Name the one political party led by those who call for violence Hint: It is not the Democrats.

The leader of the Republican Party has expressed, embraced, and encouraged violent rhetoric and with his J6 pardons he has promoted acceptance of violent action—violent action on his behalf.

There is nothing remotely comparable to this within the Democratic Party.

As to the first point, really? Go ahead, name 10 far left extremists (who are anywhere near as extreme as the grotesque slimy evil blowhards on the right) on social media. I'll wait.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Superb post Erin; spot on! Thank you so much for your great work!

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

TIP FOR CONSERVATIVES:

If you are bereft over the gun shooting of Charlie Kirk, just pretend he was a kid in an elementary school, and you will forget about the whole thing within a minute.

Really? Do you also care about the children of the transgender folks who die every year because of the incessant right-wing hate generated by the likes of him?

Oh darn. Sadly, way too many sick bigots eager to take his place.

It's a start. A very late one at that.

Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.

Good night 🌙 and….

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Your first clue.

Extraordinary piece from @simonerzim.bsky.social - searching, tough, honest and with all the receipts. Please share it with anyone you think is ready for a reckoning. The genocide is not only ongoing but accelerating and expanding, this is urgent.

Trump and the global rise of fascist anti-psychiatry Trump is using psychiatry to cut care, expand policing and turn public despair into political control.

Trump’s new executive order uses psychiatry to dismantle social care, expand policing and imprisonment, and exploit public disillusionment. We have seen this before, and we know the consequences.

The DOJ released the security video of Epstein's jail in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient.

The DOJ released the Maxwell/Blanche transcript in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient.

Such an obvious cover-up.

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

You know how some people celebrate their birthdays for the whole month?

Well, I'm doing that for James Dobson's death.

Gavin Newsom is anti-trans and I will never, ever vote for him.

CW: Sexual assault

Women are being kidnapped and assaulted by men who impersonate ICE agents. This is one of many reasons why we can’t have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Urge your elected officials to take action today: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

Yep, last thing MAGA wants around is intelligence.
