We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.
Very, very bad stuff coming from leading right-wingers

Russia in a nutshell - *every* aspect of society is rotten with corruption and based on lies.
Russia: "The work was completed on time, the asphalt has been laid, the roadway is open to traffic. This is a good example of the implementation of a national project."

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE.

This thread! Best metaphor for how to beat a bully. Punch back. Keep him on his back foot. They know how weak they are. That's why they're bullies!
Apologies in advance for what might look like a rambling diatribe going nowhere. But the one thing I know really well - better than almost anyone else - is boxing. And there’s a really valuable lesson from boxing that the Democratic Party needs to learn in a hurry.
Let’s start with the boxing bit.

People don't rally to calmness, they rally to defiance. People don't respond to abandonment, they respond to solidarity.
It's as true with people as with mechanics: Resistance resists or it isn't resistance, it's lubrication. Finding points of agreement with Nazis isn't strategy, it's surrender.

In today’s America, leaking classified information is a crime—unless you are high enough in the hierarchy. While aides are dismissed without ceremony, the Defense Secretary’s own breaches are buried under political loyalty. Impunity now speaks louder than the law.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
