Dick Cheney

The last thing Dick Cheney saw was a young Muslim socialist about to be elected as mayor of New York .

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford.

the world will have to learn what “groypers” are and i don’t think the average boomer is ready for that

Opposing political violence requires that we condemn Charlie Kirk’s death.

Opposing political violence also requires that we condemn Charlie Kirk’s life.

Charlie Kirk spent his life encouraging his allies on the far-right to think violence was legitimate and concerns about it were fake.

Everyone seems allergic to the word, but Charlie Kirk was not an activist, he was a propagandist. Turning Point was a meme factory backed by a billionaire designed to steer kids towards Christian Nationalism. He didn’t advocate for policy; he spun narratives to change beliefs. Propaganda.

Also the FBI is run by podcasters.

Who is further fanning flames of divisiveness?

Which group is encouraging violence within our country with their words right now?

Just want to point out that the shooter is STILL AT LARGE.

We don't know who they are, what they believe in, or any motive- and yet the reactionary right wing is already peddling blame and vitriol at progressives, many of whom have widely condemned what happened.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Liberal politicians if you are so disturbed just pretend Charlie Kirk was a Palestinian child and you’ll get over it in no time

Horst Wessel - Wikipedia

The goal is, and always should be, to defeat fascism and authoritarianism in our country.

Do not hand them more opportunities and reasons to oppress us.

Keep steady, focused, and level-headed.

We don't want another Horst Wessel.

I truly think all folks who consider themselves left or progressive should consider being very mindful about what they say on the internet today, regardless about how you feel about Kirk.

You wouldn't want to be plastered across newsmax, fox, or any conservative media to further fuel the flames.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

please do not post things you don’t want to see on The Free Press and Fox News later this evening

Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

I just saw someone refer to rfk jr as microwaved mel gibson & i can’t unsee it.

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”
