Tyler Robinson will be out of the news by Monday.

Right wing which dominates media and politics and power is already gaslighting their audience and still blaming "the left."

You can't shame shameless people who are committed to an extremist authoritarian project.

I’m begging just one reporter to ask all these Republicans who are “they”? Because if the answer is liberals or college professors or educated people or non-fascists, they’re making this mythical enemy up in their heads.

Politics have no place in Football so it was unacceptable for Colin Kaepernick to peacefully take a knee to protest systemic racism, but the NFL proudly held a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk because we must honor a man who denied systemic racism even exists.

This is America.

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions.

Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy.

The right's grip on power is tenuous and if you believe—as I do—that in 2024 millions of people voted Trump out of idiocy rather than love of right-wing ideology, then an economic contraction will undermine them in ways they can't wash away no matter how friendly the media environment is for them.
plenty of things going against the right globally: Bolsonaro's conviction in Brazil, the defeat of the right wing in Norway's election, the student strikes and Saba Saba protests in Kenya (brutal as the repression there was), the EU's von der Leyen pursuing sanctions and trade suspension for Israel

The bishop advised Catholics considering joining ICE that “you can never attempt to turn off your conscience.”

Thank you @raskin.house.gov for the endorsement — and your courageous fight in Congress against Trump's authoritarianism.

AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.

Congress passed a bipartisan law long ago mandating that a plaque honoring the officers who defended Capitol on J6 be displayed in the building. Mike Johnson has ignored that law and refuses to do it.

I've seen a couple of MAGA dudes compare this to Abe Lincoln's assassination even though Charlie Kirk wasn't the president and John Wilkes Booth was a crazy white supremacist.

the complaint is basically that unidentified people are reacting to Charlie Kirk dying like Charlie Kirk would
they just decide what they think we’re like and proceed as though

All politics and political parties aside,,, a very sad yet timely post just a few hours ago.

Better gun protection laws are needed in this country. Everyone was sending their thoughts and prayers to Charlie Kirk and that didn’t help,,, RIP.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Charlie Kirk wasn't killed by political violence.

Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.
