OK, I'll say it. Virtually all violence is political violence. Anyone who can't or won't admit that is not qualified to be a leader.

Watching Republicans on Capitol Hill pretend to be outraged by what they call violent political rhetoric is sickening. What a goddamned clown show.

Watching an alcoholic Fox News host who failed upwards to being the SecDef under this regime drone on about the importance of "merit" was nauseating.

The "Free Speech Absolutists" and the "We need guns to overthrow an authoritarian government" were never anything except cheap excuses to protect white supremacy and fascism.

Conservatives are so appalled with political violence after the death of Charlie Kirk that they've started making terroristic threats against HBCUs.

The weirdest thing about the murder of Charlie Kirk is WHERE ARE THE FUCKING EPSTEIN FILES?

Sending Charlie Kirk, his friends, family, and supporters all the well-wishes that they would send somebody they deemed "less than" because of their race, sexual orientation, gender expression, nationality, or religion.

Playing the world's smallest violin. MAGA influencers earn their money and reputations by advocating for institutionalized violence against their rivals. It shouldn't surprise anyone when individualized violence against them is the end result.

In June, you made No Kings Day one of the biggest protests in US history.

October 18 is going to be even bigger. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Kinda fucked up that, in 2025, breaking 3 of my ribs isn't even in the top 10 worst things that have happened this year...

A 34X convicted felon says he's going to end crime in Washington DC. What a time to be alive.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

If your "Leftist" ideology has you siding with MTG and attacking AOC, maybe it's time to check to make sure your compass isn't broken...

At any other time in human history, he'd be hanging from a pole a la Mussolini by now.

Super glad that Jeffries has taken some time out of his busy "alienating progressive voters" marathon to give a too little, too late speech.

I'm old enough to remember when "far-right" conservatives were mad enough to threaten civil war over a "FEMA funds to build concentration camps" conspiracy theory. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FEMA_ca...

Where oh where can Chicago find costs to cut?
The Chicago Police Department overspent its 2024 budget by $207 million, according to city data.

Even though it had a 2024 budget of nearly $2 billion, CPD spent $127 million more on personnel and $80 million more to resolve misconduct lawsuits.

So the government can simply trample the rights of the People and citizens will be required to challenge those abuses in court on a case-by-case basis if they want it to stop? Coolcoolcoolcoolcool.

Anyone else have the sneaking suspicion that the recent "We're not a democracy, we're a republic!" nonsense is the result of the MAGA base's inability to read past the first three letters of those words?

Me at my most narcissistic is pouring over protest pictures and playing "Where's Waldo?" with myself.

In all seriousness, though, this protest was massive and the energy was off the charts.
