Yet more evidence of how #Flock makes different claims around data use and ownership depending on who they are talking to. The "anonymized data" use contract clauses are hugely problematic!

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.
Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

Tomorrow, the Senate will vote to either save the ACA tax credits or not.
This will determine if premiums will skyrocket for millions of Americans.
Pay attention to see if Republicans vote to help or hurt regular Americans.
