Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.
Release the files. Immediately.

I’ve seen two kids post that the Brown University shooting is the second school shooting they’ve survived.
This should enrage and radicalize everyone.
Kids shouldn’t have to survive one shooting, let alone two.
No more thoughts and prayers.
It’s time to address the guns.

Another mass shooting—this time at Brown University. When Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban was in place, mass shooting deaths dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and Republicans let it expire, deaths skyrocketed by 239%.

High school shooting survivor (now Brown University survivor) Mia Tretta is amazing: "All gun violence is 100% preventable." And she's absolutely 💯 right. #BrownStrong #GunReformNow

The president of the United States has said *multiole times* that he hates Americans who are democrats. That is a FUCKING HUGE SCANDAL. Nobody will treat it as one.
this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press
Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

If America dies, her epitaph will read, "They wanted whiteness more than they wanted a country."
No wonder so many of you still socialize with your GOP families and friends: you think they sort of have a point.
You tell Black people to set race aside while clinging desperately to it yourselves.

I'm so proud of my hometown of #Chicago tonight! Folks are standing up and fighting back against the T**** regime and DHS, as we can see on MSNBC. If we still lived there (instead of in red SW Florida), I would absolutely be down on Michigan Avenue tonight.

@maddow.msnbc.com just showed video of horrid CBP agents in Desert Storm fatigues walking down State Street carrying assault weapons. It made me physically ill, and furious. They don't belong there; they say Lake Michigan is our border with Canada. #CBPOutOfChicago #AbolishICE

@aoc.bsky.social is absolutely 💯 right tonight on @allinwithchris.bsky.social . The T**** regime is indeed weaker than they look, and they are completely relying on our complying in advance. I just wish The University of Michigan understood this vital point. #UMichAlum

Boy it sure feels like the Kimmel thing is going to go down as a significant overreach, which makes you wonder if the whole Charlie Kirk thing will as well

What’s at stake here is free speech.
Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel.
We need to all stand up and speak out.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Killing people we disagree with is wrong in every way, whether it’s Melissa Hortman or Charlie Kirk. This is especially true in a country awash with guns and run by fascists looking to amplify their already militarized policies.
No thoughts and prayers. Down with fascism and up with gun control.

Conservative influencer Charlie Kirk has died from the injuries he sustained in a shooting at Utah Valley University today.
Gun violence doesn’t care about ideology. No one is truly safe on our campuses, in our elementary or high schools— anywhere—in a country awash in easily accessible guns.

Make no mistake, the orange felon and his deranged acolytes will most certainly use MAGA propagandist Charlie Kirk’s death as justification to further militarize any U.S. city or state that he hates.
