Two statements that are compatible. a. I don't think concealed carry is a good policy. b. I do not believe that someone carrying a gun in compliance with a state's gun laws gives federal law enforcement the right to murder them.

The invincible resolve and indomitable spirit of a community determined to throw off the yoke of injustice. Thank you Minneapolis for your strength and nonviolent resistance amidst horrific ongoing tragedy.

Miller demands 3,000 arrests per day. To hit those numbers, ICE must arrest people who aren't criminals, diverting resources from actual public safety threats.

If you know anyone who was exploited on Backpage before it was closed down for human trafficking, tell them that there is a pool of money available for survivors and free legal help in applying for it: www.backpageremissionnetwork.org

You love to see @akalhan.bsky.social having successfully coined a new phrase.

If Democrats *don’t* try to make anti-corruption their focus and deliver real reforms, what will happen to their party—and to what’s left of American democracy? www.thebulwark.com/p/anti-corru...

This is not going anywhere good. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-a-war-...

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

It’s okay. To wear old clothes. To not upgrade your phone. To buy second hand items. To live in a simple home. It’s okay to lead a simple life. #Minimalism

Mike Johnson: "The WIC program, the nutrition program -- women, infants, and children -- that program won't be funded. FEMA won't be funded."

OMG, this afternoon's ANTIFA Board of Directors meeting went on and on. I thought Jesus would *never* stop talking!

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Yes, it does matter.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know her opponent’s name. That’s how desperate she is to keep her seat. I’m Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running against her. Share my name.

Korea's leading press agency publishes accounts from the Hyundai/LG employees and execs who were brutalized, put in chains and subjected to hours of racist taunts by Trump's secret police... much of which was comically ignorant (ICE agents called them "Rocket Men"). Needs US translation.

Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.

Face it, MAGA, if your president's name weren't all over the Epstein files, they would have been released unredacted, printed, and bound in $500 special editions signed by Trump, recorded as an audio book by Mel Gibson, and tattooed on Laura Loomer's ass.

@msnbc.com @velshimsnbc.bsky.social @stephruhle.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social do the right thing! Stand up for @matthewjdowd.bsky.social

@msnbc.com I stand with @matthewjdowd.bsky.social

that wsj story now feels like a culmination of anti-trans panic that should prompt a reckoning in the mainstream media. was totally bunk, false, peddled. it’s the kind of thing that has led to reconciliation before, and it should now. news editors should be looking at themselves in the mirror

"These acts all emerged from a culture of political violence that has been waxing for nearly a decade." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-assass...

" for all who draw the sword will die by the sword " I'm posting solely for context of what and where the actual quote is from

If listing cases of 2025 US political violence, one would include the Charlie Kirk killing, the Melissa Horman killing (MN state legislator), and the CDC shooting. The president omitting Horman and CDC, but reaching back 8 years for a non-deadly shooting to cite, conveys approval of those shootings.

Perhaps Putin understood the gesture for what it was: Trump's red carpet was a kind of white flag, a signal of submission and supplication.

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"

Will ICE send guys to Boston looking for red hair and listening for brogues? Or stake out delis in Chicago to see who buys a kielbasa? No. This is about profiling people by skin color and language. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

The “anti-war” president blows up 11 people in the Caribbean. Read about this and other recent abuses of executive power in our roundup. @tracinski.bsky.social

In the SCOTUS ruling unleashing what a judge described as "roving patrols" of racial profiling, Kavanaugh cited the Trump admin's unsourced stat about immigration in LA. There's reason for skepticism, and Sotomayor called him out. My deep dive www.allrisenews.com/p/trump-scot...

"Cadets must be prepared for combat. But their education is about far more than lethality. It is about becoming a leader of character....loyalty, duty, respect, selflessness, service, honor, integrity, personal courage." You know who that doesn't describe.

#ProudBlue The last thing we need is ICE being able to further monitor us - breaking into our phones, into our encrypted messages & even turning our phones into devices to spy for them. But here we are and it’s terrifying!
