The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

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.

Not sure I’ll ever get over the disgust I have knowing so many Americans do not care at all what happens to human beings of all ages after being kidnapped by masked men working for their politicians. Reprehensible, and very much unforgivable.

1. Trump announces where he will bomb in Iran to destroy its nuclear inventory.

2. Iran moves its nuclear inventory from those locations.

3. Trump bombs those locations.

4. Trump: "Yay! Our strikes were a COMPLETE success! Mission accomplished!!!"

5. Iran rolls its eyes & jacks up US gas prices.

I wish this summer was shaping up to be little more Barbie and a lot less Oppenheimer

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Republicans did this to Americans when Reagan was POTUS, too.

After 40 years, we are still being negatively affected by the largest transfer of wealth from the middle class to the top earners.

Your kid’s kids’ kids will pay for what Trump’s GOP accomplish over these next four years.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

It is time for state and local governments to arrest masked officers who won’t produce warrants and who have no proof someone is undocumented.

Kidnappers should be arrested and indicted and tried for kidnapping and serve the many years such sentences carry.

For all the centrist and establishment Dems who thought Trump and MAGA wouldn't be unleashed agains them and the chaos would be relegated to the "woke."

Open your eyes and see this.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Same. I mean, I've got low expectations but I'm gonna have to see it

All of this immigration problem could have been avoided if the Senate passed the bipartisan immigration bill 14 months ago.

This chaos is 100% 3Dolls Donnie’s fault

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH

He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested

Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

“Pathetic” is no longer an adjective that fits any of this. Terrifying, appalling, horrifying, horrendous, nightmarish, unimaginable. Quaint words seem diluted and no longer applicable in our own Third Reich.

We're In American Idiocracy Thanks to White Rage America can't have nice things, including a normal "Memorial Day" greeting, because of the country's inability to confront and uproot white rage and grievance that has turned us into an Idiocracy.

it's the bath salts that give it its flavor.

Sometimes I just stop, shake my head, and think how ridiculous it is watching my country be destroyed by a demented old man just because some white people are afraid of the future.

I think a lot about CJ Roberts writing this in 2024: "The dissents' positions in the end boil down to . . . fear mongering on the basis of extreme hypotheticals about a future where the President 'feels empowered to violate federal criminal law.'"

Truman made this statement exactly one week after I was born.

Seeing clips of VP Harris’ speech last night and I don’t think I’ll ever get over what we lost by not electing her.

We could’ve had a joyful, qualified, competent, pro-youth champion. Instead we have a felon willingly walking us into a recession…

Love love love to see it. Here's the latest.

If you wonder why men *obsessed* with the United States having more children are kidnapping children and sending them to other countries, those children were the incorrect color.

I’m not rich. I’m tired of wealthy people believing they better represent me than someone from the working class. Multi-millionaires cannot fight for me. They don’t know how. And I don’t trust them to do so.
