I literally have skin in the game.
I work in this complex. I have received literally thousands of death threats in the past six months. Many of them egged on by Kirk, Libsoftiktok, and other right wing accounts.
I expect to be one of the people this all gets much worse for sooner than later.

a lot of people on the right are going to be pretending to be concerned about guns and political violence today. as it happens, this was just published today about how the present administration is handling gun violence in DC during a hostile occupation it claims it is doing for "safety" reasons
D.C. banned high-capacity magazines capable of feeding guns dozens of bullets at a time. The Trump Administration will no longer charge people for carrying them, calling the ban "unconstitutional." 51st.news/high-capacit...
High-capacity gun magazines are illegal in D.C. Trump no longer wants to prosecute violators.
City officials say high-capacity magazines can be particularly deadly.

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.

this reminds me of the period in american politics when pundits would demand that any black politician of note — really, any black person in politics with a national audience — “condemn farrakhan”
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro chides Zohran Mamdani for not condemning other people’s antisemitism:
“He left open far too much space for extremists to either use his words or for him to not condemn the words of extremists that said some blatantly antisemitic things.”

It continues to make me sad that Ro Khanna used VC and tech money to push Mike Honda out of Congress. Honda was a childhood Japanese internee who became a high school teacher, congressman, and staunch ally of labor and LGBTQ ppl. Khanna is … wooing a white supremacist anti-trans bigot for his money.
🟡 NEW: Rep. Ro Khanna is working to pull Elon Musk toward Democrats and talked with one of Musk’s “senior confidants” on Thursday about whether he might want to help the Democratic Party in the midterms.

Good article, but I disagree we are "no longer" a nation who bla bla. Those were the myths. When you write:
"Perhaps we will never again be able to see ourselves as the greatest nation on earth"
We never were. I mean, extra rights for white males was baked into our founding laws, after all.

Per the New York Times, Jessica Ramos is endorsing Andrew Cuomo for New York City Mayor today.
Here’s what she said about Cuomo in March below.
In April, she said his “mental acuity is in decline” and that New Yorkers could not afford a “Joe Biden moment” at City Hall.

As I've said before, I don't link to or share your story if you don't link to the documents. I'll literally go find the case myself or find another story that does share the documents rather than encourage this behavior, which is anti-educational and poor journalism.
Once again, I am begging reporters to include copies of court documents when you are reporting on them.
This has been my white whale for over a decade. I don't understand what is wrong with people. You're reporting on a document but you don't link the document? Is it crack? What is it?
