In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together "Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know theyโ€™re all your people."

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

The Illinois National Guard are roughing up peaceful protesters in Broadview.

The GOP that gave us the Jan. 6 terrorist attack, the pardon of the Jan 6 terrorists and their young leaders saying "I love Hitler" is telling us the No Kings protests is anti-American. Bless their hearts ๐Ÿคฃ

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

We are now getting very close to him committing Treason. Saying that you are going to end rule of law in America if a judge does not rule your way is a threat against the U.S. as serious as any foreign incursionโ€”and indeed would be considerably more ruinous to the nation he swore an oath to protect.

Donald Trump: Charlie Kirk "did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagree with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don't want the best for them."

In 2023, Kirk called for the execution of Joe Biden.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

It seems "A leftist killed Charlie Kirk" is the new "the 2020 election was stolen" and "Jan 6 was a peaceful protest." Doesn't matter what the facts are. They're going full steam ahead with their fairy tale.

hey the people that stormed the capitol and erected gallows to murder elected leaders want you to know that political violence is not ok
