Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Jesus of Nazareth -- this big, tough guy -- came up with tears in His eyes, and said, "Sir, thank you for saving Me. You did more for Christianity than anyone since Me."
I said, "Well, Lord, maybe we both had good fathers."

They've spent weeks carefully building this Charlie Kirk hagiography and then Trump comes blundering in and knocks it down in seconds.
Trump on Charlie Kirk: "He was able to fight people that were enemies. And he didn't necessarily love those enemies so much. You know, I heard 'he loved his enemies' and I said, 'Wait a minute, is that the same Charlie that I knew? I'm not sure.' But I didn't want to get into it."

No system that carries oppression, silencing, dehumanizing, violence, abuse, and corruption within is healthy. Tolerance of such things, out of fear, disbelief, or self-deception, will not protect the system from the disease that will kill it if left untreated.

(1/6) As Trump vows to bring back Columbus Day, here is a reminder of why this is not just rhetoric. The 15th-century legal doctrine Columbus used to colonize and slaughter the Indigenous peoples he encountered is still the law in the U.S. today.
