7/ When MAGA uses violence against its political opponents and endorses private acts of violence when committed in service of MAGA, unhinged people listen - mostly on the right, but also on the left. Once violence gets mainstreamed, it's hard to put it back in the bottle.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?
Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

Hundreds of thousands (maybe more) of Americans of all stripes showed up to protest Trump today across the country - not just in big, blue cities.
So far, it’s a blip on NYT, CNN, MSNBC.
Hope these protests get the front page attention they deserve by tomorrow.

Senator Cory Booker just broke Strom Thurmond’s record of 24 hours and 18 minutes for the longest solo speech in Senate history. Thurmond used it to block civil rights — Booker used it to fight for justice. The arc of history bends, but only because people pull it. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov.
