Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

I despise Charlie Kirk and every hateful thing he stands for, but today’s shooting was truly horrific. Violence is NEVER the answer.

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship.

That's just a true statement about the world!

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution.

This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it.

He is not exempt from the law.

Where the fuck is Congress?

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

I do actually think that all human beings should be given the maximum opportunity to flourish, with the goal of making happy and healthy lives available for everyone.

this is controversial to those in power, it seems!

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Just talked to a disheartened local Democrat going out to gather petition signatures for candidates. Schumer backlash in New York is palpable among the rank and file: "How do I go out and knock on doors and say hey, sign for these Democrats after this?" 😕

It is not required for any other Senate Dem to vote with Schumer. Stand up for the people. Stand up for the party. Unite against this and lead where he won’t.

Guess who Hitler & his Nazis called "parasites", and guess what happened to these people.
Elon Musk thinks the poor are a "Parasite Class", & his philosophical guru Curtis Yarvin has "joked" that they should be melted down into biodiesel.

But this is a fascist ethos, & some say the true "Parasite Class" are those who have become grotesquely rich off the labor of others.

The world’s a mess, but spring training is here. Fresh-cut grass, unnecessary optimism, and a 34-year-old guy who played for the Long Island Ducks last year trying to make the team. Baseball heals. #SpringTraining #HopeSpringsEternal #LGM

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA.

There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.
