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.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

There are people who will vote on other issues - such as abortion - to the exclusion of all else. The Republicans know how to push those buttons, while Democrats are trying to herd cats and keep their coalition from fracturing over any number of issues.
"My rage against gays is more important than my children's access to quality healthcare." Seems about right.

Perhaps it’s my Bluesky algorithm but where is all the coverage and outrage over the deployment of the national guard to 19 states?? Did I miss something?

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?
Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead?
These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.

When the worst person you know gets bitten by a snake, you don’t try to befriend the snake. You observe said biting from a considerable distance and enjoy the schadenfreude.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

As long as we are focused on the issues that matter. Hope this creates jobs and puts food on the table.
The House has passed a Republican-led bill that would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, moving a step closer to codifying President Donald Trump’s push to rename the body of water.

Whereas 60 Minutes calls out parent co Paramount for capitulating journalistic ethics to Trump in order to get their merger pushed through. Just wow! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.
