I mean saying “Charlie personified America” is kind of hitting he nail on the head and saying the quiet part out loud

Stephen Miller certainly qualifies as a freak of the highest magnitude

As a nation we are massively underreacting to Trump deploying the military and ICE to terrorize citizens in opposition states. We also must consider the possibility that the government shutdown in and of itself may have been the point.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

Agreed but [ check notes ] remember when you used the espionage act more than any other president in history to persecute whistleblowers like @johnkiriakou.bsky.social ? Pepperidge Farms remembers

@jimmykimmel.com I think that @mehdirhasan.bsky.social is right. You should have stuck to the classics like Brian Kilmeade on Fox News

The truth hurts

HR 5300, the Department of State Policy Provisions Act, could give Marco Rubio the power to revoke U.S. passports of people who are critical of Israel. It was sponsored by Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL 21), who volunteered with the IDF and publicly wore his IDF uniform.

@maddow.msnbc.com as I’ve been saying this is exactly the pretext that the fascist right has been looking for to justify expand mass surveillance and draconian police state measures.

Jay Ponti @jayponti.bsky.social · 23d

@maddow.msnbc.com if it was children who were murdered in a mass shooting Charlie Kirk himself would already be telling people to move on because [something about the Second Amendment]

Jay Ponti @jayponti.bsky.social · 24d

NFL blackballed Kaepernick for protesting white supremacy & George Floyd’s murder, then spotlighted Kirk, who says white supremacy doesn’t exist & Floyd just OD’d. Peak hypocrisy.

And if it was a child who was murdered in a school shooting the right would already be telling everyone to move on by now cause something something Second Amendment

you are supporting genocide with US tax dollars that should be funding Medicare for All. Disavow your support for AIPAC and Bibi's regime or resign. History will not forget where you stood and you can pretty much abandon any hopes you have for running for president.

It’s wild that this happens just as Left and Right are coming together to call out US funding, weapons, and military support for the genocide in Gaza. After Israel’s pager ops against Hezbollah, every scenario has to be on the table. Absolutely wild, but we have to entertain it at this point.

Trump wastes no time capitalizing on Charlie Kirk's assassination. I’ve always advocated non-violent civil disobedience—violence only fuels police-state escalation. We still can't rule out that this was a false flag or a professional hit, but it's exactly what I’ve been warning about for years
