If you don't think targeting Melissa Hortman, the Speaker of the Minnesota House and the second-most powerful woman in MN politics was meant to send a message, buddy I don't know what to tell ya.

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap.

The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm.

Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

Regular liberal people must come to understand that there is no way you can appease Nazis and especially that there is no way that you can shrink yourself so they won't hurt you. Their main goal is to hurt you.

So many people are gonna die. It’s horrific.
Don’t let anyone convince you this is normal or that you’re overreacting. So many (often well meaning) people are coping by pretending everything is fine. It’s not. We must keep fighting back.
