Spent the day at Franklin Roosevelt’s house. Here is the living room where he and Winston Churchill charted the defeat of Nazism and the creation of a world based on individual freedom and the rule of law. I felt physically sick, literally, thinking about what is happening to that world

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

"Gender Ideology" is do-I-get-to-exist. "Just asking questions" - yes, the question is, do-I-get-to-exist. "Shoving it down our throats" - Existing. "Debate" - yes, over whether I get to exist. "I was shut down by the far left" - when you said people don't/shouldn't exist.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Saw someone note that if Tyler Robinson had killed anyone else on the Utah campus (even if it had been multiple people) Kirk and his supporters would not have given one damn about them.
We know this because not one of them gives a damn about the school shooting that happened the same day.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).
