The far right has been looking for a reason to commit mass political violence and it’s extremely important to unite around the principle that all political violence in America is unthinkable and unacceptable.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.
Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.
Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.
It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Brief political note: I know there are a few crazy people online but right now every single political follow on my Bluesky feed is saying not to celebrate people getting shot. Every single one.

Abolish the GOP.
In other democracies, they dissolve political parties that become radicalized and antidemocratic. Something to think about. badfaithtimes.com/the-republic...
The Republican Party Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Exist
A party as radicalized as the modern GOP can't be part of a democracy's political landscape

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Republicans are blowing it all up for tax cuts that give more than twice as much to the top 0.1% than to the bottom half of America combined.
They aren’t breaking Senate rules to like provide health care or child care or education, but for tax cuts that disproportionately go to the rich.

Mind numbing to recall how Democrats could seemingly never do anything due to various procedures and bad actors and yet somehow it never seems to matter for the GOP.

At the end of the Trump presidency we will collectively be poorer, dumber, less trusting, less safe, and have less privacy and freedom.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
