There was no Trump assassin and it is irresponsible to report that there was
CNN is reporting that the suspect who shot Charlie Kirk did so from a university building 200 yards away.
If true, that means he was farther away than the Trump assassin in Pennsylvania and farther away than Lee Harvey Oswald was when he shot Kennedy.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.
They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.
Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.
Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

I was an 80s kid.
My mom worked, there were Black kids in my class, and I remember being super shocked when I found out the civil rights movement was only 20 years prior.
That revelation is the original source for my interest in politics.
