The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

I have long covid. I don't want my children to ever have to experience what I go through. I am disgusted by the lack of respect for science by this administration.
HEINOUS—Trump HHS’s RFK Jr just ended US recommendation that healthy pregnant women & kids receive COVID vaccines. 📌Extraordinary move that bypasses scientific system of vaccine guidelines from CDC!! Kids & women are not immune to Long COVID!

This image of FBI agents arresting Judge Hannah Dugan will go down in history as a turning point.
Shame on every Republican enabling this. Your complicity will be remembered.

Turn off Face ID on your phones — passcode ONLY — and stay safe Wisconsin comrades.
Unofficially there’s word folks are heading to the MKE Federal Building/Courthouse (517 E Wisconsin Ave) as of 10:30am today.

It’s always best to exercise caution and go with a trusted friend/comrade, if you’re able!
Just got off the phone with congresswoman Moore’s office…
Is there anything else we can do? Are we going to protest this?

I'm mad about all of this. The worst timeline.
I don't know what's more upsetting, Donald Trump crashing the national economy with tariffs because he's a jerk, or that he is making me agree with Rand Paul that he's crashing the national economy with tariffs.

People need to realize the filibuster wasn’t meant to have a practical effect but to be a symbol and a rally point. Beating Thurmond’s record isn’t a hollow victory at all.
People keep saying Senator Booker's filibuster was meaningless and people who were moved by it are naive and gullible but I lived and organized in a south where this record stood and slavery and Jim Crow cast a long shadow and I tell you Booker taking that record means something.
In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

is right. You can humiliate and fire us. But we will not stay down. Because we truly believe in our mission. We fight for people. We fight for kids. For the right to survive and the hope to thrive.

Goodnight friends. Get some rest.

Senator Booker broke Senator Thurmond’s record for the longest speech on the Senate floor. Thurmond used his time to stand in the way of progress. Booker is using his to stand for it. This is powerful. This is the America we’re fighting for. This is our moral moment & we must all answer the call.

When they came after journalists, colleges, universities and scientists? When do you cross your line? It's not a right or left moment; it's a right or wrong moment. It's a moral moment."

After 23 hours, Cory Booker returns to the core of his speech.

I'm a little embarrassed how long I had to stare at this map before it clicked that it's an American thing to code conservatives as red and liberals as blue.

Where’s the “but her emails” crowd?
The fact that a reporter was inadvertently given access to this in real time shows that Pete Hegseth & the rest of this crew are bumbling incompetents who are going to get a lot of intelligence officials and others killed at some point. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
