Acts of political violence are characteristic of authoritarian regimes and dictatorships – not strong democracies.
Violence of any kind has no place in our society and we must all condemn it. Especially when it comes from the President.

ORGANIZED RELIGION is detrimental to the well being of women and girls....
Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.
They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.
Truly chilling, from @jlussenhop.bsky.social & Andy Mannix

Philadelphia’s Reading Terminal Market is one of my top 5 favorite places on Earth.
Established in 1893 and offering produce, meats, desserts and more, ranging from Lancaster County to Philly, to international fares, Reading Terminal is the largest indoor farmer’s market in the United States. 🦅 🔔 🇺🇸

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

Remove all the Black and Latino votes from Trump and he still wins—because of white people.

“Not all white Americans” voted for Trump—but “white America” overwhelmingly did. You folks’ struggle to understand how collective nouns work, is really something.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
