A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

Heartbroken by the news about Maurice Gee. Our families moved in the same circles and I was friends with his daughters when we were tiny people. He was such a kind and gentle person (despite the dark topics his books explored) and his home was somewhere I always felt safe and accepted.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Absolutely no need for 'scare quotes' on 𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, @australia.theguardian.com. We are watching Israel commit the Gaza Genocide in real time.
Also no need to cast doubt with your "international development minister says". It's obvious Israel has NO respect for int'l law or human rights. Do better.

Shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you
ANALYSIS: Our politicians aren’t just lawmakers. They are landlords, homeowners and property speculators. They shape the rules of the housing market, while holding a financial stake in its fortunes.
The great property divide inside Parliament
Inside Parliament’s $290m property empire, where one quarter of MPs own three or more properties.

Some of you don’t seem to understand we are demanding welfare to be raised to the poverty line.
This still means people would basically be considered in poverty.
No one is being offered free mansions in Brighton.
What are you missing out on if other people are helped?

I’ve noticed a thing in our culture.
Many people seeking a key, a one answer fits all, a red pill, a belief, a leader, a cult, a mantra, a practice, a diet, a single act of violence, a relationship, a one thing that will fix all the things.
That’s not how any of this works.
