Mass shooters are usually loners but they never act alone.
They are aided & abetted by 220 House members, 53 Senators, 6 Supreme Court justices, 1 President, and the NRA.

I have been covering the movement fighting back against ICE in NYC but these things are happening all over.

People spent a good bit of this year wondering when resistance to Trump would begin and what it might look like.

It is happening now and it's all around us.
Thank you for covering this. Most legacy media is unaware, or ignoring this. In NC, we’ve got SiembraNC helping to organize. In Durham, from the very first day CBP showed up, we had a rapid response both verifying sightings, chasing their SUVs and in front of schools. Efforts continue.

What's next, America, a disinformation campaign promoting a return to open sewers?
The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.

It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

“Commercial breaks were largely filled with spots from direct-response advertisers, including the dietary supplement SuperBeets.

“Viewers of of the telecast on WCBS, the CBS flagship in New York, saw a commercial for Chia Pet, the terra-cotta figure that sprouts plant life after a few weeks.”
Major advertisers appeared to sit out a new CBS News town hall telecast Saturday, moderated by Bari Weiss and featuring an interview with Erika Kirk.

Lack of Madison Avenue support could challenge the viability of the format, which Weiss wants to expand

the entire thing is a spectacle based on a professional provacateur who comically gut put in charge of CBS news interviewing the bereaved wife of a far right political rabble rouser. No big mystery why adverts are squeamish. anyone w a media background says no shit

Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again.

And the students are doing this while the murderer is on the loose, and their friends and neighbors have been ordered not to leave their rooms or homes.

Even the local hospital is on lockdown right now.

Is it political violence when students get killed after JD Vance and Trump call universities the enemy of the people? Or is that just "tragedy" while only the murder of far-right advocates of violence like Charlie Kirk qualifies for political recognition?

Thoughts and prayers are not enough.

Our schools should be places of learning, not fear. No one should have to live with the constant threat of gun violence. This cannot keep being our reality.

It’s past time for us to act and stop senseless gun violence from happening again. #BrownShooting

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.

This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

there is a very good book about transatlantic exchange of fascist, eugenicist and racist ideas in the early 20th century and how those ideas shaped the nazi government in its early years. this has been transformed in popular understanding to "the nazis copied jim crow"
If you’ve heard the “the Nazis got their ideas from the US segregationists” I beg you to please stop. This is both false and it minimizes historical European antisemitism in a misguided attempt to emphasize the nature of US anti-Black racism.

It’s horrific without comparison to Nazism.
May I politely encourage you to reconsider this framing. It is inaccurately stated and suggests consistent and strong linkages that do not exist.

The Nazis did not “get their ideas” from confederate laws. Antisemitism and anti-Jewish laws existed in Europe long before the Confederacy…
