What Matt said on MSNBC is true. Matt's point is that many may not realize it but words can cause harm and that everyone must be careful with rhetoric.
This type of violence is unacceptable.

MSNBC letting Joy Reid go will be a costly mistake—one they’ll regret as we face a decline in democracy and a rise in anti-Blackness.
Stay tuned for a piece on this tomorrow in @thebwstimes.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

We have lots of stories from history to remind us what happens when a disease like measles tears through an unvaccinated/under-vaccinated population. None of them have happy endings. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
At least 22 children and two adults infected in Texas measles outbreak
Nine of those infected were hospitalized and more cases are likely, health authorities said. U.S. vaccination rates for measles are falling, according to the CDC.

Dear @democrats.org w/Trump&Musk getting rid CGPB you now have for 26 campaigns. CFPB gone to please their donors from corporate banks people will now have:
-40% interest rates on credit cards
-Higher rates on auto loans, student loans that will be privatized w/DoE gone
-Skyrocket mortgages
-40% interest rates on credit cards
-Higher rates on auto loans, student loans that will be privatized w/DoE gone

If the best case Democrats can make to voters against a lawless authoritarian regime that is dismantling our institutions at home and selling out our allies abroad is "but egg prices" then we're totally cooked as a society anyway.

Sec 4 of the 14th Amendment, requiring the US to pay ALL the debts incurred by Congress, both renders the so-called “debt ceiling” unconstitutional and reinforces the ban on Executive Branch usurpation of Congress’s power of the purse — which is now underway as the White House defies a court’s TRO.

If I spoke I would I say ‘Mitch was- you know what I’m sorry I can’t lie in Gods house. I can’t think of a nice thing to say. He stole a SCOUTUS from Obama and then rammed through a woman that no one wanted on the court while people were voting. His negligence allowed a felon to be POTUS again.’
If/when he dies, imagine the amount of Democrats we're going to have to listen to blathering on about how amazing Mitch McConnell was despite the fact he's a very, very, very significant part of why we are where we are.
