📣 Political violence is gun violence, and it’s silencing our First Amendment freedoms.
The ‘individual right’ to carry guns isn’t from 1791 — it was created by the gun lobby Supreme Court justices in 2008 (Heller) & expanded in 2022 (Bruen).

The Epstein Investigation is so much bigger than you can imagine. It is not only about justice for survivors—it is also about the institutions and systems that protected rich and powerful men they knew were abusing women and children: the banks, the government agencies, and other powerful people.

Legitimately when I worked at @washingtonpost.com and I'd get on the phone, I'd pretend I was Robert Redford as Bob Woodward on the phone, even though I was just a junior associate editor and not a swashbuckling reporter. He made journalism look cool and inspired generations. RIP.

My book is about to go into production and I have a section about Karen being the last remaining Black person on the editorial desk at wapo and why that was a really bad sign for truth-telling and critique (and made her very vulnerable) and well…

After we learned Kirk's killer was not on the left, what did Stephen Miller say? That Kirk's last message to him was "we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence." He stated: "We are going to do that!” Facts don't matter to fascists:
Warning: just because Charlie Kirk’s killer was a white guy from a MAGA family we can expect Trump to attempt to use Kirk’s murder to grab more power and target Democrats with criminal investigations, etc That is what fascist leaders have long done.

No more pretending. There is no more Supreme Court. There is nothing Trump will do that will make GOP Congress stop him. They do not intend to have further elections. They plan to go after dissent. Sometimes it’s helpful to establish where we are so we understand the nature of our task.

It’s always great to see the orange felon being booed everywhere he goes, especially when the boos are thunderous like those he received at the US Open men’s final in New York. He should be in jail, not watching tennis whilst destroying the country.
