Shouting out to all Americans to watch Heather Cox Richardson's Conversation with Jeff Clements on Citizens United. The most important political issue of our time!
REALLY good explanation of Citizen’s United, where it came from in Buckley v. Valeo, why it must be overturned, and how to do that.

White Americans are just discovering that evil men representating the government CAN kill you for no reason and with impunity.

Among the many, many other things that are so awful about this story, I hope this woman has lots and lots and lots of support and help and will continue to have it for a long time. Because this is incredibly traumatizing, I’m sure, and it will take time to address just on that level.

Minneapolis was targeted because it disproves the authoritarian claim that pluralistic, high-tax, democratic societies inevitably fail—and the crackdown was a staged attempt to make that claim true by force.

another good takeaway from the attack on Ilhan Omar really. people who aren’t cowards don’t reach for their guns first
The bodyguard subdues the alleged attacker without killing the attacker; it can be done

Just a reminder that both Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost have been attacked this week.

No outrage by right-wing media or even corporate media.

Now imagine if this were done to Republicans.

The entire system is rigged in favor of conservatives, folks. The double standards are just wild.

Nope. Son of Holocaust survivor. My father was 11 when the Nazis invaded his hometown in eastern Poland. He survived only by fleeing to a different city with a false baptismal certificate. The comparison is apt. Carry on.

Just over the past 72 days, two non-white Democratic members of Congress have been attacked, one of them by a Trump supporter who threatened him with deportation.

Does JD Vance have anything to say? After all, the GOP VP is always so keen to attack "left-wing" political violence.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.

It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.

Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but these guys are paid with your tax money and have no real job. ICE isn't necessary. They don't get rid of criminals. They just terrorize communities. And THAT'S why they should be abolished. No need for reins. It's not a job!
