Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

I normally like @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, as a former consituent of his, but he’s bothsides-ing the hell out of this, and it’s pissing me off. Only one side actively advocates for this.

I’m also already sick of the “both sides” bullshit on this subject. Only one side actively advocated for this.

Thinking Trump has empathy is like thinking Marco has a soul or Ted Cruz has a spine or Tim Scott has a girlfriend or Stephen Miller eats garlic or Pete Kegsbreath is sober or RFK jr stopped doing heroin or Jeanine Pirro is competent or Pam Bondi knows the law

The really critical thing to know about the Trump/Musk throw down is that the “Big Beautiful Bill” would explode the debt, exacerbate economic inequality, and cause cruel and grievous harm to the most vulnerable Americans and we really should be talking about that a whole lot more.

I saw that Lindsey Graham was trending here, and I clicked, hoping he was dead. Disappointed on so many levels.

Mary is a 12 year old student who had written an essay against book bans as part of a competitive civics event Argall was judging.

For others who didn't grasp the implications at first.
“Senator Argall asked Mary, ‘Do you think we should allow pornographic magazines in Kindergarten classrooms?‘ ... ‘Mary looked confused and had to ask, ‘What does that mean?’ He explained to her, in front of the entire audience, that it meant ‘naked pictures of people in books and magazines.”

If you're sitting comfortably after getting sleep last night and opining how "performative" Cory Booker is in standing up to this regime, then you are a huge part of the problem and how we got here.

Petulance and demanding perfection over progress, is how we got here.

This quote from @schumer.senate.gov in WSJ tells us everything we need to know about him. He only cares about how high HE climbs. It’s not about us. It’s never been for us. Vote him out.

Maybe we should start asking our Dem reps/senators to submit 5 bullet points every week, to make sure they’re actually doing their jobs.
