#charliekirk. All signs point to the shooter being a Republican who did not like Kirk's hateful rhetoric. Yet many want to use this tragedy to target organizations on the left.

Life under Trump’s D.C. takeover is not what you think Pretty much anyone living in D.C. can see every day that the White House’s justification is a lie.

What we lose in the gamification of music Music shouldn't be treated like a game to master β€” it should be treated like something that affects and potentially changes you.

Interesting read. I'm into punk rock, so a lot of bands added a game element to their records. They might include a zine or symbols in their artwork. I would think it makes it more fun.

Opinion | It’s well past time to start talking about Trump’s decline The president’s story made no sense β€” and he also doesn't always appear to know what his administration is doing.

Trump is experiencing dementia! Everyone threw a tantrum about Biden, but where is the media on this one? Are they scared?

Repugnicants went off for years about Pizzagate, a made up child trafficking Scandal and now they dismiss a real child trafficking Scandal. I wonder why? Hmm, Maybe it is because of who was involved in each.?

Our system is based on cheap labor. First it was free labor, then wave after wave of immigrants. This is not new. It took a turn towards socialism and the Wobblies to scare the oligarchs into reform. The rich exploit until they can't squeeze any more then the people rise up and reset it.Rise Up!

The Starving State Nothing less than a bold new regime of domestic and international taxes will save wealthy democracies and economies from the distortions and dangers of rampant inequality.

The rich would do well to heed history. Economic inequality brings about political instability. History provides us examples in the fall of Rome, the French revolution, and the rise of fascism in the 1930s. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

We can save democracy by creating a more just tax system and lowering inequality. If we don't we will probably experience either a push for fascism from the far right, or a push for communism / socialism from the far left. 1 of 2

Why is helping poor, old people fraud but giving Elon and other billionaires subsidies and tax breaks not? Cut the real fat and stop subsidizing the oligarchs. Stop their payments and see how they respond.

I agree. I was being conservative in my estimate. Bumper to bumper traffic started 2 miles away. Pic is from my mom who got in. Waited 1 hour in line just to get in.

Bernie Sanders and AOC rally in Tempe, AZ. Too late to get in. As I drove by there were about 2,000 people in line waiting to get in. I watched probably 200 cars decide they did not want to be in line and leave. I will estimate that probably 10,000 people showed up. The venue holds 5000.

The emperor has no clothes! The emperor has no brain! In fact, lately I think the emperor may be insane. How can noone see, how can no one know? This con man is robbing us blind. This con man doesn't want you to see what's behind. Mad with power, mad with greed. He says fascism is what we need.

Trump is a traitor! Between pardoning January 6th insurrectionists and currently giving Putin everything he could ever dream of, no president has betrayed his country like this. Today Trump ordered our cyber ops to stop fighting Russian attacks. What the fuck?

Is there anyone in government Trump can’t fire? Why Humphrey’s Executor may be in peril at the Supreme Court | CNN Politics President Donald Trump’s purge at independent agencies is putting a target on a nearly 100-year-old Supreme Court precedent that protects certain officials from the political whims of the White House.

The Republican version of Defund the Police. Let's start using that label against them. The Trump Admin has fired the inspectors general and any other challenge to his authority.

How do we heal our country? National public service. Every 18 yr old serves 1 year in the military, medical field, national parks, etc. In return the country pays for 2 yrs of college or trade school.

They seem to be defying a coequal branch of government after defying another coequal branch. This is a break glass, emergency moment is it not? Who is the Supreme Court's army? Well in the end, the people are the last defense against tyranny. 1 of 2

And the tariffs I warned my peeps about are here. Enjoy your underhanded tax on the poor and middle class. Mr. Orange is a carnival barker and a con man. He sold the country on helping them, but he's only going to help himself and his billionaire friends.
