"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Too many Democrats spent a good part of last year demonizing campus protesters, refusing to acknowledge Palestinians as humans, and painting people who want an end to Israel's genocidal actions as terrorists.
Trump is pouring on the gas, but Dems lit the match and threw in some logs.

The lawlessness, incompetence and brutality are accelerating as the Republic tips toward dictatorship.
Senate Democrats, under Schumer's leadership, are useless and essentially collaborators. Democratic governors need to get straight on what the plan is.

NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility.
1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken.
A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Speaking as a rural Democrat, the strategists’ push to the move Dems to the center is ill-advised.
No one needs Republican lite when there’s a Republican already on the ballot.

Wow—Trump is firing and banning all trans people from the military, per DoD memo.
“Military service by members and applicants for military service who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria is incompatible with military service.”
