Keep saying "it could have been you."

Yes it could have. You don't have to carry a firearm or be fighting law enforcement officers, you don't have to actively resist arrest to take an ass-whoopin', and then get shot.

So, yes... it could have been you. Shut up.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

I don’t need to post commentary because what needs to be said is being said more effectively by others.

I am proud of everyone who has taken an action to resist state violence and the war-dependent economy today.

Trump's Republican Party has money for raids, cages, and deportations—but not insulin, ERs, or mental health care? Bullshit. #FundHealthcareNotICE

A party that truly cared about "life" would ensure everyone has healthcare. A party that truly cared about "safety" would stop terrorizing communities with ICE. Republicans fail both tests. #FundHealthcareStopICE

A message to the media: stop calling it a "healthcare crisis." Call it the "Republican healthcare crisis." Stop calling it an "immigration debate." Call it "Republican terror and violence." Be accurate. #FundHealthcareStopICE

Dear Libertarians,

Although I believe strongly in civil liberties I am not a libertarian.

Nonetheless, I would summarize the libertarian philosophy thusly: minding your business is free but minding my business is expensive.

Trump's tech broligarchy is minding your business and murdering people.

Republics cannot continue without moral authority. Without moral authority there is no legitimacy.

No political party has a monopoly on wisdom or virtue. However there are moral absolutes.

Majority is morally opposed to this regime's atrocities. Ergo this regime intends to liquidate our republic.

Beyond mere policy, heads of state impact a nation's cultural ethos.

Trump incited the assassination of a man for extending kindness to a woman shoved to the ground. Why? Because she was exercising her constitutional prerogative of dissent. Murdering kindness is now embedded in our cultural ethos.

During Jim Crow laws werepassed to entrap Black men who ended up in prison for crimes never applied to Whites. Now we are seeing selective law enforcement for Trump haters. I don't support unfettered access to guns but murdering Alex Pretti while praising Kyle Rittenhouse is illustrative.

Pretty much everyone on IG who has been carefully quiet about politics is speaking out.

It’s. Weird.

I’m not on there all that much, but I think people have finally been given social permission to say the uncomfortable thing.

I think they realize not speaking up will be read as acceptance.
