It is very important that your federal electeds hear not only from you on social media, but through direct contact as well. Tag them and then
Call and email. Do both. Tell them to move to immediately impeach and remove for an unconstitutional war of aggression.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

To those claiming they're for free speech while punishing and silencing those for exercising that right: You're not pro-free speech. 🤔

If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly."
They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

Charlie Kirk and his political movement think all rights are conditional on one's identity and coalition, so they imagine that anyone saying his views are reprehensible wants to strip him of all rights. They cannot imagine the concept of universal rights that apply to all, no matter one's views.
The frequency with which I’m seeing people conflate “Kirk’s views were reprehensible” with “Kirk deserved to die”—even in the face of explicit repudiation of the latter—makes me wonder if they just genuinely can’t comprehend not wanting to murder someone who they think had reprehensible views.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Great job by SCOTUS greenlighting these firings as well while trying to carve out a made up exception to the fed. Your precious financial system will fail because you are absolute amoral cowards.

What's endlessly frustrating about these stories is the implication that if he weren't a US citizen, this treatment would be excusable & acceptable.
US citizen and Army vet was on his way to job as a security guard. Federal agents smash car window, pepper-spray him, and lock him in jail for three days with no charges, no lawyer, and no way to wipe off pepper spray. Family had no idea where he was.
“I let ICE agents know that I’m a US Citizen."

The white students who are struggling to make ends meet are not struggling because Black and immigrant students got into our university. They are struggling because of a shitty social safety net & high tuition because people like Andreesen don't pay sufficient taxes/the state doesn't pay its share.
