worker Thanks 'Crying Nazi' Chris Cantwell For His Support
I imagine you guys are getting a bunch of calls about a bunch of communists who want you to release people. Ive got to tell you, jail is too good for these people. They ought to be put through a wood chipper and Im glad you guys are cleaning up the streets, Cantwell said in the recording.
Well, thats awesome, the operator said. Thanks for your support.
Youve got a communist problem in that city and they have to feel law and order or things are going to get worse, Cantwell said.
Well actually, were due for another doozy here in August, she said, referring to alt-right activist Jason Kesslers plan for an anniversary rally.
After the call ended, Cantwell said, So there you have it, folks. The cops in that city know who the problem is. They knew who the problem was last August and, sadly, theyre handcuffed by the politics of the thing.

'Do You Hear the Babies Crying?': DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen Shouted Down in Mexican Restaurant
Several people recognized the anti-immigrant Cabinet official and began filming. Quickly their numbers grew and in the middle of the restaurant they started shouting at her, asking how dare she appear in public when "over 10,000" migrant children whose parents have been arrested and detained are currently being housed by the federal government in internment camps.
"How can you enjoy a Mexican dinner as you're deporting tens of thousands of people seeking asylum in the United States?"

Actions - consequences. Everyone of the people involved in this need to be reminded that they will never be accepted by civilised society again.....
