But it’s a hell of a lot less than what the feds wanted to stick him with. I probably should’ve reposed a less exaggerative statement.

I hate everything Kirk stood for, but I support the right to freedom of speech. That means I support it for everybody, even Kirk.

Let me be clear, United Health Ceo Shooting ≠ Charlie Kirk’s shooting. One was shot while going to a directors meeting that would decide how thousands would be allowed to live or die, and the other was shot while using his 1st amendment right in a public debate. #LuigiMangione

It doesn’t matter how you voted. The fact is that there has been a hateful rhetoric coming from the top that has been fueling violence and divide in this country. I dislike Charlie Kirk, but I dislike gun violence and division more. We cannot lose ourselves to this.

oh no they yelled at him in a restaurant? that sort of vile attack has only happened to everyone who has ever worked in a restaurant

i cannot believe they are expecting us to play along with this "might not be his signature" farce and that a lot of people actually are, i feel like ive lost my goddam mind

Today’s Supreme Court ruling gives ICE the green light to stop someone just for speaking Spanish in a Home Depot parking lot.

That’s racial profiling — and it’s wrong.

Why would any foreign country invest in a nation that did this?

It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.

The Federalist Society was founded in 1982 in direct response against recent SCOTUS decisions favoring minorities, women, & working class.

The Society members represent < 5% of all US attorneys, yet holds a 2/3 SCOTUS majority.

How? GOP racist propaganda

PS: not founded by conservative students

Some knew, they knew and gave him immunity to carry out their mission statement. I wonder who...

We’re being governed by absolute morons.

Florida’s been fucked for decades. The last democrat governor of Florida was Lawton Chiles, who died in office as governor of Florida in 1998.

The scariest part of their plan to me is the registry gleaned from health (and likely SSA and other) records & the designation of all trans people as "mentally unstable". But that's largely being ignored because guns make better headlines.

Registry’s like this do impact your life. Shit like this can show up on background checks, medical charts, and more. If you have “mentally unstable” in your medical records doctors treat you differently, insurance will flag that and may deny treatment more, and employers won’t want to hire you.

"95% OF ACTS OF GUN VIOLENCE ARE COMMITTED BY CIS-MEN." "GIVE THEM MORE GUNS AND BLAME TRANS PEOPLE."

How the fuck will they enforce this. What counts as being too transgender to own a gun? Gender fluid people have the opportunity to do the funniest thing if this ever passes.

Scream about “abuse” in welfare to gut welfare and make it extremely hard to get.

Crash economy and cause many to lose their jobs and seek welfare…

Golly Gee I wonder why crime is increasing! Desperate people never turn to any means necessary to survive!

That’s the point

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him

The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses.

We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.

A rich and powerful man using his wealth and status to silence women he’s abused. How many times can we ignore the same cries when it’s shouted over and over again. We don’t need the #files we need to protect these victims and give them safety so they can tell their story without fear.

On a cold winter night in the back of a car during the early 50’s, my grandmother watched her baby brother die of measles. The only time I ever saw her cry was when she told the story of her brother. She made sure her kids and grandkids got vaccinated because she lost her brother before MMR existed.

Wakefield has the blood of many children on his hands. “But he didn’t say all vaccines are bad, just MMR!” His paper is directly responsible for many parents beginning to question ALL vaccines. There’s a measles outbreak in my area. My area also has a healthcare crisis, not enough doctors.

My bad, I won’t do it again. He was a crook and con man, not a doctor.

The impact on scientific progress from this administration; as well as the proliferation and normalization of misinformation online will be felt for decades.

Thread I created explaining a part of scientific review and why vaccines cause Autism is bullshit just from the angle of how awful the conflicts of interest were in the study. Not to mention small sample size, relying on anecdotes from desperate parents, and it’s been disproven again and again.
